Hello again my beauties!
I was just wondering if anyone was going to see the Foo's at Wembley Stadium on Saturday, 20/06/2015?
My Wife and I are going and we cannot wait!
What do you think the chances are that Brian and Roger turn up for a song or two, like they did previously at Hyde Park?
That would be the icing on the cake, so here's hoping.
Kind of ironic that Brian and Roger associate themselves with a band whose frontman Dave Grohl, and bassist Nate Mendel supported a prominent HIV/AIDS denialer, Christine Maggiore, who misled thousands of people by campaigning for the belief that HIV doesn't cause AIDS.
Apart from having their bandmate die of AIDS, Brian and Roger are also trustees of the Mercury Phoenix Trust.
I'm not quite sure how to reconcile that.
PS: This is not an attack on Foo Fighters' music, which I do like.
^ I always wondered why "Guns n'Roses" were invited for Freddie's Tribute Concert. There is a quote from Freddie somewhere that he was miffed about their homophobic statements...

Thanks for pointing out the Christine deal. Had no idea. But GnR were heavily influenced by queen. Frontman Axl being the most.
Case of hypocrisy after embracing the uber jock itch rock style. Kinda like durst from limp bizkit. These dudes have homo tendencies... part of the outright rejection may be a form of denial poised as homophobia.
Then there are people that just find it creepy and the others who have their religious beliefs pre empt it and yet others who just don't want their kids gay
I'm guessing it's cause they're chums and would put aside the political differences just to rock out for nostalgic sake.
Doubt they'll make another appearance but who knows. What ever happened to that alleged rehearsal of DROWSE?
The Foos have since recanted on this stance, thankfully.
However - Taylor Hawkins has recently announced he is an anti-vaxxer.
To make public your trust in a Playboy bunny instead of doctors or immunologists on matters of medical science really is the express route to having millions of rational minded people lose respect for you instantly.
