Foo Fighters

"Too many hits, dude!!!"- Dave Grohl

I just finished watching Foo Fighters at T in the park. It. Was. So. Amazingly. Brilliant!!! The more I watch them/listen to them, them more I bloody love them!!!

The thing I love most about them is that you can tell that they really love what they do. They actually asked to go on early!!! That's how much they love it, and you can tell from their performance. And they stay on for as long as possible as well, their T in the park set lasted two and a half hours!!! That's insane!!! It WAS insane to watch!!!

They're so genuine as well. Dave said at T in the park they don't do encores and 'pretend' they're not going to come back on. His reasoning for this? "That wastes another song." That's how much they want to perform! They always play until they're told to stop, and even then they push it!

I love the fact they can mix acoustic with heavy. So much so they're album In your honour was two CD's!!! One acoustic, one heavy. And even better, the following album Echoes, silence, patience and grace showed they could do it in one album!

They're also SO talented! Especially Dave who is a brilliant performer and Taylor who sings and drums Cold day in the sun AT THE SAME FRICKIN' TIME!!! FLAWLESSLY!!!

Taylor Hawkins, Drummer.

They're ALL talented though and their latest album Wasting light is proof of this as it was recorded on tape. Big deal you say? Err, YEAH!!! That means it can't be digitally altered so what you hear is what you would hear if you were there during recording. Talent. A TRUE band.

While I'm on the topic of Wasting light, it's an amazing album. Not a single song which is even "Meh, it's alright I guess!" Get it!

Also recently watched their documentary Back and forth. As a fan who arrived late in the game considering they've been going for 16 years and I'm only 18, I found it really interesting. I now feel I am up to date with the bands history and have an incite into how they've got where they have. There are so really touching moments too, for example, they play Wembley (which is a HUGE deal) and at the end of the set Dave has a little cry!

Dave crying at Wembley, bless him!

That's what I'm talking about when I say they're so genuine. They obviously live and breathe for it!

I just love everything about them! So much so I'm getting a tattoo of the album cover for One by one. So much so that I KNOW after I've finished and posted this I'll remember something else I wanted to say.

I'm GUTTED that I didn't win iTunes tickets to go see them, but I did win tickets to see The script tomorrow which I am PUMPED for!!! And you can't win them all I guess...

But one day, I WILL see them live in all their glory...

Blog ya later, alligator!
