    If anyone on here knows of anyone with a spare standing ticket to the Wembley Stadium show on the 20th June, I'd be very interested! Cheers

    I booked a long awaited trip to UK(my wife is British and hasn't been back since she was a kid)A couple months ago.I fucking leave the UK 2days before the first show.That fucking sucks.I would love to experience a Wembley show.The DVD is one of my favs.But I guess I'll have to just appreciate the fact that I will go to about 6-7 FF dates here in the States.

    I saw at least two ticket scalper sites that already have Fenway tickets for sale...... Unbelievable.

    I'm gonna say it's prob someone who has access to tix from Fenway like someone on the board or something and doesn't give 2 shits about foos?
    BB,u going to RFK or just Citi ?

    Yeah, the Fenway management definitely is in bed with scalpers. How else do you think that the red sox had such a long sellout streak when there were games with many empty seats? However, the tickets online could also be from season ticket holders that get advanced access. I used to have a 10-game pack and they would almost always give me that opportunity.

    Well, got to the palace right at 8, was about 25th in line, and then with the random draw, I was about 175th person to buy tickets. So they seats aren't the greatest, but left side row BB. I'm gonna see what the online sale has available. Would like to get closer and more center

    I hate the random draw idea. Should be first come first serve

    Wow.
    Not sure how FF has fans who also love PJ.... but since that is obviously the case, how do you FF fans feel about this clip??

    Why does it have to be one or the other? Is there some sophomoric feud over the two bands, or are people not allowed to listen to bands that play different types of music? They are very similar from a marketing perspective, both did a week on a late night talk show, both promoted there new albums heavily on TV like ESPN, and both had specials on TV about the making of their newest albums. Both headline festivals, and care about getting tickets into the hands of fans.

    It's pretty ridiculous to be honest with you.. It's Dave fkn Grohl, probably one of the most coolest/talented musicians out there who actually has a sense of humor and knows music. I don't like every FF song but I like a lot of them, and this new album after watching each episode of Sonic Highways just makes it better. "We" PJ fans take ourselves a little too serious sometimes when it comes to music. It's a beautiful listening curse…...

    No need to get defensive. I don't think it has to be one or the other at all (i am a massive fan of all.kinds of different bands. FF just isn't one of them). I wasn't passing judgement on FF fans. I am happy when people like any kind of music even if i don't get why - I honestly don't give a shit. If others like music i don't like, good for them - it's better to like something than to not. Why I said I was surprised PJ fans would be into FF is because of what that very video suggests.... PJ is so not like that, and it's hard to defend Dave's attitude about music writing in that video.

    So yes, I am criticizing FF - I think they suck. But i know other people are fans. Just wondering how they react to shit like this video shows!

    And there really is no meaningful similarity between PJ and FF in my opinion. Marketing and both playing festivals, etc is neither here nor there. I'm thinking only of the quality of the music. As far as I can tell, FF/Dave aren't very interested in that as long as they crank out "hits". Fuck the deep cuts. And he has a formula for writing the hits... straight from Dave Grohl's mouth.
    I would have thought this would bug the FF fans is all, so I'm curious what fans think of this vid. If EV said something like this I'd be devastated.

    I was going to comment but then I remembered that I'm not a FF fan so I don't have a dog in this hunt…

    It's a great read though!

    congrats to those who got tix. I didn't try, don't care for Susquehanan Bank Center or Camden at all :)) Now if they were to play at Citizens Bank Park I would have tried tix for that. I have heard rumors they might play a smaller venue in philly the day before or after that show though.

    Not defensive, I have never bought a Foo Fighters album, nor have I heard anything but what is on the radio, for the most part. So I wouldn't say I'm a huge fan, but I like some of their music. And just like with Pearl Jam, I don't like some of their music. I've heard that they put on a good show, and I liked the idea of selling to people in person before selling online, so I went and it was fun. Met some cool FF fans.

    But you definitely said that you don't see how anyone can be a FF fan and also a PJ fan. No denying that, it's documented above. And I just don't like the attitude that people have to get all crazy about the politics and the commercialism; if you like the music, that's all that matters. I didn't even watch that video above because I don't care. And I don't even want to argue with you, that comment just struck a chord, and I had to say something last night.
