I've been going through my albums that I haven't listened to recently. This week I came across this one that a friend gave me several years ago. I don't think I've ever listened to it, except may be "big me". I haven't been able to put it down. I have the 2nd FF album and wasn't that impressed by it, but this one fucking rocks through and through; I'm hooked. I've always liked FF singles when they're on the radio, but I didn't know they could be this good. I may pull out the 2nd someday and give it another chance.

kidding.....:D
great album....:)
it's really not even a record.
They were all demos, and some record company guy said "let's just put it out as it"
but yeah, you're correct. Grohl did everything and put together a live band after.
If 'The Color and the Shape' is their second album, you need to listen again. It's still as great as it was 10 years ago. One of my favorite albums.
Another habit says its long overdue
Another habit like an unwanted friend
I'm so happy with my righteous self
static rules, great album
I just fell in love with their new album
no more shows
I remember having the glow-in-the-dark vinyl single for that somewhere.
The foos are an ECELLENT live band to see though. They do play "Greatest hots type setlists though, but are still amazing to see live.

They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all
Surely if a bunch of demos or B-sides get put on a studio album, they then become A-sides.

Enjoy the concert. They put on an awesome show. Dave Grohl really knows how to work the crowd and he's pretty damn funny too.
That is a good record. I need to get another copy of that. Mine is somewhere in a basement in St. Louis, and I know I can't count on my mom to have time to dig around and find it.
Not crazy about any subsequent FF records anymore, but I still like that one.
As for how the 1st album came about... there seems to be some confusion. What happened was Grohl wrote Pocketwatch (Under the pseudonym Late!) during his time at Nirvana then decided to release it when Nirvana ended. He got it on smalltime distribution on cassette just so he could tell his friends and then they could buy it. One of his friends got it, liked it, and then somehow sent it to a record company and let them know it was grohl. The record company liked it some they asked Grohl to write so more, and that was the first foo album.
It wasn't really a load of B sides slammed together, since Grohl never had any intention of releasing them. Even if Nirvana went on I doubt they would have become B sides, out of all the songs Grohl wrote only Marigold was released under Nirvana's name. But you're right about the band not coming together until after the first album.
