For sure, I went to see them at the AECC, and the few songs from those albums actually made up for the 500 hours of new material they puked at me.

Em, maybe listen up to my comments if you're going to have a go, visa ve Biffy.

Havent got a problem with pop bands. Just bands that change their music that isnt naturally appealing to the masses, purely to appeal to the masses.

And they're dull. Not without the odd good song, but overall, dull, and their lyrics don't interest me at all.

I couldn't give a shit where they play. I don't like their material.

I don't that Foo Fighters changed their music to appeal to the masses, just that Dave Grohl forgot how to write good songs.

I wouldn't trust anyone who says Everlong isn't a fantastically brilliant song.

Yeah, thats fine for you. I really only like Everlong and D.O.A and I used to be a big fan, and have a relatively good grasp of a good chunk of their songs.

The entire first album, plus about half of the Color and the Shape in my opinion, although a lot of folk I know rate it as their finest album.

i prefer Husker Du.
Busted were so much better than foo fighters. Given they have split up, i'd say McFly piss all over the Foo's. ...
Actually I might have heard this band rehearsing at Tom's: and they did sound pretty authentic..........................


Dave Grohl lost it when he got his teeth fixed...the big sellout...
