FOO FIGHTERS FT SHANE HAWKINS PERFORM MY HERO | REACTION (THIS ONE GOT TO ME)

[@SnoBear626]

Shane took the stage and left everything he had out there.

[@vegasviking86]

Fuck yeah he did. Watching him play this with as much power as he did, gave me chills

[@danduntz9112]

That’s what quality musicians do, and I can’t even imagine how he had the strength and composure to tackle that difficult song, and make it his own.

[@thomasmacgruber6701]

He was hitting those drums hard enough for his Dad to hear him from Heaven.

[@cindywander4570]

The look on Dave’s face as he watched Shane’s solo says it all

[@Huddle_House56]

I love how Dave’s face was like “holy f&ck he’s gonna solo”

[@dancewalkertarot]

This just leveled me. I was ugly crying for like an hour. 😭He did so well. Also I love the bigger message you shared. So true and so, so important. Thanks guy.

[@danabomb100]

You are not alone - I’ve watched it at least 5 times and, yep, ugly cried every single time

[@dianeveont1549]

Yep.ugly cryer here as well...❤️💔

[@jackyb.6541]

The most emotional interpretation by a drummer ever... And it was by a kid!!! That video made history!!! Definitely!!!

[@tammyjackson3113]

He poured all his grief into those drums. Dave said Aw Shit, they were so proud. RIP Taylor your light shines in Shane.

[@kimzwolinski9919]

The whole almost 6 hour show was so emotional. Shane did such an amazing job. His drumming style so like his dad's and the fact that this song is so special to everyone just really got me.

[@Huddle_House56]

It’s more like Dave’s if you watch him, not to argue, but watching his movements and wildness around the kit screamed Dave to me. Taylor played a lot like Dave anyway soooo who knows.

[@kimzwolinski9919]

@@Huddle_House56 I can see your point. I have seen Dave drum but not even close to as many times as Taylor. I didn’t dislike Nirvana but I also never intentionally watched their music.

[@Huddle_House56]

@@kimzwolinski9919 oh I don’t really like them either I’m talking about like with queens of the Stone Age or all his one off drumming when Taylor sings under pressure or something like that

[@Dr.Spatula]

@@Huddle_House56 it makes sense Dave would basically find someone similar to himself so he can make similar music without being literally the only band member after the first album

[@ColdSlayer300]

I'm still in awe of Dave Grohl playing with every guest, every band, and on every set for the entirety of that show. Shows how much Taylor meant to him and he was willing to play till he dropped if that's what it took to honor his brother.

[@ArtByDesign80]

I tear up each time I watch this😢…brings new meaning to “there goes my hero” 👨‍👦

[@jenniferfoster1692]

Taylor has been saying for many years his son is an amazing drummer..and I mean since Shane was very young. He's been playing tiny little drum kits right behind his dad, out of sight, during shows, playing big kits during Foo Fighter sound checks, and playing actual shows in clubs for his dad's other band with Dave Navarro. Of course there's nothing like what he went through here, but he's been dedicated to drumming for many years, grew up with rock stars and playing in front of people, so he's been preparing for this moment his whole life. He's going to have an amazing future.

[@joanmayfield4791]

[@danhunt2425]

Shane Hawkins (5 yrs old - 2012) m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6Cri5yQi7GUoZY

[@volunteerswin]

Imagine having Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins teaching you how to play drums for 10+ years.... WOW

[@ColdSlayer300]

DG and the Hawk were the greatest drummers their era had ever seen. People can argue and say Ulrich or Portnoy or any other drummer was up there with them but, at the end of the day, those Foo Fighter boys are kings of the drumming world. Good on Shane for putting in the work and holding back what had to have been a sh*t ton of emotion to put on a great tribute for his father.

[@Hobodeluxe960]

I'm a drummer, my son is a drummer and we both watched this together and we cried so much. That story Chappelle told about Shane not skating just broke me. This entire concert was epic.

[@robinstarkey6071]

I've watched this at least 20 times and I do the hard cry every time. So amazed, so impressed, so humbled by this young man, and Dave cheering him on with such pride.

[@ambrabridges2161]

Shane leaned over to kiss the drum kit that belonged to his dad before going into that end solo. A beautiful tribute from a very talented young man.

[@mztweety1374]

Beautiful tribute! The mom in me just wants to hug him and feed him chicken and dressing and macaroni and cheese 🤷🏾‍♀️🥁🔥💜😂👶

[@chammiequeen7838]

This child is loved. Dave watches and guides/encourages him. You can see the back of Omar's head. Rufus Taylor is down near him. Travis is on the side stage. All of the band is focused on him . plus 90,000 people sending positive love. That is a moment of connection to his father's beautiful soul. That is what we feel no matter how many times we watch it.

[@marshawnkramer2950]

I think I just saw one of the most beautiful things I will ever see in my lifetime👑♥️🙏 When he kissed his dads drums I lost it…Just WOW💛

[@flor9389]

He had all the legendary drummers there backstage watching him. Stewart Copeland said the first time he saw Shane rehearse with the band, he broke down and cried. Then praised his skills. High praise indeed.

[@photokt777]

I doubt there was a dry eye out there, watching that young Man playing his heart out in honor of his beloved Father was incredible!

[@jeffe1779]

What this show shown was the second generation of musicians are live and well. Shane and Wolf learned from the best.

[@zwhtan]

With all the emotions screaming out of him, and then he does the stick twirl - I seriously almost fainted. His dad steeled his purpose for sure.

[@atamagashock]

He’s got his mothers face, his fathers stance behind the drums, and the heart of a legend! He played his ass off and did his father proud!!! I ain’t gonna lie, the first time I watched this, I couldn’t hold back the tears. Shane is a super hero being able to pul this off and perform like the legend his father is

[@brynjarolafsson222]

No way in hell a 16 year old kid can play this tight infront of packed Wembley Stadium. Taylor took over his body and Dave knew. Just see in Daves eyes and how Shane looked at Dave. Little tears in shanes eyes. Taylor was saying goodbye to his brothers. Specialy in the fill. Everything was way to perfect. Great job kid❤️

[@TheDivayenta]

😢😢😢😢

[@dragon_turtle]

This is like when Gohan was fighting Cell and Goku had his back, in Spirit 🔥❤

[@TheDivayenta]

😢😢😢

[@mine-cb1et]

His dad was here with him for sure but it is possible, Nic Collins took the same stage at roughly the same age and nailed it due to his dad, who could no longer drum anymore

[@beaandjuno]

Did you listen to Dave Chappells story from the concert? Years ago, Taylor told him that his kid is the best drummer he has ever heard. This was cathartic, but all Shane.

[@nomiddled7290]

The young man also plays like both Taylor and Dave. Head down wailing away! Love it!

[@anadamining]

Bro you’ve got the most infectious smile. Hope you never lose it man. Also thank you for the dope video I absolutely loved the energy and passion in Shane’s performance. Wow.

[@diksken]

Brought tears to my eyes. AMAZING. Greetz from Belgium.

[@erink695]

He's channeling his feelings through that kit. God bless him.

[@LUckybones25]

That choked me up. That kid did a great job. 👏👏

[@realbser1956]

Kudos to Shane. That took so much courage and heart to get up there behind the skins and rock out in honor of Taylor. Your commentary was spot on. Family is everything, and don’t wait to tell someone that you love them. 😃🙏❤️

[@mamamac7069]

His dad definitely will live on through his son. RIP Taylor. ❤️

[@stevendiblasio3573]

Thats going to go down as biggest live performance of the year.Massive power behind the kit! You rock Shane! Keep your chin up and always remember what you had not what you lost!

[@garyw4211]

The meaning of this song had changed since Taylor passed away. Before it was about people Dave was inspired by in life. Now, for most of us, it's simply about Taylor. And to have his son perform it for his dad is nothing but beautiful and inspiring. RIP Hawk.

[@LordRahl1975]

He was incredible and showed so much composure. I was emotional watching it live on youtube on Saturday and it still hits hard every time I have seen it since.

[@drjag1155]

This is awesome ! What a magical and sad moment.... He plays with his heart, just like his father 🙏👏🤘👍

[@megzm6606]

First time I saw the video I cried my eyes out not even gonna lie it's like you could see his love for his father mixed with the pain of his loss then you have Dave keep checking on him making sure he's OK followed by him looking like a proud uncle at the end all of it just hit me in the feels

[@david.leikam]

Thus was the highlight of the tribute to his dad.

[@sonofthesea3298]

The passion in Shanes eyes and drumming really got to me,and taken into account that he is still grieving and the pressure he probably put on himself,really wanted to make his dad proud of him (if he somewhere,somehow is able to hear it in a non physical existence) I would be lying if i said i saw this through without breaking. Especially the sign of "frustration/anger" at times in Shanes passionate drumming....we know how kids and teens react like,as we have all been there. Everything feels unfair,we are angry at whatever took them away from us and so on.... im sure he got alot of buildt up frustration/emotions out of his system by going in on thoose drums the way he did. And of course his proud mom at the end struggling not to keep tearing up.... i have felt many losses on my mind and body already,and i never get used to them. So i know his pain,that entire familys pain. I dont know if Dave is Shanes godfather,but i must admit he truly several times showed quality as being one that had given Taylor a promise to look after his son,the way he several times takes quick peeks back to make sure Shane is looking okay up there. And the joy on Daves face towards the very end where they are closing it together. A tear jerker for sure,im speaking as an old Nirvana supporter,so i have been with Dave for a long time. I remember when the news hit about Taylor,i was in a few music streams on Twitch. And one multi instrumentalist in particular tried to continue his performances,but he had to cut the stream short. Because quote "I think i need to go somewhere else and cry,have some drinks and ....i dont know,watch alot of Foo Fighters videos on KZbin". It was such a impactful,shocking & special day. All of us in chat gave him our understanding and blessing to cut the stream short.

[@beaandjuno]

The league of the worlds best drummers all sitting behind his kit cheering him on... just beautiful. The love Taylor created, is being showered down on his family.

[@tonitoze2452]

I was also taught music from my Dad and my brother. Everyone moment you cherish with your love ones is what's all about. I became guitarist, bass, piano player. My dad was a jazz musician also conductor in Portugal. Because of him is the reason I have so much appreciation towards music. Which I'm so grateful. Lost him 2014 wish I had more time. Look back those moments we spent together sharing one thing we loved.

[@angelanetherton8240]

One of the best performances I’ve seen in years!! I cried how damn hard and great he hit those drums.. I felt his dads presence for sure!!

[@yrock777]

I've watched the performance 20 times. I am a father of 2 sons, so I know a fathers love. This was special!

[@mrsglittermepink]

Wow, even broke a stick and kept going, chips were flying at the end. Truly amazing

[@damonhines8187]

Can't help but be deeply moved by this. Rest In Peace, Taylor. Your son does you and himself, your family proud.

[@jaemyrick5277]

Shane Hawkins!GOD bless played the hell out of those drums. I cry every time watching this.

[@SugarcatPlays]

Shane beat those drums like he was angry at the universe for everything. It was incredible

[@yolandabrooksqueenofsevens]

I was blown completely away .

[@harrybhappy]

Raw passion power emotion and love wrapped in one bad ass performance, every time I watch it my smile is big and my tears drench me

[@ScottKinnaird-qx5st]

I've listened to My Hero.... maybe .... 200 times.... that's the first time I've listened to the drums..... . Perfect. Hope your dad's good brother xxxx

[@anthonyblakely399]

No doubt...his Father's Son!!! The emotions drove him!!! He's PERFECT!!!💜💜💜💜🎵🎼🎶🥁🥁🥁🥁

[@tracylyn85]

I've watched that concert sooo many times. Gives me chills everytime

[@eileendobbs8009]

I've watched this 3 times now and no matter how hard I try I still cry. He's so channeling his father in this moment. The look of pride on the Dave's face at the end too. It just gets me.

[@joanfisher1079]

Shane is destined to be a great drummer like his Dad in Rock N Roll. Taylor taught him well and his spirit was on that stage and with them akk. So great.

[@valerieterblanche4636]

Fabulous what a tribute to his dad

[@valogden]

Roger Taylor was a hero to Taylor Hawkins and Taylor became a mentor to Roger's son Rufus who also played this night. I hope that Rufus also becomes a mentor to Shane.

[@terryhuwe2184]

I'm sure Shane's dad heard him up in heaven! Bravo! He went out there on that stage and killed it. Look at all that talent! He's only 16 years old! And he's in front of 90,000 people at Wembley stadium! Wow!

[@chrisancel8819]

He hit the drums so hard so his Dad could hear him from Heaven. He was My Hero (looked at him every time they said my hero) for that performance and I am sure he was Dave's also.

[@CPegRun]

This is my favourite review of Shane Hawkins playing this song!! I know his dear Daddy was with him! You could feel it!! Thank you for this!!

[@djmattese]

Awesome reaction of an incredible moment in time. The most memorable reactions are the ones that don’t make you remember a moment, they are the ones that make you remember the feeling of that moment, I felt it here.🙏

[@rachaelesque3]

Smiling from ear to ear watching you smile while watching this. Lovely. Just so good. ❤️

[@GrubbyJim]

My dad passed away in 2020, he played the drums since childhood and Foo Fighters were a very special band for us. I thought about him all through the concert but especially during this song. He’d have been blown away by it. Great reaction, thanks for sharing some of your story with us too.

[@chelktty]

As soon as Dave welcomed Shane Hawkins to the stage, I started bawling. What an amazing performance, it was easily my favorite part about the entire concert.

[@fern]

I've watched Shane's performance so many times, I've bookmarked it! RIP Taylor, you must be super proud of Shane ❤

[@deedeedodee5168]

That hi hat knee bounce …that’s so Taylor ❤️💔. Loved this❤️

[@boomataco]

I grew up listening to hip hop and rock. I'm finally old enough to appreciate good country as well. A good performance. Is a good performance

[@squireman123]

Really great heart-felt reaction. As a parent, it's hard to not feel pride in Shane even through the sadness of not having Taylor here anymore. He definitely beats the heck out of that kit! My favorite part, though, is at the very end after the last note of the song when Dave turns around to wait for Shane to bring it to a close and Shane just breaks into a mini-solo. Dave and Pat Smear look genuinely surprised/impressed at what he's doing.

[@smitty6263]

At the very end of the MTV version, you can see Pat Smear grab him and give him a big hug on the side of the stage. I know Dave and Pat will watch over him for Taylor.

[@jenniferfoster1692]

I know, the backstage stuff was so sweet. Rufus Taylor was first with the big hug, his mom was in awe/shock, and Pat's hug was amazing. Pat was beaming the whole time watching Shane, especially during the solo. The whole band of uncles love him so much...he'll have a lifetime of support from a lot of people.

[@tjworker5482]

Great video and Great heart felt message! Bless you and your talent, and bless that young man Shane. He is a phenom! To pull that off? Incredible!

[@mattsymes3599]

fantastic performance! - even the great Omar Hakim was watching right there, feeling every hit.

[@misshel9807]

[@bigsilewis3660]

It was a magical moment, born of sadness. The love and noise in Wembley that night was something else. I was singing with the rest tears streaming down. One love.

[@mikal]

I like what you said about his father playing "through" him. A few days ago, I wrote that by the half-way point, Shane had fully become Taylor's avatar, allowing him to play through him.

[@miltonslocum8957]

Wonderful and amazing performance!! He left everything on the stage. Great reaction Chod! And your comments were well said and from the heart. Thank you!

[@davedownunder5056]

That was the most emotional thing I’ve seen in 2022😢

[@judyreinhardt2676]

I had the same reaction. I bawled like a baby. His father would be incredibly proud looking down on him. You are absolutely. Live in the moment. His strength was remarkable

[@tiredofit4761]

Wonderful commentary from a drumming peer. Music surpasses boundaries. Thank you

[@timrue8898]

Kudos Wilburb. Awesome review my friend and thanks for sharing your personal story about your pops. I will pray for you and your family and of course your dad. We will all be hearing from mr Shane Hawkins very, very soon. Pure talent and emotion oozed from his heavy striking. This young man, with heavy heart put lumps in our throats but you could almost see his dad smiling and saying " My job there is complete".

Bless you, Chod. And thanks for the “props” to your “Pops”…..I didn’t have a relationship with my dad….I’m glad you did, and acknowledge it. Good job, Bro!

[@coreym0]

The man sitting behind Shane is Omar Hakim. He played the drums for David Bowie (amongst many others). He played "Let's Dance" at this tribute with Nile Rogers and Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age). Please react to that. It was so great just like all of this tribute. I cried multiple times, especially during Shane's perfomance.

[@janes.1559]

He was truly possessed, in the most wonderfully cathartic way. I was afraid he would break a stick, he played so hard. Seeing the worlds best drummers sitting behind his dads kit, watching and supporting, just everything.

[@jacobadkins7221]

He actually did break a stick towards the end.

[@jenniferfoster1692]

Thanks for doing this. Like everyone else, I've been watching this video over and over. Glad to see a reaction from a drummer.

[@sheltonkristy]

He played for his life. He left everything he had on that kit. He's amazing .

[@lisarafferty7906]

Thank you from one of the biggest Foo Fans. They are my band and this has been difficult on us to say the least. The unimaginable pain for the Foos and the Hawkins Family pains us as well. But we fing comradare in watching others overcome with emotion and lift up the performance. This moment is one I cant contain my own emotions. My father and brother play drums and I have so many memories around music.and drumming. Thank you. Thank you for the love for my beloved Foos and Shane.

[@barbieserna7273]

I don't think I've ever seen your video's before, but it got my eyes for the Foo Fighter's playing My Hero by Taylor son Shane Hawkins playing the drums. Made me cry, he is so talented. But you got to me by your words about cherishing each time with our Loved one. Tomorrow is never promised for anyone, my daughter pass away with cancer at 30 years old back in 2015. Then my Mom from cancer in 2018 then my Dad in 2021 to cancer. I Thank God for everyday he gave me with my daughter 30 years and I praise God for that. Because we never know when it's time to go, but while I'm hear I will spread Love not hate. I'm now subscribed to your channel. God Bless you always! "Spread Love Not Hate"!
