In Monkey Wrench, the enemy invading the American Southwest -- despoiling the land, befouling the air, and destroying Nature and the sacred purity of Abbey's world -- culminates in the gang's abject hatred of the Glen Canyon Dam which the gang of monkeywrenchers long to destroy.

 Amazon.com: The Monkey Wrench Gang (Perennial Classics): Books: Edward Abbey,Douglas Brinkley
Ed Abbey called The Monkey Wrench Gang, his 1975 novel, a "comic extravaganza." Some readers have remarked that the book is more a comic book than a real novel, and it's true that reading this incendiary call to protect the American wilderness requires more than a little of the old willing suspension of disbelief.
His best known work is this novel, "The Monkey Wrench Gang," a fictional tale about four nature lovers who decide to wage relentless war against America's manic desire to spread the industrial system into every corner of the country.
He is unflinching in his criticisms and unyielding in his devotions, and The Monkey Wrench Gang is a wonderful novel.

 Foo Fighters - The Colour And The Shape Review - sputnikmusic
Again, this song is extreme like "Monkey Wrench" on its vocals, even the music is on the bridge with the effects of phaser/distortion which brings out the explosion afterwards when Dave screams out words at his highest tone.
The song is actually nice to listen to as it isn't extreme as "Monkey Wrench" but has that kind of rock n roll sound.
It is another beautiful song to listen to, especailly when it picks up to full gain of distortion which brings out the loveliness of the song, it shows power and prevents boredom.

 Amazon.com: The Colour and the Shape: Music: Foo Fighters
Just about all the songs here on this album are catchy and seem made for radio friendly, but underneath that surface is a demonically comical feel combined with a lot of emotion.
The only song that doesn't seem to be about the divorce is 'My Hero,' which is also one of the best songs on the CD, but straight away it delves back into Grohl's psyche.
On songs like the short opener "Doll", "February Stars", and the classic single "Everlong" you can hear the raw emotion in Grohl's voice, and that is something that no one can fake.

The phrase to throw a monkey wrench into the machinery dates to 1918, although the metaphorical sense of throwing a monkey wrench, meaning an obstacle or hindrance, is a bit older.
The term for a wrench with an adjustable jaw dates to the early 19th century and is originally British, although now is chiefly North American in usage.

 Foo Fighters
Although the critics were waiting to pounce on The Colour And The Shape it was another hard and tough album of blistering, paced songs, which were lightened by the band's great grasp of melody - songs such as "Monkey Wrench" and "My Poor Brain" burst into life in the middle eight.
Both the song's title and its lyrical refrain ("I don't owe you anything") seemed to pursue some form of personal exorcism, but it was hard to argue against the sheer impact of Grohl's new canon of songs.
Goldsmith left the band during the recording of their second album and was replaced by Taylor Hawkins from Alanis Morissette's touring band.

 CONCERT REVIEW: Red Hot Chili Peppers -- With Foo Fighters
From the opening Foo Fighters song “Monkey Wrench” to the Peppers encore “Soul to Squeeze,” the concert was pure guitar rock and hardcore funk bliss.
The Peppers’ opening song, “Around the World,” their second radio release off Californication, was better than the entire Foo Fighters set, and it set the stage for the rest of the night.
Although they played a variety of songs in their short set, most of them sounded way too distorted to be enjoyable in a concert environment.
