Anyone else love the Foo Fighters???
Oh man, I'd love to be alone with Dave for awhile. :D

The music is awesome and I love their new song. Can't wait for the CD!

5. It's good
I've only given it one listen so far, so I don't have a solid opinion, but I enjoyed it.

7. Not as much as Nivana
I've got One by One though which I love.

:hi: Hope you're OK Blondie, haven't spoken for a while.

8. Hey there!
:hug: Good to see ya! Life's good, just stressful. Other than a bad eye thingy, I can't complain. Hope the same for you!

I like Nirvana, but I guess I'm more partial to the Foo because they're more my generation. I wasn't a teen when Nirvana first came out, I didn't learn to appreciate them until later. But yes, One By One is AWESOME! :D

21. The generation gap
I was at Uni so they were one of the bands that were seminal in my life.

9. Much more than i ever did Nirvana...
Kurt Cobain was an overrated one trick pony. Dave Grohl has proven himself not on a better songwriter who can write in a bunch of different styles, but a more interesting lyricist as well. Nirvana was little more than a well marketed, right place/right time band who rarely ventured past the quiet verse, loud chorus thing which was already well worn territory to anyone who had been paying attention, by the time they came out and hit it big. Dave Grohl can write something super pop like Big Me, or contemplative and indie rockish like Everlong or even any number of straight ahead hard rock tunes. And most importanly he seems fairly unpretentious and is just having a damn good time playing music and being a rock star.

11. Good post.
You're definitely right about Dave's songwriting ability. I'd even say "Everlong" as compared to "Learn to Fly" (great song, but written for the pop audience). He's an awesome lyricist and I think the band appeals to a much larger audience than say, Nirvana. Most of their fan base is into the grunge/hard rock scene, which is fine, but you're not going to get a larger audience from that type of music.

But we can't forget Taylor. The man's awesome as well!

20. No kidding!
All the videos are pretty much the same theme these days. Either women with no clothes on shaking their asses on guys or something to that effect. :eyes:
