Nivana Vs Foo Fighters

[Bjornebye]

That's like saying Oasis wrote more than one and a half good LPs.

 

They did. 

[Pureblood]

They did.

Okay, one and three fifths but I don't see the point in splitting hairs over this.

My initial thoughts on 1st listen is its bland as fuck and will mostly be cut from my Iphone.

 

Still, I'll give it a few more proper spins before hacking it to pieces.

[Boss]

The Foo Fighters surpassed Nirvana a long time ago in being a soulless corporate Rock Band™. The whole ethos of Nirvana was against that. They took the piss out of rock n roll. They were there to destroy the likes of Axel Rose for being totally up his own arse, whereas Dave secretly harboured desires to be Axel Rose. That's the fundamental difference.

I guess that's the problem with downloading stuff for free, its more disposable when you haven't paid for it as you haven't invested anything in it.

 

Not a knock but a general point. I'll check it out when it's officially released. Have actually enjoyed the last couple of albums. Some fillers but not more than most bands releases these days.

 

Albums from established bands is all about generating interest for the tour these days.

Boss knows.

 

And Mudhoney are miles better than both of them.

Just listening to Concrete & Gold at maximum output and I fully agree with this.

 

Except GNR, Motley Crue etc had an element of danger & unpredictability to them.

 

This Foo's album is the definition of phoning it in - Run is very good, Sky Is A Neighbourhood, The Line & La-Dee-Dah are alright but the rest....slow start, semi-heavy and rousing chorus, repeat repeat repeat. Yawn.

 

Foo Fighters - the rock band for people who don't like rock music.

 

Changed to Prophets Of Rage new album, already got more balls in the 1st 2 songs.

[Pureblood]

Foo Fighters - the rock band for people who don't like rock music.

 

Like Oasis were the indie band for people who didn't like indie music.

[Lee909]

I like some FF stuff.

Think people are having a dig just to have a dig to be honest. Far more bands worthy of derision than them.

 

Guns was a far better band than Nirvana too. May not have lasted all that long but that Original line up was as good as you'll find in terms of chemistry

[Juniper]

Yeah I like rock music and I like the Foos.

 

Nirvana and The Foo Fighters are completely different bands, even different genres. Dave Grohl doesn't even try and be Kurt Cobian so not sure why people constantly feel the need to compare them.

 

Ps. Motley Crue are - and have always been - shite.

I agree with this.  But I still don't like Dave Grohl's face, or the music his band makes. 

[Juniper]

I agree with this. But I still don't like Dave Grohl's face, or the music his band makes.

And that's perfectly fine. Each to their own.

[El Rojo]

Good call.

 

I love the album The Very Best Of Mudhoney.

[clarkie]

Foo fighters for me.

[PestiRed]

And in tomorrow's episode, we'll be asking whether Wings were better than the Beatles

Wings? They're only the band The Beatles could have been.

I’ve know Nirvana pretty much my whole life and it’s only just dawned on my I’ve never listed to the original ‘Love Buzz’

 

 

Its alright.

I ended up on a day out with Taylor too many years back to call them recent, a few pints in Manchester when the Colour & Shape was out.

 

it was great, but, well, ‘conversation’ was pretty much one way. He had the hottest woman with him, she was most certainly not his wife, who was whispering sweet nothings in his lughole.

 

Oh, to be a rockstar...

[polymerpunkah]

"The Coattail Riders"

 

ha ha

 

"The Band" redux.

If you want some more decent Dutch 60s stuff you may not have heard check out Q65 and the Outsiders. Some of the Nederbeat stuff is boss.
