Taylor Hawkins: tour of his home studio, plus new Foo Fighters album

[@Poindexter03]

I can’t believe just how crushed I feel. This guy is such a sweetheart. So well-spoken and considerate. My heart hurts for his family, his friends and band mates and his fans. 😢 And what a monster drummer.

[@AlexSpetz]

word. Feel you man

[@casadealabanzafortworth]

Taylor is such a super fan. His drumming is undeniable. But, his humanity and energy was what made him great. RIP Taylor.

[@birdiedog5]

I've seen FF couple times, but I have to admit I'm not a huge Dave fan. He's okay. I loved Nirvana, but in FF I prefer taylor tracks. I like some coattails and definitely Chevy metal, but what I liked best about taylor were his interviews without Dave where taylor could get a word in edgewise, because he was such a massive fanboy and I am too, with tastes more similar to taylor than my other favorite fanboy John fruciante. Some of frus taste is too far out for me. I loved Taylor's enthusiasm so much and he did some awesome covers, ziggy that he did with Steve Jones, love me two times with the doors. Top notch. Idk I just love the guy and his love for and encouragement of other musicians. There's gotta be some amazing world where taylor, Freddie, cornell, kurt, Keith moon, layne, Bonham, Scott Weiland, Bryan Jones, jimi hendrix, Ray manzarek, John Lennon, Jim morrison and so many more are all creating the absolute best music. At least I hope, and I hope I get at least a tour of it.

[@brianm.80]

I will never get over this loss. I am so devastated. He was just the coolest, and what a gift to the world he was. RIP, Taylor. This one really hurts.

[@crazynirvanalover]

Back here after the dreadful news… love at the end when he’s so encouraging you to stay strong and go outside 🖤

[@haroldjoseph8296]

He should've practice what he preached, junkie.

What a lovely human being … Rest in Beats Taylor Hawkins

[@obiwann785]

He was so into the shed! Very endearing and authentic man. He must be so missed by those who knew him ❤️

[@deborraholiveri6202]

The enthusiasm he showed talking about that shed, he just lit up. And his advice to walk out in nature. A rare human being..

[@deborahkelly60]

Can't process that we will never see him playing again - I am heart broken - he was the shining beacon in the Foos, you just couldn't take your eyes off him when he played. We will all miss him forever. RIP you beautiful human x

What a genuinely stoked and beautiful human - it’s too bad we lost him so young - rip

My heart is breaking all over again watching this. Such a stand-up dude, Taylor was. I didn't know there was such internal contention about releasing Medicine At Midnight, but I'm thankful they did. My most beloved pandemic memories that I'll take to the grave are dancing around the kitchen each night as my young kids finished their dinners and I cleaned the dishes/kitchen while rocking out to that album front to back for months! My 2 year old was singing and humming along to each song and still does to this day. LOVE me some Foo Fighters.

[@350zong]

Dave has lost hard but this has got to be one of the greatest losses for him. All the interviews that you two did together you can feel the love for one another. It doesn't matter if this is one of ur favorite bands or even drummers it's the love of rock that we all have that puts us together. We have now suffered another hard death in ths rock industry. Many prayers for his family and band also to all the fans. They have been together since 1997. May you rock out in Heaven with all the ones that have been taken from us. When we have to put a RIP in front of a name we all feel that tough poke in our hearts. RIP Taylpr Hawkins thank you for allowing us to see and listen to all of ur best drumming and singing rifts

[@thomastrout9997]

Dave was the drummer in a band where the lead died and then he became the lead in a band where the drummer died. That's a lot to sleep with...

[@MrsBazzy]

Ohhhh beautiful man, beautiful soul. Big love to Taylor's wife and kids my heart is broken for you. Also his mates who were many and of course his brothers in the Foo's 🙏❤️

[@darrenjohnson7857]

A beautiful thing 💙 🙏

[@RyanCrase1]

Damn. Taylor all day, every day. RIP

[@rayledoux149]

I have a new awareness and apreciation for this guy he will be missed.

[@bradenkotzin2494]

Me being 15 years old I have to say I have good parents that introduced me too foos, Pearl Jam, and basically all the Seattle bands at a young age and I am lucky to like rock music!

What a beautiful , humble, funny, and super talented man. Great interview. Rest In Peace Taylor. God bless and God speed. I would give anything to go back in time to meet you and chill in your awesome studio, to talk music and life. ❤️ 🕊

[@smturner68]

I just turned 53, and staying at home not working right now, it is nice they did release this album and I got to revisit the guys and music. They make me smile nonstop. This is a strange time, and I feel like we need normal kind fun people like the foo fighters reminding us that decent caring people are still a thing.

[@JohnWins]

Taylor is such a great guy! Nice chat, sir! :)

[@kerrangradio]

Such a lovely dude!

[@ellelofing3436]

One of my biggest inspirations, you were an amazing musician and awesome person RIP Taylor 🖤

Great interview - you can really tell what a fun guy he was in this piece.

💔💖 Love you Taylor - we named my 10 year old son after you. We were booked to see the Foos in December. Absolutely gutted. 😞 Sending love, peace and light xxx

Love this guy! As soon as Medicine At Midnight came out, 2021 started to get slightly better! Thanks Foos! 😊❤️

I am unbelievably excited to see that he had the same Foo Fighters poster on his wall that I have had on my wall for more than 10 years. 😂😂😂 So sad to hear of his passing and grateful I got to see Foo twice live.

Omg such a chill dude, so freakin sad he’s gone 😞

[@rockerbob949]

Taylor worked at the local music store by me here in Southern California.

[@rockerbob949]

@CAZ32TT Laguna Beach is South Orange County. The music store was in El Toro...still south Orange County

[@rockerbob949]

@CAZ32TT He actually sold my buddy his first Les Paul and took some art classes together at the local community college.

[@rockerbob949]

@CAZ32TT Right on. I lived up in Newport Beach for a while. I left OC for a few years but couldn’t stay away. I’m in Laguna Niguel now.

GREAT informal chat ...Nice one 👍

[@mconnolly787]

Great interview, Love Taylor and the Foo Fighters, Amazing drummer and humble guy - Medicine at Midnight is an awesome album and has definitely cheered me up 👍 I hope The Foo's will be the first gig I attend when we finally get a grip on the pandemic - There will be a definitely be a tear in my eye - I have missed live music so much and the Foo's are the ultimate live experience 👍

[@kerrangradio]

We can't wait for that first gig either!

[@marloqueenfoofighter9421]

I just love Taylor. He's my brother from another. ❤️

[@1982pencil]

Such a sweet guy. Just a total sweetheart. What a tragedy that he’s gone.

[@sheldonmetler8239]

I can't begin to explain how crushed I was hearing if Taylor's passing 😢. I got to meet Taylor as Dave was my neighbor for few years on a particular beach in Ventura county. These 2 guys are the most genuine guys I'd ever met. Even our 3 German shepherds took to Taylor who ran with them on the beach. Most people are intimidated by our 3 dogs but Taylor took right to them. Of course I was nervous if one of them bit Taylor in the hands 😳 lol never happened. I'm so fortunate and grateful I got to shake hands and smile n laugh with Taylor. Even had a couple beers with these guys over time. We miss Dave and his family since he sold the beach house, neighborhood isn't the same. Taylor RIP my friend. I will never forget your infectious smile and I think my wife was a bit smitten lol. Your gonna be missed for years to come.

[@christinaneeparker]

If it helps, I’m guessing most wives in the world were probably a bit smitten 😍 He was an absolute sweetheart. I am so happy that you have those memories,thank you for sharing 😊

[@luciagallego819]

This man is such a precious human being, i love this kind of interviews when he's just by himself. He looked so happy showing his stuff, it had this beautiful aura around him i dunno. He always looked happy. I really miss you Taylor. Rest in peace.

[@MegaTweettweet]

Taylor cracks me up: ) And is always so chilled and nice in interviews.

[@patton303]

He had a poster of Rumble Fish. Soundtrack by Stewart Copeland. I wore that tape out.

[@ladysarah7]

He was such a vibrant guy- I just watched him & Dave do the ‘jonesy’s jukebox’ radio show where Dave plays Joney’s very well & Taylor (looking v thin)plays along but is more shy. He said he was a ‘fat’ kid & exercised a lot with his wife saying he had ‘manorexia’🤷‍♀️ we have no idea what was really wrong with him at the core ,physically as well as mentally. I’m a 55 year old woman who was extremely healthy & ended up at a young age with 5 back surgeries (my 3 bottom discs ruptured in succession) the first disc had had a long time to do damage before it manifested then the successive ones happened after my surgeon deciding to stress (basically stick a needle into) the 3rd disc up & boy did that cause hurt & damage! The bottom one is often caused by multi level spinal fusions which I’d had & required another! I’m saying all this because I have & have had to take over a long period of time, morphine, diazepam, gabapentin,nephopam as well as paracetamol (not sure US equivalent, same for ibuprofen- an anti inflammatory) the latter is quite generic and easy to buy but I take a large dosage as I have issues with newer anti inflammatories. There’s more I take but my point is what was found in his stomach? I drink alcohol to some degree - I’ve been taking these meds a long time & my surgeon even suggested I take a few drams each night (I’m Scottish) we don’t have an exact cause of death apart from being told his heart was 2x size of a normal man! I’m going on at length as I’m trying to consider in my own mind what the cause of death of a seemingly healthy 50 year old man was? There’s nothing in the drugs that shouts it out for me so I’m not trying to be morbid but just interested to know what caused the chest pains (presumably his heart) but ultimately the cause of death & why? This was an extremely talented man with a beautiful wife & young family- my thoughts & 🙏🏻rs are with them all. I also 🙏🏻 each & everyone of them make a conscious decision to know & accept the free gift of salvation that Christ offers- especially in these last days. As a student of eschatology & geopolitics it’s obvious where we are on the timeline- never leave it too late 🙏🏻🙏🏻
