New Foo Fighters tune

octatonic

Bridge section is excellent, the rest of it is like an AM radio cover version of some rejected My Bloody Valentine track.

Surely what counts is whether something is interesting/exciting/engaging/moving or provocative.... the instruments used to make the music don't really matter surely....

its time for bands like the Foo's, Kings of Leon etc to move over.  

To quite a lot of us the instruments do matter.  

Who do you want them to move over for? More Grime or X Factor winners? Because that's what sells at the mo

Whilst I roughly agree with @Placidcasual79  I guess for those of us with an interest in guitar based music and guitar gear have a vested interest in any guitar music keeping the interest in the instrument going. 

And although I don't really listen to grime I get that it's a rebellious youthful music ( or something like that) and I think that's a good thing because the churn of the history of western popular music has been driven by each wave rebelling against the last. Not sure if I have much defence of the X Factor/ The Voice type twaddle other than keeping at least one member of this forum in employment...

Supposed to be based on the Thriller video ( some of the same people involved as well I think).

@Flink_Poyd ;I'd like them to move over for something new, exciting interesting, engaging moving or provocative please.

As for the Xfactor well I am fairly sure sh*t manufactured pop music has been about for ever and probably always will be as long as there is a buck to be made. I don't expect the sea not to be wet. 

Also I am fairly sure that the future of the guitar doesn't depend on the Foo Fighters or the Kings of Leon - in fact I am fairly sure those sorts of bands turn kids of guitar music or perhaps some one will pick up a guitar to spite such crappy music.

Ouch.. a lot of dislike toward FF here!

I have to say it took me to the In Your Honor album to get into them. Now, I can't listen to disc 2 of that album still but disc 1 is killer. I also loved Echoes..., Wasting Light is phenomenal. Sonic Highways is great, I didn't think the doco was necessary to enjoy it though. It seemed redundant. 

I then got the earlier stuff and the only one I don't really like is the first album.

Saw them live last time they came to Brisbane and enjoyed it. 

Definitely a fan.
