Dave featured in "50 Years of SNL Music" Documentary

If you haven't had a chance to watch the new SNL music documentary (currently on Peacock), I highly recommend it. As a documentary, I found it compelling and highly entertaining. Also a fun watch as Dave provides some commentary, there are a number of brief clips of the Foos performing, and a cool feature about the first time Nirvana performed. My only complaint was that they didn't mention Dave's record of most performances! Regardless, check it out!

Taking a spin on the classic meme, which album did you initially dismiss only to give it another listen and fall in love?

For me it's Echoes, Silence, Patience, and Grace. Goddamn. This album. It originally did not hook me. Took forever to finally finish it, and even after listening the whole way through, it wasn't a satisfying vibe. Even The Pretender wasn't enough to grab my attention at the start. A couple days ago I decided to give it another try and wow. It's like everything just suddenly clicked. God I'm in love with this album. It's now in the running for my favorite three track opener (between it and BHWA). I have to rework my entire personal favorite album ranking now.

Song recommendation

As a huge Nirvana fan, I'm really interested by Foo Fighters' songs. So I'm just asking for some songs or even albums recommendations if I wanna start listening to this group which I think, without even knowing their songs, is awesome. Thanks for replies and have a nice day guys !

Proud Dad / Dave Moment from Fire Aid

Dave Grohl looks down lovingly at his daughter, Violet, after singing All Apologies at the Fire Aid LA benefit concert on Jan 30, 2025

The end of All Apologies with Dave and Violet singing was amazing and then this shot at the end 🥺

Make It Right

I absolutely love Concrete & Gold. And I just got blessed by Pandora. She played Make It Right as I was waking up. It is SUCH an absolute banger!

If you're not watching you should probably turn it on. St. Vincent and Kim Gordon as guest singers (so far).

The Ballad of the Birds of Satan

Apologies for posting twice in the sub in a day. I was listening to The Birds of Satan for the first time today, and on the first song at 6:23 I noticed that it sounds like the opening to Bridge Burning. It's that same cool clanky guitar sound (clanky in a good way, it sounds like actual pieces of metal hitting other pieces of metal to make music). I was just wondering if anyone else has noticed this before. It's my first time listening to the album so I'm late to the party, lol

Why is the song called 'Miss The Misery' and not 'Wasting Light'?

They say "wasting light" in the song several times. The name of the album is also 'Wasting Light' and, it sounds like a cooler song's name rather than "miss the misery".

Also, I always call this song 'Wasting Light', therefore why didn't Foo Fighters just call the song by the correct name: 'Wasting Light'?

how do you rate the band's albums?

i've been listening to ff for two years now, but I honestly never got into the fandom (first time here). I'm curious, in general, which album the fandom usually rank as the best and which as the worst??

Hyde Park, 2006 Drum solo-> My Hero

Someone had mentioned Hyde Park/Taylor’s drum solo in a post yesterday .. here it is... what an iconic moment!

.. I imagine this moment has been highlighted before, prob more than once .. if top songs/albums are ranked 100x 🤣🤪🙃 .. Hyde Park is surely worthy of some extra love… especially those 🥁 🤘 E N J O Y! 🫶

Paul McCartney in Sunday Rain

I don’t know if anyone else has caught this, but I’m 99% sure at 4:53 in Sunday Rain (phenomenal song by the way) after Paul McCartney (who’s playing the drums on this song while Taylor’s singing) hits a pretty sweet deep drum fill, he yells out a “WOOO” that can be faintly heard in the background! I love that they kept it in the recording and is one of my favorite little parts from this outstanding, yet underrated, album.

What genre is the Foo's self-titled album?

I adore Foo Fighters and my favourite album by far is their debut album. There isn't a single song on it that I dislike and because of that I've been trying to find similar bands. I've heard it described as grunge but Nirvana doesn't quite do it for me. So, that brings me to the question: what genre is their self-titled album and what bands should I listen to based off of this?

Which of the bands DVD's is the best?

Now that I own all the albums by the band I've been looking into the bands DVD's. So far the list I've seen is: everywhere but home, skin and bones, live in Hyde park and live at Wembley. Which of these would be the best (setlist wise, overall performance)

P.S I know about the other band DVD's (back and forth, sonic highways and studio 666 but due to them not being actual live performances I probably won't pick those up yet, besides for 666. I really need 666)

“alright, this next song is a new one we’ve been working on”

Does anyone have videos of times they say that and then play a song that would become huge? I know the one for bridge burning, and I saw a video for breakout but i’d love some more?’b
