I just got their most recent CD a few weeks ago, it's SO good. Usually I get bored with a CD half way through it, but I can listen to ESPG all the way through (:
My favorites are Long Road To Ruin, Let It Die, and The Pretender (:
I gotta say. The moment Dave Grohl made Everlong. He made quite possibly one of the greatest love songs ever written. Seriously. That song turned me into a softy and made cry a little when I first heard it and understood it.
They are one of my favoritet bands ever. They are coming to Iowa, but I don't think we can go because it's on a school night and it's like 3 hours away =[. which sucks cause this is a concert my parents would actually take me to, well my dad cause he likes them too
I was trying to talk my mom into taking me to see them because the show is next week, but it's not sold out and we could still get really good seats... But she said I had to choose between FF and FFTL, even though she really wants to see FF.
oh my how i love this band.
i am seeing them for the second time on 3rd of may.
and i am so excited. vanya hargreeves you really should see the FF.
i have been to alot of concerts, and none have come close to FF.
they are amazing live, they really are.

Actually, I was a little off in my post. The show was the 17th. I found out about it like, a week ago. Ooopss. I really do want to see them though. My mom is starting to get a little fed up of concerts though.
well, i saw the foo fighters last night, and thought i would share.
my friend and i went to the venue at about 11 - 11:30 to wait in line. the show started at half seven, but the wait was worth it in the end. they let us into the venue at about six thirty, so there was alot of sitting around waiting for the show to start.
we ended up on the barrier, pretty much in the centre. IT WAS AMAZING.
anyways, the first support was -insert name here- i forgot. but she was a freaking amazing guitar player. and the mess hall came on to play. they were rather good but didn't talk to us.
then, it was time for the foo fighters. the lights got turned off, and the crowd went insane. then nate and chris walked out, followed by tayler, and then dave came on stage. he just stood there, and everyone screamed and jumped. this went on for a little while, and they launched into let die.
the set list from what i remember was: (not in order)
let die
the pretender
all my life
monkey wrench
alone + easy target
big me
cheer up boys (your make up is running)
stacked actors
this is a call
breakout
hey! johnny park
learn to fly
long road to ruin
times like these
best of you
and they also played a half hour acoustic set in the middle which consisted of:
my hero
but, honestly
ballad of the beaconfield miners
everlong
skin and bones
cold day in the sun (sung by taylor)
(there was another song in here but i forgot!)
they played for about 2 and a half hours.
we heard stories about dave being arrested for drink driving on the gold coast (a little old, but still funny). he swore at us alot, which was rather amusing, and we also saw taylers pubes (lmao!). the crowd was chanting for him to "take it off!" and he pulled his pants a little to far. xD
they played a six song encore, which was pretty amazing, and ending the show with best of you was the best decision, the crowd went off.
when they ended dave threw a punch of picks in the crowd, and both me and ashleigh (my friend) caught one.
there are so many other moments that happened, but atm i can't think of them. xD the foo's are just such amazing entertainers, they sure do know how to play to a massvie stadium.
all up it was the most amazing night of my life. the only other show that has come close was the foo fighters back in 05. xD
