    I always wondered what the appeal is for this band? His voice is just not good at all and I find their music to be generic rock

    They put on a great show ( although once is enough). They have some good singles but I do generally agree. I will say the first show back at msg after covid was an epic rock n roll celebration. And Aurora is easily my favorite song from them.

    For me I feel like they have a few albums that kickass front to back (colour and the shape, wasting light, etc..).  On the flip side almost every album has at least 1 or 2 poretty good songs.  Add up a career's worth of album and they put on a kickass live show.

    Like the poster above me said, the live show isn't mixed up very much.   I feel the same way about metallica. I go once every 10 to 15 years, but not a band I feel like I need to see every tour.

    Yeah just not my type of music that I like at this stage in my life!

    That’s extremely disappointing

    Yeah, wasn’t expecting that. I wonder if Dave is bringing in Shane Hawkins and didn’t tell Josh why in order to keep that news under wraps. It would seem a bit early IMO but Dave will do whatever the fuck he wants.

    If the situation left Josh feeling that way, Dave fucked up. I've historically been a big Dave Grohl defender but the last 3 or so years has been a real bummer.

    I've never been a fan of the Foos. No real reason, just never got into them.

    That being said, I know Shane has played with them occasionally, but I sure hope he's not doing it full time. The fucking kid is 18. And it's too on the nose for me. Grohl needs to leave him alone for a bit.
    May your days be long, til kingdom come.

    Of course Grohl sabotages the only thing the Foo Fighters have done in the last 15 or 20 years to really pique my interest. If he hires Shane Hawkins, I might just lose the little amount of respect I have left for him. 

    Josh Freese is a National Treasure... I can't wait for his top 10 list.

    I love their 1st three albums, but since Nothing Left To Lose, it's felt like Nothing Left To Listen To (I'll see myself out). 

    Couldn't agree more about Shane though... leave the kid out of it.

    Him returning to APC last year is the best music news for me since Faith No More got back together in 2009. 
    Grohl’s making a fool of himself letting him go for no reason.
