Okay so, I watched Reno 911! Miami (it was ok...exaggerated humor etc). But anyway, in the credits there was a song, called Police and Thieves. It said it was performed by a band called Sprechen Sie Deutsch (yes I know what that means).

When I looked up "Police and Thieves", I got...The Clash! Of course I listened to that version and it sucked. I just think The Clash has a few select good songs and that's it. Anyhow...

I'm trying to look for the band but of course all I get is "WHAT DOES SPRECHEN SIE DEUTSCH MEAN" and "DO YOU SPEAK DEUTSCH" and even if I add in band and stuff, they don't come up.

Youtube Link -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bzos0EvDtEs

Someone help because I liked that version!

:EDIT:

Well idk now! Apparently it's Dave Grohl (it did sound a lot like him) but fuck Reno for putting a fake band in there. Sorry I guess this topic sucked.

Hey, fuck you headphonics. What you don't understand is that you don't just "listen" to Dave Grohl's music, you LIVE it. You live it while standing on a car racing down a desert highway at 100mph as wind dramatically billows your shoulder-length blond hair, or alternatively while standing on the edge of a cliff and staring out at the sea as waves crash hundreds of feet below. Dave Grohl (or Dee-Gee, as his fans affectionately dub him) even rivals Nickelback themselves when it comes to emotive MOR power ballads, and that's a compliment I don't bestow lightly. The Clash (heh, might as well call them the Gash 'cause they're such pussies) don't even deserve to hold Dee-Gee's towels.

You can deny all you want, but ask yourself this: which band is better suited to the raw spectacle and grandeur of a Naruto AMV? If you're honest with yourself, you already know the answer.

I seriously only listened to a few of their tracks for the first time today, and yeah they weren't particularly horrible so much as just... really unremarkable and bland. Like, I forgot what they sounded like after every song and I still can't remember any details about them other than that 'Everlast' sounded sorta like Dinosaur Jr.
I just think this is funny because the cool thing about the Clash version is how stripped-down and urgent it is, and the Grohl cover loses that and just ends up making it another vaguely catchy and completely unmemorable rock song.

I don't disagree with you there, but they're more about making catchy songs than anything really meaningful. Which is what they're really good at and its not retarded music anyways so I give them credit for it.

Also the newest album is the best imo even though there are some pretty good tracks on the earlier ones.

Nickleback is fucking terrible

This.

Like if they made two albums it would be ok and you could be like "hey these guys are a decent rock band". But their sound honestly never changes, everything sounds THE SAME.

yeah i don't know many people who love foo fighters! i don't hate them or dave grohl but it is just brainless homogeneous rock music and like catamites said not really interesting or remarkable at all. i think the first song i ever heard by them was when i was like 15 and it was EVERLONG and i thought hey this isn't bad!!! but the rest of their stuff turned out to be so boring. it's a little disappointing considering he was in nirvana, and they were great. i don't see how anyone can find them catchy at all, really! they're so forgettable.

also fire mage i'm not insulted so much as i am AMUSED because no one with any taste would ever say the clash wasn't that great and you are sort of acting like you've figured it all out and all of us just haven't gotten it yet, and the fact that you are INTO DAVE GROHL just makes it funnier. you're like those guys on youtube who say SHUT UP EVERYONE IVE LISTENED TO JOY DIVISION AND THEY SUCK this fob cover is way better

i think the chorus chord progression of that one song where the verses is just a G power chord played over and over again

cant remember the title atm but it had a chorus where david sang something

Man you should try New Zealand, I'd say if I asked 10 random guys on the street at least 6 of them would say yeah they really liked them. Honestly they are like part of our culture, if you are a boring cliche guy you like them, just like you like rugby, cars and girls. They have been here like three times in the past two years and they sell out every time. Same happens with the band BREAKING BENJAMIN or DISTURBED.

Foo Fighter's newest album has some pretty good stuff on it, as well as The Colour and Shape. The rest of their stuff is admittedly rather generic sounding, but they do have their moments, and a two solid albums in my book. (Although the second half of "Patience" is way worse than the first half of the album)

Nah but Tool has the most record sales per person here. It's mainly just generic young guys who are tradespeople and listen to rock music at work.

All of those mid-90s rock bands seem so interchangeable. Foo Fighters, Stone Temple Pilots, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Bush, they're all sort of the same to me.
