One of my many favorite memories of Taylor and the Foos wasn’t seeing him in concert or interviews, but seeing him and Dave induct Rush into the RNR Hall of Fame. He was so jacked. He loved Peart and the band so much you could see the excitement and fanboy come out when they were on stage talking about them. It was awesome.
Never saw it before. Well worth watching. I am really at a loss of words... so shocking.

Thanks for that. The guy loved Rush so much. Drummed for Alanis and Sass Jordan. He’s about as close to being a Canadian as you can be without actually being Canadian.

This one’s a gut punch. When the Foo Fighter’s released the Dee Gees record last year it just clicked for me that this was a band that had reached their final form. They were having so much fun that they could really do whatever the heck they wanted and it would be entertaining as hell.
They were the elder statesmen of 90s rock, the last band standing and it was perfect for a moment.
I saw the Foo Fighters in 98 after the Colour & the Shape was released, at one point during the set Dave & Taylor swapped places for a cover song (Pink Floyd I think), despite not knowing the song I was in aww that someone had convinced Dave in 1998 to sit behind the drums in his still quite new post Nirvana act. That freaking mile wide smile on Taylor’s face as he sang still stands out over 20 years later.
After 20-ish years of thinking “I really should have see the Foo Fighters live again” I finally bought tickets for the planned Calgary show in September, hoping for a return to post pandemic live rock music.
Even though he supported Age of Autism and believed that vaccines caused autism and was an anti-vaxxer?
Real classy to try and turn this into some covid freedumb anti vaxxer thing. Bizarre to bring that here when a guy just died.
Hawkins and the Foo Fighters made some questionable decisions a couple decades ago but there’s basically no evidence at all that Hawkins or any other Foo Fighters members have any anti vaxx leanings.
They even had to deal with anti vaxxers at a recent show that required the entire crowd to be vaxxed.
Shows a lot about you though. But we already knew that.
