Not one of their songs has an eighth of the substance the Manics songs have!
Foo's might have more Rock riffs and big choruses. But you could drown in a Manics song.
You could only get your foot wet in a Foo Fighters puddle!

Eh, substance isn't everything. I'd be hard pressed to tell you the last time I chose to listen to Foo Fighters, I've still got Colour And Shape and Nothing Left To Lose on a shelf somewhere.. I've got no idea what Foo Fighters' principles and ideals are, and got no urgency to know either. I did like them serenading that Westboro protest a couple of years back, that was good.
Course as much as anyone on here I to indulge in a bit of chin stroking and abyss staring along with the Holy Bible, but as the band themselves will attest, sometimes you just want some dumb fun. Doesn't have to be a point besides that. If people want to use their music to make a point, great. If they'd rather shy away from politics, course that's fine too, but anyone who expects artists, entertainers, celebrities, fucking teachers and doctors to stay out of politics can get to fuck. Read a few comments dotted about, about Corbyn at Glastonbury. Apparently Glastonbury isn't the time or the place for politics, who the fuck knew eh? Seen a few armchair keyboard warriors talking as if Corbyn's ten minute speech ruined the whole festival, the hundreds or even thousands of performers, the usual charitable causes and protests that have apparently never been a part of Glastonbury... Kin hell, people... I know we've got a few Tories on here, and you know what, fair play to em for being able to be a fan of the band, separating the artist from the art, or even the lyrics from the music at times. Don't remember anyone saying oh fuck, 30 Year War is an attack on my belief system, I can't like Motorcycle Emptiness anymore.
