For Record Store Day they released a vinyl of covers called Medium Rare, most of these covers I have already theres a few i dont have but, if you suscribe to Q magazine you can get the CD version of this

just checked that out but I can't see spending $50 for magazines I wouldn't want just to get that cd although I'm tempted.

I'm with you. No way I'm subscribing to the magazine, but it's nice to know that a cd version is being put out there. Maybe I'll get lucky on ebay!!

It wouldn't surprise me if this got an official release at some point though. As expected, the vinyl copies are going for stupid amounts on ebay. Kinda makes me mad when I see all the listings. Didn't anyone buy this album to keep it for themselves? They should change the name from Record Store Day to Get An Exclusive Release To Flip On Ebay Day. Geez!!!

Yeah Id love to get it even on vinyl even though I have most of the covers as I collect Foos

Anyways I did get Wasting Light on CD Yesterday got the deluxe with a bonus dvd

Was this new album Wasting Light originally going to be titled "Back & Forth"?

I haven't watched it yet, but I noticed on my tivo, when I recorded the documentary, the little title description said something about "...and the making of the album Back & Forth".

Anyone know? Just wondering as I just heard the song 'Back & Forth' and it reminded me of that.

Back and Forth is the name of the Foo Fighter's documentry as for the original name of the album I am not sure

Finally had a chance to sit down and watch the doc 'Back & Forth'. Really good behind-the-music-type show. I wasn't a fan of the first coupla albums, so I didn't know much about the bands early history. I didn't realize the bass player has been with the band that long.

Good stuff. Highly recommended if you're a fan.

I have it on DVR when it came on with no commercials i watch it often, its coming out on DVD next month

I'll be picking this one up tonight!! Can't wait to spin the whole thing...was listening to Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace last night and was really jonesing for the new one...

Wow I think the first 2 albums are their best

Ive been cranking Wasting Light in my car the last few days I dont think its heavy as Echos Silence Patience and Grace

I don't care if it's heavy or not as long as the songs are good...I like everything from "Big Me" to "Break Down"...quiet to heavy...all Foo is good Foo...

I've been spinning Wasting Light quite regularily since I picked it up. It's very good. I'm still not sure that it's their "heaviest" record ever as some reviewers are claiming. I think they're saying that because there aren't any acoustic guitars or piano on the new album. Everything is plugged in and loud. But just because it's loud doesn't always mean "heavy".

I picked this up recently and I think it's a great album!!!!

I snagged it last night...5 songs in and FF prove they are a supremely consistent Rock band...good tunes, good energy...easily, IMO, the best American Rock band of the last 15 years...

Pretty cool...

Despite his success and constant ear-to-ear smile, Grohl was feeling badly for Dream Theater. “We got it!” Grohl said about winning the Best Hard Rock / Metal Performance Grammy. “I feel so bad for the Dream Theater guy, because they actually had a metal performance, we didn’t, but it’s awesome. That’s kind of the coolest song we’ve ever written,” he said of the edgy ‘White Limo.’

Got it when it came out, great album.

Years ago, I woulda thought Dave was just being sarcastic and trying to take the piss outta Dream Theater with a comment like that, but I believe he's being somewhat genuine here. The guy has proven that he's so much more than "just the drummer from Nirvana".

I pulled out Wasting Light this week and yea, it's still killer.

I have the highest respect for Grohl, he's a class act.

At this point, he's transcended the whole Nirvana and Kurt Cobain thing.

I always liked him. He's a great drummer. He's a little cocky but seems like a genuinely nice guy.

That's what I mean. He's well past all that now.

Just heard the White Limo song. It's not bad... (musically)

Definitly he's his own man and own rep now.


I am not a big fan of the song White Limo love the musicmanship in it just not the whole screaming thing he does.
