There was one other dude that also made the same remark you did about this song. So nice to hear that other people think the same way. I've never heard anything that sounds so sad, angry and beautiful at the same time. The best ending track to an album anyone could ever make.

Nah i really don't get that a lot. And no i'm not a big fan of that genre. But that's maybe because i haven't given it a real chance yet. Thanks for the great support man!

i love echos silence patience and grace i really like the mixture of the tone the pretender is one of my favorite foos songs and songs like let it die and long road to ruin are amazing. I really like the build up in let it die. Summers end is just a lovely calm song that i love. This album is definitely in my top 3 and was the first album of the foos that i really got into. Then wasting light just blew me away. My favourite albums have to be wasting light, esp&g and colour and the shape
Man, really, If you haven't watch the Sonic Highways documentary yet you just HAVE to do it. The record, as you said, it is kinda meh, but I love inmenselly the effort Dave puts in that projects. As well as it happens with Sound City, it feels like a really passionate tribute to the music in general and Rock in particular. Good interviews, amazing stories, superb musicians... YOU JUST HAVE TO WATCH IT.
I sure will. Love to watch rock documentaries and i don't doubt that the concept and that doc in particular kicks ass. Are you a fan of QOTSA or Kyuss by any chance? In that case you should watch the documnetary about the music scene they come from. It's called Desert Age. Another great doc!!
+Lie Likes Music Oh yesss I am, I have Blues For The Red Sun and Rated R, Deaf, Lullaby and Like Clockwork from QOTSA (which is my fav my far, btw), I love Stoner, it is one of my fav generes in Rock/Metal. Thanks for the info, man, I just LOVE too that kind of documentaries, it helps a lot if you want to understand the music and the people behind the music. You learn about the concept behind some songs, the state of the band at that moment, the inspirations behind their love for music and some really funny facts and stories, which remains me the kickass interview Dave had with Lars Ulrich, haha (I'm sure you watched it, he said a lot of the things you said in a couple of videos about the Foos). I recomend you to listen to some greek Stoner/psychodelic bands, they're having some kind of explotion there and it's amazing. I suggest Naxatras, they're amazing and damn talented. Thanks for the awesome content btw, I think there's a lack of this kind of stuff in YT, keep it on! ^^
Hey man, great video! I like your take on the records. I'm surprised at how much I agree with you. I highly suggest watching Sonic Highways. It will definitely make you rethink the record. I chalk it up to a great experimental record, but, like you said, isn't one you can easily put on repeat. The show is just fascinating in general. Music documentaries are great, but it's even better when a band you love is involved.
Josh Williams Thank you Josh! Hahah, i'm glad that we agree on so many things. Yes it certainly becomes more interesting when you already have a long history of being a fan of the band. That's why i loved making this video 😊 I think one of my friends has an HBO subscription. So hopefully i'll get to watch it in the near future. Thanks for reaching out man!
The Foo Fighters have been my favourite band for a while now (well, second to the Eagles, but that's not what this is about). THEREFORE, I have a bit to say. I appreciate the very diverse discography they have managed to pull through. "There's Nothing Left to Lose" is perhaps the one I love the most, because it's really true to their hearts, but "In Your Honour" is a true masterpiece. Dense, diverse, real, and shows the extent of their musical range. I really like "Foo Fighters" (and how it came out a few days before I was born, important information), and Good Grief is one of my favourite of their songs. The thing is:::::::::::: I had a constant sense of improvement, change, growth maybe, every time they released an album, but I sort of felt that Wasting Light was a peak. I expected that stuff would become repetitive after that, and it really did. It's stil great music, with some great moments, but it doesn't get me much impressed anymore. "Sonic Highways" sounded extremely forced, I believe I gave up that album the moment he got that tattoo of the cover art. And, well, ever since I feel like Dave has been forcing himself to fit into the name that he naturally made for himself. I'm heading to your Concrete and Gold review soon, to conclude this. But, anyway, very good to hear from someone who is well-acquainted with their discography and who enjoys them as much as I do! :)
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Foo Fighters. They are my favorite band since the 70s (yeah i'm an old hippie). It is very rare to love every song on every cd. The Foo Fighters hit that mark with me. I loved the first cd. When I found out Dave Grohl recorded it alone??!! Holy Crap I was impressed. The One by One cd literally saved my life. I got very, very ill. Went to hospital and had Sepsis or Septicemia. An infection in the blood from kidney infection My back is kind of messed up so didn't realize. Anyhow, it went to my brain. I halucinated for 3 days so bad I was unaware of what my physical body was doing. I remembered every song on One by One, i used to be a singer. I saw videos I made up, a Foo concert, etc. I came out of it fine. Dr's kept coming in my room telling me how lucky I was. Found out I only had 30% chance of living. I have tried unsuccessfully, to get this story to them with no luck.
Wow that's quite a story. I really wish you get to meet Dave or some of the other band members one day. Personally i intend to do it. Maybe i can help you do the same. Feel free to connect with me on facebook. There's a link to it on my channels info page. Thanks for sharing man. Would love to hear the more in-depth version of that story.
Honestly really love ESP&G whenever I’m feeling down it’s one of my go to albums. Wasting light is by far the best FF’s record though that should definitely be the album to play to someone who hasn’t listened to them before, I swear it’s always in everyone’s top 3 as well👌🏻
rosemary aurora Well that's good for you. But for some reason i never really got what was so good about it. Wasting Light on the other hand is a classic. And in my top 3 for sure. Such a balanced yet exctiting album!
Hi C, I have to check out" In Your Honor" & Wasting Light. Loved the miners story ! Tx for making these documentaries. And now to the new album..see you there! 🎶
I felt the same way you did about Sonic Highways until I watched the documentary. The show is more like a "selected history of rock in America" rather than a "making of" sort of documentary, which makes it feel more like a soundtrack instead of a standalone record. Seeing the songs in the context of the influences they were drawing from along with all of the notable guests representing their city on each song really elevated the album to one of my favorites. Each episode dives deep into the music scene of its city and leads up to the creation of a song dedicated to it. It's really well done in my opinion, and the series alone has opened my ears to a whole new world of music I'd never have discovered if it wasn't for Dave's pure love of the craft. I'd call that another mark of greatness, wouldn't you?
Off course. I haven't watched the documentary yet, but i bet it would offer me somewhat the same experience that you had. Maybe i would like the album even more. But i think the album would be a lot better in general if it was good in itself. The music should influence you to wanna know more. And it didn't do that for me.
I totally understand, I hear that sentiment a lot. I just wanted to mention it since, with the particular case of Sonic Highways, it feels like the context of the series was an integral part of the album's creation - meaning that the series and the album are two halves of the same whole, in a sense, rather than two separate entities. I hope you get the chance to check it out some time, I'd love to hear your thoughts on it and/or Dave's other documentary project, Sound City. Loved the video though! Subbed and looking forward to the next one. :)
Goldsmith NOT fired, asked to tour, but left. Butch Wig and Dave Role. Wasting Light is my favorite no skip album. Oh my, OUTSIDE is the BEST song on Sonic Highways. I think you might have been asleep. But if everyone likes what they like. Sonic Highways is a companion piece to the album. Hope you've mellowed out since making this.
In Your Honor is the only Foos album I ever actually bought. I'm going through rankings and I'm baffled to discover it's mostly considered a low-tier Foos album. Glad to find somebody who got as much out of it as I did.
The Sonic Highways series is really cool. I think you will get a lot more out of the album after you watch it. I agree with you that alone, Sonic Highways is not one of my favorites, but together with the series, it works for me.
Foo Fighters aren't made to work. They should rock. But then again, they're gonna make whatever they feel like making. And you rarely find a band or artists that have just put out great records. They're going through their low-point at the moment. I'll definitely give the doc series a watch!
I remember exactly where i was when i heard "The Pretender" for the first time. I believed before then that all the great music was already done. I was a 90s kid and alice in chains and grunge was my go to. I was blown away at how good these guys are. Like u after that i drowned myself in all their work. Love these guys.
My fav Foos record has to be There’s Nothing Less to Lose, but Color and the Shape is definitely a close second. Echoes is better than In Your Honor to me. In Your Honor felt way over produced to me. Let it Die, Come Alive, and The Pretender are some of my favs! Great video man!
Very well done! To clarify - and I agree that Sonic Highways was pretty much a dud - it was more of an afterthought, insofar as the HBO series was in place well before and the songs were the result of each episode, not the other way around. As a long time Foos fan, I gave Dave an A for effort on 'Highways', but unfortunately a C for execution... He was still riding the whole 'documentary' tip after the success of 2012's awesome film 'Sound City', but the latter project didn't translate anywhere near as well as the great album 'REEL to REAL' did from 'Sound City'.
Really cool video. There are a lot of songs by the Foo Fighters that I think are very good. I just didn't know where to start when it comes to their albums. I will now give Wasting Light, In Your Honor and One By One a shot. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on these records!
Robert Graefe No worries! I'm glad you liked this 😊 As you could tell i'm a big Foo Fighters fan too. So it's a pleasure to highlight some of their best work (in my opinion)
Awesome! Last time i saw them was back in 2014 in Oslo. Too bad we had seats... I think just standing in the crowd would've made the concert a lot more visceral. Thanks for supporting me ;)
I think that William wasn´t fired, I believe he quit.. Dave told that he still wanted him in the band, but when the time came to record a new album or song, Dave had to play drums.... William didn´t like the idea and quit Btw great fucking video mate

I like your Drawings while your telling the history of Foo Fighters and I respect your knowledge of them it shows that you are truly interested and passionate about music, I also like your personality, its refreshing.
Im glad thats the case, and I love the Feeling that the Foo fighters gives me. you basically summed it all up in this documentary why the Foo Fighters are Great. They are a band that motivates me to create more music with my band they are one of my biggest influences and my bands biggest influences. Dave Grohl is the king of rock rn IMO.
Limerick Official How awesome! Yes Dave has to be one of the most charismatic and humble successful artists out there. Man, tell me more about your band 😃
Nice video man ! If I may advice you to get more comfortable with your talking and not repeating yourself too much, you'll get better in your analysis. But it's a nitpick, keep up the good work, I'll sure come back to see what you do next !
Dave Grohl as a person seems like a really good dude....hell I even like MOST of his other non nirvana non foo fighters output (namely QOTSA, PROBOT, Dain Bramage) but I just cant get behind FF. He's a guy who has paid his dues and includes A SHIT TON of amazing musicians in his projects but nothing he's done with FF has EVER made a huge impression on me. I like Dave Grohl for all the bands and art he has championed more than the art he's put out himself.
Well i'm glad you respect him so much though. As you could tell i love Foo Fighter's music. Not all of it, but much of it. And at the end of the day, it's just a matter of taste. I wouldn't beat myself up if i didn't like it. Thanks for sharing your thoughts though! Cheers from Norway!
La verdad es que ESPG es su mejor album, devido a las sofisticadas melodias y armonias que tiene, pero tambien es el que menos gente llega a entender, a Sonic Highways le paso lo mismo
Sorry about the french !!! It was very interesting and complète. Specialy for people who dont realy know the Foos. Your voice is so clear and well articulate. Thank you for it.
Dominique Belisle No worries. Would love to learn french some time ✋😉 And thank you for the kind words. Do you know of any new albums/bands i should check out?
Here is my opinion: 9. Foo Fighters - Not a big fan on the rawness of this album. But Dave Grohl is still a genious (5/10) 8. Concrete And Gold - Not good. Only a few good songs but very forgettable (5.5/10) 7. In Your Honor - Rock side is good, but the acoustic side is worse (6/10) 6. Sonic Highways - Good album, fantastic production but just not enough songs (6.5/10) 5. Wasting Light - Middle of the road album. It's great but the other albums below I find are better (7/10) 4. Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace - This is what 'In Your Honor' should've been like. Way better with a nice mix of acoustic + rock songs (8/10) 3. There Is Nothing Left To Lose - Beautiful soft album but can sometimes get a bit boring after a while (9/10) 2. The Colour And The Shape - Same as 'There is nothing left to lose' but more polished. The only let down of this album is the song 'See you' (9.5/10) 1. One By One - Fantastic album. VERY unpopular opinion but despite it containing my 2 favourite foo fighters songs (All my life and Times Like These) the other tracks are still great :) (10/10)
while i do love most of one by one i do belive it has the weakest song of them (not bad. just weaker than the other). and it is "tired of you", and yes the lyrics are pretty and brian may did the backing harmonics but it's both to long for what it is, boring guitar work (brian does not save this for me) & it just doesn't pack any punch.just my opinion (also "burn away" isn't to good). don't get me wrong i fucking love foo fighters with all my heart but i can look at them critically
Something about Dave Grohl doesn't sit well with me. I love the Foo Fighters first record and there are certainly parts of the later records that impress me, but of late I've been turned off by his presence and some of the things he has said/done. It also seems like his musical tastes and trends have turned softer with his age - as a result the music the FF are putting out just feels over commercialised and toned down. It's hard to pin-point but I'm not a huge fan anymore.
Nah me neither. I'm a fan in the sense that i LOVE their early records. But Sonic Highways and Concrete and Gold were two very underwhelming records. I do enjoy his personality though. He seems like a very charismatic and sensitive guy. Did you listen to Wasting Light? And if so what do you think of the album?
I know exactly what you are saying... HUGE FF fan over last 20+ years, but last couple albums are duds, and now that Dave has decided to pontificate on politics he has done himself a HUGE disservice. Stick to writing and recording and acting silly Dave... leave the big problems to those that have a clue.
Yeah that's exactly what I was thinking too James. He should just stick to being a musician. I definitely find myself listening to less and less FF lately.
I had a love for Dave as an icon prior to last weeks news... now just another great musician with no clue. Very disappointing. It's not totally his fault for being naive or ignorant. He was a kid the last time he had any need to relate to real world problems, and of course he has been surrounded by nothing but liberal elites since 1991. Not so sure that I would not think the same way. But he gets a healthy dose of rebuke for making the statements, nobody was holding a gun to his head
straight up, the only thing from "something for nothing" that sounds like "holy diver" is that one tiny little bridge... and it's really not that significant.... get over it.
Dude, Exhausted is my favourite Foo Fighters song ever. I related so strongly with how you feel when you listen to it. It's criminally underrated.
There was one other dude that also made the same remark you did about this song.
So nice to hear that other people think the same way. I've never heard anything that
sounds so sad, angry and beautiful at the same time. The best ending track to an album
anyone could ever make.

i feel like Aurora from theres nothing left to lose is incredibly underated lol
Goldsmith NOT fired, asked to tour, but left. Butch Wig and Dave Role. Wasting Light is my favorite no skip album. Oh my, OUTSIDE is the BEST song on Sonic Highways. I think you might have been asleep. But if everyone likes what they like. Sonic Highways is a companion piece to the album. Hope you've mellowed out since making this.
Come Back is a underrated song! Love it!
Is aurora and hey, johnny park underrated?
NYRAPPERFULL yes
In Your Honor is the only Foos album I ever actually bought. I'm going through rankings and I'm baffled to discover it's mostly considered a low-tier Foos album. Glad to find somebody who got as much out of it as I did.
Great documentary. Fantastic job. Love it
Was not expecting a Dave Fanning interview to be the first cutaway!
Loved the video, man! You deserve more subs
Exhausted is my fav song on the album
Same here!! That's awesome
Great video man ! I was looking for something exactly like this and you came through !
dave :says something
lie: sign of greatness
One by one is hands down my favourite album by them
It's one of their heaviest albums. And i love it too for that. But i honestly
think Nothing Left To Loose or their debut were their best ones.
The Sonic Highways series is really cool. I think you will get a lot more out of the album after you watch it. I agree with you that alone, Sonic Highways is not one of my favorites, but together with the series, it works for me.
Foo Fighters aren't made to work. They should rock. But then again, they're gonna make whatever they feel like
making. And you rarely find a band or artists that have just put out great records. They're going through their
low-point at the moment. I'll definitely give the doc series a watch!
Yes, I have watched Sonic Highways, and it's amazing! Go see it ASAP.
I remember exactly where i was when i heard "The Pretender" for the first time. I believed before then that all the great music was already done. I was a 90s kid and alice in chains and grunge was my go to. I was blown away at how good these guys are. Like u after that i drowned myself in all their work. Love these guys.
Hahah that's awesome! Thanks for sharing. They're easily one of the best bands of the past 3 decades.
My fav Foos record has to be There’s Nothing Less to Lose, but Color and the Shape is definitely a close second. Echoes is better than In Your Honor to me. In Your Honor felt way over produced to me. Let it Die, Come Alive, and The Pretender are some of my favs! Great video man!
Cool! I guess we all have different preferences haha. Have you seen them live before? Thanks for the support! 😊
Lie Likes Music Absolutely! I’m going to see them this coming Tuesday, actually. So excited😍
I'm sure you are. Hope you have a blast!
Very well done!
To clarify - and I agree that Sonic Highways was pretty much a dud - it was more of an afterthought, insofar as the HBO series was in place well before and the songs were the result of each episode, not the other way around.
As a long time Foos fan, I gave Dave an A for effort on 'Highways', but unfortunately a C for execution... He was still riding the whole 'documentary' tip after the success of 2012's awesome film 'Sound City', but the latter project didn't translate anywhere near as well as the great album 'REEL to REAL' did from 'Sound City'.
Echoes Silence Patience and Grace . . . one of the best I've ever heard from any band ever
Thank you so much for making this video. You're legit af man
RhythmGrizz 😊 No problemo. Thank you for your support! Really enjoyed making this.
Really cool video. There are a lot of songs by the Foo Fighters that I think are very good. I just didn't know where to start when it comes to their albums. I will now give Wasting Light, In Your Honor and One By One a shot. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on these records!
Robert Graefe No worries! I'm glad you liked this 😊 As you could tell i'm a big Foo Fighters fan too. So it's a pleasure to highlight some of their best work (in my opinion)
Am I the only person that thinks Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace is their best/my fav album??
Yes
Lie Likes Music cmon dude. The pretender, long road to ruin, erase/replace, come alive. It’s such an underrated album!
I agree , The Pretender, Let It Die & Summers End are my favourite foo's songs.
I agree. I think its their second best album behind wasting light.
Let It Die. You did not like this song? What? Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace - Let It Die
Just saw them live last night it was life changing! Thanks lie your vids are awesome!
Awesome! Last time i saw them was back in 2014 in Oslo. Too bad we had seats... I think just standing
in the crowd would've made the concert a lot more visceral. Thanks for supporting me ;)
I think that William wasn´t fired, I believe he quit.. Dave told that he still wanted him in the band, but when the time came to record a new album or song, Dave had to play drums.... William didn´t like the idea and quit
Btw great fucking video mate
Hey no worries! I'm glad yoiu liked it. And maybe you're right.
It must be a bummer for him to see what happened to the Foo
Fighter after he quit...
When are you going to do the QNA I am really excited 😜 and I have one more thing to ask do you play any instruments?????????????
I'm not sure when to do the Q and A. Sometime soon when i don't have so much stuff to do haha. Thanks for the question.

Plankton Theory I'll try to sort it out somehow 😊
PLEASE @Lie Likes Music, Radiohead
Radiohead would be great!
Do Radiohead
Great Video Man!
Limerick Official Thank you Limerick! Anything in particular that you liked?
I like your Drawings while your telling the history of Foo Fighters and I respect your knowledge of them it shows that you are truly interested and passionate about music, I also like your personality, its refreshing.
Limerick Official Thank you for saying that! It keeps me motovated to create more videos 😊 Why do you like the Foos?
Im glad thats the case, and I love the Feeling that the Foo fighters gives me. you basically summed it all up in this documentary why the Foo Fighters are Great. They are a band that motivates me to create more music with my band they are one of my biggest influences and my bands biggest influences. Dave Grohl is the king of rock rn IMO.
Limerick Official How awesome! Yes Dave has to be one of the most charismatic and humble successful artists out there. Man, tell me more about your band 😃
Well done! However you did not include SKIN AND BONES, their all acoustic album. Record at the Hollywood Pantages Theatre.
Wasting Light is one of my favorites
Same here man!
Nice video man ! If I may advice you to get more comfortable with your talking and not repeating yourself too much, you'll get better in your analysis. But it's a nitpick, keep up the good work, I'll sure come back to see what you do next !
Thanks for the tip. I'll keep it in mind ;)
Great content!!
Thanks Steve! Really appreciate your support.
Great video 👍
Thanks 🍧
Great montage of FF studio work!! But dude your house is a freaking mess lol... mine is too but I don't show it to the world
This is my friend's house. Which might explain why i didn't invest too much time in cleaning xD Hahah
DUDE!! Go watch the Sonic Highways show RIGHT TF now!! It's so good! You'll love it!
Dave Grohl as a person seems like a really good dude....hell I even like MOST of his other non nirvana non foo fighters output (namely QOTSA, PROBOT, Dain Bramage) but I just cant get behind FF. He's a guy who has paid his dues and includes A SHIT TON of amazing musicians in his projects but nothing he's done with FF has EVER made a huge impression on me. I like Dave Grohl for all the bands and art he has championed more than the art he's put out himself.
Well i'm glad you respect him so much though. As you could tell i love Foo Fighter's music. Not all of it,
but much of it. And at the end of the day, it's just a matter of taste. I wouldn't beat myself up if i didn't
like it. Thanks for sharing your thoughts though! Cheers from Norway!
La verdad es que ESPG es su mejor album, devido a las sofisticadas melodias y armonias que tiene, pero tambien es el que menos gente llega a entender, a Sonic Highways le paso lo mismo
El publico de foo fighters es muy pop, por eso TCATS y Wasting Light son los albumes favoritos
At 4:20 I think of jeffy
I would agree with you on my hero and ever long.
Extremement interessant surtout pour initier quelqun. Ta voix est tres agreable et tres articulee. Merci
Dominique Belisle Sorry, i don't speak french. But thank you so much for reaching out! 😊
Sorry about the french !!!
It was very interesting and complète. Specialy for people who dont realy know the Foos.
Your voice is so clear and well articulate.
Thank you for it.
Dominique Belisle No worries. Would love to learn french some time ✋😉 And thank you for the kind words. Do you know of any new albums/bands i should check out?
Seeing young Dave with glasses on is really throwing me off
Rip Taylor, William didn’t get fired he quit the band
Do Pearl Jam please?
Grizzly Bear - The whole band or at least Shields Album.
Shields? Hmm i need to listen more to that one beforehand then. I'm very into
many of the songs on Painted Ruins at the moment.
What is the music in the backround
Do a soad vid
TNLTL for life
Oooooh yes!
Let it Die best song
so based
Listen you can hate me all you want but I HATED in your honor
13:18 it was Tasmania bro
Really? Sorry about that
I lived there when it happened
Here is my opinion:
9. Foo Fighters - Not a big fan on the rawness of this album. But Dave Grohl is still a genious (5/10)
8. Concrete And Gold - Not good. Only a few good songs but very forgettable (5.5/10)
7. In Your Honor - Rock side is good, but the acoustic side is worse (6/10)
6. Sonic Highways - Good album, fantastic production but just not enough songs (6.5/10)
5. Wasting Light - Middle of the road album. It's great but the other albums below I find are better (7/10)
4. Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace - This is what 'In Your Honor' should've been like. Way better with a nice mix of acoustic + rock songs (8/10)
3. There Is Nothing Left To Lose - Beautiful soft album but can sometimes get a bit boring after a while (9/10)
2. The Colour And The Shape - Same as 'There is nothing left to lose' but more polished. The only let down of this album is the song 'See you' (9.5/10)
1. One By One - Fantastic album. VERY unpopular opinion but despite it containing my 2 favourite foo fighters songs (All my life and Times Like These) the other tracks are still great :) (10/10)
Talk about The Mars Volta pls
The time will come
you only talked about the singles my man
Is anyone ever gonna tell him it's 'the media was...'?
You just did lol. Sorry about that
Watch Sonic Highways if you haven't.It's a 1000 times better than the album which I'm not a fan of either.
People keep turning me to this documentary. I sure will :)
while i do love most of one by one i do belive it has the weakest song of them (not bad. just weaker than the other).
and it is "tired of you", and yes the lyrics are pretty and brian may did the backing harmonics but it's both to long for what it is, boring guitar work (brian does not save this for me) & it just doesn't pack any punch.just my opinion (also "burn away" isn't to good). don't get me wrong i fucking love foo fighters with all my heart but i can look at them critically
THE SKYYYY IS A NEIGHBORHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Not a good song.
(i dig the song a bit lol)
seriously? you don't like sky is a neighborhood???????
Are u aussie?
Nope i'm from Norway.
i covered the entire one by one album
Coolio.
Something about Dave Grohl doesn't sit well with me. I love the Foo Fighters first record and there are certainly parts of the later records that impress me, but of late I've been turned off by his presence and some of the things he has said/done. It also seems like his musical tastes and trends have turned softer with his age - as a result the music the FF are putting out just feels over commercialised and toned down. It's hard to pin-point but I'm not a huge fan anymore.
Nah me neither. I'm a fan in the sense that i LOVE their early records. But Sonic Highways and Concrete and Gold were
two very underwhelming records. I do enjoy his personality though. He seems like a very charismatic and sensitive guy.
Did you listen to Wasting Light? And if so what do you think of the album?
Yeah that's the same with me. Wasting Light didn't do anything for me really at all. Mind you they still put on a great show!
I know exactly what you are saying... HUGE FF fan over last 20+ years, but last couple albums are duds, and now that Dave has decided to pontificate on politics he has done himself a HUGE disservice. Stick to writing and recording and acting silly Dave... leave the big problems to those that have a clue.
Yeah that's exactly what I was thinking too James. He should just stick to being a musician. I definitely find myself listening to less and less FF lately.
I had a love for Dave as an icon prior to last weeks news... now just another great musician with no clue. Very disappointing. It's not totally his fault for being naive or ignorant. He was a kid the last time he had any need to relate to real world problems, and of course he has been surrounded by nothing but liberal elites since 1991. Not so sure that I would not think the same way. But he gets a healthy dose of rebuke for making the statements, nobody was holding a gun to his head
No "Medium Rare",?
Well that was a collectors album. Not one of their official LP releases.
@@LieLikesMusic true enough
Great covers though.
Dave leaving foo fighters!!! :(
straight up, the only thing from "something for nothing" that sounds like "holy diver" is that one tiny little bridge... and it's really not that significant.... get over it.
Tiny little bridge? They based their whole riff on it. And sure, i've gotten used to it now.
But the song is still not that good.
One of the most overrated bands of all time.
