The best 4 songs show of my life! It was the first time i'm seeing him and Dave at FEQ in Quebec city. The two best drummers of the world in the same best fucking band! RIP man!

Taylor. Te fuiste antes de tiempo. Todos tenemos que pasar por ahí, pero mientras, se va a sentir tu ausencia. Fui a los conciertos que hiciste en Colombia con los foo. Y siempre fue un deleite escuchar tu batería, la alegría y ese carisma que tenias. Un abrazo en el cielo.

Taylor and Dave are the reason I play drums and make music. Dave's songwriting got me playing again but it was Taylor's drumming that pulled me back to the kit. His loss leaves a void that cannot be dedscribed. Hold your people close...you never know when will be the last time.

It was like a gut punch when I heard Taylor Hawkins died. It was almost like saying goodbye to a friend, even though I never knew him personally. I even started drumming because he inspired me so much with the Foos. It was an honor to see his talent myself in 2017 in Berlin. Than

Maxi Konrath
