Q: How early should I arrive at Foo Fighters concert?
I am going to a Foo Fighters concert soon and it is at harley davidson fest. I wanted front row. How early should i get there for front row seats because the tickets are general admission.
A: If it's all general admission, you need to get there as EARLY as you possibly can if you want front row. I mean at 6:00 am or earlier. If you want, call the concert site and see if you can line up the night before. It's a lot of work, but it's worth it. Foo Fighters is a guaranteed kick ass show and you will not be disappointed. Have fun, and bring ear plugs.
Q: What is your opinion of the Foo Fighters?
I've always liked them and they are one of the few bands that can actually put out good original material.
Favorite Foo Fighters song?
Bonus MQ:What is one band you think should not be played or does not fit in with your favorite radio station? Me:105.9 the X in Pittsburgh plays new and old alternative...it sucks that right after Alice in Chains you have to hear Nickelback.
A: I love them. Grohl has a great knack for edgy melodies. GREAT sense of melody they have. They, for me, are a perfect melodic hard rock band. & that's the kinda rock that really appeals to my ears.
Q: What should i wear for a FOO FIghters concert?
i'm going to a Foo Fighters concert on monday and i have no idea what to wear. i know it is inside, but it is REALLY cold outside. please help.
A: JEALOUS!!
converse/vans, skinnies and a simple t shirt. as it's cold i'd suggest a hoody, but remember, no matter how cold it is outside, you boil inside so dont take too many layers because you may not have anywhere to put them.
have fun

Other bands/artists i like are John mayer, iron and wine, the shins, death cab for cutie, foo fighters, coldplay, etc. Suggestions?
A: Below are a few bands you might like, due to the fact that I like a few of those bands you've listed. I've also given you some of their better or good songs, you should also look these bands up on http://en.wikipedia.com/ and look at their singles as most of them are pretty good too.

-The Panics - Try: 'Don't Fight It'
-The Rapture - Try: 'Pieces of People We Love' or 'No Sex for Ben'
-The Killers - Try: looking them up on wikipedia for other songs of their albums, as I'm pretty sure you would of heard most of their singles by now.
-Does it Offend You, Yeah? - Try: 'Dawn of the Dead' (sounds nothing like the name suggests)
-The Church - Try: 'Under the Milyway Tonight'
-Bloc Party - Try: 'Helicopter' or 'The Prayer'
-Vampire Weekend - Try: 'Oxford Comma' or 'Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa'
-Muse - Try: 'Starlight', 'Hysteria', 'Super Massive Black Hole' or 'New Born'
Also try looking up the singles of these bands on wikipedia: the doors, the presets, the clash, R.E.M., the rolling stones, smashing pumpkins, radiohead and !*THE CURE*!
Q: does anyone know where I can find a list of songs that Foo fighters covered- songs originally done by another?
NOT someone covering the Foo Fighters songs.
I heard a song from like the 70's redone by Foo Fighters and it was cool, anyone know where that song list might be?
A: maybe the song from the 70s your referring too is Gerry Rafferty's - Baker Street?? ... it was a b-side off "My Hero"
Q: What is your favorite Foo Fighters music video?
to me..this is a hard question so i understand if you post like 4 faves LOL...anyway if i really had to choose...Learn To Fly is probably my fave. They do such a great job in all of their vids though! :)
What is your fave Foo Fighters vid?
A: My favourite Foo Fighters music video has to be :
Long road to ruin.
It's brilliant and it's great to see Dave Grohl's funny actor side.
It's almost similar to Learn To Fly.
I also love Best Of You, It's original and great.
I also love ' low ' It's a very funny video with jack black and dave grohl dressed as women and the whole video just makes me laugh.
Q: Will the foo fighters come out with a live CD from Glens Falls?
I went to see the foo fighters up in Glens Falls...It was AMAZING!!! but anyways, I was just wondering if they will be coming out with a cd of this concert so I can go out and buy it. If you can send me a website or something answering this question thanks a lot, if not thanks anyways.
A: I'm not really a fan of the Foo Fighters, so I can't say for sure. However, I do think you are asking your question in the wrong area. Wouldn't somewhere other than Travel be more appropriate? I hope you get their CD if and when it comes out. Enjoy!!
Q: what kind of distortion does foo fighters use?
I love the band foo fighters but when i play there songs it sounds wrong I've come to find out that i have the wrong distortion if somebody know what they use in most of there songs that would really help.
Thanks,
Skyler T
A: id say some overdriven grungy sound created over some pedals and multi-effect board.get a grunge distortion pedal ull be able to produce that sound or something very close to it
Q: how much money do mainstream bands like foo fighters and nine inch nails make?
how much money do mainstream bands like foo fighters and nine inch nails make?
A: idk but trent's pretty rich and pretty fucking sexy. Also, they are not mainstream (and that's a good thing).
Q: What are some good songs by Nirvana and the Foo Fighters?
Ok so i just started listening to Nirvana and Foo Fighters and i recently found out that the lead singer in FF was the drummer in Nirvana which is kinda cool
so can you tell me what are some cool songs by both bands and what are their best albums
A: WHY do people always list Nirvana's Singles? They are very good songs but they have a much larger catalog, and better songs that aren't singles.. yeesh.
Best Nirvana:
Sappy
You Know You're Right
Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge On Seattle
All Apologies
Serve the Servants
Scentless Apprentice
Radio Friendly Unit Shifter
Drain You
Lounge Act
Something in the Way
Paper cuts
Floyd the Barber
About a Girl
In regards to Nirvana's best singles, I would say Smells Like Teen Spirit and Heart Shaped Box are the best.
The Foo's:
Let It Die
Summers End
Stranger things have happened
Alone/Easy Target
Big Me
For All The Cows
February Stars
Ever ong
Aurora
Nirvana's best album is In Utero IMO, but that's just me.. I am an Alt Rock person so it would be my favorite, if You're into more commercial rock like the foo's or green day then Nevermind will probably be your favorite, but if you are into metal it will be Bleach.
As for The Foo's best album its a tie between their Debut (or rather his since its all dave grohl) and Echoes Silence Patience and Grace, but the Colour and the Shape is magnificent as well.
Q: are there any other foo fighters like bands?
I have been only listening to the Foo fighters and i would like to know any bands who are the same. I do not like heavy metal nor neo metal. What do you suggest?
A: Try some other alternative rock, like:
Nirvana (better than Foos, but foos are good).
Red hot chilli peppers
The white stripes
The kings of leon
Radiohead
Oasis
Muse
The libertines
Hope you like these. =D
Q: Are the Foo Fighters really going to play in Houston, Texas?
I heard yesterday from my friends that the foo fighters coming to houston. THEY ARE MY MOST FAVORITE BAND OF ALLTIME I LOVE THEM SOOOO MUCH! Please let me know.
A: Houston on the 22nd of this month and Dallas on the 23rd.... ;)
Q: Regarding the song Everlong by the Foo Fighters?
The song Everlong from the Foo Fighters has an instrumental break about half-way through. In the instrumental break there is faint wording that is garbled. It sounds like whitenoise or a telphone What are the words and who is saying them?
A: To me it sounds like Dave Grohl's voice, but it is impossible to understand what he's saying.
Q: I'm very into the Foo Fighters, are there any other bands you would recommend for me?
I absolutely love the Foo Fighters, and before I liked the Foos I loved Weezer until I heard there other albums which were crap ( I only like the Red album) but every single Foo album is unbelevable
I also kinda like the White Stripes, except there a bit weird for me....
Any other bands you guys think i would like?
A: If u only like the red album then u don't deserve to hear good music
