I look down on people that like Foo Fighters.

Now see, that is sort of fricked up.

I will say, however, that I don't have much respect for the taste of those that are really into geography bands: Boston, Kansas, Chicago, Alabama, Asia, etc. Amazing how consistently awful and/or boring they are. Maybe it's because if a band isn't creative enough to come up with a name other than a place (usually where they're from), they are going lack creativity generally.

I noticed you left out Europe, which is good, because they are awesome.

Chicago's early stuff was awesome. Kansas had some really good songs, not all of it was their more popular stuff. "The Wall" is one of my favorite songs of any genre. Bostons self titled was awesome for a teen back in the day.

Is Foo done?

Looks like just another publicity stunt.

No way. Dave and the boys wouldn't do that

I like the Foo Fighters well enough, but Dave Grohl is one of the best hard rock/heavy metal drummers on earth today. Even though he had some huge records, it always felt like he was wasting his time being in a band that was Wings to Nirvana's Beatles. I would love to see him join Queens of the Stone Age or form a new supergroup.

Is that the same John Theodore who used to be in Mars Volta? Guy is a hell of a drummer. I didn't know he was in QOTSA.

Agree 100%

Never got the appeal

I'm a big Foo Fighters fan. Have been since I listened to The Colour and the Shape. I'm not going to comment on other people's opinions on them because music is so objective that it's a waste of time (but I think the awards they collected over the years speaks for the quality of the band).

I think their early stuff is really good. I could see how folks have gotten bored with them, but I do think their sound changed over the years. I'll still listen to everything they put out regardless.
