Watch out Sydney...

"Wow. That is all I can say about how insane the show at the Metro in Melbourne was last night. I have always loved coming to Australia but playing these new songs and getting blown off the stage by the crowd in front of us, well I have fallen in love with this country all over again. Everyone coming to Luna Park in Sydney has their work cut out for them.

Before I head out to get some food I would like to share with you an experience I've just had. I am sitting in my hotel room in Sydney flipping through the channels on the TV and the last three are radio stations. As i changed to NOVA FM I heard them say "Foo FIghters" so I stopped. The Foo's are one of my all time favorite and most influential bands. They're new single "The Pretender" was about to be played for the first time on that station and the first time to my ears. So I sat and waited through some bad pop and then it arrived at 7:30 pm. I would not be so arrogant to assume that we are all of your favorite band, but I know how excited some of you were to hear new stuff from us. Just thought you'd like to know that I still get excited like that too. The song was amazing for the first listen and I cannot wait for the new Foo Fighters record. hahahahahhhaa no way! Right this second Light Up the Sky came on the same station! wow...if you told me when I started playing guitar at 13 that one day a song by my band would be on the same countdown as a song written by Dave Grohl I would have told you to get on some medication. Super cool. Love you guys."
