Foo Fighters

Love the Foo Fighters.

All of their albums are fantastic and if you can catch them live then do it - they played for nearly three hours when I saw them last November. Dave Grohl is a helluva performer.

My favorite is their first album. It's self-titled and has this alien-looking gun on it. To know that Dave Grohl performed that entire album by himself is truly remarkable. He's such a talent. Some of it was stuff he put together during Nirvana's end. And if when you listen to it, try to imagine Kurt Cobain singing some of the lyrics or at least more of Nirvana feel to it. It's kind of fun.

Their recent album, "Wasting Light" just won an crapload of awards and deservedly so. The first song on the album - "Bridge Burning" - is my favorite.

 

In my mind I always compare them to CCR — a band that churns out great songs, does it without much fanfare and will be more heralded for that consistency by critics than it is currently heralded. "Sound Opinions" took a dig at the band a few months ago and I was pleased to hear the listeners stand up to Jim Derogatis and Greg Cot in the after-show calls.

 

Great question. I kind of view the Foo Fighters like I view Pearl Jam. I keep hearing about how good they are but have yet to hear something that makes me want to dig in further.

 

I've long enjoyed the Foo Fighters, too. They had a great jam with Mick Jagger on SNL this past weekend.

 

My answer would have to be:

I came to the Foos late, and their genre isn't necessarily in my ballpark. But they're just so good at what they do.

 

Easily one of my five favorite Foo songs. And a great performance.

 

Pretty cool:

 

Easy: Grohl playing drums while McCartney plays base on one of his own songs

 

Grohl is one of the coolest guys around.
The quote I'll always remember is when he was on Stern shortly after Prince died........
Howard asked Grohl if Prince was a better musician than Grohl.......Grohl's response........"Dude......Prince is a better DRUMMER than I am."
He just gets it.

 

I like everything about the Foo Fighters except the singing. Musically, I think they're incredible.

 

Love love love this.

 

That's about the only song I like.
