Foo Fighters discussion

[FloorFiller]

aye to a casual festival goer/Foos fan i suppose what they're playing in their sets now is ideal - just a shame to know that there almost definitely won't be any surprises in their Glasto set for the bigger fans

[cornish hick]

No one in the history of man kind ever enjoyed a slowed down version of a classic.

Sorry but I enjoyed the slowed down version of Ace of Spades in the lager ad ;p

[gizmoman]

I tell you what is saddening Bon Jovi reduced Livin on a prayer to acoustic, there was just no need!!!

Edit: actually what was even worse when they did cover of bloody Status Quo rocking all round over world that was truly shocking, least Foos pick decent covers!!

Rocking all over the world is a John Fogerty song. Quo covered it.

Saw them at Manchester the other week, they were good enough to warrant an hour of my time at Glastonbury. If the setlist is the same as it was for MCR and Sunderland, Then I shall be beating a hasty retreat to the glade for Alabama 3

apparently Dave has fallen off stage in Sweden and broken a leg. i guess that means a lot less running from side of stage to side of stage for him then

Oh dear

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Fortunately there's an act who should be headlining on just before them anyway, so no pressure Dave you can cancel if you want..

Or, of course, Ms Swift's free

he carried on? surely not broken?

[FloorFiller]

so, now that they're sadly not playing this year, do we think they'll be asked back to play next year? happened with U2 and i'd like to think they'd see it as unfinished business. whether it fits in to their schedule is another thing, but fingers crossed*

 

 

 

 

 

 

* i know Emily said that they already have all three headliners sorted for next year, but we're not gonna go and believe that for a second now, are we

We could finally get our 4th headliner!

 

Hope Davey-boy Grohl gets well soon though. I bet he's gutted that he's had to cancel.

[Ponyegg]

Neil McCormick from the Telegraph did an interview with Dave yesterday.

 

"I don’t think we understood the weight of headlining Glastonbury until they asked us. It’s more than just a festival, it’s an institution. To headline it is a landmark moment in a band’s career."

[Gucci Piggy]

On the plus side, if they're doing less festivals next year they may be playing some more interesting setlists (if they get asked back, which I think they will).

[LondonTom]

Well at least it sounds like they will want to be back next year or at some point in the future

 

It will go better than U2 I think regardless of weather

[GlastoSimon]

 

Supporting them tonight, Iggy Pop. 

 

Get him down to Worthy Farm, where he'll be appreciated. 

[Wherethewildthingsare]

On Saturday night Dave talked about the conspiracy theory that he never actually broke his leg. He said 'Glastonbury I was a little upset about, I wanted to do Glastonbury. You still got your wristband? Let it go, you know it smells like cow shit, let it go. Maybe next time...'

[Matt42]

Now an SR for next year

[FloorFiller]

Foo Fighters, Radiohead, Adele, NAILED ON!!!

 

edit: although i guess both Adele and Foos would be classed as 'new' so maybe not...

Eh, Foo Fighters can sort of count as returning since they were booked before. Whole thing's meaningless anyway.

 

Nailed on. 

[Matt42]

Foo Fighters, Adele and Radiohead would be a cool trio for me - a very strong trio for Glastonbury

It would be, but I doubt it will be. I'd guess Neil has heard Foos are a strong possibility.

Absolutely fantastic in Edinburgh last night, tremendous show

I hope they'll be back to play GF soon, that would be absolutely amazing on the pyramid

[FloorFiller]

i wouldn't complain about them being rebooked. even though them bailing this year resulted in me seeing my favourite set of the weekend (Hot Chip), i was still pretty gutted to not see them, and hopefully because of the circumstances of them having pulled out the previous year they'll play an extra special set (aka ditch the shitty covers section and replace it with songs from the first three albums... please)

Wouldn't want a sat down show myself though mind.

They haven't been doing a covers section recently, at least they didn't do it at MK. Just some snippets while introducing the band, and Under Pressure.

[Becks12]

 

I would do anything to hear Aurora live again, Good Grief, Generator, M.I.A. and Headwires too although i dont think they played 'Good Grief' too often anyway. its such a shame they seem to have consigned a lot of those great earlier album tracks to the history books or at the very least to one off intimate shows. It seems there is way too much emphasis on being a 'Stadium rock' band these days. Fair play as it has won them millions of fans and plaudits the world over, but from a purely selfish point of view... pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeease just play more of the first three albums!

 

They played Aurora on Saturday at MK at it was AMAZING!!! Well I loved it. Most folks around me didn't seem to know what was going on...

 

Really hope they play Glasto. And I get a ticket... They come out on my birthday, thats a good omen right?
