Foo Fighters

[Mouseboy11]

They were fake.

Oh yeah, forgot that to be honest. Still not entirely convinced they're doing Wembley shows although I guess it's likely.

[Superscally]

Feast and Famine from the new album is a great track. Better than Something from Nothing, which is still pretty good itself.

[the wonderwhy]

Dave Grohl's pronouncement (that they would be playing Wembley) was fake?

No, but the 'leaks' were.

[the wonderwhy]

With QOTSA on. Yup, was made by one of the R&L board posters

The Feast and the Famine is a joy

Something From Nothing has also grown on me

He didn't say that.

[Brave Sir Robin]

He didn't say that.

And anyone who can hang with Rush is ok by me!

Oh that's strange, the only quote that was posted on here after that gig was something along the lines of "It's nice to be playing intimate gigs like this, makes a change to the week at Wembley Stadium", which made it sound like he was talking about them playing Wembley in the past. Fair enough.

Anyway, Muse headlined the year they played two nights at Wembley, didn't they?

Is this the quote people are using for the week long Wembley residency?

"When we were asked to come over and play the Invictus Games on Sunday I thought 'we haven't played in the UK in years, and I thought we'd try to play gigs like this pretty much every night we're here until we have to go home. And it gives us a chance to see your faces before we play that week at Wembley Stadium."

If so, that says nothing of the sort, it's Grohl having a bit of a laugh. It's also very unlike the band to be blasé about a week long thing, they were terrified about the last Wembley gig not selling out, and then shocked by the second night, at least according to the interviews with the band for Back and Forth.

I really hope they play, loving the stuff from Sonic Highways so far, but I also didn't mind Wasting Light as much as some people seem to have.

[Gucci Piggy]

I thought most people saw Wasting Light as a huge return to form?

Yeah, I did at least. They hadn't made a good album in years before that.

[stevenolan]

Sorry, typo, I ment to type pre Wasting Light... It's too early on a Sunday.

[Bisque]

Foo Fighters, although have headlined a few fests recently would, would go down a treat & they'd bring extra visuals. Reading '06 was amazing with lazers!

I was down there for that...he couldn't have been more sarcastic when he said that if he tried. Edited October 26, 2014 by hurdy

From Wheels, certainly. I hated that song

On echoes, Let It Die was terrific

imo if a band is offered a headline spot and they don't bring lazers then they can fuck off. What's the point in even being there?

That's why Metallica and Massive Attack were incredible this year whereas Arcade Fire were a load of dung

Arcade Fire had just a reflektor

I saw/heard this last night on their new Sonic highways documentary. Is it normal in America to pronoune the word famine like salmon?

[jonodillieono]

Good point, it's a good thing they didn't have lazers because if they had a fuck load of them and aimed them at said reflektor I don't think Glastonbury would be on this year (or any other year) as Michael and Emily would know that there would be no topping that ever.

Just imagine Michael giving his annual 'best festival ever' speech when he knew deep down that it wasn't, I doubt the poor guy could live with himself blatenly lying to all his adoring fans like that

[bocumaroy]

Oh good, Arcade Fire are being discussed. I didn’t want to be really annoying and bring them up, but apparently Win and Regine might be on the New Orleans episode of this Sonic Highways series, with the Preservation Hall Jazz band. Because of this I caught the second half of the second Washington DC episode last night. I don’t like FF at all musically, but I found it really interesting and I’m looking forward to the rest.

[Bisque]

Just started watching the FF docu on iPlayer, originally on BBC4, that means Glastonbury surely...! & only episode one?

[Rosscoe]

I just watched (enjoyed) the fist ep of the foo doc. I'd be up for them headlining one night (& doing a secret acoustic set!).
