I don't have a problem with the Foo Fighters wanting to write radio friendly rock songs. What my problem with them is thats ALL they do.
A band will only release maybe 3 or 4 songs on an album for radio play as singles. This leaves at least another 8 or 9 songs on the album that an artist can do more or less anything they choose to with.What do the Foo Fighters do with these songs? They just use it for bland filler tracks that are just as formulaic as the stuff they put out on the radio. In my opinion and also several other people's opinion that I know of who have followed Grohl's career over the years & who actually think he is talented and have a lot of time for him think that this is a huge waste of his obvious talent.

Well, I don't really care for their new stuff because it HAS gotten repetitive. But I really liked their album The Colour And The Shape. Everlong is one song I really love and I don't mind that it gets played on the radio a lot.
Most stuff since then has been hit or miss with me however, Learn to Fly is certainly one song I'd never care to listen to ever again, which sadly won't stop radio stations from playing it until the f*cking end of time. And I actually do agree that the best post Nirvana thing Grohl has been involved in would be QOTSA. I'm glad you at least recognise that Grohl is talented, and yes I would like to see him put that talent to more good use. Last edited by boo boo; 04-05-2008 at 02:44 PM. |

I should really get back to my original point. I don't think Dave Grohl keeps proving who the most talented member of Nirvana was because his songwriting leaves so much to be desired compared to Kurt's. Even RezZ a fan has admitted they don't make inventive music and while Nirvana didn't either at least they were doing something different from what was making money at the time and Kurt Cobain really didn't care so much about pleasing the masses with Nirvana as Grohl does with the Foo Fighters. I mean he could've easily made Nevermind part 2 but instead he delivered In Utero and even fought his record company (though sadly lost) for the mixing to stay the way Albini had had it which probably wouldn't have pleased all the hair metal fans gone grunge.
I also think In Utero is a far superior album to anything Grohl's written and I'm mad hungry right now so if someone wants me to expand on this too I will. |
