- Video snippet of Brian May being interviewed by Alan Light on SiriusXM, giving comments on the greatest Queen fan who ever was, Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins.
It's amazing how close Taylor was to so many people in the music scene. May he rest in peace.
Not just music but in general. He was close to John Stamos as well. I never would've thought that. Dude was liked by everyone.
In all these interviews with people who were close or even met Taylor, nobody has said anything negative about him at all. He really was a living legend and an everyman who was just a nice guy. So sad.
everyone has good and bad sides so in the end he was just human, right? a famous and good human though😉 who left us some good stuff.
Yeah, of course nobody is perfect. But to have this many people expressing that he was such a cool dude really does say something.
Yep,.. the only negative that most don’t want to talk about is his selfishness of preferring to do drugs than thinking about his 3 kids and wife
Well unless you're a real a-hole of a human you don't talk about the negatives of the person that just died. But most of the people being interviewed probably didn't see many if any of the negatives of Taylor so not worth mentioning when it's well out-weighed by the good.
@@mixbassdj do you know all the details? There's drug use and there's drug abuse... Booze is a lot of times a lot worse. I am not very informed about Taylor and the Foo's, but watching some video's from Taylor in the period just before his death don't show him as a junk. Maybe sometimes he took something recreational. Most of the time that does very little harm (less than drinking). I don't know the details here. There's nearly no info. It sounds like a horrible accident to me. Maybe someone brought him some really bad stuff...
To have HIM talk about you this way it means you were truly one of a kind.
The finnish rock band????
@@promodeful yup, he was SO good they reunited JUST to release a statement on his passing.
To be fair most of what he said was how much taylor loved queen. But it’s Brian May sooooooo.
@@aaronoutdoors7556 you should see both Roger's and his post about his death.
I follow "Bri", as he signs his posts, on IG and I have to say he is the most genuine, kind, easy going gentleman. He shares so much openly and is very humble. He welcomes comments and actually reads them. Always appreciated the music - now a fan of the man.
Though I don't follow him on social networks, I've watched a few interviews of him on TH-cam. He's such a good, lovable man indeed. Actually, I couldn't put it better than you just did :).
What wonderful comments by the legend.
Very nice to see an actual rock legend speak on a man that a lot of "us" will now regard as a rock legend. I am Sending /Wishing Peace/Love to all of his fans and to his family. When someone is loved, no one that knows that person wants to say goodbye..ever.
Thank you for your kind words, Brian. I am so tired of everyone hammering so hard on how Taylor possibly died and forgetting to mention anything about how he lived. What a wonderful spirit he was and he shared his love with everyone he spent time with. Life is never about how we die, whether we struggle with physical or mental illnesses or if we just pass in a moment or in our sleep, we should not be defined by how we die. Life is about how we lived, about the dreams we had and how we made others around us feel and I think Taylor did well on those fronts. May his spirit fly free and watch over those he loved. He is going to have to be part of the band that is playing at my welcoming ceremony when I cross over. There is going to be a whole lot of drummers, guitar players and singers there, it will be the best party ever. If you are not there yet playing your heart out for me Brian, I promise I will be at your welcoming party having the best time any girl could ever have. I wouldn't miss it for anything.
👍👍
Many people don't accept that addiction is a serious psychological ailment. Those who suffer from it require love, understanding and support. I hope that attitudes change, then more people like Taylor will probably be able to survive sober.
You said all the right things!! BEST COMMENT!! 🤗
@@beckylynn209 Thank you so much.
It's hard to fucking imagine what Dave feel right now. I myself cried all night. It's over for Foo..
I sympathise. I went through this with Chester Bennington and Linkin Park.
All of the people in all the very many videos I've been watching, they all say he was like family and that they felt an instant bond when they first meet.. Even Dave said that and they were like brother's in no time.. I also watched a video that his personal driver did and he was in tears because their family's did so many things together.. They went to Disneyland and sometimes Taylor took them to concert's in different countries. He said those same word's about Taylor n him having a special bond right away.. Ya, Taylor was like an angel here on earth, flying all over bringing people laughter, light and love everywhere he went, including, heaven.. Love ❤️😥😘
Taylor and Freddie are rocking on Heaven's floor 🎵🎵🎵 R.I.P. BOYS🙏 LEGENDS❤❤
What a great play on words! 🤗
I think that those of us who never met Taylor really missed out on something. He seemed a genuinely kind and loving man.
Taylor and Freddie I miss you and this is the quote from the most beautiful Jim Morrison ...“I see myself as a huge fiery comet, a shooting star. Everyone stops, points up and gasps "Oh look at that!" Then- whoosh, and I'm gone...and they'll never see anything like it ever again... and they won't be able to forget me- ever.” ― Jim Morrison. Love you Jim Morrison. We Ride The Storm
I bought Dave Grohls storyteller on Audiobook about a month ago. I haven't been able to listen to it because of Taylor's death. I might start listening to it this week because Dave talks about him. You have inspired me Dr May🌌🥁
He had such a big heart
I’m so sad. Love to Brian and Roger, and The Foos.
I've not heard 1 bad thing about him since he passed. That says a lot. And every rock legend has praised him. No one has gossiped about his drug use and even the Celeb Rehab Dr was on TV defending him. I hope he knew how much he was loved
Grateful for subtitles
brian may is a national treasure.God bless brian!
I LOVE YOU BRIAN MAY ❤️❤️ LARGA VIDA A NUESTRA REINA !!! QUEEN FOREVER!!! . SALUDOS DESDE ECUADOR 🇪🇨
U r a beautiful soul and so was Taylor. Gods be
He’s just so infectious taylor was! He seems like the type of guy you just wanted to go have a couple of beers with and hang out. Just a good dude. RIP Taylor Hawkins
I just got a Taylor shirt in the mail before this came into my feed. I’ll keep it until my dying day. I love you Taylor. We, the world, love you
Foo Fighters know more about Queen, than Queen do. Brilliant!
To receive such a lovely endorsement by a man of Brian May's stature...wow.
Ive got a strange feeling Rufus Taylor will takeover from the late great Taylor Hawkins. That’s if the Foo Fighters don’t decide to stay on as a band since the tragic news. RIP TH 💔
THE BEST. 🎶🦊💕🎼🦊🦊🦊🦊🦊💕
… it’s been what, 3 weeks now? & I still can’t shake it 💔
I am so sorry for your loss.
No doubt Taylor really flew the Queen flag like no other... they really are putting one helluva band together up in Rock and Roll Heaven...sadly
😯"...alot of people didn't."!?! Queen was intensely popular, and has been since I was in high school.
@card you are right
@card MGK is a better rock star than all of them so who cares
Queen was, is, and will always be cool!
love you Brian,. mate, can you get Anita to sort your hair out ?! saw you on great british menu, last week! all joking apart, will miss Taylor forever, it is hard enough still getting over Freddie. They win and break our hearts, their spirit is so so unique, as Jim Morrison said "I'm like a comet, and you will never see anything like me, ever again"... or something along those lines. xxx
Yep. I'll be with you in my own time...... Omg 😘😘😘😘😘🎶🎼🎇🎶👍
I love story telling from those who were there !
Brian obviously loved him like a son/nephew. So sad that Taylor didn't open up more so he could get the help he needed.
Brixton Academy is one of those small gigs.
Waw Brian was at that Brixton gig
Brian and Roger guested with the Foos at Brixton Academy in 1999. Check this out! th-cam.com/video/zusuvE9JTl8/w-d-xo.html
@@johngunne3327 Wow
@@andypike1234 yeah, my thoughts exactly at the time! 😀 I was there and it was a f**king excellent gig!
@@johngunne3327 Taylor really had to think he is in heaven :)
Issac Newton is looking good
🤣
Interesting that Brian said Taylor talked about "the joys and frustrations of being in the Foo Fighters". Were there some issues within the band? Someone also posted stills from that 666 movie the Foo's did and Taylor didn't join in with the Pearl Jam type high fives with the others. There's also that clip of them accepting an award not long before he died and he did seem a bit hyper. Whatever the truth his loss is a very sad one.
Hmmmm - he mentions that Roger Taylor's son is a great drummer. I wonder if he'd be a fit for Foo Fighters.
Funny, Talyor didn't play at Brixton. But I get the sentiment.
Rufus will be the new Food drummer
Maybe. But honestly, I cannot see Dave playing those songs again without Taylor behind him. Can you? I'd imagine that the musicians in FF will continue on their musical journeys, but I think FF are done now. Another drummer to replace Taylor? Nah. Too painful. WAY too painful.
@@nycvideoauditions honestly, I have no idea about the exact dynamics in the band. I’ve started up a business with my best friend and two other friend. It’s been going on for ten years. Its a social enterprise so we’re not making much money anyway. But would I continue if my best friend died? Well, we’ve built up this business together and she would want it to continue for our clients. Also, Grohl and the Foos invested 25 years in a brand. I know this sounds capitalist, but it’s also a business this band and makes hell of a lot of money and Dave Grohl is nothing short of a proper manager and business man. It’ll be very interesting what he’ll decide to do. I think he’ll take a long time off. At least two years, try out solo stuff and how that makes him feel, and then reconsider. But I think there’s a good chance they aren’t over. But they have to grief of course and that’ll take a long time 💜
Rufus is the only one who could fit. Pat has lost a seminole band member pretty much every 20 years, Darcy, Kurt and now Taylor. We all know what Dave has been through. I cant see Dave not being in a band. I also dont know how he could get through songs. Its just horrible on every level, but if they can continue, Rufus would be the one.
I do have full faith in Dave to work through the grief and continue. He seems to have secure attachment (most likely a bit on the dismissive avoidant side), has a loving family and friends, has always gotten back on his feet again after tragedies, and he’ll do it again this time. Maybe he doesn’t want to do the Foos anymore. Maybe his main inspiration/fun truly was Taylor. But to be honest, that wouldn’t be like Grohl. Grohl is independent (and not codependent). I don’t think he was only keeping the Foos going because of his love for Taylor. There’s other things he loved and loves about that band and working in that band. But yeah, he’s lost his brother and is probably heartbroken, devastated and possibly depressed. But he’ll get back onto his feet and then decide what he wants to do for the rest of his life. Dave is strong.
@@alef3224 - Very good point.
Imagine hearing Brian fucking May say that about you. That's like George Harrison being like yeah mate he was rad mate
💖💖🎇🎇🎇🎇🦊🎶🎼
Foo Fighters best period was 90s.
How old are you
It is my understanding that he is (was) Rufus Taylor's Godfather.
I'm wondering if Rufus Taylor may be a good fit for Foo Fighters.
@@privatepenguin3137 I bet a lot of people are wondering.
@@privatepenguin3137 oh i hope so would be awesome
Didn’t know Elon musk was on a radio station
I don't understand how you have a friend you love , and you don't take a serious act of love .rip!too Late !
Act harsh for those you love ❤
Yeah let me just follow him around all moments of the day to makr sure he's not taking any bad drugs
He wasn't alive "at that time"! Geez
