re: Anyone been following Foo Fighter's Sonic Highways?

I love the Foo Fighters and today's rock doesn't have anyone like them anymore really.

They remind me a good bit of Tom Petty in a weird way. Never the biggest band on earth. Never really big in the spotlight. BUT they crank out solid tunes and do things "the right way" and last an eternity. Just basic, solid rock.

Oddly enough, Dave had the chance to be TP's drummer between Nirvana and FF. Weird to think about

I think it was the Nashville episode that they started recording with a little more of a country twang and Dave said that they had to stay true to themselves with sound, even though they had different influences.

Yup. I respect the decision but I can't help but wonder how it would have gone had they decided to just go with it.
