I would love to see Foo Fighters at Glastonbury, even though Download has the metal market, I'm sure there is room for some more "rock" type acts.

I wonder though if Dave Grohl and co were to headline a british festival they would prefer Download or Reading?

Saw them at Reading three times (2000, 2002 & 2005) and they were fantastic everytime.

Maybe worth a Saturday night headline on either the Pyramid or Other stages?

Well, Bleach was quite good.

Mind, I always preferred Soundgarden. Or Temple of the Dog.

Nirvana were at least interesting. Pushing the envelope a bit. A complete change to the LA scene dominated rock of the late 80s.

The Foos just seem incredibly bland by comparison. I really don't get the adoration. Seem like a million stadium rock type bands lost in the anals of history.

I remember having a chat with a friend of mine, who was saying something similar.. like "yea, but they're not exactly Nirvana, are they?", to which I replied "the bottom line for me is how often I play their cd's, and for now I'm playing the Foo Fighters a lot more"...this was around the time of their second album.

Their sets have got longer, but the number of songs seems to get less, as they stretch and stretch their songs to a stupifying length. Play a riff, play it over and over, play it very quietly for a bit then get louder and louder, and yell with all your might at the same time..... what happened to the songs? You're not Led Zeppelin Dave, accept it! :P

I'm with Sifi on this one. Do not understand the foos hype. Grohl is a fantastic drummer. But I reckon if they didn't have the "Look! He was in Nirvana!!" factor and were just some bunch of kids they wouldn't have got signed based on their music at all. Bland.

for three albums, Foo Fighters were brilliant

Foo Fighters, The Colour And The Shape and There's Nothing Left To Lose are all consitently great albums (albeit in very different ways - Foo Fighters was pretty grungey and lo-fi, The Colour And The Shape was just plain hard rock and There's Nothing Left To Lose was just jam packed with so many incredible choruses)

but then came One By One and it's been all downhill from there, and there last few albums have been incredibly boring and going-through-the-motions

i hope this break they've taken has done them good (as even their live shows were incredibly formulaic and boring by the end of the last tour). and Dave has said the new album is the heaviest they've ever done, which could go either way really

a big no no for Glastonbury though. i think they'll definitely be at Leeds/Reading next year, or possibly Download (surprised they haven't done that already tbh)

    • So, that Survation poll...Reform have replaced the Tories as the main right party, and Restore are where Reform used to be as the fringe extreme right party gaining support. Grim. What happened to one nation liberal tories?
