Really terrible news that just doesn't sound right. As far as bands go....a member dying of a drug overdose didn't seem like the kind of thing that could happen....seeing as how close the band members are and how together they seemed to have it. Hurts more knowing the kind of person Hawkins was. Nice, genuine person that everyone seemed to love. As far as the Foo Fighters go....I simply cannot imagine Dave Grohl hanging it up. Guy seems to have limitless energy.....and would probably go crazy without multiple different projects going at all times. Wouldn't surprise me if their tour was cancelled or at the very least....postponed. Was planning to see them this August when they rolled through the Twin Cities.....but they should absolutely do what is best when assessing the next move. Don't like to speculate or throw out "fun" thoughts.....but I'm going to anyways.....what if Dave tried to mend fences with William Goldsmith (the drummer that quit the band after Grohl re-recorded all his drum tracks on 'The Colour and the Shape'.....and the guy who Hawkins ultimately replaced)?

Speaking as a singer, Grohl has a much clearer and more pleasant tone to his voice than Kroeger/Hinder. I’m not even the biggest Foo Fighters person but that’s absolutely a reason I’d rather listen to them than those other bands

It’s all late 90s/21st century versions of 70s corporate rock. Bad Company sounded different from Journey who sounded different from Foreigner, but it’s all kinda the same. Take your pick who you like the most.

Grohl has definitely been guilty of being too shouty at times, but his non-shouty voice is pretty distinct. Not an all-time great, but I could pick it out of a crowd any day. (And pretty much nobody sounds cooler with a chorus/flange effect.)

Bad Company sounded different from Journey who sounded different from Foreigner, but it’s all kinda the same. Take your pick who you like the most. Again, if we’re talking about voices, Grohl has a totally different voice. His voice is higher and cleaner, he even has a a bit of a whine on the end of his notes. Kroeger has a much lower register, lots of gravel at the end of his notes, and a mushier mouth on lyrics. Sorry I’m a singer so this kind of thing is a sticking point to me.

Grohl is a terrible writer IMO and it seems to only have gotten worse. Choruses are just the same line repeated over and over again. The new thrash album was alright but that song Cold just highlights my issues with him. Best of You is another that just gets on my nerves. It didn't seem to be as annoying on the first few albums.

The thing that makes Kroegers voice unbearable isnt just that he growls, its that he growls every line the same way with no dynamics. Photograph is the most egregious example of this because not only is he red lining every single line there's a harmony behind the whole vocal track thats doing the exact same thing the entire song.

Apparently they were really good around Hesher EP - when they first came out. I've never listened to it but I remember in like grade 12, 1999 one of the teach assistants coming into class and saying how good they were, haha. I thought that was the band name and they changed to Nickleback but it apparently was Nickleback their entire professional career (they started as Village Idiot according to wikipedia). E: Sounds like any generic rock from the late 90's - Curb album that is, lol. Like Default "Wasting My Time". Vintersorg fucked around with this message at 16:49 on Mar 29, 2022 |

(And pretty much nobody sounds cooler with a chorus/flange effect.) My biggest pet peeve about Grohl and the main reason I never had any interest in seeing a third Foo Fighters concert was because of Dave’s incessant need to constantly interject every other line in every song with some variation of “COME ON SING IT WITH ME” or “ARE YOU loving READY” or “HERE WE GOOOO” like dude calm the gently caress down and knock that poo poo off And now Taylor is dead and never has to hear Dave attempt to compell the audience to sing for him two hundred times every night. He’s truly in a better place imo edit: 🎵 Six colour pictures, all in a row... ARE YOU loving READY!?! COME ON AND loving SING IT WITH MEEEEEEE...

tricyclics + benzos + opioids can make you do some really wackadoo poo poo. don't wanna overshare but a parent had that combo and i'm the reason they're not in a casket because they blacked out and opened their arms up w/ a knife with no idea what they were doing.

gently caress it, months-long double posting. Got an email this morning about the tribute concert. https://foofighters.cmail20.com/t/ViewEmail/r/6ED88267504D34392540EF23F30FEDED/2E3FA4556B15BE8A8BD4C707EBCCB890?alternativeLink=False  Might try to watch it via Pluto on Saturday, especially since the time difference (I'm on the East Coast) means that it starts at noon.
