Foo Fighters

I got the new RS mag today too. I started reading about the record sales. Ugh. I'm fucking pissed. Can't say I'm not to blame since I got limewire again and I've been downloading songs But still ugh. It's disgusting and we're not gonna have CDs and stores and shit anymore

I KNOW. The New York bill sucks and the London one at least has the RHCP and the Foos...and the Beastie Boys might be amusing

My dad called me to tell me Sting was on the cover because he knows how much I enjoy making fun of Sting

I STILL BUY CDS, DAMMIT. I mean, I do download, but mostly just individual songs - if I want a whole album I'd rather buy it for real.

B) Dave - Queens of the Stone Age - Songs for the Deaf (yeah, that's right, not taking the easy way and saying Nirvana. )

to you darling. The Police bore me.

I personally would have given:

Dave-> Scream- No More Censorship
Nate-> Empty Set- Flatland Spider
Chris-> No Use For a Name- Making Friends
Taylor->Brian May- Another World

Yeah, I was thinking Probot for Dave.

Color Me Impressed:

Yeah, I was thinking Probot for Dave.

that would be good. He's played on so many different albums

WHERE IS EVERYBODY?

I'm here now.

I miss the whole song-a-day thing so I'm thinking up songs for tomorrow.

Sorry I haven't been here much lately.. my friend from MA is visiting for a few days so yeah. But pics from the gig have been posted

OLD PICS


Plaid + Aviators + decent hair = yummy

from yesterday's gig:




chris is blonde again but their new guitars are pretty and shiny


. Nate's totally got the beard contest down







dammit no pics of Tay
. I can't help but laugh at thewhole hair thing . I don't even care anymore it's just so funny.

Setlist:
atom willard was there (drummer for offspring and angels&airwaves.. he was cool to talk to). also pat smear was there. no jack black which was surprising considering jack was at the white stripes show last night.. Dave and Chris were mingling in the crowd before their set.. fan/emailwinners had orange wristbands.. friends/family/guestlisters had silver wristbands.. and the silver wristbands FAR outweight the orange wristbands, for some reason.. anyway, I didnt see dave talking to any fans, just his family/friends. I saw his mom. i had a sharpie but didnt have the nerve to interrupt his conversations with buddies.. he took one picture with some oaf.. Nate had an amish style beard.. more on that later..

foos take stage at 1030pm.. quotes are from dave.. "favorite fuckin practice space in the world...big show saturday..need to shake off some cobwebs..been in the studio awhile.."

(finishes the mid-song rant).. (closes with drum solo)

"we're having a beard contest except for chris.. i remember you with a beard!it made me want to eat your face! (chris says he can't grow one).. "applause for taylor's beard, my beard.. I can put hair from my cheek into my fuckin mouth.. not cool!.. nate's beard (nate gets the most applause and he uncharacteristically hams it up) "beard solo!"
"thanks for letting us practice, we've been in the studio for 4 months.. if you think were going to put out a record, goto paladino every night.. anyone coming saturday? rich people.. that's a lot of coke!

New Way Home (so awesome to hear this)

the songs with asterisks were on the set list but weren't actually played. "cheer up" is a new song, standard foo fare, but it wasn't played as the encore, it was actually played much earlier in the set, don't remember where though.


The Cheer Up Boys, Your Make Up's Running is a new song I think and it's supposedly people think that they're making fun of emo music since Dave apparently hates it.

Cheer Up Boys, Your Makeup's Running - Audio (right click to download)

Cheer Up Boys, Your Makeup's Running - Video (ditto)

I haven't listened or watched either so I dunno how the quality is. I think someone's gonna post the show on a torrent site eventually.
