They inducted the greatest band on the planet into the rock n roll hall of fame last night and did a great job of covering 2112 overture decked out in those mid 70's prog rock kimonos!

Just watched a performance of "All my life" on an old episode of Jools Holland.

Incredible!! I never knew the Foo Fighters could be that heavy

Gonna get hold of the 'one by one' album tomorrow.

Better late than never I suppose.

Utopia - they're a Scandanavian Prog Rock group from the late 70's who haven't changed their sound since their debut album.

Got tickets for the Murrayfield gig in the pre sale. This will be my 3rd time seeing them and I'm not even that much of a fan of them. The gigs are fucking tremendous though.

The Wembley and Murrayfield tour dates are right before Glastonbury so it seems highly likely they will be headlining one night.

Got a ticket for ANZ Stadium in Sydney at the end of February. Buzzing. One of the only bands I loved growing up that I haven't seen like. Can't wait.

Foo Fighters cancel two shows after Dave Grohl's leg fracture

Foo Fighters lead singer Dave Grohl had to be taken to the hospital after sustaining a leg injury during a June 12 concert in Sweden, and now representatives for the band have confirmed Grohl suffered a fracture that will require Foo Fighters to cancel two shows.

The band’s June 14 appearance at Pinkpop Festival and June 16 concert in Switzerland have been postponed.

“As witnessed by tens of thousands in attendance at Foo Fighters’ June 12 show at Ullevi Stadium, Dave Grohl took a nasty spill during the second song of the set. With the help of on-site medical staff who patched him up temporarily, Dave was able to rejoin the band to complete that performance,” read a statement. “While the full extent of Dave’s injuries are still being determined, it was confirmed at a post-show hospital visit that he sustained at least one fracture.”

Belgians are getting twitchy,they brought forward Rock Werchter a week to get the Foo Fighters,the festival is normally just after the students have finished their exams so looking like a major backfire,although no one is to blame really.

What a guy, I remember a few weeks ago Maroon 5 were due to perform at the Echo arena and they pulled out because Adam Levine had a sore throat.

Dave fucking Grohl is the man.

I'm going myself but I really doubt they'll cancel, the two they just have are to be expected because of the timing. DG isn't the type of person to cancel unless he really has to. Then again if he required surgery etc..
