I never found either QotSA or the Foo Fighters fully satisfying. I mean,
the Foos particularly have occasionally turned out well-crafted little
pop-rock numbers -- I'll snap fingers whilst humming along to "Times
Like These" with the best of 'em -- I've never warmed to either band's
output as a whole.  They just never seemed like enough _fun_.

Both QotSA and the Foos seemed to benefit from Grohl's association with
the former, but now ..... eh, there's not so much to lose, IMO.

Effing dead, so it is :P   Anyone want to start a no-frills spacerock
band? :)

Cheers,
