Che brutto scherzo ci hai fatto, Taylor.
Non sai quanto mi hai ispirato musicalmente: un batterista potente, rock, che sa anche cantare (dopo la batteria, il mio secondo amore è il canto).
Ti voglio bene, anche se non mi conosci e non mi hai mai incontrato.
Rest easy, my friend.

The loss of Taylor for his family, for Dave, for the Foo Fighters and for us is just unimaginable. Taylor was such a kindred spirit for Dave, a brother. I hope the love Taylor gave can reach into their hearts and start healing them, and us. And especially his family and Dave. 💖💖💖

La prima volta che ti vidi suonare fu assieme a Dave nel 97 a Milano, prima del live sul palco c’erano due batterie e avete suonato assieme per credo un 10 minuti, li ho capito che saresti stato il giusto membro degno di suonare la batteria nei Foo. Mancherà molto il tuo sorriso
