foo fighters haven't been good for years
9/19/2007 12:04:18 PM
they lost me once they dedicated One by One to Kerry.If they'd go back to doing things like their first 2 albums I'd be there to see them in a heartbeat.
9/19/2007 2:25:46 PM
i agree. after their first two albums they seemed to take a departure from the kind of music that brought them initial success.

I remember back in the 90's MTV would always play that Foo Fighters video where the guy had a giant hand and was smacking the shit out of everybody.

don't worry manthere'll come a time when the teenie boppers don't recall mtv ever playing music videos
9/20/2007 1:23:24 PM
hahaha, true
9/20/2007 1:27:20 PM
i disagree somewhat. sure their first 2 albums are far and away their best, but their next couple were not bad, and each album has had some really great individual songs. And, from people ive talked to they play a very good and diverse set live. This is another band ive wanted to see for a long time, havent decided whether im going yet
9/20/2007 1:28:49 PM
i saw them a year or two ago w/ weezer and thought they were great live. got shut out on ticketbastard for the irving plaza show. i knew it was a long shot though. the place only holds around 900 and they gave half of the tix away for free on the radio. scalpers got most of the tm tix and they're going for crazy amounts on ebay and craigslist. fuck that. i won't pay a dime over face for any ticket.
9/20/2007 2:46:34 PM
^^they are really worth seeing live if you haven't. I've seen em 4 times now and they have rocked the house each and every time.
9/20/2007 4:24:37 PM
yea. im deciding if i want to go, it is a friday night in charlotte so i only live 2.5 hours away and my parents live in charlotte so id have somewhere to crash. colour and the shape is an amazing album <3
9/20/2007 5:15:53 PM

9/21/2007 9:57:25 AM
bah i forgot about this, and i think im going to refuse to be on hte 2nd level of an arena to see a band. i really want to see them but i dont want to pay 40 bucks to be 100 yards away[Edited on September 21, 2007 at 10:04 AM. Reason : ]

9/23/2007 3:35:11 PM
^^ my mom wouldn't let me go, and all i've ever heard since was that it was fucking amazing
9/23/2007 4:28:47 PM
i went with marko.. i don't remember it being overly amazing.. it was good though. they pretty much played the first album in it's entirety, and it was certainly loud.i do remember it being a pretty fun showoh, and kim deal's other other band, the amps, opened[Edited on September 23, 2007 at 4:40 PM. Reason : oh]
9/23/2007 4:39:03 PM
maybe it was a different show then...i know they played there twice between 96 and 98
9/23/2007 4:43:06 PM
oh it could have been amazingwe're a couple of old farts now with swiss cheese memories because rock and roll rotted our brainz
9/23/2007 4:54:28 PM
I am going but does anyone know who will be opening?
9/24/2007 1:26:58 PM
awesome show, fyi.Pat Smear was there, pretty cool, but as Dave put it "he doesn't do solos."
10/6/2007 1:34:15 AM
