Despite, like many, thinking the first few albums were superb back in the day, they have descended into the equivalent of themselves off in front of an audience. As seen by their opening 'song' at glasto this year. FOAD you pretentious twats.

Sorry emperors new clothes......
But since then I just have struggled to get any sort of enjoyment from them - haven't tried that hard mind you but it just seems they are one of those bands that have achieved huge status but on close inspection you have to wonder why.
Also the lead singer Thom York has a man bun and also spells his name Thom and not Tom.

Foo Fighters are boring. Plain and simple. Their only interesting album was their first (which was mainly a demo type deal apparently although I felt the songs were quite accomplished), because it was kinda interesting and different.
Colour and The Shape was where they began to become generic, sure some excellent songs on there like Everlong but it was a move towards a bigger and in my opinion duller sound. From there it was all down hill. Im not a fan at all (except that first album) although I quite like Nirvana. To me the Foo Fighters just don't have the interest/wow factor, and their music just sounds the same in a lot of cases (including the newer big hits). They are not edgy or pushing boundaries in any way, they are just a stadium rock band for the easy listening crowd. They are ok live but certainly not the amazing live band lots of people give them credit for either. Hands down the best work Dave Grohl has done post Nirvana is Queens of the Stone Age. Foos are not even on the radar IMO.

Bought a couple more after that but found it all a bit bland and formulaic & lost interest.
Good set though - he certainly knows how to drive a crowd.

I just watched the Foo Fighters Glastonbury thing - I thought it was wank and I quite like 'em! A bit.

I've been to a lot of gigs over the years but can only begin to imagine how good they must have been in the flesh.
Very envious of all of you who were there...
