Foo Fighters

Do the Foo Fighters have a thread on here for discussion? Does nobody care? Seems a bit strange that this one only has 5 pages, even Ed has 9 or so. Radiohead must be up to 3,000 pages by now.

I'd watch the Foo Fighters, know a lot of their stuff from radio etc & reckon they's put on a great greatest hits set.

Depends what else is on at the time

just red the Ed Sheeran thread, it's 9 pages of hate - Grohl's fairing better

What is there to say that hasn't already been said?

There's just not really much conversation you can have about them

I don't mind Foo Fighters and I'll probably end up watching them with my mates if there's nothing too spectacular on against them, but really what is there to say? They'll play for ages, Dave will run around like a nutter, say fuck a lot and they'll play all the hits. 

Radiohead are a much more interesting headliner in terms of their actual performance. Way more variables. The only variable with FF is whether or not Dave will break his leg again.

It's probably right that there's just not much you can say other than they'll probably play a greatest hits set, might possibly bring on a special guest or two and you either fancy watching them or don't. 

The Radiohead thread will go into 7 pages of discussion over whether they prefer the version of Unicorn Spaceman's Alphabet where Johnny plays E minor 7th instead of E minor.

E minor 7th obviously. And I'll fight anyone who disagrees.

I think closer to the time when they have played some festival dates the discussion around the setlists might happen but that's about it tbh

I can't wait to see them as looking forward to losing my voice singing along (badly) to their hits :D

'According to Dave Grohl, the song is dedicated to ordinary, everyday heroes, as he himself never had musical or sports heroes growing up as a child.[1] During Foo Fighters' appearance on VH1 Storytellers in 2009, Dave Grohl explained that the song was written while watching 1980s movies like Valley Girl. Grohl also stated that the song was written about Pete Stahl and Chip Donaldson, without even knowing it."

Thats genuinely hilarious

This will be my fifth time seeing them at a festival (assuming I do watch them, which is highly likely, although it wouldn't necessarily be my choice) and the first in which I've seen them headline. I've quite enjoyed them in the past, indeed would say they blew Oasis away at Cardiff in 2005. Best one was Phoenix in 1996, fourth down on a bill that included Beck, Flaming Lips, Manics and headlined by NY & Crazy Horse. Not sure it'll be the same for me watching them top the bill though.

 I myself never had a musical or sports   hero as a child.

Shaun Goater was my hero.

    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
