@SKT true, but being a virtuoso does not automatically mean great music. The guys in polyphia may be great on their instruments but their stuff is unlistenable wankery to me

[chrisjohnnick]

Foo Fighters are one of those bands where I'm not going to buy an album, not going to spend money on tickets, and not gonna really think of them ever. But I wouldn't turn down a free ticket to a show. Saw them for free at the Ryman in Nashville on Halloween a few years back.

[chrisjohnnick]

Also, U2 sucks.

[SKT]

I can’t go there on U2 I’ve got a lot of core memories attached to them in the 80’s. Personally I would say they really dropped off after Joshua Tree

[mclaincausey]

Yeah. That’s me. I can’t even stand them now but loved that record. And to a lesser extend Achtung Baby. Everything since is supremely annoying to me

Foo Fighters however used to drive me nuts

Fooies suck more without Josh

Uies suck more with Larry. I feel there is a theme going on.

JP, FF and U2 all worse without a decent drummer.

[NickD]

@mclaincausey Park me squarely here on U2.

FF - I don't hate them, but they are one of those bands where the greatest hits is all you'll ever need of their music.

The death of the mechanical bicycle makes me sad.

[gazza61]

@Bridger I love wearing good boots but when it's a long walk to the pub I wear trainers.

[Bridger]

You could always grab an Uber @gazza61

[gazza61]

@Bridger not good for the planet.plus I like walking.

[Bridger]

You're a good man @gazza61

Bill Gates would endorse both your environmental and fashion choices

[endo]

I can do long walks, like a day visit to a city, in my wescos.

[Bridger]

Same @endo - not Wescos but I only travel with boots or wear them all day at festivals. Good boots are comfy.

[gazza61]

@Bridger thank you

[gazza61]

@endo my feet are too old for long walks in boots these days

It’ll never die! Just getting marginalized.

[mclaincausey]

I have two mechanical bikes, one of which is also a fixie so I can brake with my legs. I much prefer hydraulic and especially disc brakes.
