![]() Nashville tomorrow night! I can't wait! The reschedule kind of disappointed me so I haven't been very excited about it until this week. But I am ready now!

![]() I loved the concert in Nashville!!! The Foo Fighters rocked the hell out of The Bridgestone Arena. Lil Fonzie was awesome. Let's see if one day he plays for Rush as Dave Grohl says!

Because of this Shifty's cover of Under My Wheels got cut and Dave was so fed up he has said no more fans on stage to jam with the band. Having been to 8 foo shows in 3 weeks I could see how it sucked the atmosphere from the show.....and it sucked.

I'm ok with not seeing fans on stage. It seems like it's almost every show lately. I know it was 2 out of 3 last week. I'm there to see the Foo. I'd much rather have White Limo, Let it Die or Enough Space with the screen down as opposed to fans on stage.

![]() See, I said this and got cussed out because every man and his dog wants to take a sign now. What ought to be a special, unique experience is no longer so if it happens at every show and becomes an expected 'audience participation' part of the set. They're not a Vegas cabaret act.

People now come to the show expecting to have the chance at being on stage and whilst it might be an amazing experience for them its shitty for the rest of us especially when it means they have to cut songs from the set list. I think Dave said something like 'its not a talent show' at some point in the last few weeks which to me says he's sick of it too.

I saw 2 signs last week to play drums on Generator. I told the kid next to me that someone already had that sign earlier in week, but he was sure he'd get on stage to play it.

![]() That's awesome. I never saw a post or anything about the drumhead there. I assumed that older lady (who had tried to see the Foos 4x) got it.

![]() Nashville was the first time seeing FF since 2008 and I was pretty underwhelmed. The show wasn't as special as I remember it being in the past. The crowd didn't seem as into it as I remember. Little Fonzi was kind of cool for the first couple of seconds but then he started playing a generic beat and everyone was just like ....really?... It was pretty cringey. They are playing way too many covers, too. I miss the hockey arena days where it was 100% Foo Fighters blowing my face off with 15 songs. The light show was great though! Taylor's drum solos have gotten pretty insane, too!

![]() That was my friend Toni who I was there with. Yeti likes to give the drumhead to youngsters or at a push teenagers but he did give her a setlist and drumstick.

![]() Saw them both in Memphis & Nashville. Liked both shows. I wish they would switch up the set lists too, but they have quite the elaborate stage/light show so that usually goes hand in hand with a fixed set list. My main complaint would be too many covers, but it also gives me a chance to hit the bathroom and get more beer.
![]() Yeti threw me a drumstick in Memphis. He threw another to me in Nashville from far away and it bounced off my hand and someone else got it. Oh well, I batted .500 and I was happy about that. Can't wait for 2 nights at Wrigley.

![]() The Struts were terrible, too. Easily the worst opening band I've seen. People have been raving about them but they were soooo cheesy. The singer wanted the crowd to do Jazz Hands for every single song. COME ON PUT YOUR HANDS UP AND WAVE THEM LIKE THIS! I wished I had come late so I didn't have to see them perform.
