Won't Get Foo'd Again

2012-08-30 by JohnXDoesn't | 126 Comments
Or will we? At least that is the question some Foo Fighter fans are still asking after the band closed it's biggest tour ever at England's annual Reading Festival this past weekend.

News travels at 4G speeds these days so it wasn't long before tweeters and tweetettes were tweeting on twitter about Dave Grohl getting all teary eye'd onstage and going all mushy. Tweets poured in about how the hard rock hard ass was loving his kids, thanking his wife, and singing Happy Birthday to his mom in a crowd sing along. 'Fine' thought this scribe as he watched the tweets roll by. He is 43 and acting like it. Family man. Even listens to classic rock. Or so I heard.

But then a tweeter tweeted something about a "last show" and Dave thanking former
bandmates who also happen to be dead, and "last show for a long time." And for many Fighter fans all that prior muck took on a more ominous tone, sounding more a grateful farewell than a "see you next time." Perhaps even a final Farewell?

However Foonatics near and far can rest a bit easier tonight as their beloved Fighters
have gigs coming up in September, the first being at the DNC in N.C. on the 5th, with two
more scheduled down the calendar a bit. However fulfilling post tour commitments and being committed to a band are two different things. And some are still questioning just how long is a "long time," and if at 43 Dave is burning his candle at both ends? Or perhaps after a year plus on the road he is simply a little burned out?

Whatever the case I can almost assure the Foo Fighters will always remain in one form or
another. Like Chrissie Hynde's Pretenders or Billy Corgan's Smashing Pumpkins and Van
Halen's Van Halen, it hardly matters the members but one. And Dave Grohl has been that
member since day one. But don't tell that to Pat Smear who Dave rescued from a life in the punk rock gutter to one of rock n roll riches. No matter if Dave dissolves the band, Pat has been paid. I guess it's nice to have famous fans who say "hey come join my famous band and have a lolz back home about it." Could be worse.

Watch out for Foo Fighters this September at the DNC on the 5th and couple other places.
You'll know it's your town if it's your town. Just look for the Dave Grohl featuring
Foo Fighters
bus.

News articles here are rather plain, but I enjoy that. They just state the news without any sort of fluff. This article basically said "dave seems like he -might- dissolve the foo fighters but they have shows coming up so who knows" but with too many words...didn't they go on hiatus in fall 2009 and come back in 2010 or something?

not articles that are simply "band will release album on month. Click this link (ie. go TO ANOTHER SITE to get all the info)

they show someone actually willing to put a bit of effort into them

they're not about posting retarded shit and taking it seriously

yeah i mean at least when andcas writes a news article it actually reports an event, as trivial as it may be. this is just six paragraphs of wild speculation and failed attempts at humor, and fails to report literally anything at all. like i'm still not even sure what this article is about.

Yes, because that's what I was implying, or that this article was fictitious in anyway

uh ok so basically your comment "Really don't see how this was news worthy" was fucking pointless.


No, I really don't see how it was news worthy, which I believe is what I posted


so basically if I want to make news articles that are out of the boring
norm I have to fabricate shit in a corny comedian demeanor. gotcha.


Not quite sure how you arrived at that conclusion, but I can't say I'm surprised. Nor am I surprised that you and Auber seemed to have an identical brain fart at roughly the same time

Anyone else?

this news is not "joke news." that to me would be fake news. this is real news written / reported by me after researched on the internet

any criticisms pointed my way i am well familiar with already. they have been coming for many years. but i carry on in the spirit of the site which is "this is for you. don't break the rules and use it as you please"

this is why i won't get involved in all this. i will keep writing news or w/e and you lot will keep discussing the news or the article or the author. but my pleasure has already been had. and it was in the writing of it, and the contribution to the site

those are my last words on my use of sputnikmusic.com

I've got no problem with this new article at all, as it is factual and written in a different way. The fact that Andcas' articles are written with a more serious tone doesn't make them any more or any less news-worthy so I don't see that Dev has a point here at all. It's just his opinion, which weighs as much as anybody elses

The problem is that people bitch about things on the Internet for almost no reason because:

A. They have this false notion that people care about their opinions
B. They are anonymous and will reap no real consequences for being dipshits (that's why I do it)
C. Declaring other people stupid makes you feel better about yourself especially if your life sucks
D. People think they are entitled to have their only source of news consist of: "Shitty band I listen to releases music video" and then a link to the video that I've never clicked on before.
E. They act like seeming superior on the Internet is important

And to be fair defjaw's stupidity isn't indescribable, there are a few gutteral noises that do it justice like "kkhsgkkkgdmp"
