a jerk, comon

i thought serg was a good singer, piece of shit.

dude im totally down with half of whats in this post, but I just cant agree when musicians get put down and ripped in here.

thats all

im sorry if I offended anyone, becasue I was not trying too, I thought walking out of the show is a lil melow dramatic, and probably over exagerated

peace

you didnt offend... dont worry... but SOAD does offend my ears everytime i hear them... BOOOO!

Posts like this are so ridiculous. The OP was just sharing his opinion, and you crap on him. But who are you to say anything? Maybe someone will crap on your opinion. Then how would you feel? People are allowed to think and feel however they want. And your post had nothing to do with Ed or the band. So maybe you should take your Foo & Serj lovin' over to their forums.

It hanst changged around here at all.

Someone rips a musician to shreds in a disrespectfull way

piece of shit to be exact
talantless blah blah blah.

so than someone agrees its an opinion, and trys to clean it up

than a buddy or someone looking to sound tuff shows up and makes it worse and blames us when all we did was respond respectively, and subjectively, we didnt crap on him at all.

Hands down the only crapping in htis post was calling others musicians pieces of shit, which is against the rules might I add.

So now you are telling us to get out and go love serg and foo,and tell me to go get laid, when I was sratight up respectfull
because of our opinion.
Its great when we it comes to this nonsene and goes absolutley knowhere.

I dont own any of their music, but he is original, and he is good for music, its better than every band trying to sound like ed.

Thats my point
I really do like the foos, especially their new album, and their shows are not bad, great nights out when nothing else is around.

Wow, I would have taken a day off of work to drive down from WI to Chicago to see Foo Fighters and Serj on a Monday night if I had a vacation day I could use! To each his own I guess. While the Foo Fighters aren't outwardly "exceptional" in any sense, they steadily create GOOD music. I look at them in the same category as Stone Temple Pilots. Neither band ever did anything OUTSTANDING, but along the way they both made a lot of good music despite retaining the same sound over time. And if you put the shoe on the other foot, there's probably plenty of people out there who would say Foo Fighters or STP are better then PJ because they stuck to their signature sound and perfected it. I think PJ is a much better band for having the balls to experiement and evolve over the years, but I don't think the FF or STP are bad either.

And as for Serj, I used to fucking HATE SOAD when they first came out! I thought they were loud, annoying, obnoxious, and pointless. But, listening to the music and having seen a few live shows, my opinion is completely the opposite now. The guy is an INNOVATOR, and he does have an excellent voice.

So how do you feel when mike does the glam rock solos
and the long glorifying band intros
and how did you feel when cobain mocked Ed.

Seen PJ live since 1992... Never recalled a glam rock solo. Never recalled a band intro that was more than 3 min and PJ deserved to be mocked by Cobain.

Ive heard Mikes glam rock solos live at the camden 2000 shows.

He plays rifs from Irom maiden and Ozzy.

And I have never heard the Bon Jovi song, but he was quoted as saying he had.

Also I have also heard mike play songs with a an 80s metal style sound with a white flying v mailny jones beach 2000.

Define these Foo Fighter glam rock riffs?


When I saw them, it remeinded of exactly what STP did, they play Deep Purple rifs ect, ect, before songs. And Dave did a lot of sreaming, kind of a happy but an upwardly chanting kind of a scream.

I love long intros im sorry but I have to admit that. Anything to change things up.

Pj has done some intros close to 3 min.
The Jack Irons steel drum intro on the 96 tour.And they added a nice intro to Garden in 06
They had a long intro into inside job, which now that I think of it was sort glam chords and definantly differant than the album, during North Jersey 06.

Their was also a real good 2 min intro in Europe 2000 before present tense.

So I am sure the Foos were not as good as PJ, but its still all creative. And better than the usual, becasue most bands just play their songs radio style, and that is the first thing I try to compare.

What the hell is a "glam rock solo"?

I loved Serj, he has unique voice and puts on a good show.

Not so much a fan of their cd's but always thought I'd enjoy them live. This makes me wonder?

slightofjeff

Frankly, I couldn't imagine liking a band so much I decided to attend one of their shows ...

Then getting so pissed off in the middle that I walk out entirely.

Of course, I won't walk out of a bad movie, so there ya go

better on cd, imo... kind of fun to see live though... but like it was stated before they don't change the set much.

Seen the Foos every tour since 2003..and they definately are doing more showy things..it can be frustrating when you like a bands songs and just want to hear the catalog..but people bitched about ed during storytellers too..green day and their posturing last tour really detracted from the show..less talk more rock for sure..but walking out?? i'm not walking after you....

StoneyChix

I'm going to see the FF'S on the 26th of April..I too have seen em a number of times before..I seriously can't wait..let me ask in what way did it seem staged?

The FF'S are usually pretty damn good live...I don't care what anyone says..I can't wait..:)

the only reason why you are calling them poo is because you have your head up your ass!!

foo fighters are great. dave grohl is one of the best front men of the nineties. i think you might have actually been smarter in 97 and 2001!

It was the whole act between songs. From the lame guitar solo contest to the 15 minute over glorifying band intro. It was what i imagine a bonjovi show to be. But what really disappointed me was the 5 mintue glam guitar session in the middle of staked actors... Ruined such a great song

I saw the Foos on the 2005 tour and they were very good. Dave Grohl has been tainted by the radio freindly

I couldnt help but think how Cobain would haved mocked him.

I saw them in Feb. And i 100% agree with this statment.

They sounded amazing....when they got around to playing songs. Between the solos and Dave never shutting the fuck up. He went on a rant about how it was gonna be a long show. And we should get ready for old and new songs. But in the time it took him to say even just that they could have played 2 songs ....it was such a waist of time.

The new album rocks!

And Serj Tankian fucking rules! I was never a System fan by any means ...but i love Serj's Solo effort.

If its not pj it has to suck huh. Its so competitve, you know serg and ed are doing a big charity for a war veteran.

But he a big piece of shit huh.

amazing, its totally understandable not to like him, but he has a very unique style of singing, and its differant.

Music is suposed to be diifferant.
It really is supossed to be differant.


Maybee the foos and serg should do exactly what Ed does.
As far as walking out, you shouldnt have went, becasue that album is good and they are what they are and have always been. So if you really did leave early your crazy for going.

sorry, just my opinion.

it has nothing to do with pearl jam idiot. thanks for the lesson on music too professor.

this serj asshole came on stage thinking he was the most clever person in the world with his little speeches but all he was was a two-bit hack who did nothing but quote cliches like "religion is the real evil" and "money is ruining your life, burn your money"

hes a piece of garbage. his voive sucks, he dresses like a ringmaster, hes not clever, hes ignorant as fuck and he comes off as a JOKE.

thats MY opinion professor. just because music is different doesnt mean its good. wanna give me some more pointers idiot?

I saw the Foos for the 6th time in November last year, and i do know what the original poster means, they do seem to have lost a little of the raw edge that they used to have when it was just four guys playing the hell out of their instruments on stage.

Now they've got about 9 people on stage and although the new stuff is their best in a couple of albums, it doesn;t have quite that intensity that it used to, that feeling that anything could happen at any moment.

I'm seeing them for the first time In sydney in just over a month, and I am really really excited. I think/hope they will be fine.

They still have not announced who is supporting them. Hopefully someone good.
