Anyone else catch this documentary? It's been on MTV and a few other stations over the last week.


Personally, I liked it. It was one of the better done rock-u-mentaries I've watched.

I don't care for the Foo Fighters all that much so I'll probably skip it.

I kinda like 'em but, I am bored with the angry that's so permeated rock these days. I miss the party-fun aspects. Too much angst, not enough frivolity.

I loved the documentary. I've been a long time fan of Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters.

You should really watch the documentary. No, they don't 'party' like Motley Crue or something like that, but there is fun aplenty. They are not angry. In fact, just read their rider for the 2011 tour. They have their own recipe for ice that must be followed!

I've listened to the Foo Fighters since the first album Dave did by himself. Wasting Light might be the best album they've put out. You are a waste of effort.

I've always liked them, but the documantary made me a fan. There's a very cool video of them playing 'Rock & Roll' with Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones.

Maybe it's all that analog tape you're hearing

It's hard not to be a fan of a group that makes it a mission to make silly music videos or smash a bowl of blueberries on Flea's head before a show.
