DID YOU JUST CALL FOO FIGHTERS EMO!!?!?!?!? NEVER SAY THAT AGAIN!!!

[@DianeJennings]

Are they not emo rock?!! Pinning for discussion 😊

[@genekent2391]

No, not emo...lol...they are simply modern rock! People talk about how Cobain was a genius, but Grohl goes beyond that. Grohl is the singer, helps write most of their music, and is one of the best drummers in rock music today. Oh, I mention Cobain because he and Grohl are 2 founding members of Nirvana,

I think I'd probably use grunge rock?

[@genekent2391]

[@mattheweudy2396]

🤣 I think they were pre-emo, it’s quite possible emo bands found inspiration from Foo Fighters

[@pressonc]

Dave Grohl is HEAVILY anti-drug, and the band is active in the anti-drug movement. Hawkins’ death came as a major shock to the band. Grohl has been vocal about his grief and has done several interviews where he spoke very frankly about Cobain and Hawkins and his depression experiences following both deaths.

[@grilledspaghetti]

Grohl is pro weed though. Seems against the rest, but he tells of himself even Comparatively recently smoking weed.

Dave Grohl is an amazing dude. He literally plays any instrument you've ever heard of and puts out some great music, but he's also so involved in so many other things in life. Definitely, top 3 guys I'd love to hang out and have a beer with. Just an all around awesome guy.

[@neil2444]

Search for Foo Fighters Learn to Fly 1000. 1000 musicians get together to reproduce Learn to Fly in order to convince Dave Grohl to come to their city to play a concert, and he listened. It's impossible to watch that video without feeling 110% better about yourself, at least for me.

Their cover is really good, but their originals from today are even better and they have around 50 of them.

Foo Fighters are a good band to listen to if you need to psych yourself up to face fear. Example like surfing a big set, or if you’re young enough to be playing sports. Also Grohl seems very like-able in real life based on shared music influences and his sense of humor. Several good songs over the years. Good one Diane!

Long time Sub, Never asked for anything, not once, until today. The FF's did continue on after a break, but just 8 days before Taylor's passing, they played a big outdoor gig in Mexico. They chose a popular 3 pc Power trio of all sisters named "THE WARNING", to open up for them. They was extremely kind and supporting of them, and treated them as equals. Sharing the stage lights and full sound system for the 55,000 fans in front of that massive stage, these little Ladies ages 17, 20, & 22 got that massive crowd fired up so well, that the band Muse took notice. When Muse came to Mexico for 4 shows, they asked These gals to be the main supporting act for them as well, in 3 major cites, with even larger crowds. These power rockers didn't disappoint, they melted faces across the country. so much, that Muse took them to Europe to open 9 major shows, and festivals there, including Rock am Ring/Park. They was so well received there, that they are returning April 2024 for a month long 19 show tour, then again for Wacken! Yes, they was in the first group of bands invited there. I would love for you check out one of the two (or both) songs they just played, on the 2023 MTV VMA's. More & Evolve. I know you will love them Diane. 💓

[@ieyke]

Dave Grohl is the last true rock god. Other musicians are putting on an act. They're trying to seem cool and build a personality, and portray themselves in a certain way. Dave Grohl's not doing any of that. This is just naturally who he is and what he does. He's a super nice, chill, genuine dude who's super charitable and like rolls up to soup kitchens to help and stuff, and he just dresses like a lumberjack or Jesus or lounges around in a t-shirt or whatever, and hangs out with his buds. He was the drummer for Nirvana. He was already part of something legendary before he decided to become his own legend. After the death of Kurt Cobain he went on to found the Foo fighters, and instead of being the drummer he became the guitarist and lead singer, and he's transcended far beyond anything Nirvana ever accomplished. He's happy to be goofy, he knows how to be intense and he knows how to sit there and build the energy in a crowd for like 10 minutes and then make the crowd explode. He's super easy going and rolls with the punches. One time he broke his leg in the middle of a concert, so he just grabbed a chair and he sat there and he played the rest of the concert with a broken leg after they put his leg in a cast. No big deal. So many other musicians put so much effort into trying to rock and maintaining a persona, and Dave Grohl just naturally does it. And other musicians know it. Like if you've ever watched Jack Black's band Tenacious D and their music video for the song 'Tribute', or the Tenacious D movie The Pick Of Destiny, In both cases Dave grohl plays the devil himself, which is a call back to folklore and legends about how The Devil would show up to make deals with musicians and give them their talents in exchange for their souls. So basically Jack Black cast Dave Grohl as effectively the god of music. And the song that you were talking about, 'Learn To Fly', You need to go rewatch that music video, or rather watch it for the first time ever I guess. And there you will see how much of an absolute goober Dave Grohl actually is, because he plays numerous characters in that video, including little girls and stewardesses and the pilot, etc (Jack Black and Kyle G. from Tenacious D are both in that music video too) And even more highly recommended I would say you should go watch 'Everlong'. Which I think is probably pretty universally recognized as their best song. It's kind of got a very different underlying tone and vibe from 'The Pretender'. Where 'The Pretender' is an abrasive challenge, battle cry, and defiance against like political corruption, lies, manipulation, and abuse of power.... .....'Everlong' is dark, smooth, melancholy, somber, wistful, longing.... It's gorgeous. Dave Grohl was also the drummer for The Queens Of The Stone Age at their peak, at THE SAME TIME that he was leading the Foo Fighters. He is also the drummer for Them Crooked Vultures. You should also check out his series of videos where he's having a back and forth drumming contest with a little girl who's an amazing drummer. It's just like a series of KZbin videos they kept sending each other. It was awesome. And then I think she ended up actually playing with the Foo Fighters in the end, at one of their shows. He had her come up and be the drummer for 'Everlong'. The man is just an absolute legend. (FTR The Foo Fighters just recently lost their drummer to drug overdose. RIP)

[@randalmayeux8880]

Hi Diane! Am I too late? I was talking to a friend I haven't heard from in 25yrs. Sorry. This may seem like heresy, but I like them better than Nirvana, which is who they were before Kurt checked out. Love to you and your furry little friend. Have a great weekend, bye!

[@LordLaroyalty]

I have more songs from Foo Fighters on my playlist right now than any other band. Currently at 15. They aren't my #1 favorite band, but you might consider them my favorite since I've never liked 15 songs from any other band this much. I've liked their old songs my whole life. In my opinion, their older songs are good, but their new songs are f###### AMAZING!!! Their best new songs in order for me are: 1. Love Dies Young. First time I heard it was a few months ago in a popular Asian restaurant in Tulsa that is very family-friendly. It's called Roku. 2. Rescued 3. Under You 4. Making A Fire Plus, Dave Grohl is just an all around great dude! I feel like you would love a band called The Killers, so I'm recommending them. They are my favorite band. I'm guessing you also like Flogging Molly as much as I do as well, so that also makes me want to request a very popular band among emo and goth people called My Chemical Romance.

[@battmale]

I took a long while to become a fan of them. Went to see a concert and was immediately hooked, they are a very good band, the late Taylor Hawkins was one of the best drummers out there. Grohl is known for his generosity, often invites audience members onstage to participate and has gifted them guitars. There is a video of a tribute concert for Hawkins that is worth watching, Hawkins 16 year old son is also a budding drummer and plays one of the most energetic performances you will ever see.

[@DianeJennings]

[@iJGrimmX]

Great reaction Diane! Foo Fighters have long been one of my favourite bands and this song is my fav from them. Glad you liked it! If I can suggest another band to react to, the band The Warning is a great rock band with music in a similar style to the Foo Fighters. The Warning have opened for the Foo Fighters before in their home country of Mexico and are going on their first full headlining tour of Europe in April. They toured Europe last year doing festivals and opening for various bands including Muse, who invited them to come to England to open for them after hearing them when they opened for Muse in Mexico. The Warning consists of three sisters, Daniella (lead guitar and vocals), Paulina (Drums and vocals), and Alejandra (Bass guitar and backing vocals). They sing mostly in English, but do have a couple of Spanish songs in their repertoire. I'll warn you (pun intended) that they are incredible even though they are still quite young (the youngest sister will turn 19 next month), and they are incredible musicians and song writers. All their songs are good, but try starting off with Dust to Dust, Choke, Animosity, or Survive. The Warning rabbit hole is quite deep. 😀

[@mst3ktemple421]

Rather than Emo lets say Alt rock, grunge or hard rock. Absolutely amazing band with tons of great songs. Listen to everything by them. Since you liked The Pretender you will find dozens of songs in that vein as well as other types of rock.

Back in the 60s and 70s we just called it rock or hard rock. In the '90s, Alternative Rock was new hard rock. Classic Rock was 60s and 70s hard rock. It was all rock. In the 80s, kids listened to 60s and 70s music because the 80s music was vapid wretch. Then there was a lot of the 2000s and 2010s when rock sort of died out. Except for bands like The Warning.

The Foo Fighters music video on the airplane was probably for "Learn to Fly" and I think it featured Jack Black. It's kind of funny. You should also react to their "Everlong" music video. It's probably my favorite song of theirs.

[@PhoenixWoody]

On top of this.... check out PRINCE who thought so much of David Grohl / Foo Fighters that he played Best of You during the super bowl. A TRUE Recognition of talent.

Ireland is the only country visited by extra terrestrials, they know it’s the only place where you can get a decent pint 😂😂😂❤

...then they come down to Spain for tapas and sun .. hahah

[@agiel7791]

I deeply love the Foo Fighters. Nirvana was one of my favorites in high school and Foo Fighters were my college years. Everlong is still in my top ten favorite songs ever list. I love how you have opened yourself up to listening and reviewing all these artists!

[@rickeycarey4556]

Did You know Foo Fighters played Led Zeppelins Rock And Roll live at Wembley Stadium with Zed Zeppelin band members Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones. Two Bands Jamming the 70s Classic song.

[@DianeJennings]

I didn’t!

[@rickeycarey4556]

@@DianeJennings the music video is on KZbin on the foo fighters page.

[@williamyates694]

No no no!!! Emo??? Just.... NO girl!!! WRONG!!! You may lose people on that right there.

[@MarkoMakela-kk7qf]

90's grunge was much harder and sincere as the time's heavy music. No wonder Nirvana and later on Foo Fighters had their explosive succees. 90's kids with consoles and all were not so much to the devil theme anymore... Too bad this era of music fell short. Now there is left only 30's To Mars and good pop and brilliant new wawe of late dubstep and like Tropical House by KYGO, WHO IS A BRILLIANT GUY IN ALL RESPECTS, but we lack rock like this... or punk what ever you want it to be called... I can't anymore listen todays rock but with some exceptions a it doesn't give anything anymore. If Jared and Shannon quits... we will have a time without a real rock unless someone brave enough tries to make what he/she or what they wan't to do regardles of anything else. This stupid TV-Show filled X-Factor, Idols and all the fucking nonsense has to stop. No one really want's to hear some one else to sing what you have already heard. We want more, but in class:P

[@nettiemac]

Oh you’ve just stumbled into an AMAZING rabbit hole of goodness!!

[@michaelbriefs9764]

Diane, the Foos are not Emo. But, that's OK. Let's move on. You should check out the Official video of "Best of You", "My Hero", "Times Like This", "Everlong" (live from Wembley stadium), and "Breakout"!!! These are great Foo songs and great videos! *** By the way, the live video of "Best of You", from Wembley stadium, is also freaking amazing! The Foos are BELOVED the world over and for good reason. Dave Grohl and the band represents the best of us.

[@PhoenixWoody]

I do hope you learn the history of The Foo Fighters and Nirvana... the TRAGIC history. They are ALL SO EPIC. :-)

[@randymarple9830]

So if you like The Foo Fighters, you should check out a band they had open for them to start their Mexico/South American tour in 2022. The band is called THE WARNING, 3 sisters who love Rock&Roll , from Mexico. React to DISCIPLE, from the 2022 Teatro Metropolitan CDMX sold out concert. Once you do, you will be hooked. Any of the 23 songs from that concert will amaze you. The girls are now 23, 21, and 19yrs old and have been a band for 10 years. Yeah, the math boggles the mind!!

[@steveghawtin]

Good god. I'm not sure how to process this reaction. It's just....wierd. I'm a little bit worried about...well all of it.

[@scott5669]

I've got a young band for you!!!! There a Rock Band of 3 young sisters! 22-20 &18 & these 3 sistters kick major Ass! I promise you!! The Band is called The Warning & the song is called Evolve they just appeared on the MTV VMA"s & played this song & almost brought the roof down! I promise you one song from them will leave you wanting more!!! You've been Warned!!!!!

[@nathanjacobus3577]

I highly recommend the song My Hero played with Taylor's son Shane Hawkins.. Very moving tribute.

[@thamoose2179]

Foo Fighters are not "Emo"... they are remnants of "Grunge" . They're really a Grunge/Alternative Band

[@legalizitt]

FF - Everlong, My Hero, These Days. My top three. Pearl Jam - Black MTV Live. Chrissie Hynde's cover of Creep.

[@RaymondSolo]

Your beautiful Diane! Very beautiful! Don't ever think your not, I bet your a really nice person to.

[@Yipping_Yeti]

Post Grunge Rock sounds accurate...definitely not emo.

[@jameskearney4100]

At one concert Dave Grohl fell off the stage breaking his leg. He came back onstage in a cast and wheel chair and finished the concert!!!!

[@DianeJennings]

That’s epic performer status

[@josephcarino5829]

With a doctor holding his leg

[@martinkasper197]

I think that was in Göteborg 🇸🇪...

[@MikeMendenhall-g9g]

I almost choked on my drink just now! You listened to Britney Spears OVER FOO FIGHTERS! the talent is not on the same level if fact Britney is in a sub basement! ok I take it back a little. you were probably a 16 year old girl which was and is her base audience. expand your listening pleasure beyond the basement. There is a lot out there.

[@edkeaton]

Happy Friday Diane! I'm not too up on the Foo Fighters or any of their music. I'm an 80s baby so I tend to gravitate more towards the music that I grew up on. This band has a pretty good sound to them and it looked like you were jamming out to them. I always enjoy your reactions to new music that you never listened to before. Glad you enjoyed them. Have a great weekend and a blessed month. Be well and rock on dearie! 😎👍❤️🎉🙂

If you are up for a real surprise listen to BAND-MAID. Five outstanding musicians from Japan, ladies who wear maid clothes and play rock-n-roll. They finished their 10th anniversary world tour in November. I’ve seen them live and it was one of the best shows I’ve seen in a long time. Watch the official live video of ‘Puzzle.’ “An impossibly hard rocking maid band.”

[@aliselynch]

You definitely gotta hear Best Of You, Everlong, Learn to Fly, My Hero. Those are some Foo classic necessities

[@brianr101010]

Green Day is not really "EMO", they refer to themselves as "Punk" and I consider them "Punk Adjacent" almost mainstream.

[@chappy48]

Strike 1...calling the opening an acoustic guitar. Strike 2...calling this emo. Luckily you hit a home run the rest of the song lol.

[@cixelsyd40]

You should check out their performance of Everlong with Nandi Bushell

[@lionheart9375]

Since you seem to have a natural rhythm for rock n roll should listen to 🔥🔥WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE 🔥🔥 GUNS N ROSES 😎

[@ogee634]

Try reviewing the Romantics, “What I like about you” for a party tune and Soundgarden’s, “Black hole sun” for another distinct vocalist.

[@clintkaster6269]

"Anti-drug" is both obvious AND more complicated. Dave was certainly exposed to recreational drugs (weed and LSD) but his personal bent seems more toward lots of coffee to fuel his relentless creativity (lots of interviews, including one where he went to his doctor with caffein overdose symptoms). Just as obviously, he's seen the dark side of heroin on multiple occasions. He doesn't seem like a prude, just someone who knows what can happen. The REST of the band (originally) started off as half of emo-ish Seattle rockers Sunny Day Real Estate and the early rotation of second guitarists drew from Dave's existing relationships (Pat Smear, fucking legend, was on and off again; Franz Stahl played for the band that first took Dave on the road as a teen). I'm an old fart now, apparently, but grew up in the nascent Seattle scene and saw the early days of all this stuff in dripping basements and illegal clubs that would hold 40 kids and a band under a bare lightbulb. Seriously. It was like that. The "upscale" place to play had invested in an Army-surplus parachute as their big decor item. Mid-80's, the city fathers got worked up about all-age shows and effectively banned them which relegated the under-21 music scene to odd corners and keg parties and there was a lot of time with you and 12 friends smoking dope and taking turns on instruments. From such things are greatness born.

[@markusjackel2132]

Emo ? ...Hmm....I dont think so.....Throw these little wimpy Emo Kds in the Pit on a FF Concert and lets see how they deal with that Energy. The Foos are everything but Emo.....Have a look at the Wembley Concert from FF and then lets talk about Emo again...but we dont mind. You are on a journey and that means you are willing to explore. Thats good. Beside that : All Hail Queen Floor of Nightwish
