So the show starts in about 90 minutes. If the show is like the first 2/3rds of Sound City Music, it should be interesting. I have HBO Go, but haven't tried to watch anything live with it yet. Does anyone know how long it takes before I can watch it on that?

"We don't have much time left, so gently caress that encore poo poo. Let's just keep playing, how 'bout that?" And now he's chanting "gently caress. THAT. CLOCK." along with the audience. Oh Dave Grohl

Just watched the first episode of the episode show and drat if they're not going to have a hard time topping that. Naked Raygun. Albini. Cheap Trick. loving blues history with Buddy Guy and Muddy Waters. I want a show a about the history of just music in Chicago. For a place so racially/economically segregated, the sounds that have come out of that city have been nothing short of magic and Grohl and co. captured that perfectly in the first episode.

The part at the end of Hey, Johnny Park! where there's a big drum fill, and Dave starts shouting, "Now that I found my reward, I'll throw it away long before" was always one of my favorite moments of Colour And The Shape.

Somebody needs to make a documentary just about Steve Albini. I mean, when I first heard Big Black I was like  in a good way, but hearing him talk about the studio and the tantalizing tidbits about poker were super interesting.Also I learned that I don't respect Cheap Trick nearly as much as I should.

The Foo Fighters really do put on a great show and they are my favorite band I saw them as part of the DeLuna music festival in Pensacola in 2012, literally 100 feet from the Gulf of Mexico and they were really impressive. A ton of energy and Dave is great on stage and with the crowd. Also, at one point the speakers went out and half the crowd just kept singing the song while the other half kind of booed or groaned. The band couldn't tell, so they kept playing for a bit and then when they realized it, they went into that sort of holding pattern they do in the middle of songs. When the speakers came back on Dave was like 'Did we just rock so loving hard we broke poo poo?' and then they went on to finish the song. It was pretty awesome. During the encore they played Dear Rosemary and Tom Petty's Breakdown with Bob Mould and then sang Happy Birthday to Joan Jett before playing Bad Reputation. Pearl Jam (my second favorite band) closed the night before and I felt like the Foo Fighters blew them out of the water. The Zac Brown Band closed on Sunday, but I really felt like the Foos were the highlight of the festival.

Inspector_666 posted:For me it's "Times Like These" which I would also say is one of their best tracks period. I don't know if it was because I heard the song all the time on every music station in town, or a lot of TV shows or movies might've used it, but I think the song was played so much that it killed what enjoyment I did get out of it. I think it is a bit unfortunate how the Foos seem to shun One by One nowadays because I really do enjoy a number of tracks on it. I don't think it was revolutionary. It was just a good rock record, maybe a bit too produced but I like most of the tracks on there, particularly Low and Tired. The Foos also do some excellent cover songs. My favorites are Darling Nikki and Danny Says.

I can't wait until the new album drops in just a few weeks, it's going to be a stellar listen. I'd also like to echo the love for Hey, Johnny Park! That was easily one my favorite songs off that album, but for me my favorite Foo Album might just be "There Is Nothing Left To Lose". It was the first album I ever got and I listened to it non-stop as a teenager. Even now, I just keep coming back to it because I love the energy of "Stacked Actors" and "Breakout", but my favorite all-time Foo Song is on this album "Generator". It's probably an odd way of looking at it but I almost feel like "Generator" is a different take on the themes of "Everlong". In "Generator" the chorus sings "I'm the Generator, firing whenever you quit/ Yeah whatever it is, you go out and it's on/ Yeah can't you hear my motored heart/ You're the one that started it/" and I just love the imagery of something that has broken down becoming reinvigorated. The progression of the song is also one of my favorites and the drums, as with all Foo songs, just warmly resonates. I just love "Generator" because it feels like a love song for people that need a kick-start. A love song for people that aren't sure they can love, but you have your generator and they make everything better.

Same here, dude. That poo poo was golden. Then the heavier version of the chorus riff kicks in and it's like  That minute and a half or so is my favorite part of their entire catalog to date, just a notch or two above the part in New Way Home where the tempo gradually gets faster and faster. (Soundgarden did that once to great effect as well, in "Gun") I'm not scared... Fenrir fucked around with this message at 02:52 on Oct 23, 2014 |

As a person born in 1982, Nirvana was my introduction into music that was not weird al yankovic. I honestly don't know why, but I never listened to much Foo Fighters. I mean, I knew the singles, I even saw them once in the late 90s and liked it a lot, but just never got into them. What the gently caress was I thinking? C&S is so good I'm absolutely stupefied that I've never really listened to it before. I'm constantly saying stuff to my 12 year old like "man, I wish I could go back and listen to that nirvana unplugged concert for the first time again," or whatever... but with FF I'm pretty sure I get to actually live that fantasy.

They announced yesterday a surprise show at The Black Cat in DC, which holds probably around 700 people or so. Tickets were in person, cash only, $20 each. The venue tweeted three hours before tickets went on sale "If you're not in line by now, don't bother."

I'm several years older than you but I made the grave mistake of never seeing the Foos live. I even had the chance several times but never did it, so I envy you. Not sure how that's supposed to replace Nirvana, though. I'm not a huge Nirvana fan (I think even Foo Fighters, who also aren't anywhere near my favorite band, are a lot better than Nirvana), and that said I still don't think Foo Fighters could ever replace what Nirvana was. It's just a completely different thing. Then again, I actually DID see Nirvana live and it kinda sucked. Maybe that soured me on the band when they were pretty much the gods of everything to most 90s kids. Fenrir fucked around with this message at 02:43 on Oct 23, 2014 |

Why do I feel like I've heard part of Feast and the Famine already? Was it in the episode last week or did they play it at the livestreamed gig afterwards or something? It's a pretty solid song, but yeah, I'll echo that it's not as much of an instant favorite of mine as Something From Nothing is.
