no thread for them?

RUDE
show them some love.

Now this is my favorite band, since 1997, thanks to their best record THE COLOUR AND THE SHAPE, then they came up with their second best THERE IS NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE. In between those releases I went back to their first selftitled album.

After that they went completely mediocre with "One By One" and tried to save theirselves with "In Your Honor" (2 discs(1rock/1acoustic)) nice concept. But the rock lacked. HOWEVER, all of their b-sides have A LOT to say: They have sappy poppy/rocky songs, hardcore songs, you name it.

I just fell for them back then and fully support them. They are one of the best performances in the world, yet I still haven't got the chance to see them live. Hopefully I'll do it this tour.

And let me whore them out a bit. NEW ALBUM "Echoes Silence Patience & Grace" out next Tuesday in the Americas. Monday elsewhere I believe.

So, thoughts on them? On their last powersingle "The Pretender"?

ps- Shoot! I just went through my words and sound like a street teamer. I'm not! haha

does street teamer mean "crazy stalker"?

foomex · 18-09-2007, 18:47

ya throwin sarcasm?
Street Teamer are a**holes signing up in boards just to say "hi thought you wanted to check "x" band. do it at myspace/shittyband"

OR, if you actually are being sarcastic, I don't find anything "stalker-ish" in admiring a band. Yes I'm a fan. only a fan, there are levels on fans.

They're pretty easy to listen to. My favourite tracks are virginia moon, aurora, disenchanted lullaby, best of you, everlong and breakout.

Anxious · 18-09-2007, 18:50

Don't worry, the tone is generally sarcastic in the forum. Just take it with a pinch of this:

mike_m · 19-09-2007, 05:17

I love the Foo Fighters too - no need to throw a wobbly.

no offense meant, you just sounded a bit manic

weldo · 19-09-2007, 05:37

yeah - and those of us in the know have already got the new album. thanks.

(haven't listened to it yet tho')

chill out, boy.

there is nothing left to lose is not just their most mediocre album, it could be in a top 100 list.

One by one was really pretty good. in your honor made me lose interest in them, so for that reason, i hate it.

Colour and the shape is ace, a fully well rounded classic rock album. the most overlooked though is the first album. it's really good, very clever, X-static is great. the whole album is full of riffs.

Redemption · 02-10-2007, 21:12

I'm loving their new song "The Pretender". Listen to it almost every day.

iblastoff · 04-10-2007, 22:40

i'm glad dave grohl is shining in the spotlight. everlong is better than any nirvana song.

Mandy Moo · 05-10-2007, 08:06

I did use to like them but for some reason, I just can't bloody stand them anymore. I've seen them live a few times & I had all their albums (apart from In your honors) which I gave away to charity. The same with Red Hot Chilli Peppers.

Two bands I used to love which I can't stand anymore. What's happening to me?

I like Dave Grohl and all but you definitely can't compare the Foos with Nirvana.

weldo · 05-10-2007, 09:02

i think Foos are better than Nirvana.

I'm afraid Nirvana are only as 'legendary' as they are due to the old rock'n'roll winner - a premature death ...

there. i said it.

don't get me wrong, as nirvana is/was one of my favourite bands. but dave grohl is definitely a better songwriter than kurt cobain ever was.

Foo Fighters are shit. Nirvana were overrated.
