It's being played on some radio station if you haven't heard already. I didn't see a thread. Easily the best single they have released in god knows how long. Just an awsome song all around. I would put it up there with Everlong, Hero, ect.

Who else has heard it?

    I heard it earlier today, and i think its fantastic. It's not a huge departure from previous Foo work, but thats not to say it doesn't kick major ass. What is it about Dave Grohl that he can write these heavy as shit songs with pop hooks that make them anthemic?

    Wow, thats breathtakingly good. I lost interest in the Foo's after the last album, I bought tickets to a joint gig between them and Nine Inch Nails only because NIN were there but if this material is anything to go by I actually have a reason to look foward to this gig aside from NIN obviously :)

    Heard it on its 3rd play on Radio 1 yesterday afternoon and its definitely their most immediate song since All My Life.

    IMHO, the Foos haven't released a really great album in about 10 years now so this has put my hopes high for the new one. Hope it isn't the let down that One By One was after hearing All My Life.

    Foo Fighters have always been an "ok" band that never did too much for me. Really like this new single though.

    I hope the album is good. As far as I'm concerned they haven't done anything useful since Nothing Left to Lose.

    motherfucker... i forgot to download this last night! man, im falling apart. will that link still be up after ben harper finishes tonight?

    anyway, quoted this cos i agree. one by one was a very weak album. in your honor had its moments, but it felt like it would have been a great single disc album that was a stretch of a 2-discer. im stoked for this one though.
