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!
Hi! I have no idea if this has been discussed before, but what is everyone's favorite? Mine is Medicine at Midnight!
I lost my husband 2 weeks ago in a car accident. I want to start listening to music again. What are the best songs touching on grieve and death from the Roo Fighters?
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.
I have a feeling that there are very few grunge fans in Kazakhstan, not to mention ff. Anyways, fffans from Kazakhstan in this subreddit respond please
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 !
Hi I am looking to buy this Foo Fighters Milton Keynes Poster and the one for the day after if anyone has them?
The end of All Apologies with Dave and Violet singing was amazing and then this shot at the end 🥺
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!
Nirvana reunion with violet, i am not okay.
If you're not watching you should probably turn it on. St. Vincent and Kim Gordon as guest singers (so far).
So far they have played Breed and School!!
Great news! Well deserved 👏 🥁

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
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'?
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??
I have 67 songs on my master playlist for the Foos. When I say "master playlist" I mean these are all songs I can put on shuffle and I don't mind listening to them off the album.
My master list is as follows
Foo Fighters: Six songs. This Is A Call, I'll Stick Around, Alone + Easy Target, Floaty, X-Static, Exhausted
The Color and the Shape: Seven songs. Monkey Wrench, Hey Johnny Park, My Poor Brain, Wind Up, My Hero, February Stars, Everlong
There Is Nothing Left To Lose: Nine songs. Stacked Actors, Learn to Fly, Gimme Stitches, Generator, Aurora, Next Year, Headwires, Ain't It The Life, M.I.A
One by One: Eight songs. All My Life, Low, Have It All, Times Like These, Disenchanted Lullaby, Tired of You, Halo, Overdrive
In Your Honor: Four songs. Best of You, Still, Over and Out, Friend of a Friend
Echoes, Silence, Patience, and Grace: Six songs. The Pretender, Let It Die, Erase/Replace, Stranger Things Have Happened, Ballad of the Beaconsfield Miners, Home
Wasting Light: Seven songs. Bridge Burning, Rope, Dear Rosemary, Arlandria, These Days, I Should Have Known, Walk
Sonic Highways: Four songs. Something From Nothing, The Feast and The Famine, What Did I Do/God As My Witness, I Am A River
Concrete and Gold: Three songs. The Sky Is A Neighborhood, Sunday Rain, The Line
Medicine at Midnight: Six songs. Making A Fire, Shame Shame, Cloudspotter, Medicine at Midnight, Waiting On A War, Holding Poison
But Here We Are: Six songs. Rescued, Under You, Hearing Voices, But Here We Are, The Glass, Rest
Bonus track, Everlong (Acoustic Version)
So anyway, what are your master list tracks? I'm always adding more songs to mine too lol, new appreciation for certain songs all the time.
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! 🫶
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.
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?
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)
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
