Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace is the sixth studio album by American rock band Foo Fighters, released on September 25, 2007, through Roswell and RCA Records.The album is noted for a blend of regular rock and acoustic tracks with shifting dynamics, which emerged from the variety of styles employed on the demos the band produced. A career where every song sounds pretty much identical? I think to write songs about joy and hope is fucking revolutionary. The drummer of the band, David Grohl, went on to start the Foo-Fighters, an alternative rock band. Kurt killed himself at a relatively high point in Nirvana’s career. but I like my post, albeit a bit misplaced, because I vent about the unfortunate performance by Liam Gallagher at Cal Jam 17 and talk about the real talent of Josh Homme, QOTSA and FF. Agree.............safe, tepid, bland, predicable rock music for those who don't like rock or metal. Who wants to sing about the news? As if you should really give a flying flapjack about that. He was constantly stopping by 10 Downing in the late 90’s and has been quoted saying, “Now David Cameron is no different from Tony Blair and Gordon Brown is no different from David Cameron.” I would have wished he pointed out where Dave Grohl wrote political! The stuff he did with QOTSA was much more interesting and enjoyable. Disagree. dick!” makes you seem a bit ignorant. Foo Fighters had mastered the ability to create a low-energy but melodic verse that creates tension to be released in their explosive, head-banging choruses. I feel like I love Foo Fighters yet find them boring at the same time. I'm finding The Foo Fighters boring!!! The Foo Fighters don’t make music like Nirvana, but just because that happened doesn’t make Dave Grohl a dick. guest on stage or a gentleman behind anyone’s back. What an ungrateful dick! Amazing performers, overrated? It seems that Foo Fighters’ Dave Grohl has some … Hawkins has since rejoined his bandmates, and has just completed recording the drum tracks for the Foo Fighters' new record, the follow-up to 1999's Grammy-nabbing There Is Nothing Left to Lose. I know what Noel is trying to say, but he is not right. Want to something new and exciting? Why radio 1 keeps a$$ kissing the band is beyond me, it borders on a unhealthy obsession. The band has never seemed as at home together as when playing these new songs. Rafael Polcaro. I don’t know much about Queens Of The Stone Age since I only have the album that Dave plays drums on and a few others but they don’t attract me the same as Foo Fighter music! The strings do little to distract from the cookie cutter lyrics and musicianship. Okay. I understand the jab at Grohl, because he admitted Trump was the inspiration for the new album. The group took its name from "Foo fighter", a nickname coined by Allied aircraft pilots for UFOs and other aerial phenomena. Has Noel actually listened to Villains? ...read more. I don’t really have much of an opinion on Josh Homme though as i have only ever bothered to listen to one Queens album. I'm just watching 60 odd thousand fans going nuts over them at T in the park from yesterday. Noel Gallagher says Foo Fighters and QOTSA makes “boring music” By. They’re a band I want to like more than actually like, due to who is in the band. You can’t blame Noel for being a little jealous, maybe. The news is boring. Five months after being hospitalized for what was called an "overindulgence," Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins is healthy, happy and making music with his bandmates once again. They’re a band I want to like more than actually like, due to who is in the band. ©2020 Hearst UK is the trading name of the National Magazine Company Ltd, 30 Panton Street, Leicester Square, London, SW1Y 4AJ. No politics. One of the best songs on the album! He’s saying the right things, but in the wrong ways…. Not at all. I like this new Foo Fighters album quite a lot :) (Disclaimer: I listened to this a couple of days before it was officially out) (Also be prepared, this is a long one) Foo Fighters is an alternative rock band founded in 1994, by former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl and was initially a one-man project. Fine playing but dull, one-dimensional and with very, very few … What a load of old toot. Saying that, i would have to agree that the Foo Fighters are pretty damn dull. It’s not staying troo to Da Foo? My brother would whole-heartedly disagree with you OP. Beautiful really. Musically, you really can’t get much more boring than Noel Gallagher. And as Dave told NME a few weeks ago, it was never part of the Foo Fighters game plan to end up in Planet Rock’s premier league, either. I don’t need to see the same points regurgitated by everyone from late night hosts to Hollywood celebs to guitar heroes. Didn't watch the Glasto coverage but I saw Foo Fighters at T In The Park a few years ago & I agree. I liked the first two albums, and the odd song now and again. Foo Fighters are pretty dull and should’ve called it a day after ‘One by One’. It really is the classic Foo Fighters, but it isn’t boring.

I think they are going through the same sort of period that the red hot chili peppers did a few years back. I feel like I love Foo Fighters yet find them boring at the same time. If anyone has been political, it’s Noel! I DID, however, see this clueless CLOWN LOOSER Noel Gallagher get up on stage and make a complete ass of himself after being graciously invited by Dave to sing a Beatles song during the Foo Fighters set…he was late to stage, Dave had to call him several times…not only did he miss his que to guest sing one single song but then didn’t even know the words to “Come Together” and had the f***ing NERVE to read the lyrics off a sheet of paper!!!!!!!!! What an ungrateful Foo Fighters is an American rock band formed in Seattle, Washington in 1994. Finally, ‘Looser’ means something that is less tight; ‘Loser’ only has one o, and you meant ‘cue’ when you wrote ‘que’. Criticism no.1: The Foo Fighters have got no songs “Has there ever been a major, stadium-level band who have gotten this far with so few great songs?” you say. So why would you want to write music about that [stuff]? Green Day, and the guy from Queens of the Stone Age, what are they shouting about?
