Hi all,

I haven’t really posted on here for a while so I have a few experiences to share with you all. Firstly my most recent whilst I’m currently in the land of Oz.

So the Foo Fighters were in Adelaide a week or so ago. I did a bit of research to where they stayed on their last visit to Adelaide and decided to give it a shot, I arrived at the hotel around 8am, after a couple hours of just sitting around a van pulling a small box like trailer pulled up. The driver opened it up and pulled out five green bikes. I knew that the band liked to get around the city by bike so I was slightly more hopeful.

After another hour or so I decided to go and get a drink and a bite to eat as it was a hot day. As I was walking back to the hotel I was waiting at zebra crossing. At the other side was a bloke on a bike, I thought to myself ‘ha that looks like Dave Grohl on a bike’. It was time to cross and low and behold the figure in question was Dave as I stood in awe as he rode past me. At least now I knew I had the right hotel.

In Adelaide there isn’t much of a desire to obtain autographs as there is in the Uk or across the pond so I was chuffed to see it was still only me waiting at the hotel with my vinyl. I heard Dave had been pretty tough on this Australia tour so I was hoping if it was a one on one encounter it should be pretty cruisey.

Pat came out first for a smoke and was more than happy to chat, sign and have a photo with. Nate, Taylor, Chris and Dave were out on their bikes so it was just a matter of waiting for them to get back and it truly was worth the wait.

Dave was nice, it was just me, he was in a bit of a rush as the bands entourage were talking about how a bus was picking them all up to take them to a vineyard and they still had to shower etc.

For all of you that have met the Foos or have a desire to I can honestly say they are such a down to earth, humble group of gents and it was a pleasure to meet them.

As I’m sure many of you collectors have experienced like I have when you start a project like getting a vinyl/ poster signed and you want to complete it sometimes it can take days, months even years. To complete my vinyl in a few hours was such a nice, stress free experience. The signatures are nice in my opinion (even Taylor’s). I take my hat off to the Foos…the concert was incredible as well.
