The best one was when they guy picked up that one thing and Dave was like "What the fuck is that? Did you pay money for that??"Dave's "solo" owned  I'm not wild about Jackson United either... they're kind of boring... reminds me of Blink when Mark sings... Chris's voice does, that is. |
| ladyramone Post Whore  Age: - Gender: Female Posts: 21701 |  my cousin came over on sunday, the five year old who is obsessed with the foos because of moi. he saw my msn background (it's the foo fighters ff symboly thing) and he was like "look nancy, duh foo fighters! can we listen to duh foo fighters?" I love him |
| High Fidelity Falling In Love With The Board Age: 33 Gender: Female Posts: 7797 | ladyramone: Well, at least he knows what good music sounds like. |
| Janie Jones Falling In Love With The Board  Age: 34 Gender: Female Posts: 5438 | ladyramone: That's adorrrable. My cousins aren't allowed to listen to anything harsher than the Beatles. And even that's pushing it.  I don't know if I'll be getting the DVD...possibly but not for sure so if you feel like ripping some of the interesting parts for me, love...well, Foo is always welcome here. I KNOW THE JOKE SUCKED. THAT'S WHY I PUT [lame joke] AFTER IT. phool.  |
| The Fool On The Hill Had A Life Before GSB  Age: 34 Gender: Female Posts: 26154 |  I can't figure out how to do it. The DVD must be copyrighted or protected and shit Sorry Annie. You should definitely get it if you can. Its worth it. It's really good. |

Unlike a lot of other bands, they aren’t precious about psyching up for a show, or demand privacy. They remain in the same room, they crack jokes, and his best friend Dave Grohl comes up with hilarious anecdotes. A constant flow of people wander in and out even as the Foos work out their set list. “This can be Grand Central sometimes and it can suck,” Hawkins said. “But we like that vibe. I once met Manic Street Preachers and they were real dickheads. I really liked their album Everything Must Go. We were on the same festival, I went into their area, and chatted with, uh, the drummer or the singer. The rest of the band came in, and he said, `you better go’. I thought he was kidding. But it was like, `no serious, you gotta go’.” Mention of the Preachers sparked the discussion how they refused to have sex for their first three years, to preserve their creative juices. John Frusciante of the Chili Peppers also abstains when recording. Did the Foos ever discuss doing something similar? “A lot of people see creativity as a message from God,” he snorted. “We don’t take ourselves that seriously. I warm up before I play. But I won’t not have sex because I want to ... (snigger) save my mojo. Athletes do it, and there might be some truth in it. But I’d rather have sex with my wife than have a good show (laughs).” The expanded eight piece Foo Fighters were in Detroit as part of a run of acoustic shows with Bob Dylan, who has a hotshot new band and brought back songs such as Tangled Up In Blue into the set. If you missed out on seeing the Foos at the Sydney Opera House over three nights recently, fret not. Hawkins says they’ll be back in Australia in 2007. The Opera shows saw them incorporate violin, piano, mandolin and accordion on songs from disc two of In Your Honor and rework their classics. Grohl also pulled out a Nirvana song he wrote, Marigold, the b-side to the 1993 single, Heart-Shaped Box, which he’d never performed live. “Sydney had the best vibe of all the gigs we’ve done, I mean that,” Taylor emphasises. “It was a live sounding room, obviously designed for opera singers without microphones, and it worked.” However, the Foos’ new live CD and DVD Skin And Bones, were culled from three sold-out performances at Los Angeles’ Pantages Theater. It’s the oldest theatre in LA, and it’s where Hawkins saw his first concert when he was five (a Beatles tribute called Beatlemania). The album has been followed by a DVD with five additional songs and some extras. Grohl recently said that doing the acoustic sessions added 10 years to the Foos career. What did he mean by that? “It’s not a direction. It’s a frame of mind that we don’t have to restrict ourselves to a style or sound. That excites me. We don’t want to do acoustic records forever. But at least in our realm, nothing is too much. We won’t have DJs onstage, or loops or backing tracks. That’d goes against our ethos. That is, if you can’t do it onstage, don’t fucking do it.” INterview with Taylor.. I love the part where he's all like "I'd rather fuck my wife than play a show." . |
| Janie Jones Falling In Love With The Board Age: 34 Gender: Female Posts: 5438 | That cracked me up. That's the Taylor we know and love.  Him and his "mojo"...Fru doesn't have sex while recording? haha. That strikes me as funny, while somehow not unexpected. WHICH REMINDS ME THAT I TOTALLY SAW THE VIDEO FOR SNOW TODAY - *goes off to Chili Peppers thread* |
| The Fool On The Hill Had A Life Before GSB Age: 34 Gender: Female Posts: 26154 | Don't you go ditching us for the Foo. WAH. I love those Tay/Nate pics posted on my story. *goes foo site to get them* I think Nate/Taylor may just be my 2nd fave pairing.. besides Dave/Tay ofc.      I think the last 3 pics may just be my favoritest pictures ever LOVEEE |
| Janie Jones Falling In Love With The Board Age: 34 Gender: Female Posts: 5438 | Oh heck yesss, what have I been telling you all along? Nate/Tay is glorious! I can't decide if I like that or 1989-1991 Anth/John better...hahaha. But one of those is second for me and one is third. D/T being first goes without saying, of course. Ohh, but I forgot Kurt... That last picture is the sweetest thing ever. They're like 2 little kids with a secret fort. |
| High Fidelity Falling In Love With The Board Age: 33 Gender: Female Posts: 7797 | Taylor/Nate love  Good stuff. No Grammy Noms. for Foo this year?!  |
| Janie Jones Falling In Love With The Board Age: 34 Gender: Female Posts: 5438 | Some of the BEST stuff.  I guess not...well, what would they have been nominated for? *think think* They had a buncha nominations last year but I think it's a rule that if an award can physically be given to U2, it will, so everyone else is out of luck. |
| The Fool On The Hill Had A Life Before GSB Age: 34 Gender: Female Posts: 26154 | Janie Jones: . I know! I wanna climb up there and snuggle with Taylor *looks again* SQUEE. I wanna do something with that picture. I wish it were bigger so I could put it on my desktop.. bvut my desktop is Dave/Tay love right now  1. Dave/Tay 2. Nate/ Tay 3. Billie/Tre I think tha'ts it. Kurt and Dave didn't really do anyhting that expressed their love hahha. It's fun to read though so I guess I'll say that's 4. Ppfft. The Foo should get grammies.. but they'll get grammies in our hearts |
| High Fidelity Falling In Love With The Board Age: 33 Gender: Female Posts: 7797 | Janie Jones:So true. Well D.O.A. and No Way Back were released as singles after last years Grammys... I dunno. |
| High Fidelity Falling In Love With The Board Age: 33 Gender: Female Posts: 7797 | The Fool On The Hill: I totally agree with your list.Apparently, Kurt and Dave weren't very good friends at all. He said in that one Rolling Stone article that they didn't talk all that much or anything, they pretty much just made music together. Won't be on 'til Sunday night. Going to the Rock Hall! Woooh!  Adios Foobies! |
| The Fool On The Hill Had A Life Before GSB Age: 34 Gender: Female Posts: 26154 | AHHHGJDFHLGS You better tell us, (at least me since I've neer been there ) all about it when you get back. I hope you have a blast!  Yeah Dave is kinda a schizo when he talks about Kurt. He says that they had a great time and that Kurt was the funniest guy ever sometimes, and then other times he said that he didn't have fun with the band and that it seemed more like work to him. I think Taylor said the same thing about being in Alanis, that it wasn't fun, as opposed to being just a job and work. AH! The FOAF speech .Dave*talking about one of his first phone convos with Kurt* : "Oh yeah.. we were just at this really lame shitty fucking party and we had all this beer and it was like a hot chocolate party and some girl played the most lame fucking depressing shit ever." Kurt: "Oh, that's my girlfriend." . I love Dave's face after it when he's giggling and laughing.Dave: "Whooops. *mumbling* Guess I'm not going to Seattle anytime soon" . Dammit. I really wanna rip it for Annie but I can't figure out how.*Dave talking about when he first saw Kurt and Krist at the baggage claim in Seattle* "I was like .... Oh no! This is going to be horrible. They're weird!" and then he tells about how Krist is like [--------------------------------------] that tall *motions like 5 feet above him* and Kurt's about [---] this short *motions about 2 feet below him* . TURTLLEEESSSS. *bangs head against microphone* "Kurt had these turtles in this weird aquarium thing.. which he thought...were happy... but they really weren't. I know because I slept in the same room as them and every night at midnight the turtles with their hard shell head thingys would try to get out and go like this against the glass-- *he bangs his head slowly against the microphone* 9 months of this!" .aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnd I just basically gave away the whole FOAF speech . I'm cool. |

| Janie Jones Falling In Love With The Board Age: 34 Gender: Female Posts: 5438 | at the unhappy escaping turtles. I know!!! Dave never seems to be able to decide whether he liked Kurt at all or not. Sometimes he loves him and sometimes he's like "meh. whatever." And Kurt wasn't exactly the nicest to poor ickle Dave, BUT I read a quote from him saying that when he was all fucked up on drugs and stuff, the only person he could really talk to about it was Dave because he "at least listens and isn't judgemental" and blah blah. Soooo whatever. Yeah, it's not like D/T where they're actually fucking in real life  But it's still fun.LOVE FOR FREAKISHLY TALL KRIST AND FREAKISHLY SHORT KURT.  I haven't read BJ/Tre in ages.  BUT CHRIS/NATE IS TEH PWN. For sure. *and the Nate obsession marches on* And you know I love Anthony/John aaannnd whatever else there is. hahaha. AWWWW at Dave banging his head off the mike. One time I was trying to imitate him, I think Tom and I were playing Times Like These or something, and I hit my face off the mike. |
| Janie Jones Falling In Love With The Board Age: 34 Gender: Female Posts: 5438 | Let's see, did I miss anything? Yay for Dave/Tay love as a background. Mine was those two for a while but now it's God, aka Stephen Colbert. Dum dum de do. I NEED SKIN AND BONES. hahah I've made up my mind. |

| gazorples Addict  Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 10175 | So yesterday I was over my friends house, and one of my friends said that the Foo Fighters were the worst band ever.  Then a few hours later my other friends' brother started playing Everlong really loud.  Yeah. Sorta random, but when it happened I was thinking of posting it on here. XD |
