    There is a lot of shit that I don't like. I generally just avoid those threads. You instead came in just to say some inflammatory stuff. Not shocking that it sparked a debate.

    But come on, Nickelback? When did they ever write anything close to Everlong?

    No, I'm not shocked, and debate is good at any rate. But i actually came in here to ask about that video because of genuine curiosity, not to piss people off. Just because in don't like FF doesn't mean i shouldn't talk about them or be curious about them and their fans (especially since it's impossible to avoid them - theu seem everywhere, lol). I'm just not an avoider I guess. ;)

    Random mega bundle boxes were signed by the band.

    Not my box it seems, unless they decided to sign it in invisible ink! :D

    people are way too uptight on judging music and the "integrity" of the music. Lyrics don't need to be dark riddles or deeply veiled references to a number of things. Sometimes straight forward works just fine. The individual musicians in the Foos are top-notch. They are also deeply intertwined with "our" music history being direct descendants of Nirvana.

    The music makes me feel good. Some songs and albums bring me back to various stages of my life. The time I saw them live kicked ass and probably ranks in the top 3 acts Ive seen.

    There really isnt much good Arena Rock and Roll remaining. Embrace what we have.

    Decided against the Michigan show, thinking Wrigley will be more than enough for us, and we need to save money.

    I often think FF are today what Van Halen was in the late 70s early 80s.Lots of great rock radio cuts and smoking hot arena and stadium shows.

    Appreciate the awesome hospitality Nart. My kids are 23,21 and 19 all independent and we sure as hell try not to bring them with us on our Fun long weekends.None of them live at home Although my youngest is a big PJ and Foo fan and has come with us to a few shows.We stay Usually in the city at the Hilton Garden Inn north of Times Square by the Roseland and 3monkeys bar.I was born out on the Island and still have a lot of family in the city.My son played part of his college ball up there,so we would come up a few times a year.But he transferred to FSU 2 years ago,so now only to play.
    Now I can't let you get first round,that's on me pal.And if you come down to the tropics for a show or trip you let me know as we can also be gracious hosts.Peace BB

    Just got back from the show. Matt Cameron was at the bar. Only $20 for tickets at the Showbox. First, they played the "Seattle" episode of "Sonic Highways" which premiered tonight on HBO and then played for 3 hours. Dave, Pat and Taylor signed my CD after soundcheck and I also got a gig specific poster and t-shirt. Wish all gigs were like this. A good night.
