Fri Jun 11 2010Great band, does a wide variety of songs and styles brilliantly, from 'All my Life' to the Skins and Bones 'Times like these' Grohl is a fantastic front man, and a great drummer, a inspired song writer and one of the nicest guys in Rock, Best all round musician alive today.

Mon Apr 19 2010AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME rock band. I would pay good money to see these guys live. There are so many good songs that I just LOVE from this band. My favourite has to be "All My Life".

Mon Apr 19 2010A good to very good rock band but indie/alternative? They are on RCA records, one of the biggest labels in the world and book through Live Nation Entertainment Inc., the large predatory agents that lock up all of the major North American venues and force tickets to be sold through their TicketMaster subsidiary, except for those tickets that get siphoned off to their TicketsNow reseller at a 200% mark-up. That's what passes for the independent spirit of Rock and Roll these days. Street cred goes for $100+ a seat.

Fri Aug 29 2008best sense of humor in a rock band
by halcyonstorm
Tue Aug 05 2008There are just so many things that I love about the Foo Fighters. Definitely Grohls best work, far exceeding his accomplishments with Nirvana. Mendel, Hawkins and Shiflett also contribute some impressive talent. Foo Fighters has consistently churned out music that makes me happy and I am thrilled with every new release.

Fri Jun 02 2006One of the few contemporary rock bands worth bothering with as they have a strong melodic sense combined with power. Most rock bands to day can either do melody like Coldplay but are limp or they have aggression but are tuneless e.g. Trivium. Some Foo tunes don't always hit the mark but when they do they're excellent.

Thu Oct 28 2004Dave Grohl is awesome
by jackofclubs
Fri May 07 2004Don't know everything of theirs but I think David Grohl is just a go-getter when it comes to musical exploration and what i've heard really has a nice mix of rebellious edginess and quality. Grohl's former band Nirvana had the rebelliousness but they just didn't sound good, at least in my opinion, all my friends disagreed with me.

Sun May 02 2004A really cool band 'My Hero' is their best song.
by poisonfire
Wed Mar 24 2004As with Jane's Addiction, the only thing I even remotely like about them are some of their videos. It's clear that Dave Grohl's got a sense of humor, which is good and that I also like, but the music could be made a lot better.

Sat Aug 09 2003I totally disagree with RebelYell1861...I think the Foo Fighters have gotten better and better. Over time, Dave Grohl has proven himself to be an amazingly talented, versatile musician and songwriter. I think that over time, he has proven himself to be just as talented, perhaps even more so, than his late ex-bandmate Kurt Cobain (and that's a major compliment). The rest of the band is amazing too. The Foo Fighters' catalog is filled with strong songwriting and lyrics, great musicianship, and a diverse array of musical styles. Plus, Dave Grohl continues to prove his drumming skills by backing up bands like Queens of the Stone Age, who are amazing in their own right.

Thu Jun 12 2003All My life is my fav foo fighters song. They are wonderful and nice and angsty.
by darkjedi16978
Sat Jun 07 2003These guys kick ass. First of al,they are the best live band out there right now.They play old favorites and new favorites along with Dave Grohl's great sense of humor mixed in. The first album was influenced by Nirvana,sure. He just left them. Once the Colour and the Shape came, you could tell they were a different band altogether. Everlong has great guitars and some of the best lyrics I have ever heard."Breathe out,so I can breathe you in.Hold you in..."-Everlong.Tell me that isn't a great line. There Is Nothing Left To Lose is another totally different album than the first two.It has a more laid back sound to it, but it does feature the sam attitude as the other albums. They were never really an angry band,but never really poppy either. Songs like Breakout,Generator,Learn To Fly,and Gimme Stitches may seem pop at first, but the guitars tell you that they are truly rock.These songs are way better when performed live,too.Another reason to see them in concert.They are worth every penn...

Tue May 13 2003They were great when I saw 'em live back in 2000. But like so many other bands, their new stuff just ain't as good as their old stuff. Any band that encompasses a former part of Nirvana must be good....

Mon May 12 2003old foo fighters, EXCELLENT. new foo fighters, pure crap with good drums.
by pontificator
Sat Mar 22 2003Atrocious band. Emblematic of the pathetic, idea-starved post-grunge era. They make safe, radio-friendly rubbish with thoughtless lyrics and try to pass that off as rock n roll. Puh-leeze. Ever heard of that visceral, primal yet erudite band of yore... what's their name again? I think it started with an N. Oh, well.

Fri Feb 15 2002When a band works with Brian May, I have to check them out. And as far as this one goes, I'm glad I did. My favorite song by the good ol' FF is "Stitches"...no particular reason except that it's catchy and---ta-da!---it has a purpose. Taylor Hawkin is a great musician and in general a great guy...I hear him quoted by the gay rights activists a lot. Sure, the Foo Fighters (how in the name of all that's unholy did they come up with that name?) have only been around a few years, but having joined the music industry in the same year that *NSANE (oh, sorry, I meant *NSYNC) did, I predict the FF outmusic them by about...oh, I don't know...20 years? 30? Whatever. Overall, this is a pretty good band with catchy tunes and very few flaws, and I can see why Brian May would do a few tracks with them (go away, Limp Bizkit). Take care, everyone!

Wed Jun 27 2001i know hardly anything about them but what i've heard of their music is pretty good.
by rottenapple
Tue Apr 03 2001Some people think the foofighters are just like Nirvana. But they are not! They jst kick A$$ in another way than nirvana did and thats why I like them! Their music is fantastic!!
by aliens36
Sun Mar 11 2001Foo Fighters gave me the reason to start playing guitar. Dave Grohl has got to be one of the best frontmen, right up there with Kurt Cobain and James Hetfield! How many artists do you know that can sing lead, play lead guitar, backup guitar, write good songs, and play drums! Thanx Dave.

by hayley
Sun Jan 28 2001These guys have produced some great alternative style music. Their latest stuff, eg "Learn to Fly", "Generator", etc is really great. It has a good sound to it and you don't get sick of it like you do with some music.
