Foo Fighters - Medicine at Midnight (February 5, 2021) Album • Page 25

I can’t imagine what Dave must be feeling. So fucking tragic.

 

that breakdown around 2:15 good LORD

 

I’m thinking of this quote Dave gave Vulture earlier this year and hope that all can heal eventually.

 

just turning this on and already teared up during the opening of the set.

 

From the show a few weeks back. Swipe for videos

 

Truly so sad. I’m glad I got to see them last year.

Taylor was the guest on Mark Hoppus radio show last week and seemed like the best guy, after the interview I was just thinking about how perfect of a group of guys they all were. Can’t imagine how any of them are feeling

 

great episode.

 

I’ve always been so fascinated with drum cam videos of Taylor. Slamming the skins with that beastly grin and golden locks of hair blowing in the wind. Beautiful man. Legendary musician. RIP

 

he has some great original music too that i hope this, if nothing else, leads people to seek it out

 

Hope that right now, everybody can go back and think of experiences they've had like this and how special music can be.

My heart hurts today, but I'm going to throw on some Foos and remember how special this band is to me. How one of the first concerts I went to was with my mom seeing them in 2011 and to this day stands as the best show of my life.

 

Happy to see all the love for Taylor.
I have to live with that item in my bucket list unchecked. Didn't get around to seeing them because the few times they came nearby it was at otherwise mediocre festivals with tens of thousnds of people. My mistake. RIP to a drummer who did it right. Cut my teeth with so many Foo songs on the drums.

 

Man this is really tragic. Taylor seemed like one of the rock n roll dude lifers who'd be around in his 70's to wax poetic about the past while also still encouraging new young bands. I can't imagine what the band and particularly Dave is going through right now.

 

Echoing everyone’s feelings of complete shock and devastation here. Taylor was such a huge talent and seemed like a genuinely great human.

Thinking of his wife, kids, band mates and everyone in his life.

 

What makes this even more tragic and mind numbing for me is that Taylor and the guys were on top of the world with their career as a band and were still going higher and pushing the limits. Killer new album, performance at the presidential inauguration, soaring solo careers, Daves book, and a damn movie that made it to theatres in this day and age.

just…..dammit.

 

I can only really compare this to Chester Bennington in terms of how sudden and devastating this is

 

Agreed. Robin Williams and Bob Saget are both up there for me too.

 

When I saw the post from the Foos account last night, I just froze. It’s one of those moments where you kind of trick your mind into believing for a second that you read it wrong, or maybe somebody got it wrong.

It’s just gutting on every level. For us as fans and admirers, of course, but the family, the band, and Dave. I can’t even begin to imagine. Their bond was palpable. Non-romantic soul mates, undoubtedly. Dave’s words for Taylor in his book nearly brought me to tears when I read it a couple of months ago, before any of this. I have some really incredible, close friends who I feel deeply connected to and even those relationships don’t seem to reach the levels that Dave and Taylor had achieved. It’s just so fucking sad.

 

In addition to spinning Foos (particularly There is Nothing Left to Lose) all day, I'd like to reiterate that Studio 666 was the most fun I've had watching a movie this year and while seeing Taylor die (in a ridiculous way) may be jarring now for some, I can't recommend it enough if you're looking to just spend an hour and a half with the band fucking around and having fun

 

My wife was friends with the CEO of Pandora back in the day, and one year he invited her for Thanksgiving dinner. Dave and Taylor and their families were also there. My wife says that Taylor sat at the kids table during dinner. Honestly, I wouldn’t have expected it any other way. He was such a kid at heart, you could tell.

My wife and I were waiting for a drag show to start when we read the statement from the Foo Fighters and we were both so speechless. It made it really hard for me to enjoy the show. I just wanted to go home and watch Back and Forth…

So glad I was finally able to see them a couple years ago with my mom. They were one of our bucket list bands so I’m so happy and even more grateful now that I got to take my mom to that show.

I was supposed to be seeing them here again in August. Words can’t describe how much of a bummer this all is.

 

I honestly can’t name a drummer that looked cooler playing drums than Taylor did.

 

to me, this is similar to when MCA died, and the tragedy isn't just the death of a wonderful person, but the death of a band too. like the beastie boys, I don't think foo fighters continue after this. it just wouldn't feel right.

rip

 

I don’t think it’s worth speculating whether they’ll continue because it will take time for all of them to work through this. I think it will also depend on if Taylor asked for the band to continue, should he pass away.

 

I think the less problematic hope (or "speculation") would be, FF or not, I hope Dave and each of the members can eventually continue to create in some way, shape, or form, not for selfish reasons but because they're all very talented and it has historically been a positive way to cope with loss

which I guess is a roundabout way of saying I just hope they all have or find what they need to grieve and move forward in his memory, whether that's together as a band or not
