The Foo's are a superb Rock band but if you like your music a bit more mellow then this is a great album to buy . The same great songs but just toned down in an acoustic style. Just a Brilliant sound. Great band, great album, great price!!

Dont get me wrong.. i love the foos. However, i didnt like the slow acoustic versions of each song as much as the originals. To be fair the version of my hero is very good but songs like 'times like these' suffer from a lack of electric guitar. If I were you buy any of their other albums to avoid disappointment.

I bought tihs after getting the Skin and bones DVD just because its that amazing.

Any foo fan should own this album, acoustic My Hero is probably one of the best things i've ever heard.....Go buy it now

Another great album from the Foos!
At this price and free delivery it's a steal, buy it now!

Thanks Play.com

Purchased this album after going to see Foo at the O2 in London.... This album is just amazing, it's wonderful as it's live and you can hear the crowd - and it feels like your there...you can totally loose yourself in this album... I can't stop listening to it!!

If you do get to see these guys live, GO! I see their first acoustic gig in Ipswich (yes Ipswich) and it was amazing. No flashy stuff, just a group on stage doing what they do.

Polished live versions of the songs, some with different arrangements to the originals, an example being Big Me which is slowed down with added piano and woman singer.

Sometimes the crowd can get a bit irritating in the more well known songs (such as shouting 'come on!' during the slower Everlong).

Highlights are Walking After You, which doesn't sound live it just sounds like a more richer sounding take on the non-album version. Next Year is much better than the dull album version as well. My favourite is drummer Taylor's Cold Day In The Sun.

The first thing to note, is that while the album may be called Skin And Bones, (take from the title of track 10) it's a misnomer to think of it as the Foo's stripped down. Granted they're not plugged into anything, but Dave and the boys can still belt out a tune.

With this being recorded with a live audience, the enthusiasm of the crowd is audible, but doesn't distract too much from the performance. Thankfully the banter it kept to a minimum. There's nothing wrong with a band engaging with it's audience, but if you're going to be listening to the gig again and again, (as you surely will do with this one) you don't want to listen to extended periods of just talking.

Personally, Tyler steals the show, (or should I say, Dave permits Tyler to) with Cold Day In The Sun, my favourite point in the album. If I have any critisism, it's Razor does go on a little too long as an opener to the album.

Other than that however, this is simply a perfectly ballanced set of acoustic tracks from a band at the top of it's game. Undoubtably worth a fiver of anyone's money!

Absolutly incredible, sometimes rock bands just can't function acoustically, Foo's are a MAJOR exception. Can't believe I didn't buy it sooner.

It's nice to hear a stripped down album from Foo Fighters with some great versions of some classic songs. It sounds like they're having a great time on stage and their performance is brilliant. A bit too much audience noise for my liking but the music more than makes up for it.
'Everlong' is the best on here and 'Times Like These' and 'Best of You' where Grohl yells with all his might are also classics.
Their first live album is a beaut.
