If you really want to bum yourself out, read about South Africa's government in the 80s and 90s and how they responded to AIDS.
On another note, very different thing, I assume you people know about bug chasers?

Two things: The last unbearable goon at a gig I went to was wearing a Foo Fighters coat, and musicians being stupid shouldn't derail their musical output.

Which is to say I'm basically onboard with them for the first 1.5 records but I haven't listened to them in a real long time.

I guess that's why I'm still something of a Smashing Pumpkins fan.

I mean, if Buzzo doesn't like him, how can we?!
For real though the color and shape was one of those albums I had as a kid that I played nonstop. It's perfect.

Everlong is one of the better mainstream songs of the past 30 years...and then some. The acoustic versions are a testament.

The non-acoustic Everlong was literally the only FF song I could listen to until I watched grohl's HBO series. I can't pin it down, but there's just something very cringey about that guy.

I agree with the cringe, but I think he is just the king of dad rock. Like, the old guy who was a punker and then made it mainstream. Shit old man dumbass political opinions and thinking the glory days of the scene were back in his day.
I dunno I've been drinking :picard:

I got no problem with dad rockers. haha

I think it's more his over-enthusiasm for everything and how he's basically elbowing his way into music history as if he's somehow on level with these legends he's interviewing and forcing to record songs with him.

Everyone around him just has to grin and bear it because of his success.

And his corny formulaic lyrics.. at least from what he wrote for his sonic highways HBO "album".

I have no idea why i even care about this actually...haha
