Foo Fighters - Live

For anyone that has seen the band live, you'll be able to give your opinion on this. I've been watching a bunch of live clips on youtube the last couple of days, and I dare say, they are probably the most sound rock band live I've ever seen.

Would you say they sound so good live because of a raw studio sound with very little "over" production or simply because they're a great live band?

Or, maybe it all stems from Dave Grohl. If you haven't seen any of their stuff live, check them out. As someone who has grown tired of so many live acts today, they impress the hell out of me in concert.

For some reason, I LOVE his voice on the records. Definetely in my top 5 but everytime I see a clip of them live, he sort of screams his way through and doesn't have the power he has on the album. But anyways, they're definetely one band I want to see one day. They're in a handful of bands I need to stop talking about seeing and actually see.

They're amazing live!

I've seen them twice this past year and they're definitely one of my favourite bands live. They're tight on stage, entertaining, rock like a bastard and are heavier live than on the CD's.

One thing I will say though, is that when Dave Grohl took the drums for one song during the show I couldn't look anywhere else, and I'm normally a guitar girl. His playing is out of this world, so maybe it does have something to do with his personal magnetism?

Whatever it is, it works and I recommend anyone to go and see them if you get the chance

They are a band I definitely want to see live.

I very much like the foos but live they are just alright.

If you think BJ are GREAT and you like Foo music, you will be blown away.

Otherwise, they are just average. Yes, they rock and yes, Grohl is 'right there'. Great band, great music, but I do think they play too big stages for their own good. They don't fill the stage and the audience. I can see them kill on smaller venues though.

I'm going to try and type this clearly, but it may be tough with all the dirt you just kicked in my face.

Haa...yea, I'm not sure whether to feel insulted or what, lol!

I don't agree that they play too big stages for their own good. Their Hyde Park show this summer was fantastic. I've seen them at football stadiums and arenas and I think they can rock to the back row of each sized venue JMO.

No two ways about it - It was an insult. A very arrogant, opinionated one.

The only types of opinions I don't have respect for are those from fans that think they know something the rest of us don't.

ive seen them around 7 times and they're kind of like idlewild in that they're all over the place.

when they're great they';re astounding but catch them on an off day (asi have a few times) and you think, why do they get all that praise for being great live.
