As my daughter keeps reminding me, it's not the Foo Fighters. It's just Foo Fighters.

Regardless, I would love to see them sometime.

Took my Wife to see them for our anniversary on the "one by one" tour, and yes, they were very very good, high energy the whole night, and thoroughly rocked the entire huge tent venue.

would like to see them again even tho I am not so up on their current material. Dave seems like a very humble, cool cat.

You should really check out their most recent album. It's really good

it was pretty good in columbus OH. rise against got a mediocre mix. foos were mixed pretty good. bass mid was a little low. sub bass out of control as usual. guitars a little staticy. drums were spot on.

odd show to balance. acoustic instruments, a bass heavy punk band, and then a 5-6 piece (depending on the song) rock and roll band.

ive got a DVD from that tour. they deliver just the same.

they are 3 albums deep since one by one, and they are all good. one double disc exploring both rock and acoustic sides of their musical personality, the next mixing them, and the most recent being one of their more aggressive albums.
