Foo Fighters

For my first review, i thought that i'd go over the god of modern rock, Dave Grohl, and his band, the Foo Fighters. Dave Grohl is the epitome of a modern rock legend. A lot of people would know Dave Grohl not by his part of the Foo Fighters, but that he is the ex-Drummer of one of the most famous grunge bands of all time, Nirvana. After the death of Kurt Cobain, Dave started his own project, to start a new band. This band is the foo fighters, and even though Grohl was known for his talent on the drumset, he took on the part of the lead vocalist for the Foo Fighters. With Dave's strong lead male vocals and a love for rock guitar in mind, the Foo Fighters managed to survive the rock explosion. Ever since then, they have been growing rapidly and forming an enormous fan base.

But enough background. What do I think about the Foo Fighters? Well, my love for the Foos started in Guitar Hero, actually. The Pretender was probably one of my most played songs on that game, I simply adored the quick tempo of the music and the phenomenal vocals and instrumentals. But other than that, I never thought too much about the band, but I just assumed that The Pretender was another amazing song that Guitar Hero introduced me to, like so many times before. But on one fateful, boring day, I decided i needed more music to listen to. So naturally, i hop right on to Pandora radio and put in a search for The Pretender. That one search is what opened my eyes to the Foo Fighters. I love how their music never hit a rough patch. Their music stays at an exiting pace from start to end. With a sound similar to the Red Hot Chili Peppers, I found that the Foo Fighter's music certainly did not dull with age, like a countless amount of other bands. But in stead, the Foo Fighters music continued to be great, if not better! Even in still releasing music to this day, Foo Fighter's songs never fail to make it on to the radio and be very popular. Many people have heard of the Foos but don't even know it. For example, try listening to songs like Everlong, or My Hero. Most people have heard those songs. Also, because i know that many people reading this blog go to Princeton high school, The Pretender was the song that was preformed as the grand finale at rock the house (Rock 4 a cause) last year (2012) sang by Schiele Preston. Overall, i believe that the Foo Fighters is one of the greatest rock bands today, their music never fails to satisfy and they have a song for everyone.

Thank you all for reading and stay tuned for next week!
