Foo Fighters slam John McCain over use of song
 
They should be grateful that anybody's interested in their soft rock drivel

atsonicpark 10.12.2008 04:23 PM

hahaha.

Isn't "right now" by Van Halen Obama's theme song? That's a much better soft rock song. Fuck McCain.

Derek 10.12.2008 04:42 PM

"Besides, as McCain's standing plummets in the polls, perhaps his campaign ought to change musical tacks. Rock music doesn't seem like the appropriate soundtrack to impending economic doom ... maybe free-jazz, doom metal or musique concrète. Surely Anthony Braxton or Sunn O))) could lend the campaign a few minutes of screeching, screaming noise?"



Hahaha, awesome!

atsonicpark 10.12.2008 05:02 PM

hahaha mccain coming onstage to sunn.

That's hilarious.

SuchFriendsAreDangerous 10.12.2008 09:12 PM

you know, they tried to kill Bob Marley and they shot Rita in the head because rival Jamaican politicians were playing tuff gong material at their rallies, and the rude boys mistook that for Marley supporting one party or another [because they both used the same tunes, confusing many people]

so dave grohl should consider himself lucky, though I wonder how John McCain feels about making a song about Kurt Cobain's tragic end his own?

 

batreleaser 10.12.2008 09:25 PM

yeah, obama should use mc5 for his song, "i wanna see some revolution out there!", "kick out the jams motherfucker!", and shit like that. thatd be so awesome. you figure hes god lightning bolt backing his shit, why not have something like the mc5 as the song for his campaign.

SuchFriendsAreDangerous 10.12.2008 09:53 PM

Obama should play

"I'm affraid of Americans.."

Ironic. Dave Grohl dissing one of the few people I loathe more than Dave Grohl... I'm not sure what to feel.

ZEROpumpkins 10.13.2008 01:57 AM

For the record, I'd like to state that the Foo Fighter's first album (more or less a Dave solo album) is awesome.

_slavo_ 10.13.2008 02:05 AM

*wind whistling*

I'm sure noone heard what you just said, ZeroPumpkins.

ZEROpumpkins 10.13.2008 02:20 AM

There was a thread started like two years ago about how good it was.

steve newman 10.13.2008 03:53 AM

i can't see associating myself with dave grohl as being positive.

ZEROpumpkins 10.13.2008 04:23 AM

Whether or not you appreciate Dave's music, he's a really fuckin' nice guy, you have to admit.

auto-aim 10.13.2008 07:39 AM

nah, he's a right bastard. I'm sure everyone will agree.

The best soft rock is still soft rock.

I remember hearing that they actually do not fight foo.

But seriously, copyright infringement is copyright infringement.

<Just like lieing is a sin although that doesn't seem to stop either christian candidate from doing that>

Pookie 10.13.2008 07:56 AM

Dave Grohl was alright until he grew that stupid facial hair.

auto-aim 10.13.2008 08:58 AM

and strangled kittens.

No offense, bro, but this could be why you have trouble with girls. I'm just saying; look into that connection.

thats how I feel about Nazis. The only thing that I loathe more than Nazism is extreme and absolute Zionism.

greedrex 10.13.2008 02:32 PM

obama should play this on his next meeting, that would sure light the fire.
I heard an old woman asking Mc Cain whether Obama was "an Arab" in a small meeting. He struggled to make her undertsand he wasn't and it wasn't the issue at stake anyway. amazing!!!!
did you people hear MCauin saying he was gonna "spank " Obama "where you know" in another video? Man he's begging for failure!!!

the second one's awesome too.

the rest is blander than beige.

Rob Instigator 10.13.2008 02:59 PM

dave grohl is allright
he cannot help it that people like his tunes more than nirvana.

greedrex 10.13.2008 03:04 PM

The First Foo LP is pretty punk. Me likey.
I like about half of the second one.
The rest is really mediocre to say the least.

Very clever.
I think SONIC YOUTH qualifies as soft rock enough these days.
So what?

I really don't understand what's the problem you guys have with stuff that sells well. I think Dave's a very skilled musician. I don't like all of his output, but fuck, there's different people to loathe in my book, not certainly that dude.

max 10.13.2008 03:53 PM

oh and for the record: fuck mccain.

Rob Instigator 10.13.2008 04:10 PM

I love how that dumb cunt Palin says that "McCain knows how to win a war!"

which war is that? Did he help us win in Nam? Did he succesfully repel the NVA army and the chinese and the Viet Cong? Did he help us raise the flag of victory on hanoi?

sheeeeeiiiiit. She wold be better served saying "McCain knows how to fight a war." which is a claim that no one would refute, considering our current commander in chief was doing cocaine and Houston hookers during Vietnam.

SuperCreep 10.13.2008 04:10 PM

I have a strong urge to dub a Sunn O))) track to one of McCain's entrances now.

Same here. Maybe from that debate where he's wandering around looking like a lost vole. You wouldnt even have to slow the footage down to make it match.

Regardless, the first album they did was very punkish, same with the second one. After that...not so much.

Trasher02 10.14.2008 12:21 PM

Dave Grohl is gay

Derek 10.14.2008 04:22 PM

Yeah, just ask his wife!

Pookie 10.14.2008 04:27 PM

Yeah, she's gay too.

greedrex 10.14.2008 04:57 PM

we're all gay.

Green Magnesium 10.14.2008 05:09 PM

Does anyone else think that Dave Grohl looks like a younger, hotter Tim Curry?
