Foo Fighters going on hiatus

[Monkey Chips]

They just canceled a show appearance at "Soundside Music Festival" and now they announced that they are going on a Hiatus to focus on their families (following the Dave Grohl controversial news).

Big Me is a great song and I like the lead in Monkey Wrench; outside of that I don’t care about Foo Fighters or Dave Grohl. So, it’s whatever. That being said, I don’t think Grohl’s a bad person and I think Foo Fighters probably ended the day Taylor died and this is probably just a convenient way to end it.

band should of ended in 2002, but I guess they make people happy with the new stuff. anyway, it's probably better for him to get his life in order. 

[Scott.]

Big Me is probably the only one I’d go out of my way to listen too. Maybe My Hero. Oh and Everlong obviously.

good greatest hits of a band, and i really liked the last album, which was the most honest and compelling work they've made since maybe colour and the shape. shocking what grohl did. been a turbulent few years for them. his hot ones appearance seemed humorous but now seems like an alcoholic cry for help in retrospect. dude has been living hard. 

[Speedo]

A mosquito, my libido
Kurt Cobain would vote for Speedo!

[Knapppers]

I feel like I view them the same way a casual fan views blink. Love their greatest hits and maybe the odd deep cut but that's about it. They were definitely a few years past their expiry date. 

[Knapppers]

I guess they fired Josh Freese the other day. Curious who they'll get for a drummer now

[Ghost]

Oh, hey, what?

[Jan Mortensen]

They really are a greatest hits band. It feels like Grohl is just taking from his old rock bands and mimicking them/role playing more than his own personal music.

That said can’t help but like a few songs.

big me, times like these, best of you, first album

Run is the only recent song I kinda liked

 

They really jumped shark for me when they made the 666 movie or w.e and Dave grohl going in this Billie eilish im your biggest fan it’s so authentic of me etc etc annoys me.

continuing on without Hawkins obviously feels disingenuous

Definitely a greatest hits band now. Run and then the song they wrote about Taylor "over you" are the only 2 new songs i like and know.

Can they just stay on Hiatus?  I feel like they've proved their point.

Would you want blink to stay on hiatus? I feel like they’ve proved their point.

If they don't want to write anything themselves anymore, maybe? 

Foo Fighters are also redundant as fuck.  Please don't start a new argument about how every band is better than blink 182 - on the blink182 message board today, thank you.

I’m simply pointing out your hypocrisy. And blink isn’t redundant? What is blink proving these days or have left to prove? You act like they’re above the same very critique that you just put on the Foo Fighters. You are terribly biased. Try to keep the same energy across the board, bud.

Yeah but Foo Fighters suck outside their first couple albums.

You’re showing your bias again. You are just a hypocrite. I bet if the Foos had their next album written by Taylor Swift’s writers you would say it’s epic.

No, because Foo Fighters is annoying and cringey.  Already.
