What’s in a name? Absolutely nothing in this case, as the title doesn’t have anything to do with the song. It seems Lord Grohl just wanted to take a shot at guyliner-wearing emo bands. Fair enough, he’s Dave Grohl and Dave Grohl can do whatever the hell he likes, including deleting the physical version of his single immediately prior to its release. Why’d you do it Dave? Is it because, even though it sounded pretty good at last year’s festivals, ‘Cheer Up, Boys (Your Make Up Is Running)’ is actually dull-as-ditchwater Foos-by-numbers? We reckon so.
