I kind of feel the same about Chris Martin.
That's just taking things a bit too far there buddy!
I'm serious! I've read a few interviews with Chris where I've thought he actually seems like a pretty likable dude, and totally gets how annoying Coldplay can be. Did you ever see him guest in Ricky Gervais' Extras? He was great.
He may seem cool, but at one point he married Gwyneth Paltrow, and that's a stain you just can't erase.

that had to be the hardest episode for Grohl, all things considering. there's no way it would live up to expectations. i liked it though, but i liked seeing a lot of places on screen that i walk around. there wasn't anything in the episode that I wasn't aware of, but it was fun to see again

Hearing the unreleased tracks from the first album was so cool. So he essentially had three albums of material. Deluxe version, please!

yeah, i actually liked that part a lot. seeing him embarrassed was pretty funny, too. i'm sure he never expected to hear that stuff again after he made it. there were just a few things i was let down by. first, dave matthews finally makes an appearance and they talk about them for 12 seconds. someone from dmb should have been in the new orleans episode, but thats me being a selfish dmb weirdo. i also feel like they went out of their way not to mention pearl jam. they guy from subpop talks about mark arm being in green river, but doesnt bring up jeff ament or stone gossard? lame editing. i've enjoyed the series a ton though. the songs are still boring, but the show has been great.

Uh, I'm not kidding at all. I would hope you are about "shady on the wimmin," but it doesn't look that way.

Outside of early 90s punk, she seemed to have a hard time coming up with examples of female performers who had been neglected.

I can't really explain why but I keep returning to the idea of seeing these guys play when they're here soon.

They're fun. They clearly enjoy playing and it's contagious. They're not my favorite band, but they're my favorite show. Everyone is a casual Foo fan, so you can go with anyone and be sure they will have a good time.

You should definitely see them live. For me, they have become a greatest hits band so the concert is a lot of fun. Its been awhile since ive seen them but Dave Grohl is pretty infectious.

So many classic hits over the years even if I haven't really ever enjoyed a full album of theirs.

I think the HBO series is the most refreshing gift to the history of Rock N' Roll in a long time (sans the quick edits, but it's an ADHD world)... I hope some of the bubblegum pop and emo kids actually watch this and get a clue!
