Foo Fighters know how to put on a great, rockin show. I haven't gone to a ton of concerts, although a good number of them, and the Foo Fighters rocked harder than anyone else I've seen. Dave is hilarious and very energetic...all in all a great time.

I agree with the great live show, but the last two singles they've release have been garbage. Dave no longer has Cobain to milk talent off of, and he falls apart. Too bad.. The first couple of albums were good.

haha cobain has been dead for a long time and foofighters have put out many albums since, so i dont know what that cobain comment is supposed to mean. i agree that the new single isnt the best song, and given to fly or whatever its called was pretty good but not great, but i mean give him a break. foo fighters have a lot of good songs, like stacked actors for example.

"All My Life" is a great foo fighters song. It takes a good musician to play in 2 different bands on different instruments.

Wow.. People are so polite on this forum that they can't even say that the foo fighters blow. There does exist good and bad bands. It ain't all good, good, good (and a little bad if you're currently in the spotlight instead of Mister Black). An opinion.

if you don't like the foo fighters, at least give them this:
-they are 8 times better then alot of crap on the radio right now.
-dave grohl is hilarious
-they don't sound like nirvana and they have their own sound.
-they put on a REALLY good live show
-dave grohl plays drums on queens of the stoneage "Songs for the Deaf" and that album rocks (not really relavent to whether or not you like the foo's)

I agree, if you have the misfortune of tuning into MTV, pray that one of Foo's funny videos are on. It's not like you're tuning in for the music.

Note:

The parts in brown are one single chord (with a slide to a second every now and then). Very boring shit even if the vocal melody is not complete garbage. The red is the 'chorus', which is an even less creative 4 or 5 chord ditty. The first two albums were alright - good, even - but this single does not deserve to be played by a homely highschool cover band.

All my life

All my life I've been searching for something
Something never comes never leads to nothing
Nothing satisfies but I'm getting close
Closer to the prize at the end of the rope
All night long I dream of the day
When it comes around then it's taken away
Leaves me with the feeling that I feel the most
The feeling comes to life when I see your ghost

Come down don't you resist
You have such a delicate wrist
And if I give it a twist
Something to hold when I lose my breath
Will I find something in that
So give me just what I need
Another reason to bleed
ONE BY ONE hidden up my sleeve
ONE BY ONE hidden up my sleeve


Hey don't let it go to waste
I love it but I hate the taste
Weight keeping me down (x2)


Will I find a believer
Another one who believes
Another one to deceive
Over and over down on my knees
If I get any closer
And if you open up wide
And if you let me inside
On and on I've got nothing to hide
On and on I've got nothing to hide


Hey don't let it go to waste
I love it but I hate the taste
Weight keeping me down (x2)


All my life I've been searching for something
Something never comes never leads to nothing
Nothing satisfies but I'm getting close
Closer to the prize at the end of the rope
All night long I dream of the day
When it comes around then it's taken away
Leaves me with the feeling that I feel the most
The feeling comes to life when I see your ghost

And I'm done, done and I'm under the next one (x8, then x4 but yelling)
Hey don't let it go to waste
I love it but I hate the taste
Weight keeping me down (x2)

(yelling)
Done done and under the next one
Done I'm done and I'm under the next


And this song is over four minutes long..

Dude who cares about this one single. You make it sound like it's the worst song on the radio. Listing the lyrics and saying the verse has one chord in it does not give a good review to anyone who hasn't heard the song. Some lyrics seem alot worse when read and not heard with the music.

These are the lyrics to the chorus of Nirvana's "Lithium":
Ye-eh-eh-eh yeah,
yeah-eh-eh-eh yeah yeah yeah,
yeah-eh-eh yeah.

Wow that really did it justice didn't it?

Sure "All my life" isn't mind blowing but a decent amount of people probably like the foo fighters here and to trash them like that is kinda weak in my opinion. I may be overreacting but i enjoy the Foo Fighters and their new album is quite good.

I dunno the lyrics.. got it from some page. I thought it was ON TO as well. Maybe the rest of the album is good, but that song is weak.
