***OFFICIAL FOO FIGHTERS THREAD***

PJ is without a doubt my favorite band... but If they did the things Grohl and company do, people here would be "mind blown"

I think it's more FUN to be a fan of the Foos than it is to be a fan of PJ

Why can't Pearl Jam do something like this?

I knew someone would say it here.

You do not want PJ to do something like this?

Of course I would, but they won't.

True, but PJ has better setlists.

I haven't listened yet, but I will after work today. What's the tracklist?

This is very very true. The one thing I don't get about FF is that they haven't begun mixing up their set lists yet this far into their career.

home sick today and listening, sounds great.

Iron Rooster is Old Man by Neil Young though

I think FF have a much more mainstream fans who aren't necessarily hardcore who wouldn't know b sides and outtakes. I could be wrong though. just from experience, people who seem to be fans of FF are more casual music fans than PJ fans are.

I wonder if the EP vinyl will be offered by Amazon. The $11 price sounds great until you get to the $8 shipping.

I can understand it... And I feel like Foos have more "hits" that they feel need to be played every night

I saw that too. I also saw the record on amazon.com but not on amazon.ca yet. Hopefully it makes it's way to amazon.ca

I've noticed quite the trend in shipping rates from the US to Canada getting really expensive. It used to be that it was marginally more to ship to Canada than it was to the US (via USPS). Has USPS jacked up their rates so much that it actually costs an arm and leg to ship here?

I don't trade things often but when I do the postage paid on the sticker by an individual person seems drastically lower than what online websites are charging :(

Isn't that the more common way to do it? Bands like Pearl Jam and Springsteen seem to be more like anomalies than the status quo?

I like the Foo Fighters but I find I really like Self-Titled, TCATS, and Wasting Light. The other albums have maybe 2 or 3 tracks I like. Maybe other people feel the same way (the deep cuts aren't as good as other bands deep cuts). Thus they play it safe and stick to the songs people know?

I turned on the radio this morning and Saint Celilia was on. I knew it was the Foos but I didn't recognize the song. Dug it. I'll listen to the rest the EP later

Neverending sigh is great! Hard to believe they sat on this song for 20 years. The other 4 are pretty good too! Love this collection!
