Just saw them play in Geelong here in Australia a few weeks ago, have tickets for the tour here in Nov/Dec. Completely gutted, in shock, can't get my head around it. Such a terrible loss.
That performance against Buddy makes it a bad weekend all around.

So sorry for Taylor’s family and friends.
Luckily I am a Carlton supporter.

This one hurts almost as much as Chris Cornell's death. Very untimely and unexpected.

I've only seen them twice, in their later years. Both times, Taylor played with such energy, that the rest of the band especially Dave fed off that energy when they played live. Without him I can't vision the band playing with the same energy, He is definately irraplacebable and will be missed.
I was actually thinking the same thing. I read a news report this morning he had complained to hotel staff of chest pain. But I suppose we’ll find out eventually.
Had no idea he was the drummer for Sass Jordan pre-Alanis. I probably saw him play pre-Foo.
Can’t imagine what this does to Dave. I’m guessing the show in September probably will be off.
I bet the Foo Fighters continue on and play by September. These guys won’t want to start from scratch at this point in their careers, and Dave won’t want to play Foo songs for the next 20 years without the other guys I imagine.

I would expect they cancel all existing tour dates, and take time off to figure it out. I think someone posted an interview where they said they'd stop touring if a band member passed, but I think that's easier said then done. Foo Fighters tour so much (way more than their peers) that it's pretty evident they like to tour. Not sure if the rest of the band is ready to call it a day on that. Yah, they could go to other projects, but I don't think that's quite the same.
But yah... if that were me.. I'd shut 'er down, take time to reassess, and see where I land. That shit ain't easy.

Just hope he is getting a lot of support now. He’s probably not even back home yet.

Was just saying to my wife how hard it must be, being so far from home and family right now.
I was at a party at the Clarence Hotel in Dublin in summer 2002. I ran into Taylor in the lobby (the Foos were staying there for a nearby show). We chatted for a bit. He seemed genuine, nice, and funny. This is really tough news.

They may take significant time off, but my money would be on the Foos bravely marching forward.

Just found out today that I actually did see him live. Never saw the Foo's or Alanis. But Sass Jordan played a festival here in 1994, he was on drums during this tour. Don't really remember much about the gig, was there to see Aerosmith mainly.

Yeah, it is going to happen. Part of the natural order of things. Springsteen lost the big man, Danny, etc.... Very sad at only 50 years old.
Terrible loss, I feel fortunate to see him play a few times. Obviously the Grammy's performance next week is off, maybe they'll do some kind of tribute to him instead.

I would find it very hard and awkward for Dave to play in a band called the foo fighters without Taylor...I can’t imagine what he’s going through man. The last thing he cares about right now is the foo fighters. He just lost his best friend.

In my opinion the foos are done for the foreseeable future. I think Dave will finally do a full scale nirvana reunion. Maybe do another them crooked vultures record or maybe a solo record. I don’t think he touches the foos for a long time. Taylor was as much of a star of that band as Dave.
Edit: those that think Dave will carry on, think of it this way. If anything happened to Jeff, stone or mike do you think Pearl Jam would carry on? Hell, I don’t think they would carry on if anything happened to Matt either. If someone chose to retire that would be a different story.

Not the same. FF is Dave’s band. Started that way and will always be that way. Pearl Jam, as much as EV might take the lead, isn’t his band.
He was such a youthful guy that openly loved his rock heroes that it’s pretty nice to see tributes come in from Mick Jagger, Ringo, Metallica, Axl Rose, etc. definitely the real deal.
even tho this thought comes secondary, I think the Foos are probably done IMO. Those two were joined at the hip. The void is too big.

Binaural, Californication, and There is Nothing Left to Lose will forever be linked to one of the funnest summers of my life (summer of 00).
Thinking of and sending love to his family and loved ones - and most certainly his band mates.

RIP
just watched the video I took at their msg show last year singing “ somebody to love”
great show, he really belted it out
I know a bunch of people who met him in SoCal over the years, him shooting the shit & even picking up a restaurant bill for someone. Always pleasant
feel terrible for his family
man. The last thing he cares about right now is the foo fighters. He just lost his best friend.
definitely the real deal.
