    Very sad....my wife saw it pop up in her newsfeed last night and said it out loud. Couldn't believe it.

    This just sucks. It's the same awful, empty feeling as when Chris Cornell died. Your heart breaks for his family, and for Dave Grohl. Going through this once in a lifetime is unimaginable, but twice?

    My first Foo Fighters show was in 2000 with the Chili Peppers. They were still only 3 albums in, but had plenty of material for a high energy rockin' show. Taylor was ELECTRIC on the kit.
    During Everlong, which has that fast, hard-driving groove all throughout, you could see 2 guys sneaking around high above on the rafters.
    It was none other than Flea & Chad Smith. And they had a cooler with them.
    When it came time for the drum segue that brings you back into the 3rd arc of the song, they proceeded to DUMP the whole cooler, filled with ice water, all of over Taylor. From at least 20 ft. above.
    He screamed, manic & wide-eyed in what seemed like a moment of pain, hilarity, and oddly, ecstasy.

    He didn't miss a single beat.

    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.

    This is so sad.

    Like many other posters on here, the first time I saw him drum was on the Jagged Little Pill tour.   I remember that being an amazing show at GM Place in Vancouver, then the next year i saw him drumming with the Foo Fighters at the UBC Student Rec Centre.   It was cool being able to see someone evolve their career like that.   Had the pleasure of seeing the Foo Fighters a few more times over the years.

    What do you say?  Unexpected death of younger people sucks :(

    I can’t imagine was Dave Grohl is going through. Someone online posted that first Dave was a drummer who lost his front man. Now he is a front man who lost his drummer 😢.

    That performance against Buddy makes it a bad weekend all around. 

    So sorry for Taylor’s family and friends.

    As a kid I'd set out to try to meet bands.   I randomly accidentally met Taylor 3 times while not doing that.    He was always nice.  Damnit this one sucks.

    Got a text from a friend of mine late last night. Kept hoping he was confused or wrong.  We both loved the Foos.

    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). 

    So, so, so sad… There has been no shortage of sadness these past few years.  This, on top of everything else….

    Thinking of and sending love to his family and loved ones - and most certainly his band mates. 

    Love to all.

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

    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.

    RIP. 
    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.
