Comments

• word "frontman" - may need explanation for readers not familiar with the term.
• "The album did receive minor criticism .." -> "The album received ..."
• Foo Fighters navbox at bottom of article: is there a way to have it expanded (not collapsed) by default, so novice readers can see the whole thing without clicking?
• "... but once Petty heard about the Foo Fighters, he instead stimulated Grohl to move on with this solo project." - "Stimulated" is not the right word. Maybe "encouraged"
• "at Capitol's insistence photos of the entire lineup .." - what lineup? the producers? Or the band that Grohl assembled after the album was finished?

Fixed those (except the template, there's a way to do it but I don't know if it's required...). igordebraga ≠ 01:04, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

More comments

• Very good. I am passing this. A couple of afterthoughts:
  • There is no "See also" section: are there no related articles that are not yet linked? If not, no need for such section.
  • There is no "references/bibliography" section that list books on the topic. Are there any books that focus the band? If not, no need for such section. --Noleander (talk) 13:30, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
