Foo Fighters
Flight

Born To Rock...

Dec. 2nd, 1968 - Nathan Gregor "Nate" Mendel, bassist with Foo Fighters, is born...

Oh, goody... I get to play a Foos' (Foo's? I do this every time... where does the bloody apostrophe go?) track again!

"Cheer Up Boys (Your Make Up Is Running)"...

Born To Rock...

Two for you today, both born on exactly the same day, because I can't choose between them...

Feb. 17th, 1972 - Taylor Hawkins from Foo Fighters... and a live performance of "Generator"...

I don't know what Dave was doing to that microphone, but I hope he bought it dinner first!

and second, Billie Joe Armstrong from Green Day... "Jesus Of Suburbia"...

Born To Rock...

Jan. 14th, 1969 - and the world becomes a more musical place, with the birth of one David Eric Grohl...

Foo Fighters and "The Last Song"...

And imagine how shitten on I feel tonight, having thought that he was singing "Alison" (and therefore giving me a namecheck, sort of) - and now I've checked the lyrics, and it's "I listen".

Never mind - I still love ya, Foos!

Time Of The Month - December

Last day of December, so my last chance to squeeze these in!

Foo Fighters - "Learn To Fly"...

Tenacious D - "Tribute"...

The Foo(d) Of Love...

"Monkey Wrench"...

Time Of The Month

Near the end of the month again, so it's time for the "Time Of The Month"

Foo Fighters - "Learn To Fly"...

Tenacious D - "Tribute"...

The Foo(d) Of Love...

"Breakout" - another of their videos that makes me laugh.

I love how they're not afraid to look stupid and take the pi$$ out of themselves!

The Foo(d) Of Love...

"DOA"...

The Foo(d) Of Love...

"Everlong"...

The Foo(d) Of Love...

Today's Foo Fighters' offering - "Big Me"...

The Foo(d) Of Love...

Okay, okay - Regular blog readers will know that I would rank Foo Fighters as one of my favourite bands, and you know how much I love "Learn To Fly"... but in the last couple of days some of the music channels on satellite have been playing other ones of their videos, ones I'd not really seen before (because before I had Sky, I didn't really have access to music vids) - and as well as being a really great performance band, they do some brilliant videos!

So I plan to share some others with you, if that's okay by you... starting with "The One"...

Apologies, because the video's maybe not the best quality, but it's still a goodie (and note Jack Black's there again... that's at least 3 Foo's (Foos'?) videos he appears in - This one, of course, because he was in the film "Orange County", and this song's on the soundtrack).

(Oh, and if you want to see some I've posted already, click on the "Foo Fighters" label below this post, and it'll take you to them).

The (New) Music Interlude...

It had to appear... The latest offering from Foo Fighters - "Long Road To Ruin"...

The video's directed by the same guy who did their "Learn To Fly" video, which regular blog readers will know is one of my two favourite songs & videos of all time. I don't think this video's quite as funny (maybe down to what happens to poor DG at the end), but it makes me laugh to see that the wardrobe department were able to re-use the dodgy 'tache from LTF for Dave!

Time Of The Month

It's nearly the end of October, and these two haven't had their outing for the month yet!

Foo Fighters - "Learn To Fly"...

Tenacious D - "Tribute"...

The Musical Interlude... Extra...

Subtitled: Aaargh! :^O

I swear to god, I saw the video for this song for the first time in the wee small hours of Saturday night / Sunday morning, in a fever, and I have just one word for it... WRONG, so wrong!

It's Foo Fighters and "Low"... featuring Jack Black again...

If you make it as far as 4minutes, 31seconds, I think that's the wrongest bit... but I'll let you find it for yourself...

The Boss Was In A Good Mood This Morning...

And it was all thanks to this... The Eagles' new single from their first new studio album since 1979... Radio 2 had their first play of it this morning...

"How Long?"

My boss is a huge Eagles' fan, and he got me into them a bit too, just by how he raved about them...

Music's played a big part in our day at work today, because Flunky and I were having a very long, very involved and very serious discussion (okay, arguement) this afternoon over what made a band or musician a "Legend", and whether Dave Grohl / Foo Fighters could be called Legends yet... you can guess what side of that arguement I was sitting...

Time Of The Month!

When I'm thinking what music videos I'm going to post for you, I keep getting drawn towards my 2 favourite videos of all time... but I keep thinking "Nah, it's not that long since I posted them... I really can't bore my readers with them again..."

Well, I've decided it's my blog, and yes... I can bore you with them! So, once a month... on a random date, you will be treated to these!

Foo Fighters - "Learn To Fly"...

Tenacious D - "Tribute"...

The rule I'm giving myself is that I can only post them once per calendar month... but the date is open.

Now You See It, Now You Don't...

Now You Do Again!

Yesterday I posted the official video for the Foo Fighters' new single "The Pretender", only to have to remove it again, because YouTube had had to withdraw all the videos due to a copyright claim from RCA Records.

Well, now RCA Records themselves have posted the video, so here it is back again...

But I stand by the comments I made... I still prefer their funnier videos, like "Everlong" and "Learn To Fly" (which I think is probably my favourite music vid ever)... and Dave Grohl does need a haircut!

God Bless YouTube!

No video yet, obviously, but people have posted slide shows with the new Foo Fighters' single already.

So, here it is... the first single from their upcoming 6th album "Echoes, Silence, Patience And Grace" (released on 25th September) - "The Pretender", available for download from 13th August, according to the Radio 1 playlist...

I love it already... but I guess I'm biased - Dave Grohl et al can do no wrong in my eyes. Flunky reckoned it was "too Foo Fighters sounding" (like that's a bad thing?).

What do you think?

My Phone Is Being Switched Off!

Right, Jo Whiley's just announced she's going to play the Foo Fighters' new song again at the end of her programme, which means in about 10 minutes... so I'm switching my mobile off, and woe betide anyone who speaks to me!
