When the crowd sings together, CHILLS. Dave said the great thing about that is that you can sing a song to 100,000 people and they’ll sing it back for 100,000 different reasons
The passing of Taylor is heartbreaking... He and Dave were as close as brothers. Love the Foos Forever. The live shows these guys put on are the stuff of legends. When most musicians only do 60-75 minute sets, these guys do 2 hours... AT MINIMUM! And even over 3 hours on occasion. They've played until someone shuts off power to the amps... LITERALLY! They give top shelf energy at every show, played through injury, and had shows that were measured on the F*&KING RICHTER SCALE! ABSOLUTE, REAL-LIFE LEGENDS! BTW, Taylor was the 2nd drummer for the Foo Fighters.
I'm just glad I got to meet him at the xgames when chevy metal played .. I thought him a beer and we talked about music for like 5 minutes... he was just a chill ass dude. A year before that I drove 6 hours to Chicago to watch Foo Fighters at Wrigley standing on the field. I'm fucking heartbroken 💔. Taylor is the reason I started playing the drums 15 years ago. RIP in heaven 🙏🤘🤘
@@tyleyden8695 Dave Changed my life when I first heard Smells Like Teen Spirit 30 years ago. I Idolised him as a drummer and wanted to be Like him. I've done a couple of Tributes to Taylor on my channel...
Awwwww when Rush was inducted Tyler jumped up and down for us all. Plus his own body of music is just incredible. Him and Neil are jamming together in heaven. ❤️
I met Dave and Taylor in 2017 when they played the venue where I was the head of security. We had just finished the security meeting with Foo Fighters tour security in catering back stage where we talked about what to expect, get set lists, etc. Dave and Taylor came in and got some drinks and sat down with me and the venue GM and asked how we were doing. Talk got around to my being a drummer since 1967 and we spoke about that a little. They left and we went and did our thing. When I got to my office after the show there was an autographed drum head from Taylor slid under my door. How freaking cool was that. Taylor could play any style from jazz, to blues, to pop, to death metal and everything in between. It sucks that he is gone and his demons got the best of him.
I started reading Dave Grohl's book a while ago and I finally finished it today. The parts where he writes about his best friend Taylor were really hard to get through knowing he's gone now.
RIP Taylor. Such an amazing artist. I can’t even imagine the pressure in his back when he joined Foo Fighters. I mean now being the drummer for a band that was lead by one of the best drummers of the time.
it is very very difficult for me to put Taylor in the same list with, John Bonham, Neil Peart, Danny Carey, Keith Moon, Mitch Mitchel, Ginger Baker, Buddy Rich, Dave Lombardo, Terry Bozzio, or Dennis Chambers.
I can’t even express how happy I am to see you guys react to this. His and Dave Grohls relationship was soooo tight! He actually told Dave he wanted to play for them since Alanis was a solo act. She fully supported him in doing so and they also kept a close relationship as friends. So many amazing songs you should react too. Even his last performance he sang a song while Dave played drums while they performed Queens “Somebody to Love”. Watching them talk back and forth was so heartwarming and now bittersweet. Truly a talent and someone gone far too soon. My Hero was also done soooo well along with many other songs live from their Wembley performance which I also recommend.
More Taylor Tuesdays! I got to see Foo Fighters play Georgia State Stadium back in 2018. We were like 10 or 15 feet from the stage. They rocked for like 2 and a half hours. Easily the loudest, hardest rocking show I've ever seen. Taylor rocking out on drums with a 'I saw your momma dancing at the Clermont Lounge' tank top on. Gotta do Best of You live at Wembley Stadium 2008.
Mjk would greatly appreciate/approve of the homage towards a fellow awesome musician. I applaud your authenticity to real music and musicianship. Thank you!
Think of how many lives he got to touch, and how much of the world he got to see, in his 25 years as a touring musician. Obviously, he could play the drums, but more importantly, he seemed like a guy who was pretty much universally loved by everyone who knew him.
Taylor is getting massive recognition! I took my oldest to see Billie Eilish on Friday night (same day Taylor passed) and in the middle of her show Billie had a moment of silence for Taylor! It was a very moving moment!
My older brother passed away this year, this was one of the first songs I listened to in my car thinking of him. RIP Marv. I will see you again one day, miss you, big bro. 🕊
@@marvinpetty731 Not worth it, broski. Life is such an experience. Reach out to the people that you love, hit the gym, talk to professional help. Hang in there and what ever you are going through will pass in time. Stay strong, brethren. 💪🏻
When the first Foo drummer quit, Taylor heard about it. He had met Dave and wanted to be in the band. He called Dave and said “I heard you’re looking for a drummer”. Dave asked if he knew of any who were available. Dave didn’t think Taylor would want to leave a huge act to come to join what was then a modest band.
I don’t know if you can but James Corden had the Foo fighters on an episode of carpool Karaoke and there are a couple of really cool Taylor moments. If you can react to it it’s a really fun look at the whole band. Thanks for honoring Taylor today. Love it 🥰
Even though I haven't watched every video about Taylor's death, I have hopped in every one of them that popped up on my algorithm and hit the "like button" because I have had mad respect for Taylor Hawkins alive. I know this musician deserves the love. my heart will take a long time to mend on this one. RIP Taylor!! I always watch your full vids though because I think you get it. Most folks don't...................Rappers React, always!!! Peace guys!! 🤘☮️🤘
So, I don't know if anyone else has mentioned this in the comments yet... But Grohl and Hawkins were the two that inducted rush into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. It is an absolutely wonderful moment and you can see it on TH-cam if you do a search. The extended version should include Dave and Taylor and Russia's producer of their last record in Cosplay as Rush Circa 1976... Kimonos and all... And they play the Overture from 2112 as a power Trio to open the ceremony. It is awesome. Highly recommended man.
Thank you brothers and I hope we more Foo Fighter videos in the near future especially recorded material with Taylor on it. Love your growing minds in this rock genre.
I was going to be seeing Foo Fighters perform live just before yhe end of June this year at my local football (soccer) stadium along with about 45-50'000 others. I've only ever seen them at indoor arena shows before. So I had a feeling that this one was going to be special. But the news of his death knocked me sideways, much like Chester Bennington's death almost 5 years ago.
Breakout music video was the first time I saw Taylor Hawkins in. Him spraying mustard on Grohl is just hilarious lmao. Most drummers are either overselling how they're playing or just "yup this is my job" kind of look. But Taylor always looks like he is just having a blast having so much fun and love for drumming. ❤🤘
How I was introduced to this song was a few years back, I was asked to be one of 4 firefighters to ride on our cities float for the 2017 Rose Parade. The theme was to honor the local firefighters. Well, the song we heard the entire parade was My Hero. We must have heard it played 1,000 times over the 4 hour event. Love that song! RIP TAYLOR HAWKINS🙏🙏🙏
I went to a Foo Fighters concert in Knoxville,TN in 2017, and they really give you your money's worth. They played a solid hour or more before taking a breather, and played almost 3 hours altogether. They have extended jam session endings like this one for almost every song they play.
Foo Fighters was a project of Dave's, he had the first album worked on and done, which he played everything himself, and then got Taylor and the rest of the band hired on.
In his autobiography Dave Grohl mentions that they became friends since they met when Taylor was Alanis' drummer, and that they got along so great that whenever they played the same festival or event and Alanis saw them hanging out together she always asked half-jokingly when he has gonna quit her band to join the Foo Fighters. Supposedly she also told Taylor when Dave Grohl wasn't present that she was sure he was eventually going to ask him to join the Foo Fighters.
And that is why the foo's are one of the greatest live bands ever. Interesting fact a concert of theirs in western springs in Auckland nz register on the Richter scale
I missed ya guys today!! I was a bit busy with podcast stuff but just watched it and that was wild!! I saw Foo Fighters one in my hometown. My first concert and my first mosh pit. It was crazy, Dave actually stopped to tell people to easy up a bit. People can legit die in mosh pits!! Rest in peace Taylor btw
I think the one song that really gets to me by the Foo Fighters is the song These Days off of the Wasting Light album. Its a really, truly beautiful song, but it is even more emotive in its meaning now after Taylor had passed. Not just the song, but the video is very touching in hindsight too. So that is my recommendation to you all :)
I’ve seen Foo’s live 4x & they always put on an amazing show full of heart & energy. Taylor and Grohl were best friends, just so sad for his loss. His legacy will live on in their historic music. He was a legend!
Great drummer, great band. I saw them do this live at an acoustic set and then later in the day during the full set (the only repeat that day) and it was great both times.
I saw Foo FIghters in 2019. The show was so amazing I wanted to catch them again in another city of that tour, but it didn't work out. Taylor was amazing on drums and singing. He will be missed. ❤️
I was 13 when Foo Fighters first album came out. I saw it at the record store with my Mom and I already knew that Dave was in the band. So of course I begged my Mom to get it for me, which she did. Nothing but love for the Foo Fighters. R.I.P. Taylor. \,,/
I love that y'all are getting into Foo Fighters 🤧, so so sad about Taylor , I can't even imagine what the band and family and friends are dealing with who are close to him. You will be forever missed R.I.P. TAYLOR
I recommend you guys watch their documentary Back and Forth, watch it on your own time, but it tells their story and Taylor joining through the start until their album Wasting Light which came out in 2011 I was lucky enough to see them live on 11/11/11 in Washington DC, Dave’s “homecoming show” I was front row with my best friend, 2 hours and 45 minutes of Foo Fighters magic, and they were INSANE. The chemistry between them all was magical and Taylor and Dave just as energetic and connected as you see in these videos. We truly lost an incredible drummer and person, Taylor Hawkins you will be missed, but damn you left one heck of a legacy behind #RIP
When you say "he gets into it", you ain't kidding. A foo Fighters concert is never 95% energy, it's full tilt. I'm going to miss seeing them. I had tickets to see them in July in NYC. Damn, damn, damn!!! RIP Taylor!!!
This song makes me cry when the first sentence is sung, due to Taylor’s passing. “Too alarming now….to talk about.” Taylor’s smile lit up the world and his ferocious talent behind the kit set it on fire. He and Dave were brothers. Straight from Dave’s mouth. I’ve only mourned the loss of two people I didn’t know. Robin Williams and Taylor Hawkins. Such a great guy. You won’t find anyone to say different. I’m still gutted. My heart has literally been ripped from my chest over Taylor’s death. Also, I hurt for Dave. He lost Kurt. Now he loses his very best friend in the entire world? How much is the man supposed to take. Fly high Oliver Taylor Hawkins. Love for Alison, Oliver Shane, Annabelle, and Everleigh. She’ll never know what a legend her Daddy was. 🥺 May God bless Taylor’s family, the Grohl’s, his band mates, and all of the fans that will never get over this loss. “There goes my hero…….watch him as he goes…”
Foo fighters always had a moment in their concerts when Taylor Hawkins leaves the drums and sing some covers like somebody to love from Queen or have a cigar from pink floyd (i know you love that song). You should definitely check that out! RIP Taylor Hawkins!
My Heart Is Totally Broken! Taylor Always had a smile on his face! And I am most Certain he is smiling @ us right now! What is it! Am I missing something? All my favorite Actors/Singers/Drummers/Guitar players... Musicians in general. GREATS too. R.I.P. Taylor Hawkins! I Love to watch him jam in this video!
Dave asked Taylor for a recommendation for a drummer, Taylor said "I'll be your fuckin drummer" -Dave didn't think Taylor would be interested with what he had going on, but Taylor said he wanted to be part of a band in the interview I saw. Pretty cool -what a beast.
Taylor gets a lot of love because he was like Dave's little brother. They both would switch instruments and both would sing. They both encouraged fans to come on stage and play so he found a place in peoples hearts for just being a goofy all around cool guy. He was a jack of all trades to be honest, def gone too soon, drugs killin our heroes off way too early. Taylor joined FF in late 96 early 97 for the record that took them to the main stage. So you can say he had a lot to do with it since. To be honest I haven't heard much from their first album without him, but I've had every album starting with "The Colour and the Shape" which had Billboard charters in it. If you haven't seen the original video for "Everlong" you need to check it out. Taylor is the damsel in distress lol. You can tell all of these guys have a blast playing. Same with Car Karaoke with James Corbin, funny as hell before all the late night shows went to woke writing and terrible jokes. You could designate a day for the Foo Fighters and have tons of hits to cover every month. They're so easy to listen to.
Oh boy. I am still frightened as I was when the announcement was made at the festival. First everyone went silent because the Foo cancelled the show, but when we were told about Taylor's passing. The whole place went... The stage where we were supposed to have a party with the Foo turned into a memorial.
GODSPEED TAYLOR HAWKINS! You and Dave were the best of friends. And his devastation is so real... 😔. Foo Fighters is no more. He quit. It's done. _However... one year + later... they are playing again!_ Just a couple of times, but... Dave knows that Taylor would be pissed, knowing his best friend gave up their mutual love of just ROCKIN', and Dave heard him! Come on Foo Fighters... come back to us. Taylor will ALWAYS be in the band. And he knows a kick ass drummer for you to meet. Come back to us, Foo Fighters! Do it for Taylor, do it for us, and most importantly, DO IT FOR YOURSELVES. Be happy again. PEACE! Love you all.
If you ever watch any interview or funny clips of Taylor Hawkins you'll come to learn he was such a super super sweet soul.Gone way to young.Also amazing reaction.
This live concert was super amazing. The foo fighters are an amazing band. It's so sad that Taylor died so young. To some 50 is not young but to me 50 is still too young to die.
Love you guys. Watch Hero Live at Wembley but please watch Best Of You live at Wembley, Dave cries, Taylor and he have an amazing moment (they always do). You’ll love it. I bought the Wembley concert doc, next best thing to being with the Foo's live. While so many of us loved on him when he was Alive, I think Taylor wouldn’t believe his own legacy and this outpouring, he’s (was 😞 I have to remind myself) so humble. He was pure joy.
🦋I Can say I Was An absolute Basket Case During This Time. Taylor Will Always Be Missed. This Is such a great song. I Can't Help But Tear Up Listening To It. 🎶🎶😢🤧🎶🎶 Rip Taylor May His Music Forever Live On, In Memory Of Him Every Time We Listen!
And Dave grohl lead singer and guitar was in band nirvana he played drums in that band . This song was in great football movie varsity blues its a great song they played it when they got rid of the coach in the movie and they were making the big comeback to win. Taylor Hawkins also played in band with Alanis Morissette and his son Shane learned from watching his dad and playing just like him Taylor Hawkins was mad crazy on drums his son did amazing job in this video. his son played amazing crazy good the feelings into the song like he said at beginning he never seen someone play drums so hard he went off on song he was feeling it I fn loved watching this when was on live amazing I did cry as I lost my dad and brother both within 24 hours I was rocking out to this feeling it as well are your daddy and you and your family proud amazing. keep playing Shane hope to see him more in future he's got that magic gift like his dad did as well . my bad before I watched video I commented I thought you did the video were his son filled in for him at the tribute concert
One of my all time favorite bands ❤️ RIP Taylor Hawkins 💔 I highly recommend you watch a video featuring Nandi Bushell (guest drummer) they have her perform live and she’s like 12 years old. It will blow you away!
Dave and Taylor were some of the best drummers in the world, they both play crazy hard and fast for being skinny guys, and would just destroy drum kits.
16 years old 90000 humans in Wembley and your first time ever playing out and it's to honor your father who just died 5 months ago and he does this??? It's rock-'n'-roll magic. That hair tho!?! This kid was made to do this. He's amazing.
you guys should check out Them Crooked Vultures. Josh Homme (of Queens of the Stone Age and Kyuss) on lead vocals and guitar, John Paul Jones (of Led Zeppelin) on bass and keyboards, and Dave Grohl (of Foo Fighters and Nirvana) on drums and backing vocals . they only did one album unfortunately.
Actually, Dave asked Taylor if he knew any drummers. Taylor said, “Can I audition?” Dave was like look we’re not as big as Alanis.” Taylor wanted to be in a rock band, and he knew that Alanis was moving in a different direction than he wanted to go. It actually took Alanis a while to get over Taylor leaving.
So my girlfriend at the time used pretty much Facebook for a reputable news source and every once in a while she would mention of a celebrity had passed away. One simple Google search would show that that person is not dead. And then March 25, 2022 happened. She said that the drummer for the Foo Fighters had passed away. One simple Google search showed that he was not..........the one time - the one fucking time - that I wished she was wrong. I never got to meet him or see him banging on the drums is most definitely a regret of mine. Like Michael Jackson or Whitney Houston or Robin Williams, Taylor Hawkins' death is (to me at least) one of those out of nowhere deaths that you still can't believe it happened. I couldn't even watch any of the tribute shows because I don't do sadness and I would be crying the entire time. He is one of the GOATs on the drums and you can see just how influential and beloved he was when you see how many people came together and celebrated his legacy. Even though I didn't watch the tribute shows, everyone said that "You gotta at least watch the video of his son playing 'My Hero' with the Foos," which I did and it's probably the video that I've watched the most on TH-cam. He is most definitely missed by everyone on this planet. There was no other like him and there will never be anyone like him.
He deserves all the love ! I am so glad Stevie Nicks cancelled at Shaky Knees in Atlanta this past October and I got to see Foo Fighters do this LIVE !! My heart is broken as refunds from upcoming concerts hit my credit card💔.... Iook at Dave looking at Taylor. I am afraid this is it for FF....💙💔
You guys need to check out the Taylor Hawkins Tribute Concert. Taylor's teenage son Shane plays drums on this song and fucking kills it. Dave had a tough time making it through but i think he knew he had to for Shane. He is a chip off the old block, he did his Dad proud.
Hi guys, you have to react to Warkings feat Queen of the Damned - Sparta. Loved listening to Foo Fighters as a teenager and still listen to them now they're an amazing band.
So happy that Taylor is getting the love, respect, and recognition 🖤
You mean people are using his death for monetization.
Always had it.
@@BrandonWestfall you could say anything related to him not coming from word of mouth is profiting from his demise, which in that case is irrelevant.
Sad that people only bring attention once they’re dead
@@BrandonWestfall Monetization is a thing... it's still a way for people to watch him. If you're not happy... socialism...let's fucking go.
When the crowd sings together, CHILLS. Dave said the great thing about that is that you can sing a song to 100,000 people and they’ll sing it back for 100,000 different reasons
The passing of Taylor is heartbreaking... He and Dave were as close as brothers.
Love the Foos Forever. The live shows these guys put on are the stuff of legends. When most musicians only do 60-75 minute sets, these guys do 2 hours... AT MINIMUM! And even over 3 hours on occasion. They've played until someone shuts off power to the amps... LITERALLY!

They were closer than brothers. He was quite possibly the most important person in Dave Grohl's life. And Dave has not been the same since he passed.
Awwwww when Rush was inducted Tyler jumped up and down for us all. Plus his own body of music is just incredible. Him and Neil are jamming together in heaven. ❤️
"Who lets the fuckin' drummer write the lyrics Rush did baby!" one of my favorite quotes from Rush's Hall of Fame induction. RIP Tyler 🤟
@@Scottracine68 yes 🙌

Just remembered that they were apart of the Kennedy center honors for zeppelin. I don’t remember what song but Taylor sang and Dave was on the drums.
Was Rock & Roll. Dave took the drums because John Bonham was one of his idols. pretty good cover.
Eddie Van Halen’s kid did the best tribute so far. He’s pretty good.
So happy to hear Taylor is getting the love and respect he deserves and talent down to earth guy Taylor was.
I’ve been listening to Foo Fighters since 97,all of a sudden it seams like a part of me is missing 😢
Straight up respect for Taylor we lost a good one 🗑️🗣️4️⃣🧬
I've been in shambles like a kid that watches his dog get ran over 💔😥

I saw Foo FIghters in 2019. The show was so amazing I wanted to catch them again in another city of that tour, but it didn't work out. Taylor was amazing on drums and singing. He will be missed. ❤️
I was 13 when Foo Fighters first album came out. I saw it at the record store with my Mom and I already knew that Dave was in the band. So of course I begged my Mom to get it for me, which she did. Nothing but love for the Foo Fighters. R.I.P. Taylor. \,,/
Great reaction and amazing tribute to Taylor Hawkins 👏....may he rest in peace.
I love that y'all are getting into Foo Fighters 🤧, so so sad about Taylor , I can't even imagine what the band and family and friends are dealing with who are close to him. You will be forever missed R.I.P. TAYLOR
I recommend you guys watch their documentary Back and Forth, watch it on your own time, but it tells their story and Taylor joining through the start until their album Wasting Light which came out in 2011
I was lucky enough to see them live on 11/11/11 in Washington DC, Dave’s “homecoming show” I was front row with my best friend, 2 hours and 45 minutes of Foo Fighters magic, and they were INSANE. The chemistry between them all was magical and Taylor and Dave just as energetic and connected as you see in these videos. We truly lost an incredible drummer and person, Taylor Hawkins you will be missed, but damn you left one heck of a legacy behind #RIP
Gotta get into him covering Queen songs at Foo shows
Wonderful Taylor. Just from Everlong to everything. I’m here for this. A legend
Taylor volunteered to go to Foo Fighters. His words to Dave were "Just remember. I know a guy!"
The ultimate bromance
You should check out Dave's song to Taylor after he OD
On the mend
When you say "he gets into it", you ain't kidding. A foo Fighters concert is never 95% energy, it's full tilt. I'm going to miss seeing them. I had tickets to see them in July in NYC. Damn, damn, damn!!! RIP Taylor!!!
This song makes me cry when the first sentence is sung, due to Taylor’s passing. “Too alarming now….to talk about.”
Taylor’s smile lit up the world and his ferocious talent behind the kit set it on fire. He and Dave were brothers. Straight from Dave’s mouth. I’ve only mourned the loss of two people I didn’t know. Robin Williams and Taylor Hawkins. Such a great guy. You won’t find anyone to say different. I’m still gutted. My heart has literally been ripped from my chest over Taylor’s death. Also, I hurt for Dave. He lost Kurt. Now he loses his very best friend in the entire world? How much is the man supposed to take. Fly high Oliver Taylor Hawkins. Love for Alison, Oliver Shane, Annabelle, and Everleigh. She’ll never know what a legend her Daddy was. 🥺 May God bless Taylor’s family, the Grohl’s, his band mates, and all of the fans that will never get over this loss.
“There goes my hero…….watch him as he goes…”
This song is fantastic and the crowd is awesome !
If you wanna see something incredible, you gotta watch Taylor Hawkins sing a cover of Somebody to Love by Queen
Foo fighters always had a moment in their concerts when Taylor Hawkins leaves the drums and sing some covers like somebody to love from Queen or have a cigar from pink floyd (i know you love that song). You should definitely check that out! RIP Taylor Hawkins!
Yes, actually he sang last week in Lollapalloza Argentina, such an amazing man
Need to watch Taylor sing somebody to Love while Dave plays drums!
He was a truly great drummer and he also could sing. My heart goes out to his friends and family
My Heart Is Totally Broken! Taylor Always had a smile on his face! And I am most Certain he is smiling @ us right now! What is it! Am I missing something? All my favorite Actors/Singers/Drummers/Guitar players... Musicians in general. GREATS too. R.I.P. Taylor Hawkins! I Love to watch him jam in this video!
My Fav song from Foo Fighters
Dave asked Taylor for a recommendation for a drummer, Taylor said "I'll be your fuckin drummer" -Dave didn't think Taylor would be interested with what he had going on, but Taylor said he wanted to be part of a band in the interview I saw. Pretty cool -what a beast.
Taylor was Alanis’ touring drummer for Jagged Little Pill. Taylor was an incredible drummer
Even though taylor wasn't on the album this song is from it's still very fitting
Taylor gets a lot of love because he was like Dave's little brother. They both would switch instruments and both would sing. They both encouraged fans to come on stage and play so he found a place in peoples hearts for just being a goofy all around cool guy. He was a jack of all trades to be honest, def gone too soon, drugs killin our heroes off way too early.
Taylor joined FF in late 96 early 97 for the record that took them to the main stage. So you can say he had a lot to do with it since. To be honest I haven't heard much from their first album without him, but I've had every album starting with "The Colour and the Shape" which had Billboard charters in it. If you haven't seen the original video for "Everlong" you need to check it out. Taylor is the damsel in distress lol. You can tell all of these guys have a blast playing. Same with Car Karaoke with James Corbin, funny as hell before all the late night shows went to woke writing and terrible jokes.
You could designate a day for the Foo Fighters and have tons of hits to cover every month. They're so easy to listen to.
Oh boy. I am still frightened as I was when the announcement was made at the festival. First everyone went silent because the Foo cancelled the show, but when we were told about Taylor's passing. The whole place went... The stage where we were supposed to have a party with the Foo turned into a memorial.
Great drummer
Taylor was Foo Fighters 2nd drummer. He was brought in for Foos 3rd album. 1997 I believe.
You know it's real deal when you become legendary drummer for a band that actually already have a legendary drummer.
You should do this song at Wembley stadium England. Will give you massive goosebumps. R..I.P. My drumming hero Taylor hawkins.
GODSPEED TAYLOR HAWKINS! You and Dave were the best of friends. And his devastation is so real... 😔. Foo Fighters is no more. He quit. It's done.
_However... one year + later... they are playing again!_ Just a couple of times, but... Dave knows that Taylor would be pissed, knowing his best friend gave up their mutual love of just ROCKIN', and Dave heard him! Come on Foo Fighters... come back to us. Taylor will ALWAYS be in the band. And he knows a kick ass drummer for you to meet.
Come back to us, Foo Fighters! Do it for Taylor, do it for us, and most importantly, DO IT FOR YOURSELVES. Be happy again. PEACE! Love you all.
Beautiful tribute, guys! See everyone in the chat next week
If you ever watch any interview or funny clips of Taylor Hawkins you'll come to learn he was such a super super sweet soul.Gone way to young.Also amazing reaction.
You guys should do Taylor's cover of Somebody To Love from their last show.
Here's the link: th-cam.com/video/6fMXsmjRecY/w-d-xo.html
This live concert was super amazing. The foo fighters are an amazing band.
It's so sad that Taylor died so young. To some 50 is not young but to me 50 is still too young to die.
Love you guys. Watch Hero Live at Wembley but please watch Best Of You live at Wembley, Dave cries, Taylor and he have an amazing moment (they always do). You’ll love it. I bought the Wembley concert doc, next best thing to being with the Foo's live.
While so many of us loved on him when he was Alive, I think Taylor wouldn’t believe his own legacy and this outpouring, he’s (was 😞 I have to remind myself) so humble. He was pure joy.
🦋I Can say I Was An absolute Basket Case During This Time.
Taylor Will Always Be Missed. This Is such a great song.
I Can't Help But Tear Up Listening To It. 🎶🎶😢🤧🎶🎶
Rip Taylor May His Music Forever Live On, In Memory Of Him Every Time We Listen!
Rockin 1000 did a tribute to Taylor and it’s gorgeous
He played that pink drumkit for years! RIP Taylor
Try viewing some of Taylor Hawkins live vocals. He usually does a Queen song. The crowd reaction/participation is amazing!!
And Dave grohl lead singer and guitar was in band nirvana he played drums in that band . This song was in great football movie varsity blues its a great song they played it when they got rid of the coach in the movie and they were making the big comeback to win. Taylor Hawkins also played in band with Alanis Morissette and his son Shane learned from watching his dad and playing just like him Taylor Hawkins was mad crazy on drums his son did amazing job in this video. his son played amazing crazy good the feelings into the song like he said at beginning he never seen someone play drums so hard he went off on song he was feeling it I fn loved watching this when was on live amazing I did cry as I lost my dad and brother both within 24 hours I was rocking out to this feeling it as well are your daddy and you and your family proud amazing. keep playing Shane hope to see him more in future he's got that magic gift like his dad did as well . my bad before I watched video I commented I thought you did the video were his son filled in for him at the tribute concert
One of my all time favorite bands ❤️ RIP Taylor Hawkins 💔
I highly recommend you watch a video featuring Nandi Bushell (guest drummer) they have her perform live and she’s like 12 years old. It will blow you away!
OH dear GOD. Taylor. I’m crying . Miss you Taylor. ❤
Beast on drummer.
I’ve been to sooooo my Foo shows and I’m heartbroken that it’ll never be the same💔 rest peacefully Taylor💗💗💔
When you're the drummer in the band that already has the greatest rock drummer alive
Dave and Taylor were some of the best drummers in the world, they both play crazy hard and fast for being skinny guys, and would just destroy drum kits.
I think you guys would love reacting to some of the live performances of Them Crooked Vultures, anything from their 2009 shows.
Im sure others have suggested you react to shane hawkins on the drums tribute to this. Would love to see that reaction.
16 years old 90000 humans in Wembley and your first time ever playing out and it's to honor your father who just died 5 months ago and he does this??? It's rock-'n'-roll magic. That hair tho!?! This kid was made to do this. He's amazing.
Taylor didn’t play on the recording of My Hero. Wasn’t in the band yet… Dave played drums on the album
It's a live performance
@@metalguru85 he means when they recorded the album in 96
Razor…. This song gets me every time. You should do it
you guys should check out Them Crooked Vultures. Josh Homme (of Queens of the Stone Age and Kyuss) on lead vocals and guitar, John Paul Jones (of Led Zeppelin) on bass and keyboards, and Dave Grohl (of Foo Fighters and Nirvana) on drums and backing vocals . they only did one album unfortunately.
You need to react to the version from Wembley tribute concert where his son Shane sits in on the drums. It's emotional but fantastic.
Actually, Dave asked Taylor if he knew any drummers. Taylor said, “Can I audition?” Dave was like look we’re not as big as Alanis.” Taylor wanted to be in a rock band, and he knew that Alanis was moving in a different direction than he wanted to go. It actually took Alanis a while to get over Taylor leaving.
So my girlfriend at the time used pretty much Facebook for a reputable news source and every once in a while she would mention of a celebrity had passed away. One simple Google search would show that that person is not dead.
And then March 25, 2022 happened. She said that the drummer for the Foo Fighters had passed away. One simple Google search showed that he was not..........the one time - the one fucking time - that I wished she was wrong. I never got to meet him or see him banging on the drums is most definitely a regret of mine. Like Michael Jackson or Whitney Houston or Robin Williams, Taylor Hawkins' death is (to me at least) one of those out of nowhere deaths that you still can't believe it happened. I couldn't even watch any of the tribute shows because I don't do sadness and I would be crying the entire time. He is one of the GOATs on the drums and you can see just how influential and beloved he was when you see how many people came together and celebrated his legacy.
Even though I didn't watch the tribute shows, everyone said that "You gotta at least watch the video of his son playing 'My Hero' with the Foos," which I did and it's probably the video that I've watched the most on TH-cam.
He is most definitely missed by everyone on this planet. There was no other like him and there will never be anyone like him.
He deserves all the love ! I am so glad Stevie Nicks cancelled at Shaky Knees in Atlanta this past October and I got to see Foo Fighters do this LIVE !! My heart is broken as refunds from upcoming concerts hit my credit card💔.... Iook at Dave looking at Taylor. I am afraid this is it for FF....💙💔
You guys need to check out the Taylor Hawkins Tribute Concert. Taylor's teenage son Shane plays drums on this song and fucking kills it. Dave had a tough time making it through but i think he knew he had to for Shane. He is a chip off the old block, he did his Dad proud.
Rest in Peace Taylor.. you're the reason I'm the drummer I am today 💔🙏😥🤘🤘
Hi guys, you have to react to Warkings feat Queen of the Damned - Sparta. Loved listening to Foo Fighters as a teenager and still listen to them now they're an amazing band.
There is Nothing Left to lose
