I was not a big FF fan until my very first concert. Watching Taylor in the background and Dave and crew in the front leave it ALL on stage was incredible to watch and sold me instantly. His passing is not only heartbreaking, it leaves a huge hole in the music industry.

RIP BROTHER, I never gave FF a chance, being a huge Nirvana fan. Then I was dragged to a show at Hammerstein Ballroom 7/3/2003. Roof was torn, Dave earned my respect, but you blew me away. A true badass rock and roll musician. My wife walked the aisle to an acoustic Everlong RIP
