    BudKilmer how many state titles did you win? Did they win the year you were exiled?

    2 state titles

    And they didn't play the next week bc Tweeder was in rehab, Billy Bob in a diabetic coma, Wendell in the hospital and Moxin24 was a huge pussy

    Guess you were too transfixed on Ms Davis' tits to remember they won 2 state titles during Kilmer's reign.

    Run into him occasionally. He's a good dude. Family man, works all the time, is reliable as far as musicians go, steers clear of bullshit controversy, good music. Probably America's greatest rock musician, at least of my generation. Didn't think that would be the case 20 years ago.

    I saw the Foo Fighters and RHCP in concert together. They blew the RHCP out of the water. Dave brought so much energy and the crowd responded to him. One of my favorite concerts.

    I would get goosebumps when Wendell's running during "Every Little Thing Counts."

    That run @ 0:50:

    Saw that concert in Columbus, except Foo's cancelled because they got too fucked up doing karaoke and blowing Dave's voice out in Dayton the night before. So we got an extra long set from Muse

    To answer op's question, I think it's mostly because they were a solid, if not great, rock band that were able to remain in the mainstream during that post-grunge decade when the other popular stuff was pop-punk, small-dicked indie rock, or trashy nu-metal. And because Dave Grohl, despite being a mega millionaire rockstar who sells out places like Wembley Stadium, managed to still stay pretty cool and grounded.

    Also he likes metal

    Low is a great song

    I like Oh, George too, but apparently they hate that one

    DOA and All my Life are also good

    It's not like I'm ever reaching for them now, but that's because I'm playing Vanum's Ageless Fire on repeat for like the 50th time burnttatertot
