Foo Fighters

[Self.Destructive.Pattern]

Reminds me when Pete Loeffler from Chevelle took a nasty fall about 2 years ago. He fractured his knee and not only played the remainder of the show, but the remainder of the tour sitting down. Props to these dudes.

[armogi]

I wonder what's with the sudden trend of musicians falling off the stage recently? First The Edge from U2, then Marilyn Manson earlier in the week and now Dave Grohl. Hmmm

my thoughts exactly, maybe that's what happens when you play too many big shows, they need to get back to small clubs

[Sutekh]

all getting old! 90s manson could fall off stages like a paratrooper

Scored some free tix to their scheduled show in September...hope nothing gets cancelled or postponed.

[october_midnight]

Confirmed that no more dates will be cancelled/rescheduled.

Beast.

I saw an interview with Dave on 60 Minutes and he just seems like a super cool guy--just a real, normal person.

[Sarah K]

Holy shit... I just realized that my concerts are like two weeks away.

Lol, so Dave will do the shows in a wheelchair? curious to see that, which i won't.

[Sarah K]

Well, this answers some questions.

[ManBurning]

Aww, he's still in a cast. That sucks. Glad he's being a trooper and going on with the tour though. Gotta give the man respect for that.
I know a lot of people in the UK were bitching and moaning about Dave cancelling their shows and not cancelling the US leg.
But I mean, the man's leg was JUST freshly broken when those UK shows were. He's had a couple weeks to rest since then, guess a fall like that is going to take longer than a few weeks to recover from. Kudos to him if he can complete the whole North American tour without any show cancellations. I have tickets to see them in September, wonder if Dave will be back on his feet by then. Guess time will tell.

[richardp]

That chair is awesome! It's like a Rock n Roll Iron Throne.

[Sarah K]

Also, if anyone is going to either of the NYC shows and wants to hang out, let me know. KTHX.

I'll be going foreveralone.

Rogers in Vancouver, I'm assuming?...

Stoked to go to the Gorge as it'll be my first time there.

Yep, rogers in Vancouver.

I've surprisingly never been to a show at the Gorge considering how close I am to Washington. Heard it's a fantastic venue though.

Least it's not 4 months of straight touring for them, I can see a couple decent breaks in the tour.
A Break from July 26 to August 12th And then another before the Vancouver show starts the tour back up between Aug 29th and Sept 11th.

Dave probably never anticipated how much he'd appreciate having those 2 breaks in the tour until now, heh.

[laci]

He is brilliant. Cannot wait for the Vienna show in November!

[cahernandez]

This is amazing (damn...Italians are really fine specimens of human beings. So much hotness in this video):

[Conan The Barbarian]

That is, I hope they get their wish.

[ManBurning]

unreleased "Million Dollar Demos" have been unearthed and released online. They're basically demos from the "one by One" sessions. Most of the songs are just unpolished versions of the originals, with the exceptions of radical changes in both "Come Back" and "Lonely As You"

[armogi]

well, after all these nirvana leaks, it's now the foo's turn...

[cahernandez]

Does anyone know if the Foos sell concert specific posters?

[richardp]

Does anyone know if the Foos sell concert specific posters?

They do. The KC one was even a Tyler Stout which was huge.

[cahernandez]

I saw that for the 20th anniversary shows there were pop up shops in NYC, Chicago and somewhere else. I'd assume they are not doing the pop up shops for the regular stops of the tour, right?

No I'm pretty sure they're only doing pop-up shows for their huge stadium gigs. The tour merch they have right now is pretty great though. They had at least 3 tour shirts that joke about Dave's broken leg.

[laci]

I'll be in Vienna tomorrow to see the band. Let's meet for a beer if you'll be there too.

[PhoenixML]

New EP free.

Looks like they're gonna try that "indefinite hiatus" thing again, too. I remember when Dave declared that in 2012 and was in the studio three months later.

Eh, they've basically been on the road nonstop since Sonic Highways was released, and they've done a million and 1 things in between, all with a broken leg Dave.
I think they deserve to take off as much time as they want at this point. After a new album, world tour and a 2 EPs (Songs from the Laundry room and Saint Cecelia), I think even I could use a break from the Foo Fighters myself.

[gorast]

I never said they didn't, I just said I doubt Dave will stick to it because he's a workaholic. Trust me, I'm not trying to talk shit about Dave. I get it. They can do whatever they want.
