"This is our Homecoming show," an always energetic Dave Grohl yelled at a stopping point in the Foo Fighters two+ hour long set Wednesday night, as expected the sold-out Forum crowd lit up with cheers and screams of approval. With good reason too as the Foos have become the torch-bearers for this generations version of bold and bombastic, arena rock.(with Muse hot on their heels) There are very few bands touring today that can match the energy the Foo Fighters bring to their arena show and Wednesday's show proved their mastery.

Serj Tankian is that lead singer losing his mind screaming into the microphone at those System of the Down shows. You know, the one amping the crowd into a frenzy rivaled only by a pack of starved wolves. Obviously this Armenian from Glendale has enough kaboom to rock a successful solo side dealio. And LAist loves local success stories. Anyways, he whips out this Elect The Dead album, it doesn't come out until October...
