    I can't imagine what Dave, the Foo Fighters family and Taylor's friends and family must feel like... My heart is still broken and i didn't even know him by person... Rest in Peace Taylor, I will cherish you and your music EVERLONG! ❤️😔
  • It's cool how someone who was one of the most legendary drummers of history will be equally remember not for his musical talent but for his joyous character and lovely personality.
  • @ryanaten3431
    “It’s times like these, you learn to live again.” May Taylor’s legacy and the Foo Fighters continue to live on. RIP Taylor.
  • @joshajcip
    1:27 I love how the instant he begins to play, that little drum kit explodes and sounds massive. Truly a world class musician. RIP Taylor Hawkins.
  • The guitar center part when they're busting his chops for being above the entrance is BY FAR my fav Taylor moment. That prideful walk amongst his peers is PRICELESS. 😎
  • @Anlazo
    Can't believe Dave had to endure this AGAIN. What's sad is he is a drummer that loses his lead singer, then he becomes a lead singer that loses his drummer. Totally heartbreaking.
  • @lolamagenta
    Dave and Taylor drumming together is an epic moment among so many. We lost a bright light and my heart goes out to all that loved him.
  • @Ana-kr4uy
    I was at the last show here in Argentina and i'm totally broken, can't believe this. What a great night and show. The FF gave everything and we did it too. We won't forget his energy and smile, instead of all.
  • @calkelpdiver
    A fitting tribute to Taylor, showing his joy & laughter and energy with his band mates and friends.
  • @MrCheesetastic
    I was waiting for this tribute. Nice words James. I was air drumming for Taylor earlier watching the full carpool karaoke you did with the Foos. Epic guy gone way too soon.
  • @edchiang
    Taylor has been and will always be my favorite Foos with his explosive drum skills, meanwhile the coolest and funniest of all. Many Foo Fighters song, especially the early ones without him would be so so so different, especially in live performances. Over 20 years of listening throughout my teens and till now still on my playlists most of the time. Never been a musician passed away hit me that hard, it's been a few days and still can't get over the news. I am really sorry for Dave who lost another best friend, soul mate and band mate, this will take much much much longer to heal this time.
  • @saadmemon90
    Thank you so much James and the Team for paying this tribute. I think people don't understand the level of genius we lost. A master of his craft and a force of nature. RIP Taylor.
  • @jamescarey9197
    He truly was a beautiful human being, he lived, he laughed, he played his ass off at every show and brought joy to everyone around him. R.I.P. Taylor 😭
  • @raedavis1697
    I'm totally gutted, heart broken he's gone. My heart goes out to his family and friends, Dave and the Foo fighters family, and to all the fan's across the world. We lost a very special, talented man, but he lives on in our memories 💔 RIP Taylor, we love you x
  • The joy Dave had watching Taylor play, the joy he and Taylor had in this drum-off. Thank you for your words, thank you for your heart, thank you for focusing on Taylor's gift and joy. It's been over a week since his passing and I still cannot get a grip on it. I don't think many of us will for a very long time. A beautiful tribute. <3
  • @dogfalcon
    This guy was so humble, so cool, so full of positive energy! I can't see a video of him; makes me so sad. It's like someone of our family that's gone... Damn. RIP Taylor. You'll never ever be forgotten...
  • @katesmith3966
    No words are enough to justify the loss of OTH right now … just heartbreak but grateful for the memories, tender moments , genuine joy, light and laughs you brought James with the Fooies and shared with us x thank you
  • @shannondawn44
    That was the best Carpool Karaoke ever . I still rewatch it often , just to brighten my day . Love The Foos . Rest peacefully Taylor . The world shines a little less bright without you on it ❤
  • Everytime I see 1972-2022 it hits me how young he was. There was so much potential time for him. Its so saddening
