    Thanks. I got to see the foo's acoustic in NY in 06. I'm a big poster guy so bought the poster.

    I came out of the venue, took one step in front of a tour bus and was hit by a car. Broke some stuff. The foo manager asked if he could do anything for me, I said, "you can have the band sign my poster". He was not happy. My buddy hung out with Taylor for a while waiting for the ambulance. Just great guys.

    Dave in Green
    Taylor in Orange
    Pat in Purple
    Some blood on there somewhere.



    That tour was amazing!  Glad you are OK and that story is so cool.  Heartbroken over Taylor and feel so bad for the guys.  Some of the best times of my life have been at FF shows (last show was when they re-opened MSG last year - after 2 years of no live music it felt surreal to be at the Garden watching the Foos and singing our asses off with 15,000+ vaccinated people).

    Really solid cover of My Hero in tribute to Taylor from Wolfgang Van Halen

    I was at this show. Really solid version considering they just worked it up that morning.
    Side note, I implore anyone who gets the chance to go see MammothWVH. Wolf is one talented mf'er. Must be genetic.
    Yeah he's really talented - it's impressive enough that he played everything on his record, but on top of that he's got an excellent voice. You can tell he's only gonna get better.

    Most of my friends are in the “I don’t get it, people actually know the name of a drummer?” crowd, so it’s a nice change of pace to come here and read through all of the comments from people who do. I’ve seen them maybe 10 times, but stopped in recent years as they typically play the same show. Absolutely regretting it now, but you better believe if they ever choose to play again that I’ll be on the rail. I can’t even imagine the love and energy that would fill the building for those guys.

    Wow, somehow, as heartbreaking as this is... it also is healing a little? I dunno. You just have to wonder what Dave was thinking while Taylor was talking, since by then I think Taylor had OD'd once and Dave had almost lost him...

    I'm trying to find that Sirius XM (?) interview from a few years ago when Taylor interviewed Soundgarden. So many funny moments...

    Tough. Sad for him. Really stinks for such a cool positive rocker. Blah.

    Article from Rolling Stone on Taylor Hawkins' last days.  

    https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/taylor-hawkins-foo-fighters-tribute-1347073/

    Interesting to note that a few people (including Matt Cameron) said that Hawkins went to Dave and Foos management and told them that he couldn't keep touring like they were and wanted to scale it back a bit.  Foos deny that these conversations ever happened. 

    Just a shitty situation all aorund.

    I find it weird that those people would air the dirty laundry to a reporter at rolling stone?  It doesn't seem like something they would do? We're those quotes taken from other interviews or something?

    I was thinking the same thing when I read it last night.
