Foo Fighters (cds, album, Nirvana, quote, band)

**boo boo** · 04-05-2008, 02:32 PM

Well, I don't really care for their new stuff because it HAS gotten repetitive. But I really liked their album The Colour And The Shape. Everlong is one song I really love and I don't mind that it gets played on the radio a lot.

Most stuff since then has been hit or miss with me however, Learn to Fly is certainly one song I'd never care to listen to ever again, which sadly won't stop radio stations from playing it until the f*cking end of time. And I actually do agree that the best post Nirvana thing Grohl has been involved in would be QOTSA.

I'm glad you at least recognise that Grohl is talented, and yes I would like to see him put that talent to more good use.

I should really get back to my original point. I don't think Dave Grohl keeps proving who the most talented member of Nirvana was because his songwriting leaves so much to be desired compared to Kurt's. Even RezZ a fan has admitted they don't make inventive music and while Nirvana didn't either at least they were doing something different from what was making money at the time and Kurt Cobain really didn't care so much about pleasing the masses with Nirvana as Grohl does with the Foo Fighters. I mean he could've easily made Nevermind part 2 but instead he delivered In Utero and even fought his record company (though sadly lost) for the mixing to stay the way Albini had had it which probably wouldn't have pleased all the hair metal fans gone grunge.

I also think In Utero is a far superior album to anything Grohl's written and I'm mad hungry right now so if someone wants me to expand on this too I will.

Theres more to talent than just songwriting.

**sleepy jack** · 04-05-2008, 03:06 PM

Grohl is probably a better guitarist (and better at whatever else he plays) than Cobain as well as a better vocalist but until he starts utilizing this I'm not going to say his music's better.

**boo boo** · 04-05-2008, 03:13 PM

I never said his music is better. Because I don't think it is.

I'd take Nirvana over Foo Fighters any day of the week.

I know and someone had posted "and Dave Grohl continually proves who the most talented member of Nirvana was." which I was responding to but I got mixed up that was another thread. My rant in here was about the ridiculous amount of Foo Fighters hype they've gotten. I still don't think they're one of the greatest bands of their time, not even close.

I agree with you there. We will not resolve this argument though, because it is simply i think his music is fun and catchy and you do not. I see where you are coming from i just disagree with your particular taste in the instance.

Some bands you don't like are popular, thats the way of the world.

I don't have a problem with them being popular I have a problem with saying they're one of the best bands ever.

That goes with being popular.
