    I saw the Foo Fighters on March 20 of this year and I thought it was an unbelievable show. Dave Grohl is an awesome frontman and they sounded fantastic together. I loved the show, I thought it was great!

    I saw the Foos this year for the first time and was underwhelmed. It was a pretty good show, just not as good as I expected. The acoustic set lasted way too long. I did think Dave was a good frontman/showman. But...I don't have a problem with a frontman being in a good mood :eek:
  • Maybe it's veering from the topic a little but I thought System of a Down's 'Toxicity' album was pretty brilliant.

    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?

    Well leave it to mister maturity to start spouting off his bullshit and namecalling.

    Serj is a cool guy. Stands for many causes and backs his statements up. If you don't agree with his politics, thats one thing.

    He is ignorant? Of what, exactly?

    Just because his music is different, doesn't mean its bad either. You're probably not a fan of Mr. Bungle which contains one of the most ingenious and immitated vocalists ever. But its "weird" and "different" so it must be garbage, right?

    When you start trying to sound cool before you make a statement its hard to listen, and give you any credibility. Because why would you even give an idiot like me a chance. Iy you really thought that.

    I walked out of a Sting show a few years ago for some of the same reasons...Basically, SOOOO 'staged' and even had singing and dancing girls...I thought I was in Vegas!! The only reason I went in the first place was Johnny Lang was the opener....and TOTALLY blew the Sting Dinner Show off the fucking stage!

  • Alot of opinions I respect in here.
    My conclusion on this topic will rest on these points.

    1 Serg and even Dave have been acused of talking too much, making quotes people do not understand, and being off color.

    ( there is a war going on tons of international problems, and too much hate in this world let alone in this post, musicians have been the voice of our youth basically since the beggining of rock. Just These last couple of years has our youth ignored it and made fun of them. Ed also talks too much, but usually good causes.

    2 The foos have decent listenable music and the people in here that actually apprecite the rock genre accept them for what they are.

    (The ones who tend to know what they like and listen to what they like which is totally acceptable,tend to have differant views, nor the time to fill in the wholes because we need more rock, I for 1 do that with movies.

    3 Glam rock which I am going out on a limb and describing, because nobody else will (which led us to way too much speculation and arguing) which leesons credibility when you bitch and do not back it up, sorry, we could have comppared solos?

    Glam rock { musicians who used appearance over band substance and songwriting } the problem with this is glam bands usually had great guitar players and shittty bands. Slash, Eddie Van Halen, Bon Jovi, Ozzy, Kiss, some even accused aic as being glam metal during dirt, becasue of the makeup jerry used to wear in the videos. I disagree with aic.

    4 Its hard for me to take shots at the bands above and than bands like Creed, Bon Jovi, Korn, Metalica, and Aerosmith you name it bands who do not change their set and play straight to the catalogue, and than when asked on why I see Pearl Jam so much, my answers are they change their set list, and chord selections, and make songs longer with jams every night. Than turn around and rip The Foo Fighters for adding jams and solos.

    Its Hypicrital, especially when a simple I dont like the band works.
    When a band puts on a show or adds somketing to their music it shows creativity, its entertainment.

    5 There are still people on this measage board who just try to be humorous and take shots at people to prove their point. We are all here for the same reason, fans of Pearl Jam. I wouldnt call someoen a piece of shit, idiot, moron in 1 post and than boast in another about meeting people from the board on this tour becasue I love the fans.
    Peace
    P.S Everyone in this band except Ed has stated that they loved these glam bands and have incorpated their styles along with grohl and most other seattle musicians.
    Some people have religion I have Pearl Jam.
