    Josh Freese will be the touring drummer for the Foos.
    Is this a prediction or a fact? 
    That is what Dave Grohl himself told a good friend of mine who knows him well.

    Sounds a bit like the attendance scene in Ferris Beuller.

    That's great.

    "As a studio drummer, he’s played on over 400 albums." :o

    Was just thinking how insane it would be to be the drummer for the Foo Fighters and it is only the third best band you played for.
    Depends on how you define or measure "best." I bet more people out there would consider FF better than SG. I would disagree, but I think we're in the minority on that.
    But yes, I see your point. Fortunate to be a part of so many great bands, regardless of the order.

    The funny thing was in my head Matt was the drummer for two RRHOF bands (Soundgarden and Pearl Jam) and would potentially be a touring drummer for a borderline RRHOF band. Sure enough I looked it up and actually Foo Fighters are in the HOF but Soundgarden only nominated but not inducted as of yet. 

    Not that RRHOF is the ultimate arbiter of anything but just reinforcing the excellent point you also are making.

    I never liked or bought into the MC -> FF rumor either.

    If Missy Elliot makes it in this year and Iron Maiden doesn't, then they MUST change the name to Music Hall of Fame.

    I don't mind if she makes it in at some point. But I think it's too early for her. When MC Lyte, Queen Latifah, or Salt n Pepa should have gotten in first. And LL should have been voted in and not gotten in the way Nile Rodgers got in. Both of them deserved the votes.

    Soundgarden was never as big as PJ or Nirvana.  They're a great band, but at same time I was watching PJ play nhl.nba areans, I was watching soundgarden plan small jr. hockey arena's.   I think they're going to be a little more like other mid size rock bands where it takes them a bit before they get inducted.

    Yes I agree FF music to me is just more pop oriented or radio friendly what ever title fits but to me it’s not even close just having CC up front is enough for me Dave’s voice is ok at best but perfect for the FF sound!

    Foo Fighters are awesome and fun to see live... but Soundgarden was on a whole other level w/ their songwriting.

    I like some Foos songs but (my opinion) the SG catalog is far superior. The Badmotorfinger/Superunknown/Down on the Upside run was amazing.

    Plus they won two grammys

    For my money there's no debate between the two.

    SG >>> Foo.

    Yeah. I love the Foos. But they're one band I won't do multiple shows for because you're getting the same exact show all tour.

    This. 
    I LOVE Dave and The Foos. I feel like it didn’t always used to be like that with them. It’s pretty lame it’s word for word the same every night. They have such a great catalog of music to pull from and he’s genuinely a funny dude, I don’t get the need for a script like that. Legit almost ruins it for me. My buddy and I left early when we saw them back to back nights a few tours back

    I mean that's more the normal (Same sets every night).  Bands that do something different every night is fairly rare :(   It's why when I go to see many bands I'm ok dipping in and out every couple of tours, opposed to a few times on a single tour.
