Now that's funny.... Pop not Rock. Agree with rest of bands

Dont mean to derail OP's thread.

I do mean to derail the thread. The Beatles are absolutely a rock band. There's no 2 ways about it. The reason alot of people say they're not is b/c of how much they revolutionized it.[/quote]

They did change the course of music, but to say they are a "rock" band- No Way

I guess everyone has their own opinion.

Foos are great and last nights performace of rope and walk were awesome. Lots of energy- must be awesome live.

for the record, ive heard all foo albums and ive seen them live. i dont dislike their music that much. i feel like its loud pop and they have some great songs. However, their albums dont have much flow and id label them as a cooler nickelback. its mainly grohl that i am taking to task here. ive heard him interviewed, etc, etc.

id be a fool to question his musical talent. my FAVORITE PJ version of RITFW (95 i believe?) is from australia when hes on drums. I just think the guys a dork, a hypocrite, cheezy, and fake. most of those attributes were on display last night. its so funny that i cant have an opinion on here. i now know what the PJ dissenters feel like. i still havent heard anyone defend how grohl has repeatedly ripped on manufactured music (i havent even heard PJ bother w this topic) yet he performed w a friggin mouse DJ last night. i think i have a leg to stand on here. my kurt comment was strong and im sorry if i offended anyone. my point was a simple one in that id rather be someone who was true to what they believed than a fake. i think dave would be a great politician. lets put it that way. how hard is that to understand?

we got it. od-ing on heroin in front of your 1 year old is real, and being in a famous rock band is fake.

A really irritating thread.

Foo Fighters are an excellent band. Dave Grohl is the epitome of a rock star. I'm not going to knock other bands to make my point, but look at the respect he has from his peers and that should tell all you arm chair musicians how great he is.

Nope, they don't write dark lyrics such as Pink Floyd or politically profound and angry lyrics such as Rage Against the Machine... but they write ear pleasing , loud and proud rhythyms that give me great pleasure when I feel like rocking it.

Excellent band. Excellent. End of story. Nice try though.

You're wrong. What they were playing early in their career...that's what was considered rock. Dunno how anybody could listen to Revolver-Let It Be and say the Beatles are anything but a rock band. There's a few transitional albums in the middle where i could see it getting a bit murky, but throughout the bands career the music they were playing was deeply rooted in early rock and roll.

The first line from their wiki entry...."The Beatles were an English rock band"

It's like saying the Rolling Stones aren't a rock band.

That statement, even as a joke or to make a point, should never be uttered.

Music is obviously subjective but there are some things that just can't be argued.

Well the Rolling Stones sounded exactly like The Beatles when the Beatles were together so that's my point. Saying one isn't a Rock and roll Band is saying the other isn't.

And saying either of them aren't rock and roll bands is just lunacy.

That's funny because I have been into the blues a ton lately and it's so cool to discover the early roots of rock and roll...

There wouldn't be Rock and Roll without the Blues. Just ask, Chuck Berry, Little Richard and Led Zeppelin.

i watched their documentary last week....it really was Dave and a hired band. the first album was 100% him....then they were doing anouther album...and dave was playing everything. i don't view them as a band that works together like PJ...i see them as Dave and a his hired band.

That's laughable since PJ has had 5 drummers and at times have almost broke up as well.

Foo Fighters are a joke
