re: Is there a more sterile, generic, non-threatening band than Foo Fighters?

I really don't understand how someone could like Foo Fighters more than Nirvana.

I don't think they do. One just has been around for 20 years while Nirvana was only nationally relevant for 3-4 years. They of course remained relevant after Cobain's death, but they weren't recording new music.

I don't get the Foo Fighter hate? Old people are usually safe?

Do you expect Grohl to bite the head off of a bat onstage? They aren't 25. They have mellowed. We all do. Rage Against the Machine doesn't rage anymore. At least Morello doesn't. That fricking singer does I believe.

People have to realize that artists are going to put out their most relevant shite in their 20-30's. After that you may have glimpses and spots of greatness. People say Bowie's last album was great? He was near death and near 70. But people are still gonna go back to Ziggy Stardust.
