did they release the last record on their own label?

[Smash Adams]

I love the foo fighters no matter what label they're on

[Prestonxsmith]

Cool Cool

[Petrolcb41]

ive very interested to see how their next album will turn out with them not doing the mixing/recording themselves

[anamericangod]

oh man gil norton, weeeeeeee

colour and the shape is so timeless. i can only hope he takes them back to somewhere like they used to. a little less mainstream, a bit more refreshing would be terrific.

[Chancetobe]

I love the foo fighters no matter what label they're on

That about sums it up.

[notoaststereo]

foo fighters and third eye blind will always be my all time favorite bands.

[rpf0617]

what do you mean a little less mainstream? They have always been mainstream. Their first cd had several big singles on it. I like them and am not saying they are bad. Just saying they have always been mainstrem.

foo fighters has always been a mainstream bands... since the release of their self titled album and the single big me.


dave grohl is the by far the greatest rockstar in the world because not only can he make incredible music, he is one of the nicest guys and funniest guys out their.

[Jason Tate]

Gil Norton ... OMG, I just came a little bit.

[allhollows86]

i hope their next album sounds like their older stuff and they go back to having fun in the videos and not so serious, Just because they got older doesn't mean they can't have fun anymore

[abusedcat]

Gil Norton's a great producer.

[Jason Tate]

Gil Norton's a great producer.
Personal favorite.

Ever seen them live? They still have fun. Plenty of it.

have you seen the low video? it's absolutely hysterical/excellent.

[notoaststereo]

Ever seen them live? They still have fun. Plenty of it.

very true... when i saw them dave said he was going to show as much rock and roll up our asses as possible in the next two hours. he sure did show a lot of rock and roll up there.

[Arcanum Down]

Their live shows are fairly rediculious. If you have a chance to see their Dvd Everywhere but Home...do it. It's rad. Love C&S and hope their new album comes close to that.

[thesweetescape]

It's ironic how they approached RCA with TINLTL completed in Dave's basement and have managed to grow substantially bigger since. It's one thing to play in front of 3000 kids every night, and quite another to be opening for Bob Dylan and headlining Reading Festival.

I remember reading about the recording of TCATS and how Gil Norton was a bit of a slave-driver; insisting the band re-record songs 30-45 times each after they had already nailed successive takes.
This tension lead to the departure of William as their original drummer ( well touring drummer, since Dave had done all the drum recordings on the self-titled) and forced Dave to resume drum recording duties for yet another album. Given the uncertainty surrounding the band during previous recording sessions (Travis' OD during 1X1, the numerous times Dave has contemplated packing it in), I REALLY hope the success of IYH and two successful summers of touring that album have solidified a newfound confidence in them and they'll commit to sticking around for a while. For a line-up made up of ex-members of some great groups (Nirvana, Sunny Day Real Estate, Late, Scream, No Use, hell even Alanis Morrisette's touring band) the sum has really outgrown it's parts. Here's to another 10 years of Foo.

I haven't really been into their last two albums. Hopefully, this album will change my mind or something.

[ACA]

Definitely a band I can't get into. I don't have any disrespect/hate for them, I just do not like their music. I don't know.

were you at the weezer/hot hot heat show at continental, since I was

[Co and Ca]

I've only heard their singles. The singles from their last two CD's werent that good at all.

[notoaststereo]

one of my favorite band dvds.

[notoaststereo]

yeah, what an excellent show.

[Smash Adams]

yeah, what an excellent show.

roger taylor joining them was a nice surprise

[notoaststereo]

That actually really surprises me.

They're great within the context of the rest of the album (IMO); however, I'm bias as I think they're one of the greatest bands making music. I love everything they do.

i agree. i think foo fighters are very good at picking singles.

[IPS Josh]

foo fighters and third eye blind will always be my all time favorite bands.

I second this.

[notoaststereo]

I second this.

i only speak the truth.

[HumMKE]

better than nirvana. period.

[WarpSpeedChewy]

I'm listening to New Way Home right now. I'm hoping a lot of the songs on the new album are as catchy as this song.

[notoaststereo]

truth.

[ArisonCain]

The Foo Fighters are America's greatest export, bar none. Very stoked about this.

[radxbandit]

I've only heard their singles. The singles from their last two CD's werent that good at all.

on the contrary i think "all my life" and "the best of you" are among the best songs they've ever written. up there with low, aurora, and my hero (my opinion).

[SorryAboutThat]

Foo Fighters will always be one of my top five favorite bands. I can't wait to hear another album from one of the greatest minds in rock of our era, Dave Grohl.

[allhollows86]

Ever seen them live? They still have fun. Plenty of it.


Yeah their awesome live, i was talking about their videos

[Vil de Locke]

Personal favorite.

Agree.

[Vil de Locke]

I'm listening to New Way Home right now. I'm hoping a lot of the songs on the new album are as catchy as this song.

that song, that record as a whole, are just amazing.. zing zing.

[swizzle]

thank god! Mr norton did their best album. Hopefully this means they're going back to their best stuff

[Jared Kaufman]

If I had a band, Gil Norton would definitely produce my album -- I love his work.

[bradyreier]

:woot:

[tenminutes]

I've only heard their singles. The singles from their last two CD's werent that good at all.

really? i thought the best of you was a great single. i love that song.

[HiddenInNJ]

i really hope this turns out better than their double release
