The Pretender
The Pretender detonates from a tense, palm-muted verse into one of the biggest choruses Foo Fighters ever cut — a wall of high-gain distortion built on Dave Grohl's Gibson Trini Lopez semi-hollow through a Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier. The bright, woody semi-hollow into the Recto's modern high-gain channel is the band's signature combination, double-tracked hard left and right with Chris Shiflett's Telecaster Deluxe filling out the rhythm.
