Lichfield Dean Posted March 26, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted March 26, 2022 32 minutes ago, El Zen said: The Foos’ early stuff was, if not extremely interesting, then at least brilliantly fun straight up rock music combined with an ability to make catchy hit tunes with the finesse of the most polished of pop artists, Everlong being the obvious, but perfect example of their ability to make some almost irresistable songs at their peak. That, and their almost parodically amiable personalities - have you ever heard a bad word about any of them? - gives them a special place in my heart. Musically, we grew apart a long time ago, but the Foo Fighters, f*** man, are absolute legends. I think they are one of the few bands that nobody seems to really actively dislike. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed - probably because on the face of it (excluding certain beliefs) they are all decent, normal guys considering they are globally renowned ‘rock stars’ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbie09 Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Absolutely flattened by the news, he’s 7 years younger than me. I’ve seen them live 7/8 times and they’ve never failed to deliver. Had tickets for the VP gig, can’t get my mrs to go near VP on matchday but she was so looking forward to the gig. What a shit start to the weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshVilla Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 I was never a Foo Fighters fan, but this one has proper shocked me. Seemed like a nice guy and was obviously a great drummer. Very sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddywhack Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Didn’t Kurt kill himself just before Nirvana were due to play Aston Leisure Centre? Looks like Dave is destined to never come to Aston. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 (edited) I can see Grohl playing drums for the rest of the tour...if they complete it. That's a gut punch. Edited March 26, 2022 by maqroll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave should be up front and centre. If they decide to continue then I hope they have a few guest drummers in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyrusr Posted March 26, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted March 26, 2022 Have to say this has made me quite sad. Not the biggest FF fan but definitely enjoyed them and were generally good to watch. Hawkins though was definitely “the 2nd member” and it’s clear the Grohl thought a lot of him. This is going to be hard for him. A real shame, RIP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Known drug user found unresponsive in a Colombian hotel room. Oh Taylor . Suggestions of medics being called to hotel for someone with chest pains. I think with the drugs I thought he had been clean for nearly 20 years or so. Really hope it’s not drugs related Edited March 26, 2022 by cyrusr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meregreen Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 Andrew Jennings. The guy who lifted the lid on corruption in the IOC and FIFA. Apparently his first words to Blatter were “ have you ever taken a bribe Mr Blatter” Jack Warner the Caribbean delegate, who was a particularly despicable man, once told Jennings to go **** himself and that he would spit on him. Take a bow Mr Jennings, a life well lived I think. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
