The Foo Fighters just got done rocking Madison Square Garden last night according to Devil buddy Steve Lepore who was one of the lucky fans in attendance. He told me via a chat that it was basically a Greatest Hits show with a couple of songs off the great Grammy Award winning rock album Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace.
You really can’t go wrong with their music because it just totally kicks cerebral ass.
The biggest hit off that 2007 album is Grammy winner for Best Hard Rock performance ”The Pretender” which is frequently played on several radio stations. I hate overplayed music but that’s never going to change because most radio shows aren’t innovative enough and want desired ratings. Like most stations.
Thing is this song is a great listen because it’s enjoyable. The unique blend of guitars, bass along with awesome drumming gives it a very cool sound. Plus former Nirvana drummer now lead singer Dave Grohl of this very cool band has so much energy.
They just performed on Letterman and were awesome. I can totally see why Lepore was ecstatic about that concert. To quote part of what he said in a chat last night:
“They just brought it.“
And well, you either have IT or you don’t. They do. So it’s very easy to conclude that I need to score tix to a future show. Now it’s added to my concert laundry list which includes another one of my fave acts Red Hot Chili Peppers. Now if only Jimi Hendrix, Bob Marley and 2Pac were still around.
Oh. And would it kill Axl and Slash to freaking talk once and form an original GNR reunion? I know it will never happen. There’s a better chance of Hell freezing over and the Knicks somehow morphing into a title contender.
I really wish AOL didn’t suck ass because I can’t even link videos on this thing. I’m going to link it up the old fashioned way instead.
Foo Fighters: “The Pretender”
You can really feel their music.
Somehow, the rest of this entry got lost. I will try to have more cool Foo Fighters stuff up later tonight.
