I just wish he would release a fucking album already. He's released a new song every year for two years now, each with an album release date then he pushes it back indefinitely.

Well, if Nicolas Wingding Redfern created a Facebook group for it, it must be true!

A generic riff and dancing? Okay, man.

Bro, quit owning me! I can only be owned so hard by your witty retorts that clearly show zero signs of fragile masculinity!

Good comment. Really showed me.

While that's true, he's also become an entitled asshole that believes because he was able to pull himself up by his bootstraps, everyone else should too. It's a bullshit perspective that completely disregards the disenfranchised.

At first, I was going to say that support groups and meet-ups are often the "safe spaces" you're talking. But you tipped your hand at what you really think with that last sentence. Please go fuck yourself.

While I enjoy "Wasting Light" and think it's the best of latter-day FF, there's something about it that kind of rings false. Like a lot of Grohl's lyrics, it kind of comes off as a mixture of platitudes and poetic gobbledigook, minus "I Should Have Known," which I think might be the most emotional song he wrote since

That's not surprising. Two white guys feeling victimized, preach victimization to other white guys.

It's all good. He has some extra folk to round out the sound when they tour like Rami Jafee and Petra Haden. But it's pretty much the core group of guys, like you said, with Smear showing up when he wants.

He fired Franz Stahl during the same album cycle. The rest of the band has been with him for at least 15 years, with Nate Mendel being there since it evolved from a glorified demo to a real band. In the end, it's Dave Grohl's baby, but it stopped being a revolving door of musicians after "Colour and the Shape."

He admitted in the doc that he was a control freak back then. Don't know how much he is now, but it was clear he had regrets about how he treated Goldsmith.

As a Foo Fighters fan, I talk to more people that just know and appreciate them for their singles than their albums. After the initial three albums, there's just not a lot to talk about or dig into. There's good songs and filler.

Eh, was Foo Fighters at least had the sense to save the other members' songs for the B-sides, except for Taylor Hawkins's Eagles song.

No, stay! It's all good in some comments!

I think Dave Grohl and Bob Mould would agree. It's probably why they got Bob Mould to do a song with them.

While I don't think it's as good as TCATS, I still love "There Is Nothing Left to Lose" and "Wasting Light." The rest have a smattering of good songs with a lot of filler.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure he's confirmed this.

And the X-Files version was the better one.

The thing is, both those guys could fund this themselves, but they know it's easier to pass the buck to their fans. They're the worst and their shitty Mencia-like parody of college couldn't be more off.
