Love the dinosaur and the Bike Nibs!!
Just got back from a 12 day trip to GeyikBayiri...wow!
If you haven't been, or have your yearly trip to kalymnos etc, I highly recommend you going there.

Incredible features, not polished (yet), stays dry when super rainy...great routes, really 3d climbing...love it!

Completely disagree. First few Foo Fighters albums are just amazing and for me much better than anything Nirvana did and better than his work with QOTSA, Crooked Vultures etc.

The band has been a victim of it's own success since, trying to do something different all the time and naturally getting bigger audiences, so bigger venues, so worse gigs. I don't like massive venues.

Saw them at Leeds festival over ten years ago when they weren't quite so big, got near the front, fucking brilliant. Saw them a couple of years later in Manchester and they were still great but the whole thing was too clean and big.

Albums have been hit and miss since but they're still making some really great tunes (and Sonic Highways is the best thing on tv at the moment) and I'd love to see them play live again.

Having said that, I decided against getting tickets for the stadium tour because of all the above.

Have fun Chris I'm sure it'll be great.

I saw them at AECC a few years back (just after in your honour was released) and fucking loved it. They weren't shy to play loads from the entire back catalogue, not just the recent stuff, and put on an awesome show. Yes the recent stuff is a bit patchy compared to earlier albums, but they still produce (IMHO) stuff that's worth listening too (unlike other "rocksupergroups" (U2, cough).

I'm not shit hot on stadium gigs either but given the choice of stadium or nothing, I'm going for stadium.

And Taylor Hawkins looks like Johnny Brown.

Not a massive fan of Foo Fighters but read a fantastic rant by Dave Grohl attacking TV "talent"shows such as American Idol & X Factor.Damned if I can find it now though...

First few Foo Fighters albums are just amazing
Colour and shape was a brilliant album also nothing left to learn was brilliant. but could not listen to them any more after one by one. similar to muse loved first two albums but after absolution I just wrote them off
for me much better than anything Nirvana
I prefer nirvana.
My favourite thing he did was probot a real showcase of his ability and variety

First knee phisio session today, I found out that my love for the grind is still there.
While under the electro stimulator, I had to contract my quad in time with the buzz, and I found myself squeezing full body from toes to arms until getting the flies, and thinking "I'll fucking be te strongest man on he planet!"
I love that shit.
I probably must admit that climbing, to me, right now is just an excuse to get strong.
Well, bouldering 8c as a consequence wouldn't be bad either.

YYFY!
Managed to do Pigswill Sitter 7A in a lunchtime session today! Had a play on it on Monday, but for some reason it went easily today. One off the winter ticklist!
Quite pleased to get this one done. Only had my phone, but here's a crappy vid anyway:
