Look, I don't really love Grohl, but I think that's a pretty bad comparison:
1) The Foos debut came out like 5 years before Creed's did, and
2) He might be extremely bland rock, but he doesn't really sound like that whole batch of constipated Vedder clones.
But don't misunderstand...he's still boring.
I'm such an old man but most "modern rock" and especially "active rock" vocals these days sound like Eddie Vedder-devolved ultra-"macho" growl-vomiting. Is this why a new rock band like Gaslight Anthem can't break through on the radio? Not enough manly growl-vomit?
-aging crank
HA! POTW!!!
When I was still at home my dad used to say, "this rubbish all sounds the same" (Really dad? Bowie, Elton John, Rod Stewart?)......unfortunately, these days, it's absolutely true. Creed-clones the lot of em! Don't forget the lyrics have to be about his flaws and vulnerabilities....kind of like country music without the cowboy hat.
Nieci...that's her
And Dave Grohl is right up there with the worst Creed clones yet he gets a pass from this board. Why?
