Saw them on BBC3 coverage of Reading,whilst I think they have more energy live they are still boring.Average band with average singer,their songs in the main are hard to tell apart;they just dont go anywhere.

Arlandria
Pretender
Best Of You

Walk was a damn good tune.

Right up there with Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Green Day as kings of Blandcore.

I used to love The Colour And The Shape, haven't listened to them for ages though. Went off them for a decent while but I quite like These Days.

Not at all. I think Foo Fighters are very entertaining, very energetic. The majority of their songs are absolute tunes, particularly Learn to Fly and Breakout.

Granted, Dave Grohl does have a pretty weak voice live as compared to recorded.

I absolutely adore the Foo's, one of my favourite ever bands but each to their own. I've seen them live twice and think they are an amazing live band.

I saw them about five years ago and they were great. Not sure if that's still the case though.

Green Day didn't use to be but post "American Idiot " they have gone downhill.

I will admit some of their stuff is very MOR but other efforts like White Limo, Stacked Actors, This Is A Call, Hey There Johnny Park are just as energetic and dissonant as stuff off Nirvana's Bleach.

^^^^^

Foo Fighters and boring in the same sentence? *falls of chair*

I've never seen the Foos live (would love to though), but I can imagine the atmosphere would be similar to that of a Green Day concert, once your in that 'zone'

theyve had a few great tracks, but generally they are doing the same material they were twenty odd years ago...formulaic, generic, uninspired and bland.

Tell me one Rock Band of the last 20 years who isn't the same.
