  • Forty-nine-year-old Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl will go to any extreme, and won't let a little thing like a broken leg and dislocated ankle - suffered during a stage fall in Sweden - get in the way. The former drummer of the grunge band Nirvana talks with correspondent Anthony Mason about reentering music following the suicide of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain. Mason also talks with Grohl's Foo Fighters bandmates about keeping rock's flame burning.

    Dave doesn't enough credit for his role in Nirvana's success. Whenever people talk about them it's always all about Kurt and they forget that Nirvana went through several drummers first and didn't have much success until they settled on Dave. With the loud guitars and Kurt's screaming vocals they needed someone who could really wail on the drums and nobody hits 'em harder than Dave.
    By the way, not a knock on Kurt, he was great but so is Dave.
    Also Krist was too.

I can remember bouncing him to Monkey Wrench and him loving every second. I’m 45 as of TODAY and spent my birthday eve last night at a Foo Fighters concert. Dave is the embodiment of my youth and proof that rock never dies. I swear I will ALWAYS see Foo Fighters any chance I get. The man is so talented and he just commands attention like no one else I’ve ever seen! Music fuels my soul and millions and millions of others and we need it more now than ever. His words are powerful and I will always, always love Foo!!

    RIP Taylor. Man I was such a huge fan of Taylor for both his drumming but mainly because of his personality being so damn positive. Other drummers probably couldn’t deal with being the drummer of the band led by the drummer of the most famous band ever in Nirvana yet because of his personality Taylor outshined all that noise and became one of the most well known drummers of all time which most bands have drummers the general public can’t name yet Taylor is clearly the heart of the foo fighters being in almost every interview for the band along with grohl. I know drugs were involved but it just seems odd as he didn’t seem like a drug abuser which I read he stopped and became more safe about it all after his accidental OD. Just pray for his family and friends. Gone way too soon but will forever be remembered for his amazing artistry and personality

  • @gratefuldreadness3249
    @gratefuldreadness3249 2 роки тому +9

    This just hit me so hard after losing Taylor a few days ago. I myself growing up was a huge Nirvana fan, which made me appreciate the foofightahs but wasn't heavy in to them. But like Grohl at heart I am and will always be a drummer and percussionist but because music has been a huge part of my world I'll find a way to jam , and like Taylor I'm an addict that's almost died too many times who's in the good fight now 6 years sober He really deserves appreciation because like addicts drummers tend to get overlooked at times but most bands can't be or do w out them. Just like Addicts need to use just to feel normal and not get sick when it turns from using now and then to a real habit. You would think that at this time in the world the problem would be taken as serious as any other disease. Stigma is part responsible for this lack of care and or understanding.
    As COVD became the big deal media stopped bringing attention to the pandemic of addiction where more people have been dying because of this lack of empathy and compassion. It's sad all I want is to raise awareness about how hard it is to play normal when your live revolves around addiction and for society to understand these are real people so help to treat these real problems. Rip Tay.
