Quoted for mother ing truth....
Dave Grohl was not an origional member (nor touring member) of QOTSA. I think he just
did studio work on one album so you can't even really call him a member.
Man, the Foo have changed so much. The first album was ALL GROHL. Dude made every single piece of sound on that album, which is amazing. He was literally a one man band.
And the band has come a LONG way. They're really nig good.
Bur Nirvana is Nirvana. And had Kurt not been murdered, who knows where they would have gone. Its an unfair comparisson, and as much as I love Nirvana I can't say they were "better".
Gay....
what the , wheres my post?
.
Well, I'm gonna echo some of what Manny said. Dave only did work on that one QOTSA album, and he really over-praises bands when he has a hand in them. He said great things about Verbena, Killing Joke, The Sounds, Tenecious D and so on. But I will say that Songs for the Deaf is easily one of the best albums in teh past 10 years. Jman3000, if you like that stoner rock sound, you'll probably dig Eagles of Death Metal, which Josh Homme has a hand in as well.
That first album was amazing and that's what probably puts Foo Fighters ahead of Nirvana for me. Most of that was written when Dave was with Nirvana which makes it even better. Also, one of my favorite Nirvana songs is a B-side Dave wrote and sang on.
Now I like Nirvana and all, especially when I was in high school, In Utero never gets old, but Kurt did put a lot of crap out too. If anyone says Bleach is a great album, they're lying.
oh my god
you really are that conservative aren't you
Nirvana, but the band Nirvana ripped off extensively, The Pixies, owns both.
Nirvana, hands down
i like staind
Slayer>Sepultura>Pantera>Metallica
Alice in Chains>Soundgarden>Nirvana>Pearl Jam
SOD>Anthrax>Mod
All of the above > Foo Fighters
You know what's funny, a few years ago Killing Joke claimed Nirvana ripped off Come As You Are from them, which no one really took seriously. But the Foo Fighters did a cover of a Killing Joke song (Requiem) as a B-side for the My Hero single, then Dave went and drummed on an album for them about 3 years ago. That was pretty interesting. That Killing Joke album, the Death and Ressurrection show owns though.
Weird, considering you are a Mav's fan and all ...
well naturally slayer reigns from upon, but sepultara couldnt hold megadeths smegma
Dude Sepultura rocks. "Dead Embryonic Cell" and "Chaos A.D." are some of their best songs. I still haven't heard it all but they got some good .
Nirvana to me has one of the best rock songs ever in "Smells Like Teen Spirit"...but...Foo Fighters is the better band now. I mean, if Nirvana was still together, I would think my answer would be different.
To the comments about QOTSA above: I know that Dave was not an original member of QOTSA, that would belong to just 2 people, Josh Homme and Alfredo Garcia. Contrary to popular believe, Nick Oliveri didn't play bass on the self led album he just did the early tours. I really don't want to sound like a know it all on the situation, but I don't know many people who are into anything they have done before SFTD and arguably the best work they have put out has only been heard by the bigger fans. IMHO, Rated R, QOTSA(self led), many many b-sides, and even many of the Desert Sessions are as good if not better then SFTD.
To eriks, if you like Eagles of Death Metal (personally one of my favorite bands.... I've had Death By Sexy since November.... even though it doesnt come out till April : X ) and other Josh Hommes produced stuff, you should check out Kyuss. It's a lot heavier then anything QOTSA have put out but it really blows a lot of the stuff that's coming out now out of the water, even though their first album was well over 15 years ago.
Probably a lot of people don't know or don't care about what I'm talking about, but if anybody gives these bands a listen, they will truely find something that is unique and not processed in anyway.
What the kind of dumb-ass question is this? That's like asking who's better between Ice Cube and 50 Cent.
You know I tried with Kyuss and even Mondo Generator and neither really did it for me. I don't know, maybe I'll give Kyuss another shot. You can catch a few Death By Sexy songs on LimeWire, but there's a lot of bull to weed through to find it. Rated R is probably the album that really got me into them when I caught the Monsters of Parasol video on MTV2 a looooong time ago. Also, as far as the first record goes, Regular John is easily one of the best songs live.
Foo Fightas'
You really have to listen to Kyuss through the right speakers. If you're not listening to it through good speakers it really doesnt give it justice. This is probably more a product of the age of the recordings then anything. I'm a big fan of guitar riffs and sounds, not so much a particular genre or anything. If youre interested in giving their stuff a listen I recommend: One Inch Man, Jumbo Blimp Jumbo, Spaceship Landing (11 minute song w/ 3 minute guitar solo), Thumb, Writhe, Allen's Wrench, Fatso Forgotso, ALL of Welcome to Sky Valley, Stage III, and Isolation Desolation. If you have a Soulseek account my name is Jman3000 there as well.
I like Megadeth. I really do. My favorite album from them is "Peace sells, but Who's Buying?"
But have you ever listened to
Man that drumming for the Probot album is rad. If any of you guys dig metal like Motorhead, you'll dig this Dave Grohl project.
uhhh nirvana hands down, it's not even remotely close. maybe you just had to be a teen when nirvana hit it big, but they changed my life and millions of others. grohl should have stayed behind the kit.
It's like asking which branch of physics has the most psychedelic ramifications: classical or quantum?
