Saw the documentary last week, and afterwards they screened the band performing the whole album with no cuts in Dave's garage.

It was pretty monster.

Foo Fighters new album ?Wasting Light? is looking like becoming the fastest selling album for the band since 2006.

Hitsdailydouble.com is tracking ?Wasting Light? to sell more than 215,000 copies in the first week in the USA giving Foo Fighters their best debut since ?In Your Honor? in 2005.

Foo Fighters last studio album ?Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace? did 169,000 in the first week when it was released in September, 2007.

?Wasting Light? will also be the forth fastest selling album of 2011 behind Adele, Britney Spears and Chris Brown. All, as Hits points out, are Sony releases.

Other big sellers expected to debut on next week?s chart are ?Paper Airplane? by Alison Krauss and ?So Beautiful or So What? by Paul Simon.

According to Hits, Adele will regain the number one spot tomorrow with her ?21? album. It sold 88,000 units in the past week. The biggest debut this week will be ?American Tragedy? by Hollywood Undead. It should come in this week at number 3.

What a great problem to have though - too much good new music to listen to though!

I've listened to Wasting Light back to front almost non-stop the last few days, and while I still think Color & The Shape is their best album, this is certainly up there alongside it.

There are no Everlong's or My Hero's on here, but Bridges Burning is like the new Monkey Wrench, and White Limo sounds like something off the first album.
Dear Rosemary and Arlandria are awesome mid-tempo rockers, and Rope is great too, the middle drum solo breakdown part is killer.

My Foo Fighters album is One By One. Im kinda disappointed with Wasting Light, but i like Rope and  1 or 2 more songs on there

.... I still think Color & The Shape is their best album...

Been blasting that record since I saw the documertary a few weeks back, my fav as well.

The first 5/6 songs are just great - Monkey Wrench, Hey Johnny Park, My Poor Brain and the sledgehammer Wind Up...

The Foos played Madison Square Garden in NYC last night complete with Joan Jett guesting for a blistering version of Jett's "Bad Reputation"

Grohl's giddy as a school girl and Joan's as cool as ever.

Take a look here:

I'm seeing her this weekend and will probably be every bit as excited as Dave.

Ive never been a big Foo Fighter fan but that documentary was excellent. Love watching stuff like that

[Falcon]

The Foos and Jett will be rockin "Bad Reputation" on Lettermen tonight, here's a pic:

[Falcon]

Holy hell, the Foos are flat out cleaning up at The Grammy's and the show hasn't even started yet.

So far won Grammys for:
Best Hard Rock Metal Performance
Best Long Form Music Video
Best Rock Song
Best Rock Album

Still up for Best Rock Performance and Album of the Year.

Not bad recognition for a record that was made in Dave's garage in analog form over a couple of months.

[Falcon]

And now a 5th Grammy for Best Rock Performance and an acceptance speech for the ages...that got cut off.

Dude's had an amazing run, just incredible.
