I saw earlier today that Taylor Hawkins has died at the age of 50. While I am not the biggest Foo Fighter fan in the world (mostly due to Dave Grohl), I did see the band live a few years ago and they put on a great show. The highlight of the night was watching Taylor smash his drums. The guy had a lot of talent and he will be missed.
10 W/Guns N Roses Live 2018
9 Brian May – Cyborg
8 Sass Jordan European Tour 1994 – At 22 Taylor was working in a music store and was asked if he would go on tour with a female Canadian singer. He agreed to do it and the rest is history.
7 Alanis Morrissette David Letterman Show 1995 – After the Sass Jordan tour was over Alanis asked Taylor to go on the road with her. Canadians know talent when they see it.
6 Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones One-Off Show 2008
5 w/Chad Smith 2016
4 Foo Fighters – Somebody To Love 2022

It always looked like he was having so much fun. Living the dream. So sad.

When I see a band live there is sometimes that musician that seems to radiate a positive energy.
He (or she) are having fun and so it forces you to have fun.
Taylor was that kind of person.

Yeah that live band was a one off touring band. Only was around in 1994/95. On the L.A. stop Alanis and her manager poached Hawkins and Nick Lashley.
