    foo fighters are playing irving plaza and starland ballroom the next few days!!!  why can't pearl jam do something like this?!?!
    Because they’re no fun. Their idea of fun is pushing clearance posters on us. It’s a shame I can’t stand the foos or phish or countless other bands that always do cool shit 
    Im with you on the foo's, I wish I understood the hype around them or how on earth they fill countless stadiums. beyond their first two records the music, imo at least, is just bang average and I couldnt be less interested in going to see them. 

    Dave does have a solid aura around him (outside his recent mishaps that is) but there has to be more to it than that. 

    They played some club shows in the Uk last month and even driving one hour to get in seemed too much effort. 
    Agree, never understood the hype with the foos.  I have tickets to see them in phlly in august and have no desire to go.
    Paul, big match Sunday!!!!
    They do put on a decent show. But every show on a given tour is usually pretty much the same. So I would never do multiple shows like I do with PJ and some other bands.

    Was thinking the same.  I always listen to Foos, but took a massive live break on them (for not any reason really).  I went from last show seen in 99 or 2002 at Roseland and Hammerstein Ballroom to seeing them at Citi Field in 2024.  They still got it.

    I'm more surprised that as of next week it will be 10 months since Matt left the band and no drummer update. If you would have told me back on July 7th 2025 that we still wouldn't have any news on a new drummer by May of 2026, I would not have believed it. At this point, let's get a drummer and then talk of a tour. 
    Do you know what it's like to fall in the mud and get kicked... in the head... with an iron boot? Of course you don't, no one does. It never happens. Sorry, Ted, that's a dumb question... skip that.

    Don't forget to park in the Free spot that is close to the Walt Whitman Bridge, so you can get out of there easily so you can head back to CJ.

    It's likely that there is no need to announce a drummer with no plans/hints of new music or live shows. I'm sure that they have some candidates in mind, but there's no point in putting that news out there for no reason. 

    Different circumstances altogether, but the Foos didn't announce Josh Freese until 3 days before their 2023 tour started lol.

    I always believed Ohana would be the only Pj shows this year with a possible 5-8 dates in South America in November. Now I’m shooting for March 2027, which fucking sucks. That said, I’m going to so many shows this year: Wolfmother, Geese, Goose, Strokes, Billy, Amyl, Gorillaz, Widespread Panic, Noah Kahan, Mt Joy, Gregory Allen Isakov

    The only time I saw Ed solo was 2008 somewhere uptown Manhattan
    United Palace Theatre. I was right behind Judd Apatow & Paul Rudd. Great set of shows.
    I was at one of those shows as well. It was fantastic. 

    To think that I know live a 10min walk from there…
    That place was a shit hole and a fire trap. And I am sorry if you live up there. 
    To each their own. I’ve seen other shows there and it’s a great venue (no idea what makes it a “fire trap”)!

    And if you don’t like the neighborhood, well, that’s ok too. As a born and bred NYer, I think it’s a hidden gem, one of the best in the 5 boroughs.

    It is such a disappointment really. 2024/2025 the band was so much on fire in the best way. Especially so late in their career. Best run since 03 (maybe 06, but probably 03) so it really sucks just kind of being ghosted.

    I don't think they're ghosting us. It's not like they don't want to play.
    Matt left, and knowing that replacing him would take a while, they decided to use the time for a hiatus.

    100% with you on this, even this summer when they're playing Anfield in Liverpool on a Thursday and Saturday night then you can maybe expect one song different between the two nights.  We complain about the lack of setlist diversity if PJ have maybe 6 or 7 repeats over two shows, with Foo Fighters it's more like 23 out of 24 songs will be repeated.

    As someone who went to the London show I'd suggest you missed out.  If you love the energy of live music then seeing a band of their stature in a small venue with a stripped back stage setup and just bringing energy, emotion and simply the unadulterated joy of playing live music then its quite an experience.

    Yep... small venues make all the difference and they never phone it in

    I have never fully understood the fan expectation that there will be some grand unveiling for the new drummer.  The new guy can really never be a direct replacement for Matt, they just won't have the same shared history nor are they likely to be an equal collaborator/full band member.  I have always felt that this is much more likely to be a Josh or Boom type deal with the new guy either being introduced as part of releasing new music or when they next hit the road.
