I never got the privilege to see him play live I consider Tyler to be one of the greatest drummers of all time, and the only man that, when watching a band with Dave grohl in it, you didn’t wish Dave was the one playing the drums, he was an inspiration, and may he rest in pease

Time is too slow for those who wait,
Too swift for those who fear,
Too long for those who grieve,
Too short for those who rejoice,
But for those who love, time is
Eternity.

How can I be consumed by grief? After all, I didn't "know" Taylor. A musician friend reminded me, "But Stan, you DID know Taylor. That's what great artists do...they develop a powerful bond by sharing their most vulnerable selves. You knew him very well." Artwork: Annie Abell
