Same here ... if the rest of the album is of this quality, we are in for a treat. This song just flat out rocks.

Shut out on the Wrigley pre-sale.

Will try again during the public sale on Monday, but it'll probably be even worse. Especially trying to get 4 together, to take the whole family.

Seems like a lot of folks didn't get tickets and there were people from all over the US trying for them. I am coming from California...I even had two GA's, tossed them back and got the seats all within 30 seconds after 10AM...

Hell, I had 5 PCs running (KVM at work) and it took me a good 10 minutes before I even got ONE of them out of the "waiting room". Immediately tried for 4 best available, and met with failure.

But I see there's about a billion tickets for sale through third parties, beginning at the low low price of $189 for the cheap seats. I hope they get stuck with em. I know they won't, but I can hope, right?

The show at Wrigley sounds cool but I guess I don't get why that particular one is such a big deal that people are trying so hard to go to it. I'm sure they'll be announcing a tour soon anyways.

Wrigley only gets 2-3 shows a year... it's kind of an honor/sign you've made it.

Plus, being the center of the country, it's accessible by anyone.

In my case - because I anticipate they'll skip over IL/WI when they do a proper tour, since they'll already have played (or at least booked) Wrigley. I could think of a bunch other venues I'd prefer to see them in, to be honest...but this will probably be my only show within a couple of hours from home.

Really enjoying the first two singles (and episodes of the HBO series). More than I thought I would actually.

I didn't feel very connected to the DC music, but Chicago and Nashville were really amazing.

I think it's an Emmy worthy show through 3 episodes and all the songs are terrific.

Anybody know what song this is? It claims to be What Did I Do?/God As My Witness -- which is an awesome song, BTW -- but it is not.

You're right. I guess the fact that I didn't recognize it means it's been way too long since I listened to Wasting Light.

Is it just me, or does the first song totally crib Dio's Holy Diver?

Anyhoo, Foos have become innocuous corporate rock so gradually, I hardly noticed.

I listened to this on vinyl the other day and it was just ok. It wasn't anything mind blowing. I'll probably spin it some more.

I've listened to the full album in my car but haven't taken the time to really sit down and just listen to it. I think its a good album but I can see how it might not be a favorite for everyone or in particular casual fans. It seems to not have a single to hook people in like their previous albums, which is okay. Also most of the songs are longer so this album probably won't be getting a lot of mainstream attention on the radio, tv, etc.

I really like this album. In particular, What Did I Do?/God As My Witness and I Am A River really clicked with me, though I would also include The Feast and the Famine and Something From Nothing as worthy additions to the Foo Fighters canon.

re: FOO FIGHTERS: Sonic Highways - Fall 2014

I can't get more than one ticket for anything to the Saint Paul show. I had two different pre-sale codes and have been trying since Monday with no luck. Debating going to another show solo.

Edit: Fuck it, after thirty-five minutes of trying to get tickets from the general sale (I waited thinking more tickets might be released) I wound up getting just one for myself. Sucks I couldn't find more but I'm excited to see them again.

^Similar experience here - I've never had such a hard time getting concert tickets as I did for the Foo's this go round - they are playing 2 dates in Toronto and I only managed to score 1 ticket.
