The Foo Fighters

Grohl doesn't play on Bleach.

I really like the Probot record.

Yeah, Bleach was Chad Channing. And his drumming was pretty damned solid, as well.

Grohl was still in Scream when Bleach came out.

[D.o.S.]

Scream is also pretty rad.

[Mudfuzz]

:erm: a bit of too-cool-for-school hipsterdom going on here. Like someone else said, as far as mainstream, made-for-radio rock goes, they're better than most.

really I like his drumming and Skeeter [King Buzzo EP] is one of my favorite songs but, I not like the Foo… I wanted to when they came out but it was like "Nirvana spawned this? how?

[darkfield]

Grohl is a cool guy, and Scream is the shit but foos are nothing more than a mediocre Swervedriver ripoff.

Not liking something is hipsterdom?

[D.o.S.]

I don't know if I hear that, and I love the Swervies.

Someone else said something about 'radio rock,' and that's more or less the entirety of my thoughts on the FF.

Yes, now every time you don't like crappy shit they play on the radio and reality shows you are a hipster...

No, it's more that I generally find that most people on ILF tend to get a hate on anything mainstream, that's all. It was mostly a tongue-in-cheek comment. I'm basically a mainstream kid at heart and I never know who the hell 99.9% of the bands that most of you guys talk about. So I compensate by calling all of you hipsters

No shit. Did not know that.

The thing is, most of the mainstream, commercially designed stuff doesn't hold a candle to bands that make music for reasons other than income. It's well documented that bands that get big tend to loose their edge. There are, of course a few notable exceptions, but most follow the Metallica template.

[Iommic Pope]

If I had James Hetfields bank balance, I'd be quite happy to be sticking to the template.

It would get boring as fuck after a while though, so I'd probably go full Corgan and have some kind of synth out lameathon at some point, just to stay ridiculous.

I will say though, I have always wanted enough money to have a full gospel band complete with an organist/modular synth, brass section and female backing section to tour music that sounds like Parliament covering Sabbath.

Like I said, it was tongue-in-cheek; i.e. a joke. I just generally feel like I can't contribute anything at all to the music forum here because I don't know most of the bands that get talked about. When a band I know gets brought up, it's usually getting shit on.

[GardenoftheDead]

I think they're ok. I don't complain if someone's playing them in the car but I don't necessarily seek them out.

[goroth]

It would get boring as fuck after a while though, so I'd probably go full Corgan and have some kind of synth out lameathon at some point, start making furniture commercials, start some sort of pro wrestling thing, fire off random incoherent rants at everything, shit on my musical legacy, just to stay ridiculous.

fix'd

[Iommic Pope]

Yeah fuck it, that just about sums it up.
Although, I suppose you have to hand it to Dave Grohl, he hasn't done that.
