At least know what you are talking about. The band that is currently constructed has been together for 13 years. How is that a house band. They have actually been a complete and unchanged band just as long as PJ has.

actually, Pat has only been in the band since 2006...unless you want to count his start date as 1995

don't focus on the house band comment...focus on the fact that dave dominates everything in the band....at least that is how it was portrayed in the movie.

Hate to break it to you, Ed dominates everything in this band also. And Pat has been a member for 10 of the 17 years, including the last 6 years. He has always been a part of the band, it was just when he felt like playing he would come in.

i would agree, Ed is big part of what the band does...but IMO, with PJ, the other members contribute alot more to the music than what Dave's house band does.

Brisk.

You're a joke

You have no idea what you are talking about. I'm done with this conversation. First it was a house band until you found out they have all been together longer than you expected(and longer than the current PJ), now it's Dave controls everything(which almost all vocalists of there ilk do) and then when you realize that you change up again.

Well played.

:roll:


i don't see Ed kicking Matt off the drums so he can lay down the track...or kicking Boom off the keys, or jeff off the bass or mike/stone off the guitars

from what i saw....dave wanted to control everything,...play all the tracks for the records...and then have the band play the instruments during the tour....that's what the movie make it look like...

Cheers.

they don't speak to me like PJ does but I can appreciate that they do to others

they seemed so happy last evening and full of personality, that was nice to watch

Pandora, IMO, FF give the next best live show to PJ. You mentioned that they were full of personality, they bring that A game to each performance and they are amazing. I just thought it was neat how you pointed that out in your post and I wanted to emphasize it. They are just the same each night on stage as they were at the show last night.

EV definitely seems to be in charge, but I don't think the band dynamic is the same. Dave Grohl is much more of a dictator, where there's still some democracy with PJ. I think most people look at Vitalogy as the point EV took over and on most of their albums since then you can hear all the different influences of the individual members. With FF you know what you're gonna get, and that's often the product of a band controlled by 1 person. There's not really even much variance in their acoustic stuff from their heavier tunes.

I definitely see where 81 is coming from with the "house band" comment, though I think it's overstated a bit.

I love the Foos, I'm really happy that they won. Maybe some of the kids who were watching the Grammys because of some crappy pop band will now discover GOOD music. Not getting my hopes up though, because of this bit of news: http://www.buzzfeed.com/mjs538/who-is-paul-mccartney. I am slowly but surely losing faith in mankind. :wtf:

Let me put it this way, if Ed doesn't like a song it doesn't make it to the album. Sure they all have input and the ability to write songs, but at the end of the day it's up to Ed as to what gets on and what doesn't. If you don't believe that you are fooling yourself.

OK...there has never been a song on a FF's album that Grohl isn't credited.

I'm totally with you that Ed's the final say so.
I think sometime with singers(especially Ed) they have to really be into a tune or a lyric written by somebody else.

I think that Dave Grohl is being mistaken for Billy Corgan in some of these comments....
