Song The New Foo Fighters Song Is Boring.... and Also a Ripoff of "A Day In the Live" by the Beatles!

Posted by on Wed, Oct 28, 2009 at 10:53 AM

So the Foo Fighters are releasing a greatest hits record. That's fine. I thought they did years ago but turns out that was just their self-titled album. Ba dum bum ching! Anyway, as most bands do, the Foos are also including a couple new tracks on this greatest hits collection and one of them is called "Word Forward."

And for the first 40 seconds, all it does it echo the first 40 seconds of "A Day In the Life." Check out the evidence, my friends, and then join me in slapping Dave Grohl for being so lazy.

Thankfully (or not, in this case) the rest of the song does NOT sound exactly like any Beatles songs. It's just very mediocre.

I always thought "All His Suits are Torn" form NOFX was the biggest rip/homage or whatever, but this is shameful really. Seriously though, can you imagine being excited about a new Foo release these days? I don't think anyone around here could list even one song off their last however many albums. The first two still fucking rule though.
