Foo Fighters "In Your Honor"

It's a trick! He wants us to THINK that the DOUBLE CD is going to be crappy, as he sits patiently before unleashing the Foo's 'White Album'

Yeah, this new "Best of You" single is pretty weak. It relies to much on the vocals; the music just isn't memorable. But I have some faith in the album because I just read that Dave admitted there were only like 4 good tracks on 'One By One'. Then again, the idea of a double album, one rock, one acoustic, worries me.

The Foos were better when it was just Dave's project. He said that since 'One By One' it's been more about "the band."

I think the album comes out June 10th or so...probably won't leak for a while I'm guessing.

To be honest, I like One by One more than TINLTL as an album. Yet some songs on TINLTL are better than anything on One by One.

Actually, it's memorable, but not in a great way. After hearing it the second time, it got stuck in my head for half an hour, but it did get quite annoying. The song is ok. Honestly, Dave and/or the whole band is just trying too hard to make another album like One by One, it seems by the single.

That's what I thought immediatly after hearing it. I mean, to be honest, "All My Life" isn't too great, except live. "Low" was the best song on the last album and it was the last single they had from it.

June 14, to be exact. I remember because it's one of my friend's birthday.

I totally forgot how to do an ancore tag.

Alex!!! Help!

You can read the letter if you want.

It's anchor!

Just read the letter. Hard to believe they've been around ten years. I still remember seeing the posters for their first album pasted up on some scaffolding behind the Cathedral of St. John the Divine and thinking "what the fucks's a Foo and why does one need to fight it? Silly Grunge people!"

The whole thing with the name... I thought they were making a referance to a Foo Dog at first.

I have the original version of that. It's just Dave and an acoustic guitar. Did he add drums and/or bass to it on the album?

Are there anyother old songs by Dave on the new one?

there's no drums but a little bass on friend of a friend on the album, but the rest of it is all new songs. taylor sings one song and sounds like john fogerty. nora jones guests on a bossanova song, which is pretty neat.

Taylor sings? Why????

I'd listen to Richard Butler sing for ten hours straight before I'd listen to Taylor sing. I heard him sing on their cover of "Have a Cigar" and it was painful.

Please tell me they did a lot with Taylor's vocals.

I just remembered the reason why this single isn't too great. It sounds like every single song on the last album smashed together. That "oh oh" part sounds like "Come Back". Part of the chorus sounds like "Halo". The begining sounds like "Lonely As You" and the end sounds like the end of "Have it All".

Just about everyone said they loved it. I'm one of the biggest Foo fans and I just like it.

The only good thing about that thread is they got the lyrics.

I’ve got another confession to make
I’m your fool
Everyone’s got their chains to break
Holdin’ you

Were you born to resist or be abused?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?

Are you gone and onto someone new?
I needed somewhere to hang my head
Without your noose
You gave me something that I didn’t have
But had no use
I was too weak to give in
Too strong to lose
My heart is under arrest again
But I break loose
My head is giving me life or death
But I can’t choose
I swear I’ll never give in
I refuse

Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Has someone taken your faith?
Its real, the pain you feel
You trust, you must
Confess
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Oh...

Oh...Oh...Oh...Oh...

Has someone taken your faith?
Its real, the pain you feel
The life, the love
You die to heal
The hope that starts
The broken hearts
You trust, you must
Confess

Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?

I’ve got another confession my friend
I’m no fool
I’m getting tired of starting again
Somewhere new

Were you born to resist or be abused?
I swear I’ll never give in
I refuse

Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Has someone taken your faith?
Its real, the pain you feel
You trust, you must
Confess
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Oh...

Even the lyrics are just like the stuff off the last album.

Hey, what the fuck? Why are we cutting on the `Furs?

Actually I'm not. Honestly, I love Richard's voice, but I used to hate it. And I know some people can't stand more than half an hour of his singing. I on the other hand, can handle about 5-6 hours, at least, that about how much I listen to them a day now.

I probably should have said 5 hours of Kurt singing, huh?

Yeah, Dave was never my favorite lyric writer, but there are worse lyrics out there, some even written by him.

Disc One
“In Your Honor”
“No Way Back”
“Best of You”
“DOA”
“Hell”
“The Last Song”
“Free Me”
“Resolve”
“The Deepest Blues Are Back”
“End Over End”

Disc Two
“Still”
“What If I Do”
“Miracle”
“Another Round”
“Friend of a Friend”
“Over ‘n Out”
“On the Mend”
“Virginia Moon”
“Cold Day in the Sun”
“Razor”

Has anyone seen the video for "Best of You"? I'm just curious.

It reminds me a little of Chris Brokaw, until Dave starts singing.

I used to.

You had to be at least 18 to post on that board, at least it was that way the last time I checked.

I'll check again.

The begining of "In Your Honor" sounds a bit like "Enough Space" but the vocals get wierd on that one too.

What the hell is going on with Dave's voice??

Dave's voice = autotuned to fuck on these tracks.

Who told this band it was a good idea to make a double album

-- Hari A$hur$t (lindseyloha...), May 28th, 2005 9:27 AM. (Toaster)

No idea, but maybe it's ok. I don't know. Maybe they're trying to make up for not releasing an album for the last THREE years. Or a sort of ten year anniversary thing.

I'm registered on the Foo Fighters board now.

The age restriction is gone.

So I guess this leaked. I don't do that whole torrent thing, so somebody else get it and hook me up please?
