[MK Shrimper]

Nope, can't say I really rate them.

My daughter is in a box with her bloke and my lady's son is with a gang on the pitch tonight. I didn't get an invite. :madman:

Nope, can't say I really rate them.

First two albums are quality, third album is alright but they are pretty dull now.

I saw them years ago at V, 2000 I think it was.

To me that is like a stamp of approval.

Saw the Foos a couple of years ago, they were pretty good but as BA says, their last three albums have been a bit on the uninspiring side.

Supergrass are awesome though. If I had the money, I'd get a ticket just to see them.

Oh and to respond to the original post, nope I will not be going. I prefer to see these bands in more intimate venues, like Brixton or the Astoria

Brixton Academy, despite the sh!thole it's located in, is a great venue, although I find the Astoria to be a touch on the tatty side. I prefer watching bands play in smaller venues as well.

At least they're not playing at Hyde Park, which is a venue of intense rubbishness.

Pleased to be of service. :finger:

I'm going by public transport but have serious reservations what with all the Lvierpool St dramas of late (I live in Rayleigh).

Does anyone know which companies are laying on coaches as I may try one of them??

Not talking about thses then??

The term foo fighter was used by Allied aircraft pilots in World War II to describe various UFOs or mysterious aerial phenomena seen in the skies over the European theatre and the Pacific theatre.[1] Witnesses often assumed that the foo fighters were secret weapons employed by the enemy, and it was not until after the war that it was discovered neither side had anything to do with them. Despite these fears, foo fighters (whatever they might have been) were apparently never reported to have harmed anyone. To this day the phenomena remain unexplained.

Though usually thought of as smaller blobs of light or fire, several different types of reported phenomena, including large structured objects, were classified as "foo fighters".

And why Dave Grohl chose the name for his band.

yep for me the first two albums are their, well Dave Grohl's, finest moments.

Recording rock albums where one person plays all the instruments is damned impressive.

That was only the first album wasn't it?

 

[Mr. Benedict]

It was indeed, he managed to find a backing band for subsequent efforts. I believe Grohl writes all the songs though.

The word 'albums' in my post was actually a typo!

Dont think there are any.

Luckily, me and Beardy are getting a lift to and from the gig. Saves me money on trains!
