Foos were fun when I saw them live in 2007. They have far too much filler on their albums and get a bit too cock rockish lyrically for me to really get into them like I do with Pearl Jam etc. I think Grohl is a bit too whacky sometimes, it's fine to be funny but you've got to be serious too. I think Eddie live right now is the perfect mix, will perform songs seriously with some smiles too, crack some jokes, tell some serious stories in between songs.
"you've got to be serious too"? who is anyone to tell anyone else that they need to be serious? :?

He can't write a song for shit either. Corporate rock slop. Foo Fighters are the new Styx.
Can't write for shit?????
Now you are being a total ass.
First 2 albums are amazing!
They have classic songs... Everlong, My Hero, Hey Johnnie Park, Enough Space, Wattershed, Weenie Beenie plus Generator off #3 is brilliant!

Yeah no doubt.... Dave Grohl seems like a pretty cool mfer
I'm not necessarily keen on humor makin it's way into music that's not generally meant to be funny. Maybe I could understand that, but hatin on a guy for jokin too much is ridiculous.
I was front row at the TCV show, and at one point Dave and I were making faces at eachother...
He started it.
Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V
I wish I saw them a couple years back, their shows look like a lot of fun. I'll agree Dave can't sing but I've always loved a few of their earlier songs. As for TCV, I honestly haven't given them a fair listen yet... :oops:

he is, i met him years ago in a 7-11 when i lived in northern virginia. we talked for a few minutes, it seemed like he didn't really have an ego like some musicians
don't compete; coexist
what are you but my reflection? who am i to judge or strike you down?

I remember hearing This is a Call on the radio back in 1995 and thinking the singer had one of the coolest sounding voices I've heard... and then I found out it was Dave Grohl. I doubt Grohl would have been given a chance to flourish if he had not been Nirvana's drummer, but that's an indictment of the music industry, not Grohl. Although the quirky and raw sound of the first FF record still sounds the best to me, I love everything he's done (except for that cheesy Wheels song) and he's funnier than most comedians too. And he's made some truly beautiful music... like Aurora from the 3 disc, and many other tracks throughout the years.
"dave grohl cant sing for shit" hahahahahahahahahaha that's just ridiculous
ahahahaha i love Sunday morning wake & bakes and reading insane opinions.
