    I would listen to the Foo Fighters to prepare for the album, but I find myself listening to Nirvana's "In Utero" instead. At least it has Dave Grohl in it.

    I never could get in to Nirvana (Kinda hate them), are Them Crooked Vultures any good?

    Rico,

    Give Nirvana's first album, "Bleach" a listen. Always loved this album and has some great songs. :P

    Well i hope everybody gets to see them....but I'm damn glad I won't be waiting until the fall
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all

    Looks like Foo Fighters will be headlining Lollapalooza this year, which means US tour dates should be happening soon!
    They probably won't be able to announce any dates until Lolla is announced/sold out and there can't be any dates too close by too soon...
    Yeah. I know we'll get dates soon. They go to Europe and end on July 10th, but then it shows them going back on August 20th. Lollapalooza is happening in that gap. So hopefully we see dates around that time. If not, looks like an arena tour late summer/early fall.

    true, :oops:

    I'd say go with "Nevermind", or "in utero" then.

    Dave is an asparagus connoisseur. “You'll know your asparagus is ready when you pick it up and it looks like a limp penis.” :lol::lol::lol:

    I'm seriously hooked to that link. Thanks again eeriepadave! :D

    Dave likes cheese. A lot. He’s “not down” with goat cheese, though, because it’s “too sour” and he imagines “sucking a dirty goat’s tit”. “Whereas a cow,” he says, “with those big supple handlebar nipples, I'll suck the hell out of those.”

    Just got my vinyl copy of this album. There has been vinyls that have definitely sounded better than CD or MP3, but in my opinion, this one blows every other sound away. The vinyl is literally perfect.

    Can't wait to listen to it! I think it sounds really good is because they recorded it on analog.

    Still need to buy this on CD. I was told that they all come with a piece of a master tape from the record...is this true?

    Very true. I think the tape would be worth it alone.

    It can't be said enough...i was about to reiterate that point myself...flat-out awesome is correct.
    I can't stop listening to it....I've tried to put something else in but it never lasts long

    I'm the same, I'm trying to limit myself because I don't wanna wear it out, but at the moment nothing is coming close!

    Awesome. :D I gotta say that Foos really promoted this album well, from the Facebook "radio", free album preview and releasing the documentary on national TV prior to the album going on sale, as well. And the bonuses of the Ed Sullivan theater and this link above showcasing the entire album? God, if only PJ's management could do justice like this... Great album + Innovative marketing + good PR = Magic!

    It also helps that Dave Grohl doesn't age!! :D
