Red Mosquito

the one part of the song that sounds like 'everlong' is decent, the rest of this sounds like the foo fighters have sounded for 15 years or whatever its been. i feel like their career has been exactly like weezers, just more successful.

I could be mistaken, but I would be surprised if Foo Fighters fans jump on multiple shows of the tours or follow the band around in the same way as say Pearl Jam. I could be wrong about that, but the atmosphere seems more casual. Maybe they are someone’s favorite band, and they listen to the albums but maybe not dissect everything so painstakingly.

Aging frat boys.

new single is my favourite song of theirs in years and years

great drumming too, sounds like Grohl's style

really looking forward to seeing if I enjoy the whole forthcoming album

Not even. Just everyday normal people who aren't rock music obsessives. I know a bunch of extremely normal folks who love the Foos

Unless you mean like hardcore Foo Fighters obsessive fans. They definitely exist but I know not their culture

I just KNOW that someone has made a post exactly like that one about, like, "The Fixer" or whatever

yeah when I read "ageing frat boys" I think the widest contingent of PJ fans

Frat bros are normies though. And there's a shitload of crossover among fans of the Foos and PJ.

I've thought about it, and I think you're right -- normies is the most accurate, but I still see frat bros/jocks as being sort of grandmasters of the normie-sphere.

Lots of judgy people here. Did you guys get picked on by athletes growing up? Frat boys?

This new foo song sucks.

The end

actually it doesnt suck. It's completely forgettable and sounds like every other song theyve done in the last 15 years.

Its worse than sucking as it doesnt even register in time

Why are you being so judgemental of the new Foos song, frat bro?

I've never been in a frat.

Good evening, Sailor.

If only yoga frats were a thing.

That sounds awful

Downward facing dog keg stand, let's go.
