Even on the band's slower, softer songs like the beautifully intricate "Aurora," Grohl couldn't resist pumping up the pace and the volume. Indeed, the only time Grohl stopped slashing at his guitar, he lambasted the British press for publishing rumors of the Foo Fighters' eminent breakup and for comparing them to the constantly troubled Brit-rockers Oasis.

...single symbol for letters. A large panel of soothing blue and gray is framed on top by a section of roughly textured deeper color and on the sides by narrow panels covered with the outlines of tiny butterflies, each hand-traced on the canvas. Though the painting is softer in both color and style than the others in the show, its effect is no less dramatic. For those who have sometimes felt that words cannot fully capture the essence of an experience, the painting-and the show-is worth a look...
