Foo Fighters are a band notorious for playing three-hour sets on the regular. During a recent gig in Calgary, Dave Grohl proudly touted the band’s endurance while simultaneously ripping “new bands that play those little two hour concerts.”
“You don’t want one of those little hour and a half long shows do you? Grohl said to the audience. “You don’t want that ****. All of those new bands that play those little two-hour concerts, you don’t want that ****. Two hours and 15, I don’t think is enough. Two and a half hours, does that sound okay? That’s not enough is it? Here’s our ****ing problem. We’ve been a band for 20 ****ing years, we have a lot of ****ing songs, and then add my big mouth on top of that, and we’re going to be here all night.”
