In my opinion,one of the best rock bands around today.Guitars,drums,bass..how can it get any better????
I only see the new release, Echoes,Silence,Pateince & Grace,due Sept. 25...,just continuing the further evolution of the Foo's...

Yep. He also played all the drums on The Colour and the Shape except for Doll and the slow part in Up In Arms which William Goldsmith did. And he and Taylor shared the drum parts on There is Nothing Left to Lose.

He's a man of many talents for sure.:)

I was surprised when I saw they re-released The Colour and the Shape.

I worked as a waiter out in Malibu, and while I served many celebrities, Dave was one of my favorites. Very nice and tipped me HUGE! Believe it or not, but a lot of celebrities generally leave normal tips (18-20%). The only two people that I would say were a better overall experience were Dustin Hoffman and Edward Norton. Dustin bought me an entree and let me sit down and eat with him and his friend...while I was working! Luckily, my manager was cool and it was a slow night so I gave away my other tables.

I think that they are stupidly over rated. 60% of their last record was filler. And One By One is unlistenable.

This is one of my favorite foo clips

PJ will always be my favorite band...


but I think the foos are a better ROCK band

pj's musicianship and songwriting is superior by far

but live the foos are always in high gear live

I think it would be interesting to hear a new Foos album with Pat Smear adding a 3rd guitar to the proceedings.:)

ive always been a big fan of the foos but i was not impressed with there last studio album, it was very blah. . .especially the acoustic side, it was sleep inducing. . .and i usually like there softer songs

angryyoungman

colour and the shape is a phenomenal album. . .and there first record was great as well. . .

agreed.....too much filler and not very focused.....but the new album sounds like it could be very cool......and after seeing them open for the police i can't wait to see a full show....:)

Good band, last album was awful! Fun to see live but there are better bands...

Dave is a great musician but just doesn't do much for me live...

I love alot of the foos songs (Like the first 2 records and all the singles) but is it bad if I think they are way better live? I've seen them live twice, and my God, they are AMAZING! Hope I don't get reemed for this.

Also is Pat permenantly back in the band, or is he just lending a hand? Like on the accoustic tour and dvd/ new album?

I think Pat was just on the accoustic tour, not sure if he is on the new album, but I would love to hear them as a 5 piece with Pat on an album.:)

I agree. I thought that "Times Like These" song was embarassing...a far cry from the quality of their first two albums.

I love the Foos. And they are great to see live.
My ONLY criticism would be...
Then need to go deeper into their vast catalog for their live shows. Yeah, we all love the hits... and you know 'Evelong' is a staple, like 'Yellow Ledbetter' is to us... but, there are so many songs in their catalog they can bring out.
Other than that... great live shows. And I love 'Stacked Actors'.... not just the song... but, that's when Dave goes into the audience with his guitar and the whole place goes crazy.
