Re: Lightning Bolt - October 15
best of you is another terrible chorus. The only two Foo Fighter's songs I really like off hand are DOA and Everlong. And a few songs from their first album, I guess.harmless wrote:Really?

The three snare/guitar stabs here (around 3:11) are what I was talking about when I said that Foo Fighters sound like they cut short their stops / pauses in the studio. It's not a big deal, I hear it all the time. It just makes them cleaner.

Re: Lightning Bolt - October 15
When it came out I was blown away by the way the song was constructed. I loved how the vocals were extreme from the get go, but the music built up around it from next to nothing to a pretty nice crescendo. I spent weeks sitting in my room trying to find a song of mine I could apply a similar trick to.harmless wrote:Really?

Dave Grohl is a horrible songwriter. All of his songs are typical MOR dad-rock bullshit. Even when he tries to "rock out", he sounds like a pussy.

Was it this album that featured the beauty of a line "fame fame go away come back another day"? Cause I know we all make fun of ed being the sun and catching his breath to breathe and shit but...harmless wrote:Wasted Light suffers from Pearl Jamitis, in that I like bits of songs but not the entirety of any of them.

I'm pretty sure I own the first five or six albums. I don't remember enjoying any of them beyond the singles though.

Dave Grohl as a person irritates the fuck out of me in what I'd imagine is the same way Bono irritates his haters.
