Praise duly given.

I've heard their new album is bangin', but haven't had a chance to listen yet (has it released/leaked?)

9/26/2007 12:12:39 PM

HOLLA

9/26/2007 12:14:21 PM

i thought about making this thread last week. PS i wonder if mr william goldsmith ever regrets quitting FF right before recording this album

pretty awesome for the FF bassist to be a part of both sunny day real estate and the foo fighters tho. theres so much musical history between the members of the foo fighters.

Hey, Johnny Park! > My Poor Brain

love the way Park "fades" into Brain, especially cause they are very different songs.

And I heard one of the songs from the new album on the Stern Show yesterday and it was pretty rockin.

9/26/2007 12:35:23 PM

^YES about JP into My Poor Brain.

9/26/2007 12:40:59 PM

much better than that last piece of shit they released, I must say

9/26/2007 12:47:43 PM

yea it had a few good songs but overall was meh

9/26/2007 1:16:58 PM

"February Stars" ftw

9/26/2007 2:02:35 PM

^^ their last album? the double (In Your Honor) or the live one (Skin and Bones)?

because if it's In Your Honor, i'll say that really liked he first cd, but the second one didn't get much listening from me...

not their best work, but i liked it

and man i hadn't thought about sunny day realestate in a long time

9/26/2007 2:32:48 PM

Man that's old school. I remember that stuff from high school!

9/26/2007 2:34:06 PM

^^ i love a lot of 'those' type of bands from that era:

sunny day
texas is the reason
the promise ring
mineral

i still give a lot of them frequent listens, especially on drives back to raleigh from SC most weekends.

in other news, 3 of the original members (jeremy-vocals, and the 2 guys that originally joined the foo fighters) recorded an album together 5 years ago under the name "The Fire Theft". its pretty decent.

9/26/2007 2:42:36 PM

^^hahahah "Hero" was our graduation song, man!

^TITR's singer's voice kinda unnerves me, that they were pretty fun.

9/26/2007 3:43:25 PM

FUCK that gave me chills. one of my favorite bands ever playing one of my favorite band's best songs ever. I saw them play that at least once, too, btw.

9/26/2007 3:53:44 PM

i saw them play it twice if im not mistaken. that show that the clip was taken from and also their final show (and amazing show, i hope you got to go)

Dave Grohl is the drummer for Queens of the Stone Age too, isn't he?


btw, Everlong still remains as my absolute favorite Foo Fighters song ever.

9/26/2007 5:25:32 PM

^ only for one song

9/26/2007 5:27:44 PM

^^ Dave Grohl doing that song solo on Howard Stern back in the day is one of my favorite live performances.

9/26/2007 5:46:02 PM

^^ actually he was on the entire Songs for the Deaf album

9/26/2007 7:09:18 PM

Songs for the Deaf is a GREAT album

9/27/2007 11:36:51 AM

I submit that FF are one of best, if not the best, unplugged bands around. I absolutely love it when they go unplugged.

9/27/2007 11:42:25 AM

^i saw them on the acoustic tour, truly great.

9/27/2007 4:37:43 PM

one of my favorite albums ever

"Songs for the Deaf is a GREAT album "

Agreed.

But The Colour and The Shape is a greater album. Top 10 of the 90's I'd say, and Everlong is definitely my favorite FF song. By a mile.

9/27/2007 5:18:42 PM

No way it's even close to Top 10 of the '90s, but it's still really goddamn good.

9/27/2007 5:27:43 PM

^^ haha. wrong.

9/27/2007 10:09:59 PM

I am entitled to my opinion, even if it is wrong.

9/28/2007 12:05:23 AM

random. i just spun this cd the other day. still love it.

and promise ring and texas is the reason ftw. word that.

9/29/2007 3:02:26 PM

man i dono its definitely up there in the 90s. Id have to nominate 'siamese dream' tho for sure

9/29/2007 3:37:43 PM

duly
