    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.
  • 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. 😎
  • @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.
  • @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.
  • @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.
  • @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.
  • @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
  • @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 😭
  • @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.
  • @pulpbabe
    Adored Taylor, his masterful drumming and singing. He was one of the main reasons that I enjoyed the Foos so much. Lucky enough to watch him slay the drums four times, live. Such a kind and bright light gone much too soon. Love and peace to his family, band mates and friends.
  • @rustybucket224
    Just when you thought life can be really hard sometimes, something like this happens. I hope the band knows there is love and support for them in the smallest corners of the world. I used to drum, I had a fear of flying and the only thing that kept me distracted was the beat of the pretender just as the plane was going to take off. I saw him perform twice and I feel so lucky now, I will never forget when he sang under pressure as a Queen fan he brought me back to those days. Such a bright star, a loving dad, no matter what the reason for him leaving the world god bless him and his family. To each one of his band members and crew and to all you fans around the world just like me here, we are all hurting but god foo fighters are stronger than anyone. Let’s just take a moment to cherish his life. He will never go from our hearts. Thank you Taylor 😣 stay strong people. ❤️💔❤️‍🩹❤️
  • @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.
  • @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...
  • @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 ❤
  • This is BY FAR my absolute FAVORITE Carpool karaoke and there have been some great ones!!! When Dave opened with "ARE YOU READY"...i knew i was in for a good ride!!! My condolences to the Foo family, taylor can never ever be replaced.We love you guys bigtime!!❤
  • 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
