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.

    • Lovely Brexit doc on bbc2 for anyone who wants to relive those golden years.
    • I think some folks are underestimating how many millennials, now into heavier music, were genuinely also into things like techno and happy hardcore in the 90s and early 00s. Scooter may be about is commercialized as it gets when it comes to happy hardcore and techno, but for many, they won't be just a 'silly act' they will be a genuine nostalgia act. 
    • Can anyone share please as can’t access the app 
    • Someone said something along the lines of "the lows were really low but they highs were really high" and I think that sentence sums up my ps experience this year. Thursday was a downer (even though I got to see men I trust, geese, oklou and fcukers), but the weather, the missed shows and the uncertainty (those comms...) made it a bad day. Friday and Saturday on the other hand where rly good, a bunch of amazing shows each day (The Cure one was quite something), that surprise on Saturday...   Will be back next year, hope they get another impressive lineup as this year (quality and quantity wise) and that tickets and  primarily hotels don't get much more expensive.
    • Rosalia Radiohead NIN MGMT Bjork David Byrne   Also Vince Staples' new album is cool. I could see him returning.
