If there’s one thing you’re guaranteed with Dave Grohl’s Foo Fighters it’s that every single they release will be an electrifying experience. Who’d have thought that the geeky-looking drummer from Nirvana would’ve managed to carve a stellar career and release such consistently fantastic music?

Needless to say, The Pretender doesn’t disappoint on any level. It starts out with some innocent sounding arpeggios, but soon bursts into life delivering the frenzy that has become a Foo Fighters trademark.

The intro is subject to a bit of debate – some are claiming it’s a “Stairway To Heaven” rip-off, but it sounds more like a snippet from one of those Tenacious D songs he helped out with. It doesn’t matter, because the whole damned song rocks, so stop complaining!

We like hairy Grohl by the way – the more beard the better!
