Foo Fighters aren't bad, "best of you" certainly didn't do them any favors though

he seems cool but the music is so painfully average and without any appeal whatsoever to the point where it's almost worse than being outright terrible

I really only dug in utero by Nirvana while I like NLTL, C&S and WL by the Foo's so they win by 3 albums to 1 imo.

I don't like nevermind because 1, I just don't think it's that great of an album, though territorial pissings is a great song.

Maybe I just hate nevermind because it's the only thing 90% of hipsters know about while wearing their swimming baby shirt.

oh my god. what are you talking about. why would you call someone who doesn't know nirvana's music a hipster. im literally so mad right now.

He existed for the sole purpose of which my idiotic fanboy former co-worker used to sulk all day when I said "The Foo Fighters are bland and the kind of music you listen to when you're twelve and don't know any better."

You just can't buy that sort of fun.

However, if I recall correctly, he's living in the city on the dole and drinking/blazing it up, so he got the last laugh.

this is every foo fighters song though. How one would consciously queue up learn to fly and make the decision to listen to it is totally beyond me.

It's such a blah song its hard to imagine a more boring and tired sounding song

Foo Fighters is simply radio-safe, easily packaged rock-n-roll for people who like to ROCK but only just enough to make sure to not make any statement or opinions that might offend or make people think.

Musically its good I guess, but completely uninteresting. Its not on the same planet of 'bad' as Nickleback or whatever but similarly "Meh" inducing.

Yes. I like a lot of the first Foo Fighters album though.

yeah i really liked that one back when it came out, beyond that and a few of the singles off their following album I think most of their music is mundane and forgettable. i really dont know enough about Dave Grohl to comment on him personally though. IMHO present day Foo Fighters arent nearly as unbearable as other mainstream rock acts like Coldplay, Mumford, or fuckin Imagine dragons though

I saw an episode of their documentary Sonic Highways or whatever where they were in I think Austin and talking about all the great bands that played at the venue, Fats Domino, ZZ Top, whatever, and it was a pretty cool storied history of the place, and then they were like YEA AND NOW THE FOO FIGHTERS ARE NEXT IN LINE GONNA TEAR IT UP and they played some horribly lovely generic rock song that kind of ruined everything that came before


That basically sums up how I feel about the foo fighters
