I dunno I always found their sound very generic, grohl need to just stick to drumming

[r00]

I can see that too.  There are a handful of singles I like, but even those aren't anything I would classify as awesome.

I agree with both of you. I was never a very big Foo Fighters fan to begin with, but when I think back to any of their hits or singles or albums I never go, "Oh man, I would die if I never got to hear that again!" I just don't feel they ever did anything particularly memorable or interesting. I love Grohl as a drummer, though, and he seems like a genuinely nice, cool guy... it's just the Foo Fighters as a musical act that disinterests me.

and who says the big 3 record labels are no longer greedy, exploitative, pimping motherfuckers?   

After Whitney Houston died, Sony Music jacked up the price of her greatest hits set on iTunes by over 60%.

hahaha  god it's so blatant, it's funny.

Foo Fighters...have basically become Nickelback with a cool front man.

this is very true.

[threatsicle]

So I was catching up with news bits this morning and watched the clip of Foo Fighters playing the Grammy's last night.  I swear to god they have basically become Nickelback with a cool front man.  They had some good songs through their career, but now it just seems like middle-of-the-road rock.  So generic and it makes me sad. 8(

I love that he did his anti-computer music rant right before his mash with deadmau5, lawlz

And I also love how deadmau5 completely trolled Sonny by wearing a shirt that had his phone number on it -- and tweeted it to his 900,000 followers, LOL

I also loved (not) how he called Butch Vig the best producer of all time.  That was a pretty dick move to the other producer who gave them their big break (and IMO their best album).

ROFL.  I did not see this or hear about it.  Time to go look up the youtube video!

I am loving deadmau5's new LED screen mouse helmet.  Too fucking cool.

[kristin]

deadmau5 rules.

Yeah I don't get the people who are saying the latest Foos record is their best.  I think they peaked with One By One.  Plus I do not get that whole cutting up the master tape business, it struck me as very gimmick-y although JG's friend Charlie disagreed with me - he helped Dave build that studio, apparently.

Well, my inside track gave me the hookup once again: release date, label, song titles, details...for two whole days, lol.  Then Crazy Fangirl found the listing for Trevor's new album on the Varese Sarabande website.  I don't get why they put it up because you can't even pre-order it yet; but once again any attempt at an actual Official Annoucement has been ruined by that stupid bitch.  I seriously want to risk personal injury and punch her in the face.

They ARE Nickelback!  I don't understand how people didn't notice the drastic change in sound and style from their first album even to The Colour and The Shape.   Dave has had his fingers in many many different pies and seems to know more about how to change his music to sell in the current climate than he cares to put out the kind of music the Foo's were originally known (and got signed) for.  After album #1 they flew into the mainstream and just degrade with each album.  Hell they're pop rock.

I would imagine that would have a lot to do with the Sub Pop days with Nirvana than anything to do with the Foos no?

Forget the helmet, that holo-console he has is amazing!

And?  Welcome to the world of shoddy journalism.

Davy Jones has passed away. 

[rokken like dokken]

I heard!  I don't care what anyone says, if Frank Zappa was on your show you were probably pretty awesome. 

On a completely different note, has anyone ever traveled by freighter?
