  We’ve lost so many phenomenal musicians… but this one really hurts. Godspeed, Taylor. And thank you for the many rocking tracks over the last 25 years.

  I absolutely love Taylor’s honesty here. Can’t play double bass, struggles with playing grooves, anxiety about recording and playing live. Shows true humility.

  This is why I’m so grateful for Youtube. Allowing people to come back and appreciate legends like Taylor anytime we want and hopefully for generations to come. Rest In Peace Taylor Hawkins

  This interview makes you feel like Taylor is sitting in your basement talking to you. Such a genuine likeable guy on top of being a monster musician.  This loss is going to sting for a long time. R.I.P.

  Rest In Peace Taylor, your contribution to rock music will never be forgotten. “Sunday Rain” is still one of my favorite Foo Fighters tracks. Thanks for the incredible music dude. Fly high.

  Loved every minute of this!  As a 10 year old girl in 1957 who wanted to play drums, I was told no, you can have a piano.  So I studied piano for years.  But all I ever heard in songs and in concerts was the drums.  In 2014, after finishing radiation treatment for breast cancer, I decided if not now, when.  As luck would have it, a School of Rock was opening in my neighborhood and was taking adult students.  In a week, I bought a DDrum kit for $400 and had lessons lined up.  I found out that I was naturally in the pocket.  Within months, I was in the adult performance group and in the following 4+ years played at venues around the city. It took me 57 years to do this. It is never too late. I will not be what I could have been had I started earlier, but it is still a hell of a lot of fun.  I am now 72 and still playing as much as I can, even though I am no longer in a band. (Fell last year, broke my hand, took a long time to heal, played with one hand for awhile, got replaced, blah blah blah.) Thank you for this great interview, masterclass, whatever you call it!  It has energized me!  Play as much as you can, play songs, rock on!

  Even the greatest drummers struggle with Bonzo's drumming on Fool In The Rain. Nice thing about Taylor is he explains his weaknesses and how he built up his strengths. Great to see his son has the drumming DNA of his father.

  Taylor talking about his then 12 year old son at around <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwjEc8S0PRo&amp;t=623">10:23</a> - &quot;he&apos;s good at drums, but he doesn&apos;t really care that much about it... he can play... but I&apos;m like if you wanna learn how to play you have to play a song&quot;... having just watched the now-16 Shane absolutely rock &quot;My Hero&quot; at Taylor&apos;s memorial concert on stage at Wembley... I think it&apos;s safe to say he did, and I&apos;m sure Taylor would have been super proud.

  Can we just appreciate the amazing interviewer as well? He knows exactly how to get Taylor to talk and shut up.
