Re: Taylor Hawkins

Wow tragic and sad irony for Dave Grohl who was the drummer for Nirvana when Kurt left .

These rock drummers live a very fast life, their physical efforts are crazy when playing live, makes you wonder what keeps them going , and dying so young .

RIP Taylor..... thoughts go to band,family and friends..
He was an excellent drummer and id imagine it will be tough for Dave Grohl to deal with who had to deal with loss of Kurt Cobain in possibly similar circumstances as there has been no official statement on cause.
Have tickets to see them in June but there has to be doubts about that happening now .

Awful news this morning, I also have tickets to see them in June in Madrid, and London in July. As you say, they may not go ahead. Where are you due to see them?

Re: Taylor Hawkins

Grohl should obviously take the drum thone and beat the shite out his songs.It would be the best way to pay respect to Talyor

Re: Taylor Hawkins

Gutted when hearing the news this morning.
Excellent drummer when you consider the pressure he must have been under to impress Dave Grohl to get the job.
Though back to a little spatt he had with Axl Rose years ago.
Axl was trying to wind him up and asked Taylor "what's its like to be the second best drummer in the Foo Fighters?"
Quick as a flash Talor asked him
"Probably the same as being shit without Slash in Guns n Roses" 😃
