How have the Foo Fighters grown as a band in the past 15 or so years?

[Ns1]

I bet you don't have an answer to that because they haven't.

I'm declaring a new genre for them. I'm calling it "Template-Rock"



Note: I think Dave Grohl is the shit and I like some of their songs. I don't think they've grown as a band, however, and I would love to hear a counterpoint.

 

[ric1287]

then don't listen to them...?

 

[Newbian]

I am confused.

[darkswordsman17]

Well, they haven't shrunk either.

 

[sandorski]

I like 'em. Don't really care if they "grow" or not. :shrug;

I think their experimentation is put into side projects and for whatever reason they've decided not to fuck with what makes the Foo Fighters.

How do you classify growth in a band? Their music has changed, with a more serious theme - but overall, they're still a bunch of guys who like to jam and have a good time together. To me, the Foo's are about the music and fans, not the money - and they put out decent, non-anguished or raunchy-themed music which is very rare in todays market. On top of that, they put on one fuckin awesome show.

I started listening to the Foo Fighters after I heard their ESP&G album. I liked it immensely and as such, started to acquire some of their other albums. I found that the older albums sounded a bit more raw and somehow less polished than their more recent works. I don't know if that qualifies as "growing" for you or not.

My counterpoint is who gives a shit. If you like some/all/none of their music...what difference does it make.

But seriously, I liked their first album. I find all their recent stuff to be generic and boring though.

Which is why Mr T became a celebrity again. To restore the Supply of Foo.

Didn't even know they were still around, but they had a few songs I really liked back in the day.
