    Oooh if Foos got Weezer over it'd be unreal. Hopefully not just an Oz/NZ thing.

    Have a feeling it will only be Oz/NZ :(

    Who knows, maybe the small your Weezer are doing next month is just a warm up for more next year.

    yeah a few good tracks but some are a bit dower, like Run, Sunday Rain, Make It Right and arrows

    still ill hopefully see them when/if they tour around here, there classics like Learn To Fly, Monkey Wrench, Everloing etc cant be beaten

    Personally, I think it's a return to form.  I like it lots :)

    Without doubt, bland release here again better than the last one is the best remark I can give it at this point but that was absolutely woeful.

    Baffled by the write ups I've seen on it seem to be pretty positive, but I guess that would go against the Foos saviors of rock agenda some outlets seem to strive.

    If it weren't for Grohl's previous band and knack for a talking point they would be glossed over by the mainstream now and joining the likes of Suede,Jimmy Eat World,Ash,Garbage(nothing wrong with these bands btw) etc still releasing music but playing academies and getting next to no airplay these days.

    The first listen of concrete & gold I didn't think much of it but played the album through a few times and really like can't get the sky is a neighbourhood out of my head.
    Has anyone watched their carpool karaoke?

    That's probably the best song on the album. I think it's their weakest album since One by One..

    Paul McCartney is on the drums in Sunday Rain I think also Justin Timberland is on another track

    Have given it a couple of listens and I think the first two thirds are decent enough and then it trails off. It's definitely better than the last one anyway, of which I can remember very little.

    I liked the album bar maybe one or two songs which aren't bad just lacks a punch .

    Foos played a few songs on Jools Holland last night .
    Definitely one of those very few bands who sound better live

    Their live show and the quality of some of their early stuiff puts them a peg or two above those bands imo.

    The first two Suede albums piss on everything Foo Fighters ever did (with the exception of The Color and the Shape to some extent, which has its moments). Otherwise Foo Fighters are just boring, bland rock music for normies.

    Which contains about 90 minutes of songs and 30 minutes of extended jams within them.

    I still think the first FF (Dave solo?) album has a certain dark, melancholy vibe to it that usually brings me back every so often. But the writing was definitely on the wall from the release of 'The Colour and the Shape' as to the direction Dave wanted to go. Big!

    The last ten years have been a steady stream of over wrought, shouty nonsense.

    Just watched the FF's rockumentary on Netflix..

    It is a great watch ! Didnt think it was possible to like D.G more, but you will after watching it. A damn good rocker too.
    Loved it.
