The stage coming down at our end was an excellent touch, the band,sound and participation with the crowd was killer. Boo to the fools who threw anything on the stage, poor manners. I would definitely go again. Foo Fighters are the best!!! | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/8/2008 I was impressed at how great their concert was in council bluffs. When someone gave Dave Grohl the finger for introducing the triangle solo, Dave told the guy to suck the whole bands' dicks if he thought he was better lol. The whole concert was kick ass!!!!! Rock'N'Roll | Reviewer: MetalMan | 3/27/2008 I've seen the Foo Fighters twice now... and what can I say they become better and better. Dave actually will put on a great show and give your money's worth! I must say the best thing about the whole concert had to be the TRIANGLE PLAYER... Drew! I couldn't beleive Dave actually had a triangle player! And to my surprise this guy was good! All I can say The Foo brings a lot of intensity to the stage and it's fun to see and be a part of! Cant Get Enough | Reviewer: Hatchi | 3/1/2008 i just love the Foo Fighters; what can i say im addicted. Dave Grohl is such a good singer, i was on youtube and watched him sing "Stairway to Heaven" even though he forgot some of the words, he sang it almost as good as Led Zep himself. Rock On Foo Fighters!~ Now and Forever Had to say this.. | Reviewer: Sam | 2/6/2008 I was reading this and got to the part where it says "Kurt Cobain's suicide..", I don't think this should be written because it hasn't been confirmed that it was suicide or murder. Now, I believe it was murder so I don't like how it says "suicide". If possible, I would be very thankful if this could be changed to "death" and not "suicide". Sam. well written | Reviewer: literary critic | 11/15/2007 re: dennis green ...nice job on the pretender visualization. its rare to find a great post, and it's appreciated! oh yeah, foo fighters rock! u all need a life | Reviewer: monker | 11/12/2007 well, i think the foo fighters are ok. their new song “the pretender” has a good sound. ido not idolize them by any means though. i believe also that you all are much too obsessed with them. you give them undying devotion, but if you met them in person, they would probably tell you to get lost. anyhow, if you intend on bashing me for this post, save yourselves the time of proving to me that you are all a bunch of mindless drones because i will probably never come back to this post to check on your futile attempts to somehow defend the dignity of a group of musicians you will probably never meet in your lifetimes. this is just my freedom of speech and showing that i dont have to be a hard core fan like everyone else. if you find yourselves preturbed or disgruntled from this post, you seriously need to rethink your life and see if you are one of the men in black in the new music video. You Can't Play Here | Reviewer: Dennis Green | 11/5/2007 “The Pretender,” a slashing beast of a thing, at least to me, for I have a hard-earned and well-developed sense of resistance to Authority, a disrespect for it that borders on violence. Because Authority falls so often to bullies to enforce it, and this is the lyrical and visual context to “The Pretender.” Screen opens with a huge expanse of white flooring and industrial warehouse girders and structural geometry and deep shadows surrounding it. David Grohl steps up to the microphone. He’s slender, wearing a white t-shirt and skinny black pants. His dark hair is long, and as he moves it swings into his face. He holds his guitar and plucks a few strings. A gentle, acoustic sound tentatively fills the screen. It sounds like a ballad coming down. (“Keep you in the dark…”) Then, as his band mates take their places, a lone figure emerges from the darkness on the opposite side of this arena, a figure swathed in tight black leather head to toe, slapping a trenchant slowly with one heavily-gloved hand into the other. It is the storm trooper of sheer, mute Authority. A jack-booted, mindless, implacable enforcer of the Law. What law? Any law, anywhere, anyone wants in place. Fair or civil or civic or not. Mute dumb Authority. “You can’t play here,” the figure is saying without speaking. “You just can’t play here, Kid. That’s just the way it is. That’s what the law says. That’s just the way it is. No playing. No loud noises. None of your insolent crap. I represent the Law, with the menace a mere afterthought.” Managed mania. And how can you possibly argue with that? How can you possibly dissent, or put up any resistance. On the other hand, he’s just one guy and I’ve got me band mates. The figure in black pulls down the helmet’s clear plastic shield that is his faceplate…and then from the deep shadows behind him step fifty, a hundred more just like him, each and every one of them slowly slapping a truncheon into his gloved hand. As Grohl sings, “What if I say I’m not like the others?/What if I say I’m not just another one of your plays?/You’re the pretender./What if I say I’ll never surrender?/What if I say I’ll never surrender!/What if I say I’ll never SURRENDER!” in super-slo motion, the heavy black line of troopers advances toward the band members, to crush them under the sheer weight of their powers of enforcement. Suddenly, a few hushed lines, almost imperceptible. And then — SMASH! — from behind the band come flying torrents of blood, a shitstorm of blood and particulate matter, a furious wind shear of blood, a cyclone of blood, hurling itself with great fury and purpose toward the menacing leather clad brotherhood of Zombies and flings them backward, tears them to pieces and dismembers them, and as Grohl sings XXXX and falls exhausted to the floor, we’re left aloe with a darkened screen wondering why all of this, every brutal second, feels so goddamned fucking familiar. What if I say I will never surrender? What if old Kurt Cobain hadn’t blown his brains out? Would there even BE a Foo Fighter? What if I say I’m not like the others? The Zeitgeist is changing again, my friend. We seem to have a Full-Tilt Boogie Revolution going on, a Second American Revolution, against conformity and authority, and as usual, it’s started with the artist.
