OoooMarkWright Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Terrible news. An absolute outstanding drummer, one of the finest drummers of all time. Huge smile and a massive part of the Foo Fighters. Gutted. RIP Taylor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boycie Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 It truly has turned out to be a Cold Day In The Sun.? I don’t know of a finer drummer, shocking news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomBustler1884 Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Really gutted about this. One of those bands I've grown up with and still love listening to. He will be terribly missed. TigerTedd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted McMinn Football Genius Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Sad news indeed, I have only just learned of his untimely passing. R.I.P Taylor, go and Rock out with Bonham and Moon, the heavens will be indeed be ROCKING ?????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerTedd Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 My wife and I have got tickets to see them for the third time in June. This time we’re taking our daughter for her first ever live music gig. I’m very sad about this, and it’s a shame my daughter has missed the chance to see him live. it’s obviously too soon to really think about this, but I do wonder what they’re plans will be going forward, and how this will change the dynamic of the tour going forward. there’s bound to be some sort of tribute to him. That’ll bring out all the feels. Boycie and ariotofmyown 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CornwallRam Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Terrible news. Taken far too young. Whenever someone who has contributed to the good bits of my life passes, I always feel like I want to say something to commemorate and acknowledge, but whatever I write feels a bit pointless. RIP Taylor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinder Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 So upset by this. What a great drummer and seemed like a lovely guy. His family and band mates must be devastated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostyn6 Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 A few years ago, I posted a thread stating how I didn't appreciate Foo Fighters music and thought it was a bit 'meh'. Off the back of the responses, a few advised me to watch various footage, I did and spotted that this guy was an absolute musician to the extreme, some of the clips I saw led me to think he had the voice and the swagger to be a frontman in his own right. Pretty sure I saw footage of him singing a Queen song, with Grohl back on drums. I did respect them and their music a lot more after. This is sad news for music fans everywhere as this guy was the kind of guy we (failed and frustrated musicians) look up to. Rev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I saw them at Milton Keynes, he took the Mike, and rather than Dave taking the drums, they pulled Roger Taylor on to do the drumming. Then for the encore they brought in Alice cooper to sing schools out. ducking epic!!!!! cstand and Mostyn6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could’ve dreamt it. It sounds like something I’d dream. But I’ve confirmed with my wife, it definitely happened. it wasn’t the broken leg tour though. Way before that. 2011. duck I’m old. We had tickets for the broken leg tour, but they got cancelled, cos he broke his leg. https://www.radiox.co.uk/artists/foo-fighters/news/joined-by-special-guests/ @Millenniumram will back me up.

That’s where we’re taking our daughter. we also went to the Olympic stadium to see them in 2018. You weren’t there too we’re you? Are you following me? ducking lived the MK gig though. Best live show I’ve ever been to. oh-wo-ooohh on repeat for about an hour as everyone filtered out, ringing in my ears all the way home. I still remember Dave saying at the start, ‘yeah, we’re gonna rock out for like 2 hours.’ Everyone going mental, and then he’s like, ‘seriously, I was just joking, we’re going to be here for 6 hrs.’ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
