Foo Frenzy

So it seems that my second ever blog is going to be about the Foo Fighters which is all good because they ROCK! I've been a huge Foos fan since 1997... I borrowed their second album The Colour And The Shape from Dudley Library and was immidiately hooked. The reason that I borrowed the album originally was actually because I fancied a boy who was a fan, but I owe him a debt of gratitude for introducing me - my affections for him are long gone, but my love for Mr. Grohl and friends lives on! SH, I thank you :)

Anyway, the reason why I'm blogging about the Foos today is because I saw them play in Milton Keynes this Saturday just gone. It was the 5th time I've seen them live and they blow me away every time. It was the first time I'd been to the Milton Keynes Bowl and I'll be honest and say I wasn't impressed. It's huge (which is always good when you have a massive band like the Foos who could've filled that venue ten times over) but there weren't enough toilets (pee in the bush time) or bars, and the giant rig in the middle of the stadium blocked the view for a lot of people. Plus, it's in the middle of bloody nowhere. We'd booked a campsite which included a bus to and from the Bowl, which we paid an extortionate amount of money for considering it was a campsite, and then the bus took over an hour to arrive after the gig! Nothing could have ruined that day for me, but that did leave a sour taste in my mouth after an amazing show.

I'm still buzzing from the gig, and before I'll even have time to come down I'll be seeing the Foos AGAIN, this time in London at the Camden Roundhouse, which is going to be out of this world... the smallest venue I've ever seen the Foos in is Brum NIA and that's hardly small! To see my all time favourite band (one of the biggest bands in the world) in such an intimate setting is just going to blow my mind... I still can't believe I actually won tickets either! It was a competition through the band's facebook page and I did a little dance around my bedroom when I got my winners email!

So, my train tickets are reserved, my hostel is booked and I'm good to go! 7 more sleeps...

That's my man Mr. Dave Grohl doing his thing <3
