i know two of the guys from sunny day real estate / the fire theft were in foo fighters for a while, and i thought it was just a revolving cast of role players around dave grohl. am i wrong there?
Nope, they're really a band and have been for four of the five albums. Only the first album was Grohl himself. There've been some changes (Pat Smear left, but he was a vestige of Nirvana, really), but no more than the regular band. And the current lineup's been in place for three albums.
I think the Foo Fighter's have great songs and I listen to their albums extremely often. For a few months after release, daily.
Sonick -- did you stay for the HFStival Foo set? Not sure a summer festival set is going to be particularly emblematic -- their shows are fantastic.
