Rageaholic Monkey posted:Wasting Light was real admirable in that it was recorded in Grohl's garage using analog tape machines and produced by Butch Vig to try to recapture the band's original sound, and I think they succeeded because it feels more raw and more like their early stuff. White Limo is definitely one of my favorite songs they've put out in years: In Your Honor and Echos, Silence, Patience and Grace felt like a Foo Fighters cover band trying to re-create The Colour And The Shape and There Is Nothing Left To Lose. I would have appreciated In Your Honor if they just stuck to an acoustic album. I'd pretty much written the band off until they released the video for White Limo.

Having been with the FF since receiving an n-th generation cassette copy of the first album via Usenet in early 1995, after In Your Honor and Silence Echos Patience and Grace, I'd written off the band as only being interested in ripping themselves off. The song and video for White Limo pulled me back and goddamn, was Wasting Light the kind of Foo Fighters album I'd been waiting to hear! Here's to Sonic Highways!

From Back & Forth, based on Dave's grousing about how Taylor didn't support in him in QOTSA, and how hard Taylor is on him self over his own drumming, I get the impression that Taylor is an insecure crybaby and likely still jealous over Dave's relationship with Josh. Naming his band as a riff on TVC/EODM sounds spot on.

Online sales with no geographical restrictions are one of the best ways to cause fans to stop being fans. That said, was that the band's decision or the venue's?

My problem with the episode was Dave's insistence on their song not sounding "too country". As someone who doesn't care for country music, I'd still rather see that risk (in the same vein as Metallica's "Mama Said") instead of the bland catalog rehash that "Congregation" is. Especially if he's going in there with an appreciation of the genre/Zac Brown. At the moment, none of the songs have made me want to listen to them again.

The best song from this album isn't on the album and they didn't even have to write it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QRBUAUYBr8

Dave seems to be into playing to a certain comfort level for the past decade and it was exemplified by a scene from Sonic Highways. The band was in Nashville, Chris is working on a country-riff and Dave jokingly but seriously says that they can't do country music on a Foo Fighters album. I dislike modern country with a passion, but I'd rather see the Foo's take on it rather than the luke-warm dad-rock that made it to the album.
