That's awesome. You won't regret it. I'm still looking forward to my first FF show and I'm hoping it's soon when they announce more US shows.

Biffy Clyro is the opening act for the announced U.S. shows, so it is a great triple bill!

On their last tour, I saw them 6 times, so I did get a bit old, but now that they have been away for awhile, I am happy to see them another 6 times again hopefully!

Great live energy, and it is cool that they can break-out one rockin' hit after another. They are one band that doesn't need to go deep into their catalog to please their fans

I really hate to ask, but does anyone by chance have a presale code? I thought I was signed up to receive all of that, but I haven't got anything? I've emailed the FF club, but still waiting for a reply and they go on sale to the public tomorrow. If anyone by any chance has a code for the Memphis show, I would so much appreciate it!!! Plus my son is super excited about his first Foo concert and I would love to have decent seats. I'm kind of desperate right now, so if anyone could PM me, I would greatly appreciate it!!! Thank you in advance!

Whatever picture you want to put up, you can either put the link on here by clicking on IMG at the top and you get this: or if you use image shack, you can adjust the size of it to fit it on the boards and also clicking the IMG at the top. The max size for pictures is 640x480 I believe.

Here is the pic. It's real small, but it was at the Radio broadcast on March 17th here in Houston. DJ told me it was the actual limo used in the video. Apparently, they are using it for promotion for the new album.

That's awesome! I heard they select people and whoever is selected, they get to go inside the limo and listen to the new album in its entirety.

The photo wasn't small at all.

thanks again for your help. I never could figure out how to upload pics on a board. The limo wasn't there very long. Would have gotten an inside shot, but didn't want to piss anyone off and the guy was in a hurry to get to the next destination. I am so so waiting for these tour dates. Tulsa has been announced, for May 17th so I am assuming a Tx date or 2-3 are just around the corner. Foo Fighters live is where it's at! Dave is so damn funny too. so commical. Like Ed, He talks about interesting stuff, and bashes random stuff, about "what's on their minds" it just adds to the greatness of the show, feel free to save the pic and use it for an avitar or whatever. I don't care. Just thought it was a totally cool random thing to see. Honestly, it was the highlight of my day, among having to hang around a bunch of drunks. :roll: Thanks again.

Dave is a comedian. That's why I love Dave. His stories are so funny.

This always cracks me up:

I think they're just musical guests, not actually hosting.

Yellow Ledbelly

Oh shit...now that's must see tv....dave is funnier than any of those goons they've got on there now




Oh...me thinks Johnny is right.




Dave will still do some silly shit I bet.

Oops. Thanks Johnny. Maybe they'll include him in a skit.

I could have sworn one of the times they were on they appeared in a sketch or two, I hope that happens this time too.

First review I found of the album, from Spin:

http://www.spin.com/reviews/foo-fighter ... roswellrca

Foo Fighters
'Wasting Light'
Enter the Foo: Your favorite grungy uncle asserts arena dominance
Spin rating: 9 of 10

First Dave Grohl learned to fly. Then, in "Times Like These," he learned to love and live again. Grohl's latest lesson? "Learning to walk again," as he puts it near the end of the seventh Foo Fighters album. That back-to-basics aspiration is no coincidence: After scaling the uppermost heights of modern-rock stardom -- Grammy Awards, stadium shows, occasionally drumming for Paul McCartney, and a side project with a dude from Led Freaking Zeppelin -- Grohl built a recording studio in his San Fernando Valley garage last year and hired Nevermind producer Butch Vig to oversee Wasting Light, which includes a guest appearance by Nirvana's Krist Novoselic and heralds Pat Smear's full-fledged return to the Foo fold. The thing should come wrapped in flannel.

Yet Wasting Light is much more than a salad-days nostalgia trip -- it's Grohl's most memorable set of songs since 1997's The Colour and the Shape. Three-guitar riff bombs, like "Bridge Is Burning" and "White Limo," brandish real heavy-metal muscle, while the insanely catchy "Back and Forth" summons some of Nevermind's poisoned-pop frenzy. In "I Should Have Known," with Novoselic on bass, Grohl even snatches back the bluesy power ballad from Kings of Leon. But nowhere does this seen-it-all survivor seem more engaged than he does in "Walk," where over a typically surging arena-emo groove he convincingly describes his determination to "keep alive a moment at a time." Sounds simple, feels anything but.
