There is a lot of shit that I don't like. I generally just avoid those threads. You instead came in just to say some inflammatory stuff. Not shocking that it sparked a debate.
But come on, Nickelback? When did they ever write anything close to Everlong?

No, I'm not shocked, and debate is good at any rate. But i actually came in here to ask about that video because of genuine curiosity, not to piss people off. Just because in don't like FF doesn't mean i shouldn't talk about them or be curious about them and their fans (especially since it's impossible to avoid them - theu seem everywhere, lol). I'm just not an avoider I guess.

people are way too uptight on judging music and the "integrity" of the music. Lyrics don't need to be dark riddles or deeply veiled references to a number of things. Sometimes straight forward works just fine. The individual musicians in the Foos are top-notch. They are also deeply intertwined with "our" music history being direct descendants of Nirvana.
The music makes me feel good. Some songs and albums bring me back to various stages of my life. The time I saw them live kicked ass and probably ranks in the top 3 acts Ive seen.
There really isnt much good Arena Rock and Roll remaining. Embrace what we have.
Decided against the Michigan show, thinking Wrigley will be more than enough for us, and we need to save money.

I often think FF are today what Van Halen was in the late 70s early 80s.Lots of great rock radio cuts and smoking hot arena and stadium shows.

Ya never know.We have been known to be spontaneous like that and just fly on up and get our party on.

Appreciate the awesome hospitality Nart. My kids are 23,21 and 19 all independent and we sure as hell try not to bring them with us on our Fun long weekends.None of them live at home Although my youngest is a big PJ and Foo fan and has come with us to a few shows.We stay Usually in the city at the Hilton Garden Inn north of Times Square by the Roseland and 3monkeys bar.I was born out on the Island and still have a lot of family in the city.My son played part of his college ball up there,so we would come up a few times a year.But he transferred to FSU 2 years ago,so now only to play. Now I can't let you get first round,that's on me pal.And if you come down to the tropics for a show or trip you let me know as we can also be gracious hosts.Peace BB
Just got back from the show. Matt Cameron was at the bar. Only $20 for tickets at the Showbox. First, they played the "Seattle" episode of "Sonic Highways" which premiered tonight on HBO and then played for 3 hours. Dave, Pat and Taylor signed my CD after soundcheck and I also got a gig specific poster and t-shirt. Wish all gigs were like this. A good night.

That's flipping awesome..... I met DG after he played w/ QOTSA in '02..... Probably the coolest most down to earth rock star I've ever met.
That Showbox show sounds like an amazing experience.
Hey all. Would anyone happen to have presale info for the tour they'd be willing to share? I signed up for the mailing list but I think I was too late. I've never seen them before and I just have to go!

Yeah, great show. During a song break, Taylor Hawkins said that Matt Cameron texted him before the show to say, "I'm going to the show tonight to check you out!" and Taylor said something about having to worry about making sure he played his best in front of Matt, haha.
Also, all the members of Dave's pre-Nirvana band "Scream" were in the audience. Dave thought it was ironic that they would come all the way from Virginia to Seatte to see him. Butch Vig also made an appearance and made Dave play "Subterranean" from the new album which is the song about Seattle. Butch got mad at Dave for not putting in it on the set list since they were obviously in Seattle. They had never really played it live before but Dave said to Butch, "Okayyy Dad!" and had the band make an attempt which sounded perfect (to me). haha

"Rock stars, they are just like us. They text each other!"
Kinda silly that they weren't planning to play the Seattle song in Seattle, isn't it? I'm glad Butch took matters into his own hands.
Hoping to get one of these in New York, but not looking forward to attempting for tickets!
Yes, good luck! I'd bet that NY gets a show for sure. I think most of these small shows were announced on Wednesdays and they will probably not do online sales again so prep for that.

The NY show is Friday 12/5, same day as the Sonic Highways NYC episode.
What's the info on tix, I have a feeling that was a stupid question. But I'd def love to go to this show.
No clue. Just know that it's Friday night in NYC as I was entering for Live Nation's Foo Fighters Flyaway (no luck) and the contest rules stated the show it was for was in NYC 12/5.
Ticketing info will come the week of the show, most likely Tues/Wed. These Sonic Highways club shows have been a mixture of online sales (Chicago, Nashville, New Orleans), in person buys at box office or record stores (DC and Seattle), and strictly win your way in (ACL and LA). I won my way in for LA via HBO social media. Look out for that chance a day or two before the show.
