    It's like you've never heard Dave Grohl sing before. There is absolutely no way anyone could say the Foo Fighters suck. These guys are ridiculous musicians. One of the best rock bands of the time. There is no such thing as bands like The Who, The Rolling Stones, or Led Zeppelin anymore because there is so much crap out there. These guys are one of the few groups that may touch that status and still be listened to 20-30 years from now.

      No, He was serious! It is Richard on drums. Taylor Hawkins was in Madrid that evening and Nigel asked Rick if he would drum for Foo. Barney drove him from Santa Barbara to the show on a Massy Ferguson 135 in the pouring rain without a cab. That's why his hair is wet. The band all went outside to carry in the drum kit and they got wet too. But one thing was for sure! They all still brushed their teef before going on stage!
