That's a heartbreaker (though the pedant in me feels compelled to point out that track is pre-Taylor). I have to say, whatever people's reservations about the Foos, There's Nothing Left To Lose is an absolutely PERFECT album.

Spotify might wanna take down the new releases section from their/my homepage that says Foo Fighters, "Demon Widow" :(

Went to bed last night before the news and woke up to it this morning. My second thought, after immediately thinking WAAAAAT, was oh shit Dave Grohl has had to go through this twice now in very big, very public ways and if he comes out the other side ok then he's stronger than most.

i put together a foo fighters set to learn on drums just in case my band ever plays a halloween show and all of the hawkins parts i learned ("generator," "aurora," "low," "white limo") are so tasty/tasteful and fun to play
― STOCK FIST-PUMPER BRAD (BradNelson), Saturday, 26 March 2022 15:09 (two years ago) link
That "demon widow" looks incongruous now, but I don't think it would be a good thing to withdraw it as such.

i love that he was always grinning away like he got away with something, like he was Curious George & had snuck on stage or something.

damn, RIP Taylor Hawkins. I remember that he was on the cover of one of the first issues of Modern Drummer I received after I started subscribing. i had just started getting into music, generally, and foo fighters and colour and the shape were so huge for me at the time. a lot of the other stuff in those issues would fly right over my head, but i remember loving how he talked about music and how he played, the beats that were notated - they were all really relatable, happy, fun, joyful somehow, the way he talked about it.
― Karl Malone, Saturday, 26 March 2022 15:43 (two years ago) link
This is so awful, RIP
Obviously I feel terrible for his wife and kids, but one of my first thoughts was for Dave, poor guy.
Obviously lots of Foo love going about today, but I wanted to shout out the weirdo prog album he did as The Birds of Satan, I always liked that one. Also forgot until this morning that he drummed on that one Coheed and Cambria record.

loved this, ultimate fan momenthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1Ramu397UQand Geddy’s words abt Taylor from instagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CbkhR9VA1HS/
My heart is truly breaking at the news of Taylor's passing. A sweetheart of a man that radiated good vibes, a love of music, and a total monster on the drums. He was so, so happy the night Alex and I came up onstage to play YYZ with him during the Foos show at the Air Canada Centre on March 23rd, 2008... His excitement was almost impossible for him to contain.Brother, you left us way, way too soon... rest in peace my friend... 💔

He was an excellent, very funny fellow to interview… when we spoke, upon very little notice he started to talk about how much he liked Pacific Ocean Blue, and then some 6 years later when a deluxe version packaged with the never released Bambu came out, he subbed for Dennis Wilson on a song called "Holy Man": i guess Dennis had cut a guide vocal with a melody Hawkins could follow, but otherwise Dennis never cut a fully usable take for the record… "Holy Man" is for sure the standout song to have come out of those sessions, closest thing to a hit as such and INSANELY SOULFUL, and Taylor absolutely sells it, capturing Dennis's essence… surfer game recognizes surfer game…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDwTA_rabdQ
One thing that was clear to me about him is that, when other guys in the Foo Fighters and other peer bands talk about being on indie labels and touring in vans for cred purposes, he couldn't hang like that…he was on major labels from the git-go, his formative experiences were when punk and punk-adjacent bands could get on major labels, not to mention Rush, Queen, Police… he was a KROQ surfer kind of person, he was on tour buses and planes and never in vans…

The moment in the Everlong video when Taylor’s drum kit appears in the bed is one of my favorite things

i would have been annoyed/pissed if anyone tried to cover Andy Gibb’s Shadow Dancing but Taylor did such a killer job on the vocals it made me deliriously happyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7o5n5SpWEwQ

This sucks. I wasn't a fan of pretty much anything after 1997 but they always inspired a "glad they're out there still doing it even if I don't care if I hear it" feeling.
Third time going through this for Pat Smear.

I can understand needing drugs to deal with this world, but it is always sad when it takes out someone.

This sucks.
"at age 50" feels absolutely impossible for this guy. He was about as youthful of person as I can think of; he has always and forever will be 26 years old in my mind.

A cherished concert memory of mine is seeing them on that tour, opening for RHCP (#onethread), and the arena erupting after Grohl introduced "Next Year" as a song he wrote "...after 12 long blunt hits".

it really is a stunning album, i never tire of it & always re-decide a new favorite track each time

Same here (though Aurora, Generator and Learn To Fly are probably the best things Dave's ever done) (the debut is pretty great, too)
― politics is about vibes and the vibes are off (stevie), Sunday, 27 March 2022 19:52 (two years ago) link
Along with Taylor's family, just feel so bad for Dave right now, I know we're all on the same page

Pat Smear has seen some emotional shit over the decades is what I’m thinking.

its not great for anyone

There seems something just bizarre about his death, like it shouldn't be possible at this point in time
― PaulTMA, Sunday, 27 March 2022 22:20 (two years ago) link
Oh yeah, definitely feel for Pat, too. But the fraternal love between Dave and Taylor was so tangible. Two peas from the same pod.

Stevie Nicks:
I just have to say~Thank goodness for the photo booth in the Foo Fighters studio. Because of these pictures my friendship with Taylor will always be at my fingertips. He always came to my shows. He and his best friend Dave even let me be a Foo Fighter for a little while. We recorded a kick ass version of Gold Dust Woman (live) and at the end of the song I yelled out “Best Gold Dust Woman ever~” And I meant itTaylor was very handsome and he was very cute. Sometimes that combination is way better than “beautiful.” I think it’s everything. He had a huge heart and a glorious smile. When he walked into the room, everyone looked up. When he left the room, everyone was sad…I am sad nowI am really sadIt’s like rolling thunderYes, that’s what I saidIt’s like a bad dream~Comes like a wave~Gives you a momentAnd then drags you away.Our hearts are broken,We will never be the same.As I write these words~I feel the pain.But I will always remember~That the laughter and the fameBrought us togetherTo play the gameAnd we played it, again and again and againAnd it was extraordinary~Don’t forget us, “ T.”We’ll be right hereLove you,Stevie
