thizzellewashington Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 The Foos have always been a singles band for me--I enjoy their hits but I'd never go out of my way to listen to an album of theirs. May check the new one out, "Rope" kicks ass. As for Glee, I've seen a few episodes here and there and it's not the kind of thing I'd ever watch regularly but I didn't completely hate it. There are way worse shows on TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the masked drummer Posted April 4, 2011 Author Share Posted April 4, 2011 I saw a vj on vh1 yesterday, & he said he talked to ole gravy davey about the video. Grohl said all he used on the rope video was a hi8 camcorder and 5 hours. Wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the masked drummer Posted April 6, 2011 Author Share Posted April 6, 2011 QUOTE (Gompers @ Apr 2 2011, 12:21 PM) Just watched the Foo Fighters Storytellers session. I really dig these guys more. Awesome band. The new tune is slowly growing on me. I've not seen that one, but i think i saw a promo fora new bio of those guys. I'd like to know the story behind the music myself. I've been stoked with these cats since i saw them pull jpjones & page onstage at wembley on their dvd. That was stellar imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALifeson85 Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 I like the new song. Here's a video of the Foo's performing "Rope" live last month, in Sydney, Australia... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghostworks Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 as the OP said, some basic hints of Rush/Zep right up front in the verses - very tight I was mildly interested then the chorus arrived insipid - mailed in at the very best... wow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cat 3 Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Watching Foo Fighters Live From Wembley right now and the documentary, "Back and Forth" is coming up next.

LeaveMyThingAlone Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 I've always been a "moderate" fan of the Foo Fighters. I love all their mainstream songs, but don't own any complete albums and can't get much into any of their stuff outside of the "hits" That being said, I love Rope and I watched the documentary Back and Forth yesterday and the snippets I heard of some of the others sounded very promising. For those interested, it's a very good film with lots of interesting stories within. For one, I had no idea Taylor Hawkins started out as Alanis Morrisette's drummer. I also had no idea they've gone through so many different members. I definitely hear the Rush influence in Rope and I imagine we'll hear it in some of the other stuff in the album. It's clear that the Foo is heavily influenced by Rush. Obviously, Geddy and Alex played YYZ with Taylor Hawkins at a Foo concert in Toronto, they've played parts of Rush songs here and there in concert. The only Rush reference in the Foo Fighters documentary was showing the guitar player warm up to the beginning of Spirit of Radio Looking forward to the album tomorrow and a tour! I have seen them at 3 festivals and they are always a great show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeaveMyThingAlone Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 One other interesting thing mentioned in the documentary related to this new album: They insisted on recording it on tape in Analog. Absolutely awesome. They wanted it to sound raw, old school, and did it to make sure everyone was playing well because they wouldn't be able to fix it. Would love to see Rush do this...but it wont happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cat 3 Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Won tickets to the private show at Ed Sullivan Theater in NYC on 12 April, the day the CD was released. The theater holds only 400 people. Was front row, they played the entire new CD start to finish and an additional of their songs as well. It was unbelievable...they were so good. Had a chance to meet them before the show, just after their Letterman taping. Long story...surreal to say the least. The new CD is in heavy rotation on my Ipod...it is one their best releases and that's saying alot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Not Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 I really dig this song! Foo Fighters is a band I've been meaning to get back into - so much better than Nirvana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laughedatbytime Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Loved the documentary... This is a video of them doing "Wasted Light" live I believe in its entirety. http://www.foofighters.tv/ I believe Butch Vig is producing this one, not Nick. Note: the video is 49 minutes long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
