Re: 'Concrete and Gold' discussion thread
I was largely indifferent to the album, but have kept coming back to it and now love it. I think I was initially excited for an album of Runs.
It feels like an album that is stronger as a whole than...

Re: What's next?
I would welcome more dropped singles or a sudden release of a new, concept less album (not that I consider Wasting Light much of a concept album, because so many bands have recorded in analogue)....

Re: New Foo Track - 'The Sky Is A Neighborhood'
I think that's my biggest gripe with it. I'm expecting his vocals to sound way better on the recording than live as is the case now that he's gotten older, but those lyrics ain't gonna change.
Happy...

Re: New Foo Track - 'The Sky Is A Neighborhood'
I think it's aight. I usually expect them to preview the very best songs ahead of the album, and whilst I get the anthemic side of it and it has definitely been a grower, it's a bit cheesy sounding...

Re: Run - New Foo Fighers song!
You're totally right to be honest. A true artist doesn't care about expectations. But I think it's easier to say that when you're not as established in rock as Dave, or especially as old as he is...

Re: Run - New Foo Fighers song!
Haha! I love it. That's absolutely fair enough :p To each their own! it's very soft-rock so I get how it wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea. I love Jackson United also! didn't think too much of the...

Re: Run - New Foo Fighers song!
I do agree, but I choose to think that maybe if Nate wasn't held back so much within Foo Fighters creatively, the fantastic Lieutenant might not have built up and burst from him. It's a gorgeous...

Re: Run - New Foo Fighers song!
That is Foo Fighters, though. That's why you see that kind of music on every Foo Fighters album. Dude is almost 50, and he loves what he does. I wouldn't expect any orchestral jazz from him....

Re: Run - New Foo Fighers song!
Man, I love this song. It wasn't an instant love like some more immediate first singles like All My Life and The Pretender, but it's such a grower. To me it sounds like a slightly different...

Re: Sonic Cecilia
Cool to see that others have had the same idea.
I think that's one of the reasons I was so dissapointed with SH. It wasn't just that there were only 8 songs, it's that I wasn't crazy about even...

There has been quite a few people who weren't keen on Sonic Highways. I was one of them, which was quite a shame after adoring Wasting Light. However, there were certainly songs on it I liked, and...

That's funny about DOA. It seemed to do well at the time, had a sweet popular video, everyone I know (fan or not) thinks it's one of their best and seems to have more...

Ugh indeed. Just concentrate on the songs! I also really don't think we need to be so retrospective with old musicians, I kind of see it as damaging, or at least not effective. New musicians need the...

Re: Sonic Highways the album - discussion thread
I'm not a huge fan of Back and Forth, Miss The Misery and A Matter Of Time, those three songs together are a bit of a dip for me on Wasting Light, but other than that I think only Feast and the...

I can get why Dave would be trying to make things fresh for himself regarding Foo's, thinking about it, as they can't really make any big musical departures at this point (they 'could', but they...

Re: The next record
Fingers crossed for a 'normal' album from the Foos next. Sonic Highways season 2 doesn't need an accompanying Foo Fighters album if it does happen. I'd much rather a Sound City-esque record that...

Re: Sonic Highways - Yey or nay?
I wouldn't say no chance, the last time I saw them there they played Rock N' Roll and Ramble On with half of Led Zeppelin. That was a nice surprise.

Re: Foo Fighters 20th anniversary Edition in 2015?
Foo Fighters are more of a casual singles band to the general public whereas Pearl Jam kind of rely on old fans, they've not had the longevity, which leads to more hardcore products for hardcore fans...

Re: Foo Fighters 20th anniversary Edition in 2015?
