Foofighters....

[Guest]

Definitly releasing a new album in 2014, returning to life on the road, `2014 is going to be a big year`.....wonder if that includes a glasto appearence? http://www.nme.com/news/foo-fighters/73544

If they do I only hope they play more stuff from there is nothing left to lose era backwards, always been a fan of the band but not so much of the last couple of albums. The colour and the shape is still on my list of top 20 albums ever

A desperately dull band. Thankfully the festival organisers agree.

The more I see a thread with Foo Fighters on, the more nervous I get they'll bleedin' show up!!!

As much as I lobve the Foos is there really need for yet another 'Surely the Foos are going to headline in 2014?' thread?

Well, crazypenguin asked Russy what he *does* like - seems like an opportunity to switch this into a Nick Cave thread. Or a Radiohead one.

I'm looking for a brief assesment of Dave Grohl's character. Can anyone oblige?

[Ed209]

A smug w*nker who's one of the nicest guys in rock who pisses all over Kurt's memory and always remains respectful of his history and is held in the up most respect by his peers who all think he's a massive nob.

[JamesT977]

I like the Foo Fighters but have it in good source that even Kurt Cobain thought he was a massive nob.

[russycarps]

you forgot the appearance on the muppet show

made loads of the kids cry backstage too, so I hear

[rachbon]

I used to really like them, they're a good live act and they have some great songs but their recent stuff all sounds the same to me, boring shite that I can't be bothered listening to. I'm not sure how popular they'd be at Glasto.

Russy. Or Wayne Coyne. Or Courtney Love. All reliable.

Further to this I think they're a great live act who put a whole lot into their shows. I've probably been told by Dave Grohl that I'm "the best audience we've ever played to" more times then I care to remember but I believe it every time despite it being cheesy showman bull. The new songs are fine, I LOVE a lot of the older ones, It'd be great for me and my buddies.

Now it's your turn to tell me how rubbish they are. That is how this works right?

[Tr234]

From what I've seen of the Foo Fighters live on TV at festivals, I don't think they'd be too boring. To be honest I'd say they'd be less boring than an older band such as Fleetwood Mac, but that is coming from someone who is a Foo Fighters fan.

[hoils]

They play their brand of guitar rock ever so proficiently.

[DL50]

How the hell do people think Foo Fighters are dull??

Dave Grohl is one of the best front men in the business. They put so much into their shows, fair enough if you don't like them but they are certainly not boring

People think they are dull because they don't push boundaries. Don't forget all song and bands need to be different to everything that has gone before.,,,

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

They've just played every single major festival at least once in the last ten years, the sets have invariably been televised, and as such, like a lot of acts these days they have become over-exposed.

I think 'boring' is the wrong word to describe them. They aren't boring live, but people are bored of them.
