Trite as it might be, I'm a bit disappointed at Saturday Night Live for the limited visibility of the Foo Fighters on Saturday. I honestly don't know why I watch the show at all anymore beyond habit, and perhaps morbid curiosity. But I was jazzed that the musical guest was Foo Fighters, and I TiVo'd it at high quality so I'd have a chance to hear 'em perform two tracks off their latest release. But I didn't get to here two. They only played once. The host was Jon Bon Jovi. The musical guest was Foo. But instead of giving Foo the usual 2 performances throughout the evening, they instead allows JBJ to take the stage at the opening and at the closing in a painfully obvious and sadly desperate effort to hawk his latest release. Hey, it's not that the songs were awful, but why have Foo at all if the host is gonna be the musical guest as well?
Still, their appearance in the digital short, "Punched" was a fun surprise.
