White Limo...........not a fan of it(weak vocals, alright music).

Rope............That's more like it, good melodic tune with a nice riff.

I'm not a BIG Foo Fighters fan but I really respect and appreciate the talent of Grohl.

Nice to have more music from him/them.

 

[timetokill]

I don't White Limo at all.

Can't stand the vocals. No matter what the music sounds like, I just can't listen to that vocal style. In anything. No, that's not what they were like on the first album.

Did you hate Weenie Beenie off of the first album?

 

[AniHawk]

I didn't care much for One By One, and I haven't heard enough of In Your Honor, but I don't particularly like it either (Best of You, as repetitive as it is kind of a guilty pleasure).

I really liked ESPG though. Come Alive was their best song of the decade (or since Everlong- take your pick).

 

[CiSTM]

Not feeling Rope at all

 

[wind_steaker]

they're re-releasing their album again?




sorry I had too, they used to be my favourite band...

 

[Erasus]

I like both those songs.

 

[VeryGooster]

It's been FOUR years since ESP&G? Jesus.

 

[koam]

Just found this on reddit: http://www.upvenue.com/article/1302-listen-to-foo-fighters-new-album-wasting-light-for-free.html

Whole album, in order, with best quality YouTube videos.

 

[HighAmperage]

It's been FOUR years since ESP&G? Jesus.

Yeah, damn...time really does fly. Seems impossible.

"Rope"'s ok..."White Limo" was more exciting. Hopefully most of the album leans toward the latter.

 

[AlphaSnake]

Really lovin both songs a lot now. Rope grew on me a ton. That's just how all of Foo Fighters' songs usually work.

 

[-Eddman-]

I really like both songs. I felt a QotSA vibe in White limo; Rope sounds straight from 1994-95. I don't know if this is good or bad, but I like it.

Can't wait for the full album on vinyl.

So awesome. \m/>_<\m/

 

[The Big Rig]

Dave must have vocal chords of steel.

[AlphaSnake]

Holy shit. Listen to the song first playing as you start the video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tkFPHkVvkk

Grohl must've written White Limo over 6 years ago! The 24 Hours of Foo special aired in 2005!

 

[Revolutionary]

Pre-order on iTunes and you can download Rope now.

Also, nice find AlphaSnake, but I still hate you.

 

[TheKaeptain]

WTF guys?? I don't know who is who anymore. Snake change it.

 

[snesfreak]

I'm gonna make my brother buy me this album when it comes out, he owes me.
15 years ago he stole my Big Me EP cd and let one of his friends borrow it, I never got it back because his friend lost it.
I should make him replace it too, $20 on Amazon.

Spoiler

The fucker doesn't even like the Foo Fighters anymore.

This may not be news, but the album name is Wasting Light. In case anyone didn't know:

 

[Pristine_Condition]

Dave must have vocal chords of steel.

Reminds me of the story Frank Black tells about doing a gig one time, doing some of his screaming vocal stuff, and going backstage where there was this old bluesman who simply told him "Boy, you sure can holla..."

 

[AlphaSnake]

This may not be news, but the album name is Wasting Light. In case anyone didn't know:

Pretty sure we've known that for 3 months. Never saw the cover tho.

(ugh, MTV)
Video for Rope.

 

[WJD]

It's alright.

Awesomeness kicks in around the point of the solo. Not one of their best though.

 

[Patrick Bateman]

I'm pleasantly surprised by Rope. It's also the first guitar solo that I heard in "pop"-music for a damn long time.

 

[Revolutionary]

Be on the lookout for the White Limo and you can give the new album a listen in it:

No word if Lemmy's driving, though.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

i fucking hate buying physical CD's

Looks fucking awesome.

Bridges Burning also sounds fucking awesome from that.

 

[CloudWolf]

I like White Limo and Rope a lot more than most of their recent stuff. Can't wait to see if the full album is just as good.

Oh hell yes!

Seriously everything these guys do is awesome.

Full album preview clips.

These Days, I Should Have Known, Walk and Arlandria are the stand outs judging from that.

 

[Dr.Horrible]

Got my tickets in the mail a few days ago for the 5/23 show. Can't wait!

 

[Hot Coldman]

Wow, White Limo really sticks out there. I wanted a whole album of fucking batshit Foo Fighters like that.

Whatever, album still sounds good, although there's a few samey-sounding songs in that preview. Still excited!

 

[The Big Rig]

God damn, I want that album now.

6 minutes of pure magic, thanks.

 

[AlphaSnake]

This album sounds absolutely amazing.

Listening to the Foo Fighters always brings me to my happiest place. Some of my best memories are associated with the band or their music.

 

[AlphaSnake]

Can someone GIF and avatarize 3:11-3:13 for me pleaaaase?

Grohl's face looks hilarious in all three scream shots.
