I grew up in SoCal too and my band used to roll up to Isla Vista and just play the most massive shows in the 90's in the college town of dreams. Those were the times!

    Nice to hear him mention Hanoi Rocks. Too few know Hanoi’s meaning and significance to the 1980s rock scene. Even tough they where hands down one of the gratest rock bands ever! Up there with the Stones imo
    And he also mentioned Johnny Thunders at the end. Johnny is criminally underrated. Most remember him as a junkie, but he was also a awesome songwriter and emotional rock n roll guitarist.

    I remember being a kid and getting into the Foo's , they were playing their first shows with Chris in a tiny venue in Dublin, they came back a year or two later and headlined Ireland's biggest festival 10 minutes from my house. I couldn't afford to go as I was still in school, 18's or over, but I sat in the front garden and listened to them. 😁 He's always been one of my guitar heroes.

    one of the things I love about the Foo's is how you have three totally different types of guitarists.. Dave is a heavy cord driven 335 guy, Pat is a humbucking heavy/dirty sound, and Shifty normally does a cleaner higher kind of thing but all of them are at a level to be leads in different bands!! I like how he talks about facetiming Uncle Larry, and talking about how to get a certain sound out of a certain rig, and how he has three totally different rigs, his Foos touring rig, and his Foos studio setup, then his new Foos small room rig, then for his solo stuff he just has a baseline Quad Cortex with a tuner, because it flys easy for Solo stuff. just so down to earth and loves what he does. great dude.

    Wow, that’s too easy of a set up for the stage. I’d like to try that someday.
    I went thru the different patches for every song with a digitech rp7, back in the early 2000s, had to go back and dial everything back to simplify everything. Then I got the Zoom G3. And did it all over again. I haven’t kept up with the technology of today though and have gone back to a bunch of pedals and massive pedalboards and all the problems that has. So simplifying my rig is where I’m at now. And the tone chasing geekery continues on and on…

  • @RRW276

    I love the Foo Fighters and can't wait to see them again. I remember in '95 going to Soundwarehouse and they had this new CD on the wall with a steam punk kind of gun blaster on it. I bought it and been with FF ever since then. This was just before Chris, Taylor, Pat and them joined the band. At the time I had no idea it was even Dave Grohl on the CD!! I kept Weanie Beanie on repeat! That was probably my favorite when I first listened.
    I think Wasting Light is Foo Fighters best and most perfect work during a beautiful peak! Although I've loved everything from this band AND I'm ready for that Epiphone DG-335 right now!!

    If you play classic, dad rock- then yeah, they got it right for you back when classic dad rock was the "in" thing- the 50s, 60s, and early 70s. If you play 80s shred, then you're going to swear they reached the pinnacle of guitar making around the mid 80s. And if you play all this new, prog. rock style stuff- what's it called "djent"? Then you're going to think they didn't get it right until they created a 7 string, multi scale, compound radius, monstrosity along with an interface and a DAW so you could get your laptop into the mix. If you're into Polka, you have bigger problems than what gear to use. Have you tried to find a decent set of lederhosen lately? Don't laugh- polka is coming back- watch.
