Riv Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 I apologize if this has been posted...but I noticed that a drum fill in The Anarchist was very similar to the drum break in "Rope" by the FF. Then, when I listened to Rope, in the chorus Hawkins is playing the very same ride pattern that Neil plays in Spirit of Radio...and in many, many other songs. So did Taylor say "screw it, no one has the balls to do Neil's signature ride pattern so I am," and as a joke Neil steals a fill from that very song? I know they respect each other, and I may be reaching, but it is interesting, to say the least. Some of the guitar work seems similar in the album to FF, as well. Love the new album.

trenken Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Who knows. It could be coincidence, or its very possible Nick pushed him to do it if he felt it was right in that spot. I dont have a problem with it. The album sounds like a FF album obviously since Nick produced it, so its not impossible there's some FF influences there since it seems the band did give Nick some creative input Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThinkingBig Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 I noticed an E minor chord. I've heard other guitarists use that chord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mara Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Well, if they're there, they are subtle enough so that I haven't noticed. DH is a huge Foo fan, and I myself loathe the band's music (understand - I do respect that they are quite talented - I just don't like 'em).

Does Stone Sour sound like Foo Fighters? Does Deftones sound like Foo Fighters? What about Danzig? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishdood Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 (edited) Taylor Hawkins did say that he was going to split the royalties with Neil for the drumming on Rope! http://www.rushisaband.com/blog/2011/03/21...new-single-Rope Edited June 16, 2012 by Scottishdood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Presto-digitation Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 They have a healthy respect for RUSH and the Foo guys seem to be really stand up, cool blokes. I know Rope was a nod to Rush, but I doubt Rush reciprocated. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeddyRulz Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 I've heard others say they hear a Foo Fighters influence on CA. If true, it's a case of Rush influencing the Foo Fighters influencing Rush, because I know the guys from the Foo are Rush fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If true, it's a case of Rush influencing the Foo Fighters influencing Rush, because I know the guys from the Foo are Rush fans. I think it's a lot of speculation myself, due in large part to Nick's work with both bands. However, some people forget that Butch Vig and NOT Nick R. produced Foo's album with Rope. Anyhow, I doubt Rush is returning the compliment. I hear some Rush in Rope, but I hear almost ZERO Foo in the new Rush album...except for maybe the opening chords in The Wreckers. It's the TYPE of melody the Foos would do....but hardly sounds like anything Foo-specific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me The Wreckers largely reminds me of Mission. Not exactly, mind you, but that kind of prevailing melody. The intro's the only thing that sounds different for them...and even that almost has a Feedback/60s/Byrds kind of feel to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jomboni Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 I definitely get a Foo Fighters vibe from Headlong Flight, but it's more to do with the fact that the last Foo Fighters album had a strong Rush feel and Rush is still sounding like Rush. Like the staccato guitar & drumwork under the "Some days were dark, I wish that I could live them all again" is very Foo Fighters...esque? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jomboni Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Also the opening riff to HF is really similar to the opening riff of another song off the last Foo Fighters album but I can't remember which one. It probably doesn't help that I just heard the new Foo Fighters for the first time last week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
