Losing Taylor is like losing a friend. T you are sorely missed already and it’s so cruel you had to be taken from us so early. You were a true rock and roller and you’ll never be forgotten. I doubt we will ever see another drummer with as much talent, enthusiasm and spark as you.

Got the privilege of seeing you live twice. Seeing the Foo's live for the first time made think "that's what I want to do" and although I probably never will, I picked up a guitar and learnt it! Your show influenced me, and you will still live in each person you've influenced.
