I liked the Foo Fighters at first - I liked the return to Guitar based, melodic music - but yes he seems to have read too much of his own press - either that or he has more and more come to show his real self.
That’s why I liked them back in the day. It was such a departure from all the BS Seattle angst of Nirvana and its imitators, it was accessible and refreshing. Everlong and New Way Home used to be two of my favorite songs from the 90s.
