I just picked up the QOTSA CD, Songs for the Deaf, mainly because Dave Grohl was the drummer for it. I'm curious as to what people think of it. I think it rocks and Dave is his usual awesome-drummer self. The stuff that is on it is a lot different from the song No One Knows, which has been playing on the radio. If it weren't for Dave Grohl being on it, I never would have picked it up because I'm not that fond of the song. But the rest of the stuff on it really kicks a**.

a couple years ago there was a huge rock festival here (actually it was in Rio)... 200.000 people every night...

3 big bands every night, while some unknown bands on the evenings, 7 nights...

Guns N´ Roses played their songs from Chinese Democracy, that sounded cool, but isn´t guns without slash...

I´m not sure which night it was, but QOTSA performed... hauhuahua their bassist played completely naked! then the show was kinda interrupted, they made him wear some pants... that was fun... anyway, next night Dave Grohl would perform with the foo fighters... and he appeared and played a little with QOTSA... not sure, though... I didn´t watch this one, a friend told me but I have a feeling it wasn´t true...

the night FF performed was Dave Grohls birthday, so a girl (gf???)appeared with a cake and everybody sang happy birthday to him! :) he blew the candles and stuff...that was pretty cool! Grohl really connects with the audience, that´s good! but I don´t like when he mocks Creed...

not sure why I´m writing it though...:confused:

The video for the song they had out most recently is crazy! Seeing all their heads stuffed on the wall:lol: Yeah the music is cool, I LOVE the Foo Fighters so really any video or music Dave is in I like!:D

[Dogstar]

Same here. Have loved him since the Nirvana days. I just think he's a kick-a** drummer and a decent songwriter.

[JenRN]

Dave's humor is great too! Yeah I agree he is a kick ass drummer but sorry no one beats Stapp/Tremonti lyrics in my book!:D

[Dogstar]

LOL, I can think of a few, but Scott/Mark are right up there. Yes, Dave is a friggin scream. I saw the Foo Fighters with the RHCP a few years back and he was a scream. Just a good guy, IMO. Drummers always have the best senses of humor.

We have a music festival called Big Day Out tour Australia every year in February, and I saw QOTSA there in 2001. The bass player was also naked, but no one made him cover up! He kept his guitar in front of his privates for most of the time, but he turned around to moon us a few times, and also moved his guitar about a bit too much for my liking. :(

OMFG, that's unbelievable! Marcos was saying on another thread that he saw the video for that.
Somebody was just talking about that festival on the Jerry Cantrell message board. There are several people from Australia who post there. Are the Foo Fighters going to play there for this year's show? The people on the other board seemed to think so.

Yeah, Foo Fighters are playing. So are QOTSA, Jimmy Eat World, Machine Gun Fellatio, Janes Addiction, Frenzal Rhomb, and many more. Click here (http://www.bigdayout.com/theshow_bands.php) for the full list.

Thinking of coming over for it??

[Dogstar]

LMAO. I WISH. I would love to visit Australia. My aunt and uncle went a couple of years ago and had the best time. Thanks for the list!

[creedfan47a]

Well, gimme a ring if you're ever in the neighbourhood. ;)

[Dogstar]

LOL, will do. There's a few of us at work are actually talking about planning a trip there, but it probably won't be until next year. I'm trying to persuade my mother to go to Spain with me this year. She really wanted to go before 9/11, but now she's afraid to fly even more than she was before. I'm working on her, though ;).

[creedfan47a]

Good luck with that! But if she doesn't want to go to Spain...... can I go?? :D

[Dogstar]

Hell, yeah!:D

[creedfan47a]

Yay!! I'll start packing......

And then after that, you can come back to Australia with me for a visit! :)

[JenRN]

Hey I got an idea how about Creedfest in Australia next year!!!! Yeah I wish!!!! Australia is somewhere I have always wanted to go! It looks incredible and the people seem so great!;)

[creedfan47a]

YAY!!! Great idea! You can all stay at my place. :lol:

[Siana]

Queens of the stone age are pretty cool ;)

I love the video! I thought it was so funny! :P
