    I'm jealous. I'm broke and really can't afford tix. I thought about driving over there with my boys to see if I can maybe score some tix thru KROQ. I've gotten lucky at a few other shows.......they just had some "HAND-OUTS" in their Van at the venue and gave them away.............i could only hope to be sooo lucky tonight. we'll see..............

    I get another go at them tomorrow night at The Forum. I'm not sure how well they're going to impress me after the show at Madison Square Garden in NYC. That was a pretty fierce show and the triangle solo almost brought a tear to my eye. The first triangle sole EVER at MSG...talk about history making moments in music ;).

    Yes, it was as cheesy as it sounds...which is what made it so good!

    When did they become a better band then Pearl Jam. Hate to say it but based on their last album and the Skin and bones album/tour before that they may just have surpassed PJ. The fact that they don't sweat playing the Grammy's, doing press, and making videos is also refreshing.

    Am I alone here?

    They became a better band than PJ sometime around the year 3 million.

    Not much of a sense of humor there, eh?

    Apparently not if you couldn't see/feel/sense the jest in boasting about the most insipid and irrelevant music award around.

    look i understood the humor, and i understand ed talks about things all the time for 20 minutes, but i felt it just took away from the concert and it did not add to it. overall i enjoyed the concert. i just don't think foo is as good as PJ. their show seemed rehearsed, the solos and "rock offs" seemed rehearsed.

    dave grohl is still a genius.

    Foo Fighters don't care about Grammy's. They make fun of the Grammy's. Dave doesn't kiss his own ass for winning a Grammy. He makes fun of the fact they won one. Their last 2 CD's are not as good as the previous albums. Even though In Your Honor and ESG&P has a few good songs. Foo Fighters are bigger than Pearl Jam in the U.K. and could sell more seats than Pearl Jam in select U.S. Markets. The major U.S. majors Pearl Jam would have more demand. Foo Fighters are turning into a Pearl Jam type of band with a Triangularist, a keyboardists not as good as BOOM, and a violinist.

    i'm just saying overall, pearl jam are better performers and musicians.

    taylor hawkins is sick as shit though.

    He is such a cool guy too! He signed two of his drumsticks for my kids :)
    even put their names on them.

    My nephew (8 years old) climbed up on stage last year after a small gig Taylor played with one of his side bands and asked him for a drum stick and he just smiled and handed it to him :)

    what you have to admire about the foo fighters is they can make fun of themselves and at the same time, still make great music. Its a unique quality, that makes the music more enjoyable

    In the vein of fun and making fun, here's what a friend said about a Foo show he'd seen last week:

    "They were actually in Fayetteville, Arkansas on Friday. It was the best show I have ever been to in state. He is hilarious. They had to cancel the show in Jan. because he was sick. Dave gave the crowd much detail about the bug in his chest and ass that caused the cancellation. "You may think we are rock gods, but I get diarrhea just like the rest of you. I bet you thought those lazy cokeheads will never reschedule Arkansas!" Then they tore up a 2 hr. set. It was great.

    Note to other bands: try to look like you are having as much fun as these guys, and play a song and then play another song. They reminded me of U2 in this respect. Not too many breaks, you don't need a drink and a minute break after a 4 minute song. Keep the momentum and play another f ing song."

    There you go.

    I saw them recently and enjoyed it. Dave is very entertaining...but musically something was missing to me.

    There's a way I describe to my non-PJ fanatic friends what Alive or Evenflow is like at the Fleetcenter in Boston or the Gorge, etc...and that is "BIG".

    With the FF..nothing seemed "BIG" to me. Good yes, I'd go see them again in a heartbeat, but imo..the intensity isn't the same. There's just no Mike McCready....
