I’ve been a foo fan for as long as they’ve been playing and my now teenage, drummer, son idolizes Taylor, Dave
and The foo fighters. In 2021, we traveled 11 hours to St. Louis to finally see you guys live, and it was nothing short of an amazing experience. Taylor is a legend.

The first time I saw the Foo Fighters okay live, I was 16. I was supposed to see them for a 4th time in May, at 38. I never knew Taylor personally, but you, and the rest of the Foos, have always had a special place in my heart. Nothing can compare to your comradery and energy. ♥️

03/23/08, my first Foo show, the one where I got hooked for life. Alex and Geddy came out and you played YYZ. Nailed it. Every snare, cymbal and tom, nailed it. I hope your learning to fly up there with Kurt. Rest in Power, Hawk.
