Fuck this is not even in the same league as PJ.

If you’ve happened to have heard previous hits such as Monkey Wrench and Times Like These and not (even secretly) enjoyed them, then you’re a cold-hearted wretch indeed


Then consider me a cold hearted wretch (perhaps you new that already, haha)

This band is boring. No invention, no excitement, just pedestrian rock.

Probot is a cool CD and NIrvana I haven't listened to for years but would probably still enjoy them, although not as much as I used to. That Unplugged album is great....

But Foo FIghters? Nonononononono more like Poo Fighters

probably not fitting very well on this side... But I frickin love this band. Watching them this summer, can't wait. Can see why people find this boring though, they have been sticking in pretty much the same style alot.


But honestly not in killer songs? Happens? That song is just awesome.

I love anti-conformity. :lol:

I never bothered with the Foo Fighters in the past, due to my close-mindedness, but I think that now I'll give them a shot.

Whitesnake and Bon Jovi shouldn't be on this site either, as they aren't technically metal.

Dave Grohl is the man, Foo Fighters are shitty. Also, if I'm in a quiet music mood, I'll throw on some Holst or Rachmaninoff, not Foo Fighters. Fuck rock. Seriously. I can't stand 90% of it, no matter how relevant to metal it is, and that was true before I was listening to metal as well.

They are, and I'm branching out. Expect diversity in my reviews in the future, which doesn't necessarily mean a lot more Rock...

The whole album's good, killer songs are the ones that really stood out.

Give them a try, Scotto. Hardly reinventing the wheel, but they do what they do damn well.

Early Pearl Jam or Whitesnake are fine but Foo Fighters seriously? Even when they were semi-decent rock they're albums as a whole were worthless besides three good tracks. Now, they're music, like it always was really, is just bland.

Probot was good.

I dunno there are far better mainstream rock bands out there IMO... This site needs Wildhearts reviews! oooh yes then if you don't like them they can come round and smash your office up like they did to Kerrang. Anyone that doesn't like them deserves it, of course :P

I agree that it's a classic, I just don't see how it's influenced metal.

Grunge sucks. End of story. Just because we don't like Grunge doesn't mean we're BROOTAL ELITISTS, Grunge is just a terrible genre.
