Foo Fighters - Sonic Highways

[TobiasFunke]

Awesome that naked raygun got so much exposure and Steve albini is the man.

They talk about Naked Raygun? Awesome! I gotta watch this special.

[nate]

Yeah.  It was the first band Dave Grohl ever saw live.  They have 7 more episodes.  I can't wait.

[TobiasFunke]

Was he born in Chicago? I know he's from Northern VA and was a part of the DC scene being in Scream. I figure he would have seen a DCHC band first.

[nate]

No, he is from VA.  He visited family in Chicago when he was a teenager and his cousin was into the scene.

 

Some of the Naked Raygun stuff was cool but I was most interested in the Muddy Waters/Buddy Guy stuff.  Plus, nothing better than some Cheap Trick.

[TobiasFunke]

I hate Cheap Trick

[nate]

You are evil

[CaliAngel]

Love Dave Grohl, intelligent guy, glad he's still making music.

 

Colour and the Shape is a great album.

 

I haven't really felt the same about any of Foos releases since.

Foo will play Wrigley Field Aug 29th 2015.

Foo will play Wrigley Field Aug 29th 2015.

Thanks for the update. Stay on topic, stupid.

[RallyMo]

Already trying to figure out possible travel plans...

I want to hear a new song and watch Friday's episode, already!

I saw the Foo Fighters open for Mike Watt at SDSU in 1995.  I think it was the first time the Foos had toured and nobody including myself knew anything about them except that Grohl was the lead man in the group. 

 

Side note, Eddie Vedder was playing guitar for Watt at this gig and his wife's band Hovercraft opened the show.  

 

I am a casual Foo Fighter's fan.  I love that Grohl achieved great success after Nirvana.

[Tank]

i hope none of you will take your kids with you to see the foo fighters. that just leads to your kids thinking they have a life of privilege and you just help feed the myth to them that they should enjoy things like this. what a waste of time and money and america.

Would be better than wasting your money on that Cal team

[xboom28x]

So Naked Raygun, Cheap Trick and Urge Overkill open for Foo Fighters at Wrigley. I wonder if this will be a theme in each city this summer. If so, I may have to make travel plans just like Rally.

 

Hoping to hear of another song released today.

Any money I spend watching Cal is not wasted. I loves me my Bears.

 

Nice post, stupid.

So is the plan to have concerts in each city they cover with the artists they cover on the show?

 

If so, I cannot wait for the inevitable show with Seattle greats Harvey Danger.

 

Also, the La Habra show with Zebrahead is going to be epic.

 

Can't wait...

[TobiasFunke]

Naked Raygun playing Wrigley? Is this real life?

[Angels_Make_Me_Drink]

New song available for download, The Feast and the Famine.

Can hear the punk rock influence. Can't wait for the episode tomorrow night for the background. Should be a good live song.

[xboom28x]

Not as psyched about it as I was "Something From Nothing" but it's still a solid tune

[nate]

I think I like this new song more than the last one.

If you get a chance check out Foo Fighters - Back and Forth documentary.  It is really cool and he talks about how his first tour was with Hovercraft and Mike Watt.  Vedder and Grohl played in Watt's band and they both opened for him.

After listening to it a few times it is my favorite new song to come out in a very long time.  Absolutely love this song.

[xboom28x]

I will probably have your reaction later. It hasn't hit me as quickly as SFN did, but I'm sure once I put it on repeat this afternoon here at work, I'll like it more.

[Angels_Make_Me_Drink]

Thoughts on last night's episode?

 

Loved it. I love watching the song come together from the area influence and the artists from that area. What city is next?

[nate]

It was ok.  Not a huge fan of the bands they featured.  Definitely not a fan of the CJ Wilson of punk.
