fleabag Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Never really got into FF, and then i accidently saw a vid of All My Life, and was stunned by TH's awesome , accurate and tight drumming. A powerhouse. 50 is a rediclous age to go. RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor was a vital part of that huge live energy and he will be sorely missed. Same for me, absolutely amazing live and Taylor was a powerhouse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder will the Foo Fighters continue?. Taylor has left some very big boots to fill. RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was extremely obvious that Taylor and Dave were incredibly excited to be playing with their heroes. Jimmy and JPJ seemed to enjoy it almost as much as well. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveXFR Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 I wonder whether Foo Fighters will one day be thought of as one of the all time greats with Zeppelin, Sabbath, Queen etc. Foo Fighters have a lot of filler material but then so did all the other greats. They're certainly the biggest rock band of their generation. I think they might have lasted longer than some of them, certainly longer than Zeppelin or Queen (with Freddie) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would have to have a soul made of Custard not to feel something playing with Page and Jones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, think the Nirvana connection will always overshadow them. Mind you I far prefer them to the three English bands named. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 Foo Fighters (laser gun) Colour and The Shape Nothing Left To Lose 3 wicked albums. February Stars and Aurora absolutely amazing tracks. There are loads to be fair. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 For me it’s not the songs it’s the production, I find their recorded material to be a bit “sterile” sounding compared to their live versions. Live I think they’re great, more than happy to watch a live gig on TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say those other groups (and Nirvana too) are seen as ground-breaking in some way, where as Foo-Fighters are more 'very good/popular at what they do" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 On the topic of Foos material being somewhat inconsistent… I’ve just spent 20 Minutes reading an article on Consequence Of Sound where they rank all 148 (up to 2021) officially released FF tracks. I realised that I haven’t listened to them since that “in your honour” double album. Might give this a go. Here’s the playlist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jezzaboy Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 I have a dvd recorded when they played T in the park in 2011 if I remember right. Great gig especially when Dave threw his black explorer and then tried to play it again and it was well gubbed. What a body of work, so many fantastic tunes, I only hope that after this tragic event they can return in some form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
