  • I think he can sing pretty well.
    I've never gotten into his band though.
    Go see The Avett Brothers!!
  • you're smoking Rolling Stone magazine.

    i bought the issue with eddie vedder on the front and the one with jennifer aniston naked...other than that i don't even look at that magazine, i just like the foo fighters, pearl jam, the white stripes and beck. and to the other guy who said the white stripes were "noise pollution"...i just disagree, i saw them at music midtown in atlanta 2005 and i thought they were excellent. to each is own i guess.

    Grohl isn't a bad vocalist; pretty average in my book. corin tucker of sleater kinney wins for worst vocalist and most annoying vocalist ever. End of discussion.

    Gonna have to disagree with ya there. Corin Tucker has one of the most beautiful, powerful, moving voices I've heard. Sleater-Kinney breaking up was my low point of 2006.

    As for Dave Grohl, I think he's pretty weak when singing live (except perhaps the new acoustic record, which I haven't heard). It's like he's too low in the mix and needs to scream to be heard or something. He's alright in the studio though, better than a lot of singers (just not Corin Tucker;))
    Smokey Robinson constantly looks like he's trying to act natural after being accused of farting.

    no many musicians in general music has done what dave did, formed a really good band after being part of a succesful band.... how many drummers has become as a good singer with a great band? ....


    and dave not might be a great singer, but the way he handle it is really good...
  • yeah well i saw the white stripes this year and i wouldn't call them noise pollution. of course i am a big jack white fan anyway. so mine is hardly an unbiased opinion. but it's more about the guitar playing than the singing anyway.


    Jack White is a fantastic guitarist, that point is beyond dispute. But unless you happen to write songs as good as Dylan or Corgan you can't have a voice like that and get away with it. Meg is the one that gets to me really for I don't really mind Jack all that much. She is surely the worst drummer to have ever made it big.

    Have we lost our way tonight?
    Have we lost our hope to sorrow?

    Feels like were all alone
    Running further from what’s right
    And there are no more heroes to follow

    So what are we becoming?
    Where did we go wrong?

    He should just stick to drumming.

    Go drum for QOTSA full-time would be my advice.

    FUUUUUUUCK YES sir!!!

    i got nothin' against the white stripes, and especially dont have anything against jack white - but no way in hell are the three dudes you listed the "best" around today. ed's peak was on binural, dave's been goin furiously downhill since songs for the deaf and jack white's good...but not that good.

    Well, there is Phil Collins, but I never really liked Genesis. I agree though, most people would have disappeared, or had a dud atempt.
    I was disappointed in "In Your Honor", no new ideas after One by One, which was great, too many simple octave riffs.
    Music is not a competetion.
  • i think there are a few here that need to pick up the Skin and Bones CD

    or DVD

    or both!!! :)


    you'll be blown away, it's beautiful music.

  • Do the Foo cover any Nirvana songs during their shows? That would be interesting.

    But Foo fighters was only good on their first record, when grohl wrote it all.

    yeah, their first album rocks, the rest isn't good, but he can sing. Anyone noticed the change in grohl's voice since nirvana? He sounded like a little kid a now all of a sudden he's screaming his loungs out, wtf?!
    .love your plectrum and treat it with respect.

    Marigold was a Nirvana B-side, but dave wrote it. Dave is a great rock musician.anyone who has seen the foos live would know that and not talk shit in this forum. As far as his voice..listen to Everlong acoustic and reasses.
