Sound city players

If they were to play. It would have to be high up main stage for the people in the band. Secret set maybe. Could this happen or was there album and gig a 1 off?

One off

They would have to headline but they would have finished by summer.

[dentalplan]

Aren't they finished now? Isn't Dave back working on Foos next album?

So no chance at reading or Leeds. Pity

I'm sick of hearing 'they'd have to headline' because let's be honest, they wouldn't.

The setlist they play is made up of largely unknown songs (in terms of the general R&L audience) so it's a case of the band members over shadowing the material, which essentially means you'd have a load of people shouting "the pretenderrrr" in between each song. Not to mention they haven't actually as a collective unit done anything worthy of headline status... Of course if you're too much of a Grohl fan boy to see this, then so be it.

It's not even really a band, it's a show to promote a DVD and an album. For the sheer length of the set they'd have to headline but its the same as saying the cast of Les Miserables would have to headline. It won't happen and it's over.

Lets be honest they would. Their set alone is about 25 songs and the amount of talent they would need to be on and off the stage like Stevie Nicks, Josh Homme, Novoselic, Rick Springfield and possibly Corey Talyor and Paul McCartney. Plus its still the Foo Fighters as a backing band.
