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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

Found the best i could find on Youtube of Dave's birthday bash.

Wrongway1985

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
