This isn't to say that the Foos have lost any of their awesome power: Taylor Hawkins continues to drum like a demon; Chris Shiflett manages to find space for a widdly-widdly guitar solo and the whole thing features more distortion than the reception on a 1930s wireless. Meanwhile, the slight change of pace gives Dave Grohl the chance to ease off his larynx and turn in a surprisingly sensitive vocal performance. Best of all, like your Aunt Sheila on a big Saturday night out, this tune's made a decent stab at glamming itself up a bit.

This song is the Foo Fighters' worst by far. Obnoxious and repetitive and the lyrics don't make any sense. Heard it twice and had it running through my head for days, wanted to shoot myself!
Fab song - one of the best on the album! Dave Grohl rocks!!!!!
It's great to finally see something has never really been part of their setup finally introduced- a face-melter of a guitar solo! You could hear Shiflett's talent with doing them on the Skin and Bones version of February Stars- the achingly beautiful bluesy solo demonstrated his prowess and then he's really let rip on LRTR. I can't hear that solo without a big stupid grin on my face.
