I don't hate the guy. He seems like a genuinely pleasant chap who's always happy to take the time to chat with the people who put him where he is today.

I do, however, think that his music is a prime example of mediocrity hailed as genius. FFs have roughly five or so unstoppable bangers and a slur of average tunes that seem to be parodies of said bangers. That's my view anyway.

yup, i know I started it. was never meant to be more than a "I like dave's drumming" comment though. I have a big hand in starting this whole Grohl thing in the first place by commenting on willutalk's bizarre rant about the brits giving Grohl a bad impression of britain. For that I can only apologise, although this thread has been considerably better for the "which is the best Beatles record" and "is Dave Grohl a turd" deviations.

My contribution was that in comparison to his frontmanship (is that even a thing?) his drumming really appealed to me. He might not be Neil Peart or Thomas Pridgen or Brann Dailor but his drumming is distinctive and full of personality. Records he drums on are rarely worse off as a result. Find it amusing that people want to turn this into a pissing contest about his stick skills. The guy can play the drums better than most.

    • We head out in the morning. Couple of nights in New York then up to Boston. Enjoy the games lads and hopefully we get some great football to take our minds off the whole shitshow off the pitch.
    • White Stripes/QotSA at Harewood 2007, Tramlines (and Blue Dot, same weekend) in '23, and Elbow at Jodrell Bank '13. 
    • Yeah exactly, the shock moments, group layouts, etc all end up playing out differently once you get into the tournament. However you tweak it, you don't predict shocks.
