The full Madison Square Garden re-opening concert from last June is on their youtube channel. Very well done, and since I was there, this is awesome.

About that. Their Youtube Channel has a song called March of the Insane from a band called Dream Widow which is apparently a fictional band in the movie? Apparently, the Foo Fighters created this song and took their evil pills for this one?

Dream Widow

Apparently they even recorded a whole album worth of material with Dream Widow.

Lonk · « **Reply #565 on:** February 25, 2022, 07:46:46 PM »

Just came home from watching the movie, and it was fine for what is supposed to be.

I laughed here and there, which is what I was expecting.

Same here. It's ok. The humor reminded me of Leslie Nielsen's comedies for some reason.

Went to see it friday night specifically because it was announced ahead of time the full band and director would make an appearance to intro the film at our showing

Cool getting to see them talk about their experience of making the film in person

It came out today. It's pretty much all Dave with a guy providing the guitar solos. If you buy from the Foo's website you can get it uncompressed as there is no physical version.

I just bought it after checking out the samples. Downloading now.

Taylor last show, Argentina, 2022

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oL5TglrLxtI

I am cranking their discography in his memory!

KevShmev · « **Reply #571 on:** March 26, 2022, 09:59:42 AM »

Yeah, it's been a while since I really listened to a lot of Foo Fighters, outside of a song here and a song there, but I listened to a bunch this morning already, and plenty more to come the rest of the weekend.

King Puppies and the Acid Guppies · « **Reply #572 on:** March 26, 2022, 12:12:01 PM »

Yeah, I felt today was a good day to do a Foo Fighters discography run through. It's been a while and in light of what happened yesterday it just felt right.

I'm going through the self titled album at the moment and I forgot how good this album is front to back!

Lonk · « **Reply #573 on:** March 27, 2022, 01:15:44 PM »

Listened to Dream Widow, is actually enjoyable.

Does anyone knows if Taylor played drums for it, or if that was all Dave?

Dave did all the drums on Dream Widow.

The full lineup of guest musicians have been announced for the London show. This is an amazing group! I'm not a big Foo Fighters fan personally but this is shaping up to be an incredible show.

RUSH's Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson, OASIS's Liam Gallagher, QUEEN's Roger Taylor and Brian May, THE POLICE's Stewart Copeland, JANE'S ADDICTION's Chris Chaney, QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE's Joshua Homme, PRETENDERS' Chrissie Hynde, Dave Chappelle, MAMMOTH WVH's Wolfgang Van Halen, Omar Hakim and members of Hawkins's covers band CHEVY METAL are among the artists who will come together with FOO FIGHTERS members Dave Grohl, Nate Mendel, Chris Shiflett, Pat Smear and Rami Jaffee and the Taylor Hawkins family to celebrate the life, music and love of the late FOO FIGHTERS drummer at London's Wembley Stadium on September 3.

MrBoom_shack-a-lack · « **Reply #576 on:** June 15, 2022, 10:26:17 AM »

I think they said more guests to come so unless i'm wrong this isn't the full lineup yet. It's pretty amazing though!

ReaperKK · « **Reply #577 on:** June 15, 2022, 10:37:05 AM »

Yea it's a really incredible lineup, those tickets are going to sell out in fractions of a second.

cramx3 · « **Reply #578 on:** June 15, 2022, 10:39:47 AM »

They also just announced the guests for the LA show, really looking like a special event. I'd be trying to go if they did this in NYC.

Anguyen92 · « **Reply #579 on:** June 15, 2022, 10:53:02 AM »

I may consider the LA show. I just hope it's not like the Chris Cornell Tribute show (whilst it was a good watch, it felt a little too corporate for my liking). This could be my only chance to see Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson in some live capacity as I never saw Rush. Had a shot back in 2015 at the Forum, but I was too broke to see it and thought, "even though, they are considering cutting back touring, they could come back to LA someday." That was their last show ever.

countoftuscany42 · « **Reply #580 on:** June 16, 2022, 05:30:11 PM »

Got a ticket for the Forum show

Assuming this will be my final Foo Fights show, but who knows what the future holds for them. Also thrilled to see Geddy and Alex play together again, I don't imagine I'll have that chance again either.

Anguyen92 · « **Reply #581 on:** June 16, 2022, 10:52:37 PM »

^^ How much were the tickets? I checked the presale too late today and the tickets available were already gone.

Edit: Just found out the prices. $120.00 with fees included. That's a bit too rich for me to spend. I'm going to pass for now. I got to draw a line somewhere.

I was just trying to get tickets and it's pretty much impossible. Oh well, I'll settle for some youtube videos.

A lot of not drummers. Who is playing drums? I see Chad, both maybe I don’t recognize other drummers names.

Omar Hakim. Incredible drummer.

Anguyen92 · « **Reply #585 on:** June 17, 2022, 10:47:10 AM »

Regarding that guest list, here are the drummers I recognized. Stewart Copeland (The Police). Roger Taylor (Queen). Chad Smith (RHCP). Jon Theodore (Queens of the Stone Age). Brad Wilk (RATM and Audioslave). Technically, Wolfgang Van Halen can be deemed a drummer as well.

On another interesting note. John Paul Jones has been added to the line-up as well. A Them Crooked Vultures reunion can be in place as well.

That seems pretty reasonable price for such a unique concert with a very popular band. Fair enough if it's out of your range, but that at least doesnt sound like a rip off (assuming you can get them at face value)

Anguyen92 · « **Reply #587 on:** June 20, 2022, 01:11:59 PM »

It is a reasonable price. I paid around $90.00 face value for the Chris Cornell tribute show in 2019, so you factor in inflation (which the pandemic has really accelerated) and that Foo Fighters are a much bigger band, $120.00 for nosebleeds does seem fair and it will sell out at that price.

cramx3 · « **Reply #588 on:** June 20, 2022, 01:14:36 PM »

Last year for the MSG show (1 year ago today actually) It was around that for the cheapest seats which all sold out quickly leaving the 200+ options as the only available. They released day of show side stage tickets for $50 that I ended up scooping up to go, otherwise I would have never seen Foo Fighters or Taylor Hawkins.

Foo Fighters just announced as headlining the Sonic Temple festival in May. Any news on who's handling the drum duties?

https://sonictemplefestival.com/

cramx3 · « **Reply #592 on:** January 10, 2023, 09:17:54 AM »

Not that I've heard but they have announced plans to move forward with the band. They are also headlining the Boston Calling festival.

Lonk · « **Reply #593 on:** January 10, 2023, 09:20:52 AM »

I believe they are going to move forward but with a different name. So same members, new drummer, new band name.

As for who is going to be, no idea. Maybe Portnoy wants in on it

They got Foo Fighters on the marquee for both festivals, maybe they're keeping the name.
