@@cameronpritchett8300 You obviously don't know who Josh Freese is and you haven't heard him play in other bands.

I mean, are you listening to his drumming through your arse? No offense! Now, if he's a temporary solution, that remains to be seen.

This was such a Foo’s way of introducing Josh. And I love their goofiness. They’ve always had fun and don’t care about others negativity.

After seeing Rufus' emotional and spot-on performances at both tribute shows, I was convinced he was the guy for the job (and that's outside of him being an absolute ringer for Taylor). But I was also not OK with him not being in The Darkness anymore. I know you guys struggled to find the right drummer for a while there but Rufus seems to a perfect (and poetic) fit. Getting Freese works out perfectly, though. He was my second pick. Josh is an absolute monster talent and will bring an amazing energy to their live show (and studio work, if they should ever choose to use his services there). And The Darkness soldiers on with its definitive lineup.

As a die hard Foo fan (hell I have the FF tattooed on my shoulder) I'm glad they went with Josh. He and Rufus were the two who fit in seamlessly during the tribute concerts. From a sentimental aspect, Rufus would have been great because of his personal connection to Taylor, but at the same time I have no doubt Dave was not going to "steal" him from The Darkness. Overall for me, Josh Freese is a great choice and based on the rest of that 1 hour jam session, I think the future is bright as the Foo Fighters continue on.

I was at the first show of that tour and Dave told us: "This is our first night playing an arena show as a band!...." That night, they did what VH did opening for Sabbath in England. The Chilli's had a, disappointingly, low energy set but the Foo's blew the roof off the joint and all 4 of us agreed they should have been closing the show instead of opening. I can't believe it's been as long as 24 years. Thanks to Dave for reminding me of that night! Any glowing memory from my past is so often hard to grasp, having to reach down and blindly fumble around in the muck, pull it to the surface and then cleaning it off before I can revel in it. Having me a melancholy smile right now. The first show I went to with my wife, other than when she came to my own - which wasn't quite the same because she was in the crowd and not at my side. It wasn't too much later that I lost her to a stretch of road on an early, October morning. Seems like I'm remembering some other guy's life. It really does feel like I'm borrowing someone else's experiences. I can still see and hear Dave and the lad's in my mind's eye - still hear Dave saying making that announcement and turning to my wife and lead guitarist in amazement and saying, "No way?!" Can't believe it's been so long since I've watched a Foos show in person. Good on ya's Foo guys. Have fun out there.

I also went to see the Foos and Chilis around that time. Columbus, OH, but Dave got sick and so the Foos didn't play. Just like you experienced, the RHCP were surprisingly low energy, just going through the motions. It was very unmemorable other than the Foos canceling (and some fans were irritated because they couldn't get their money back because it wasn't a double bill. RHCP were the headliners, not the Foo Fighters, and you don't get refunds if only the opening band cancels). I eventually saw it reported that Dave was out on the town the next night singing at a karaoke bar, which irritated me at the time. Though I guess it's pretty unreasonable that Dave would fake sickness 'to get out of work', lol. Years later he played with a broken leg, after all.

Justin... loved you since the release of your first single and bought the album, thus falling in love. Have you ever lostened to Deaf havana?? Theyve been going for a good while but are in their early 30s and still releasing fantastic music. I wonder if you could check out 'going clear' from their new album and maybe their older stuff to see how they merged their rock/alternative heavy music with some synth beatifulness. But an old song you need to hear is 'aneamophobia'!! Its a true masterpiece. Even just for your own pleasure i highly recommend it.

I love how Justin is legit the nicest most positive human ever and his thumbnails are like Keemstar levels of negative. Genius
