Thanks for this!

foo fighters is one of the shittiest bands ive ever heard

I agree with you Treasure Moment.
I don't know what the big deal with this band is? totally non musical in my opinion more noise than skill and poise.
It's a bit sad Rog and Bri attaching themselves to these mediocre bands to remain in the spotlight.
Bri & Rog when you wake up and smell the coffee you were parts of the greatest Rock Band ever so no need to kiss ass with all these C-lebrity bands and those cunts off X-factor that women who crucified wwtlf tut tut.......

Nobody said the Foo Fighters are reinventing the wheel, but they are far from being a "C-lebrity band."  They are one of the few bands to have survived the 90s and are still going strong today.  They are definitely one of the better bands out there today.  The spirit of 70s rock is alive in them even though their sound isn't dated to sound like it.

Furthermore, listen to Cyborg off Brian's album Another World.  Taylor Hawkins is great drummer, and the Foo Fighters are a great band.

I actually like Foo Fighters quite a bit...been a fan of theirs since the debut album. Dave Grohl is one talented mofo, as is Taylor Hawkins. I think Taylor's new album, with or without Brian and Roger is a fantastic piece of work. It's my opinion, and I'm entitled to it. Don't like it? Sorry! :)

The Foo Fighters are among my top 3 favorite rock bands.  You will automatically dislike any band if you aren't familiar with their music catalogue.  Just look at how some people percieve Queen.  Some think they're just a bunch of tossers.  I would encourage anyone who dislikes the Foo Fighters to give them a second chance too.

The Foos a "C-lebrity" band?  What a ridiculous statement....

talented? TM has 100 times more talent, go and listen to any of the songs on my page and tell me foo fighter is more talented.

How's that record deal coming, TM?  There are thousands of indie labels who pick up a wide diversity of music, so no using the "record labels only pick crap artists" line.

we havent searched anything and dont even know if its such a good idea to have a record deal. As ive said 100 times before selling millions of albums isnt an indication of how talented an artist is, just look at all the talentless rappers, britney, Mr transvestite gaga etc.

How do you expect to promote yourself to the public then?  By posting demos of incomplete songs on youtube and saying that nearly everyone else sucks?

First off, the Foo Fighters are one of the best true rock acts out there today. They're a throwback band that mixes some of everything, and they do it well. They also put on some of the best straightforward rock shows you're going to find, and yes, they are talented musicians.

Second, TM, I listened to your demos...and yes, the Foos are better. Way better. But that's just my opinion--and the opinion of everyone on Queenzone. We're just a few hundred music enthusiasts scattered around the four corners of the planet. What the heck do we know?

Sir GH: i havent even started promoting and contacting lables yet, the problem has always been the singer, we have a lot of quality music but never managed to find a singer who is capable of singing to it but we ll solve that. the music is still better than all the mainstream bands combined.

thunderbold: you have to be out of your mind to say that a shitty simple band who plays noise is better than TM but its your opinion and thats ok, in reality though they are nowhere TMs level in any way.
