Heard an interview recently about Dave Grohl not liking the idea of bands playing albums in full now I'm not keen on it either there can be exceptions to a certain extent obviously.

For all the club shows before the release of Wasting Light the first half was Wasting Light in full, the problem the Foos have is that they are very big with a lot of "fair weather" fans so a lot of even headline shows are the equivalent of a festival show for other bands so have to play the crowd pleasers. They have said they hate Learn To Fly yet play it at almost every show I have ever seen them at.

I would love to see Pearl Jam try make an album like this (minus the tv show)

Lithium93_ · 14-11-2014 1:43am

This was confirmed by Dave Grohl this afternoon on Rick O' Shea's show on 2FM.

We are playing Slane Castle on May 30th next year . . . I probably wasn't meant to say it but I just did.

Wrongway1985 · 14-11-2014 1:58pm

Threw me hat at that Kickstarter project find out on Monday if it's going ahead.

Might be in the very low percentage but i have to say im loving the new Foo's record . I think after watching each episode and seeing where the song comes from helps

I completely agree, I love the lyrics and the meaning behind them all.

I wasn't too fond of the songs when I heard them individually but listening to them collectively they sound better. I'm really enjoying the TV series as well and as you say, seeing how the song comes together makes you appreciate it a bit more maybe.

kaiser chiefs and hozier added to the bill at slane , really disappointed to be honest 7 years ago Foos played marley and nearly sold it out 4 days later the chiefs played a sold out show in the same venue how times change but anyway I like both supports just not for this bill
on sale Monday €79.50 plus fees

danrua01 · 26-11-2014 11:09am

Bit too pricey for myself, which is a pity because I saw them a the Point on their One By One tour and it was an EXCELLENT show.

Furious-Red · 26-11-2014 6:39pm

Kaiser Chiefs will def get the crowd going before the Foo's , Hozier is perfect (if we get nice weather) to chilax with a few beers and enjoy some blues

Lithium93_ · 26-11-2014 9:50pm

Will probably skip Slane and go see the Foo's in England, €80 is a bit pricey, and not too pushed on the support bands either.

grames_bond · 27-11-2014 1:07pm

UK get Royal Blood ansd Iggy & The Stooges
WE get Hozier and Kaiser Chiefs

I know who go the raw end of that deal!

Guarantee you it'll be two crap bands that the promoter gets on the cheap. Any decent bands would have been announced at this stage. In Ireland promoters get away with much weaker lineups for gigs like this than in other countries as the majority of people will go anyway to see the headliner.

I hope I'm wrong!

:p

I've watched all but the last two episodes of Sonic Highways, and have enjoyed all the songs up until now when preceded by the stories of the Cities they were created in. But honestly, as an album, it's really quite poor.

Dave Grohl should definitely keep making documentaries though.

Lithium93_ · 11-01-2015 12:34pm

Would love to see decent footage of that entire gig. Looks like it was amazing.

More self-indulgent sideshows hardly surprising really

They're getting like Camp Freddy now.

The Foos don't know whether they want to sound like Tom Petty or a heavier Eagles or a plain heavy rock band.

Make up your mind.

Or just let them do what they like, and if you don't like it, don't listen to it

Next 2 shows have been cancelled

nilsonmickey · 16-06-2015 8:11am

I was at the gig in Göteborg. Was desperate. Good enough for him I say.

Furious-Red · 17-06-2015 1:03am

European/UK tour cancelled (including Glasto)

Lithium93_ · 17-06-2015 4:09pm

I'd imagine those who had tickets for the Foos Wembley gig and the rest of their UK run will be seriously disappointed, and probably damning Dave for falling off stage and breaking his leg.

But **** happens, so hopefully Dave makes a speedy recovery and they'll be back touring with the cancelled dates rescheduled.

Lithium93_ · 23-06-2015 1:57pm

New album already in the works

Had tickets for Wembley... say if I didn't see them in Slane, I'd have been crying my little heart out.

But Blur were playing in Hyde Park that evening, so got to see them instead.

Hope Dave gets back to full health swiftly!

Didn't go, the opportunity to see Mastodon popped up, so saw Mastodon instead, will see Foo Fighters when and if they eventually roll around to Ireland again.

They're now playing Murrayfield and Milton Keynes in September to make up for the cancelled shows.

jack presley · 31-07-2015 5:55pm

I thought this video was pretty cool. Seems to have worked too as DG just posted a response (in Italian) saying that he promises they will play there.

The entirety of Foo Fighters’ Million Dollar Demos tape leaks online.... An early version of the band's seminal 2002 album, One By One.

Recently, the entirety of what has come to be known as the Million Dollar Demos surfaced on Reddit. As the story goes, inner-band turmoil nearly forced Foo Fighters to break up whilst recording their 2002 album One By One. Ultimately, they recorded two different versions of the album, the latter of which was the one released to the public. The other version has remained unreleased, though various tracks from it have leaked over time.

The Million Dollar Demos contains 11 tracks, 10 of which were considered for the album. Of those 10, three were officially released: “Tired Of You”, “Walking A Line”, and “Normal”. Two others, “Have It All” and “Come Back” later leaked online.

22-08-2015 11:19pm

One by One was when I stopped listening to foo fighters , after hearing those during the week I'd still have stopped listening to them. Not having a dig at them just what they've made since then hasn't been for me.

Sonic Highways Part 2? New Album? I can't see how they'd have time to do either as they've been on the road for ages though.
