    Dave finally let's us know. Surprised they actually already rescheduled dates for some of them, I mean I hope to holy hell this is all over by then but who knows where we'll be.
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me

    Found this in a box at home.  It is a shirt from the first ever FF tour back in 1996!
    What else was in that box...
    EV signed bootleg cd from 2000!
    Nice to have...Picture? 
    I met him once but Big Pete instructed us not to ask him to sign anything. I'm pretty sure someone asked Ed to sign a live at the Orpheum lp and BP took it...
    always listen to the man. Maybe next time.

    Nice!

    LOL, that reminds me of when I met Chris Cornell once. Before we went in the dressing room, his bodyguard said one signed item per person. He said that Chris will sign anything we give him with no limits, but he (his bodyguard) is not afraid to come over and take it right out of Chris' hands. Needless to say, both my +1 and I only gave him one item apiece to sign.
    Great story.smart move..cool spot to be in^^^.......sorry to derail thread. Back to FF.

    That is now concert wide.   I think the industry is struggling right now, because they've never experienced everything getting cancelled/postponed at the same time.

    Dave has been posting some cool stories on Instagram recently. They’re worth checking out to pass some isolation time.
    This is the latest one:














    “Do not postpone happiness”
    (Jeff Tweedy, Sydney 2007)

    “Put yer good money on the sunrise”
    (Tim Rogers)

    Pretty sure I was at the Prince show that Dave was supposed to play with him, or maybe off by one night. Prince ended up doing "Whole Lotta Love" with Nikka Costa at the show I attended. Would have been amazing to see Dave play drums with him.
    Later on that year when Foo Fighters played the Forum, Dave told part of this story and also how Prince would sometimes bring the lights all the way down, I believe as a way so people could let loose a little more. Dave had them bring the lights down to nearly pitch dark in the middle of "Monkeywrench" after he told the story in tribute to Prince.

    I wonder when we will get info on the FF's new album.  Pretty sure he's said multiple times over the past several months that it's been finished.  Surprised we haven't at least gotten an album name or teaser.  Figured with the tour that was supposed to happen they would be playing some new tunes

    I read something totally unofficial (at least from what I could see) that the album was coming out in May, so maybe we'll hear something soon.  It's not like bands aren't releasing new music now (;although some are moving the release date).  Still, a little surprised we haven't heard a single.

    I wonder if bands (or labels) are contemplating holding off.  As we saw with gigaton, the sales seemed a bit low (even by modern numbers).   Presumably those of us who purchase copies online were find, but given the virus, it was pretty hard for most people to walk into a record shop and buy one.   Maybe they'll wait to release it until things calm down.   It's a luxury they can afford since they never announce the released date.

    Maybe they wanted to tie the new album's release into their big anniversary bash this summer, so they might hold off? Pure speculation, of course.

    I was just listening to The Pretender, with bluetooth, noise-canceling headphones. Let me tell you! That is an experience. You hear the song differently when you hear certain parts with the headphones. The 'keep you in the dark you know they all pretend' right after the bridge, the way you hear it with headphones! And, no, The Pretender isn't my favorite Foo Fighters' song. I'm not that basic. My favorite Foo Fighters song is probably...La Dee Da or All My Life
