I will not lie to you guys. Back in the late 90s I was listening to R&B. I knew of the Foo fighters but they weren't my thing. JFC all it took was one video of Shane Hawkins playing the drums at his dad's tribute concert and here I am. WOW
I saw this cover done live by Taylor last summer here where I live In Anchorage. I was nearly in tears. I saw the Foo Fighters nearly 12 year prior and they were JUST as good. Please listen to every album. You won't be disappointed. See if you can find a backyard session of Dave doing his cover of Prince's Darling Nicky. It's AMAZING.
I almost died this summer from cancer, but had a miracle recovery. since then music has a new meaning for me and i have a deeper enjoyment of finding clips like this that may never have happened if things were a little different. love it and rocking on.....
Seeing his son there and how young Taylors son is, it breaks my heart he will not have his father around. I hope he is able to cherish the moments he had like this with his dad. So sad.
I love how passionate Taylor is about singing like as much as his drumming he’s so psyched he’s so into it and he’s so happy it’s just beautiful it’s a beautiful thing to watch rest in peace Taylor we love you
Always liked him with his drums but didn't know he was a good singer too. Same with Grohl. Knew him first as drummer for Nirvana and the Foo Fighters come along and he's out front with a guitar and singing. Never know what people can do and it's great to be surprised! We miss ya Taylor. Such a talent. RIP.
My God, what a performance!!! Another rock legend gone way to damn soon!!! That man could sing and play the drum, Amazing performer!!! RIP Taylor, we miss you so much!! ❤🌹😥
A month ago (March 2022) I was in disbelief. Tonight, after seeing this, I am crying like a baby. This band, Taylor in front with Dave in back could have been the opening act for Foo Fighters.
I grew up as an enormous Beatles fan. Still am. But now I love Foo Fighters just as much. I never got to see them with Taylor, sadly, but we’re going to see them in Boston-their first big Foos show since Taylor died. It’s going to be so bittersweet to see them without this sweet, amazingly talented man. But music has always meant life and renewal for Dave and this band. I’m going to try to just remember that when I’m at what I’m sure will be a very emotional night for everyone.
agree man, he knew when NOT to go for the Freddie note (though he did nail the last "love" after the falsetto), and he also knew how to do all the bits that made the song so great. Incredible to have TWO incredible drummers and frontmen in the same band ..!
Taylor you have left a massive hole in this world and it will never be filled. Dave, I have no idea how you can ever fill this massive gap. My heart goes out to you all. Taylor you have a beautiful family and one of the most coolest bf ever. Please save me a seat at a cool bar in heaven for an ice cold lager. Sweet dreams you absolute legend x MummaGx
The Foo Fighters are a great group....true musicians! But what a legendary duo Grohl and Hawkins made!! Outstanding performance! My heart truly goes out to Dave and the Foos and Taylor's wife and children.
I’m truly blessed to have been able to experience some of the most unbelievable multitalented musicians in my life time. Taylor will be missed but never ever forgotten. There is one hell of a band upstairs ❤️
When he says I can't sing a nirvana song but got best drummer ever behind me and Dave grohl is behind u and starts playing Shane I don't know if that was even written then but omg xx I loved Taylor he did queen proud here 🎶❤
Man he was so happy doing this performance I don’t wanna wrap anything up I would never wanna wrap anything up I’m just glad that he had to have this field is Joy experience he deserves 50 years more of this…at least. Rest in peace Tyler we love you
that song. is me. I love them. I hope they never go away take a take a beautiful song and do it and make it so much their own and make it right out of respect I love them I will always love the Foo Fighters thank you David very much you make me smile every time please don’t go away.
Taylor podia ter tido uma excelente carreira como vocalista. A presença, performance, voz, tudo é fantástico. Quem não conhecer nao acredita que ele é o baterista. Infelizmente partiu cedo demais
Taylor is singing this song with Freddy right now. R.I.P. to a true legend.
And playing drums with Keith Moon and John Bonham. 👌🏼
Yes, he surely is !
@@sterlingarcher74 👌👌👌
🥰
I could not agree more. Beautiful idea.
You can just feel how much he loved performing. Really a loss. Feel for his wife and 3 children.
Beaurifully said, buddy. X
Amazing performance by Taylor!

Same
"It's not too late, it's never too late" - to become a Foo Fighters fan.
I almost died this summer from cancer, but had a miracle recovery. since then music has a new meaning for me and i have a deeper enjoyment of finding clips like this that may never have happened if things were a little different. love it and rocking on.....
taylor and freddy together in paradise
1:00 the way Dave starts singing for Shane😭😭plz I love him
Can we please appreciate that this incredible human is wearing two different socks. So loved and missed!
Also swim trunks?!? A true rock legend RIP Taylor
I do the same thing! I literally never wear matching socks 😂 I also love how he always looked like he just walked off the beach in Malibu.
taylor is such a great singer, he looks like he just came from a surf session at Bondi and belts out this .....RIP you legend
Taylor was beyond Somebody to Love. Thank you for posting this great version.
I don't normally comment on UA-cam, but...damn. You can see here how much Dave loved Taylor.
Seeing his son there and how young Taylors son is, it breaks my heart he will not have his father around. I hope he is able to cherish the moments he had like this with his dad. So sad.
This clip is everything! 2 awesome drummers and a great classic song. Freddy Mercury would be proud. Rock on Mercury and Hawkins🙏🏾
❤❤
Freddie
Just epic performance full stop. Nothing else is needed to be said.
❤
Oh my God. Are you serious!? I had no idea. I have no words I'm left dumbfounded and speechless. RIP you musical GIANT!
I love how passionate Taylor is about singing like as much as his drumming he’s so psyched he’s so into it and he’s so happy it’s just beautiful it’s a beautiful thing to watch rest in peace Taylor we love you
So so sad. So young and so much talent. My heartfelt condolences to his family and friends especially his children.
R. I. P. Taylor Hawkins. I can't believe it.
"The Tempo is whatever I say it is" yes, yes it is.
Always liked him with his drums but didn't know he was a good singer too. Same with Grohl. Knew him first as drummer for Nirvana and the Foo Fighters come along and he's out front with a guitar and singing. Never know what people can do and it's great to be surprised! We miss ya Taylor.

My God, what a performance!!! Another rock legend gone way to damn soon!!! That man could sing and play the drum, Amazing performer!!! RIP Taylor, we miss you so much!! ❤🌹😥
Thank u Taylor! RIP 😔😭
A month ago (March 2022) I was in disbelief. Tonight, after seeing this, I am crying like a baby. This band, Taylor in front with Dave in back could have been the opening act for Foo Fighters.
Rest in peace Taylor, such a loss to the world 🙏
Unreal talent. RIP Taylor Hawkins 😢
RIP Freddie and Taylor.... makes me so sad
Wow- He did Freddie proud- but this version is different too- Ass kicking! We love you!
In his fucking board shorts nailing the fucking shit out of it!
I grew up as an enormous Beatles fan. Still am. But now I love Foo Fighters just as much. I never got to see them with Taylor, sadly, but we’re going to see them in Boston-their first big Foos show since Taylor died.

Taylor singing..dave on the kit again..this is perfection. ❤🎶
We will always love you Taylor. You left love for the world we will always have your music forever.
Never new he's such a good singer.Keep Rockin in Paradise.
Love the foo, love Freddie, this was the perfect meld of then and now. Miss Taylor, talented in so many ways.
RIP TAYLOR MISSED BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN 🙏🏾🤘🏾
RIP, Last truly Queen fan... Missed
what! a! VOICE!! 😥 Taylor, you will be missed!
Taylor Hawkins. A true musician and the closest voice to Freddy i ever heard!
He will be sadly missed. A true rock star in every way. God bless.
Still can't believe it.🕯
Only legends play that hard for their band. Dave beat the shit out of those. Drums. In respect for the man who he felt beat them as good or better
Such a f***in loss.....Taylor, you were a giant.....so special...so talented. Rest in power and blessings to your wife, children and band mates.
I like to think that if Taylor knew he’d be singing live for the last time, he still would’ve picked this song
The Foo Fighters were fantastically talented. Every one of them.
ARE
RIP to my favorite drummer of all time!
This was perfection.
I miss this guy, and I didn`t even know him
Taylor….you are missed
taylor forever
One by one, only the good die young! Thanks for entertaining for quarter of century. RIP Taylor 🙏
He could really belt it out...leave us wantingwhat will never be, forevermore RIP
That's such a beautiful talented man! I'm so sorry for your loss brother!
Bring back the classics and let us play them or they will get LOST FOREVER!
RIP great man
Rest in heaven Freddy n taylor. 🙏🙏
Hard to believe that he's not here anymore rip
Dear Taylor, quit being such a fanboy and realize you are beautiful, talented and so remarkable. Gone way too early but much love and respect forever.
to the glory heavens above Taylor could sing as good as he played drums dang dude you are sorely missed 😢❤
I didn't know he was this talented! Blew my mind.
It make me cry, it make me laugh. Your friendship trespass everything. Please Foo, don't leave us, we need more crazy songs. You are fighters!
AWESOME
First time I ever watch this video fucking amazing
Taylor had a great voice. You can tell he loved Freddie Mercury and his style.
I am usually very critical of Queen covers. Taylor had listened to every nuance of how Fred used to sing this live, and it shows. Utterly brilliant.
agree man, he knew when NOT to go for the Freddie note (though he did nail the last "love" after the falsetto), and he also knew how to do all the bits that made the song so great. Incredible to have TWO incredible drummers and frontmen in the same band ..!
Such a talented band and obviously good friends.
Doesnt look like that at 3:31
Holy fuck, incredible!
You are so missed TH! ❤
Taylor you have left a massive hole in this world and it will never be filled. Dave, I have no idea how you can ever fill this massive gap. My heart goes out to you all. Taylor you have a beautiful family and one of the most coolest bf ever. Please save me a seat at a cool bar in heaven for an ice cold lager. Sweet dreams you absolute legend x MummaGx
enjoy, legends while they are here in this life.. Because tomorrow is not given.
So sad we lost him, a true talent .....
To think about a years later Shane would take his father spot in a memorial
The Foo Fighters are a great group....true musicians! But what a legendary duo Grohl and Hawkins made!! Outstanding performance! My heart truly goes out to Dave and the Foos and Taylor's wife and children.
I’m truly blessed to have been able to experience some of the most unbelievable multitalented musicians in my life time. Taylor will be missed but never ever forgotten. There is one hell of a band upstairs ❤️
love this cover
I still can’t believe he’s gone.
We miss you so much Taylor. God Bless Foo Fighters.
When he says I can't sing a nirvana song but got best drummer ever behind me and Dave grohl is behind u and starts playing Shane I don't know if that was even written then but omg xx I loved Taylor he did queen proud here 🎶❤
Man he was so happy doing this performance I don’t wanna wrap anything up I would never wanna wrap anything up I’m just glad that he had to have this field is Joy experience he deserves 50 years more of this…at least. Rest in peace Tyler we love you
He was so talented......RIP
Miss you Taylor I hope that you are in heaven rocking around up there with all the famous singers 🥺😭😭😭

me. I love them. I hope they never go away take a take a beautiful song and do it and make it so much their own and make it right out of respect I love them I will always love the Foo Fighters thank you David very much you make me smile every time please don’t go away.
Dave pointing his drum stick at Taylor like “SING THE SONG!” is taking me out. 😭😭
Rest In Peace Taylor 🙏🏼
Still can’t believe he’s gone. He lived a life that’s for sure. No one else like him ever. Miss him forever.
Ow Ohhh My!!! So talented and Hi's son is so prod and gorgeous!! Shane keep walking!!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
love from Brazil 💚💛
Taylor podia ter tido uma excelente carreira como vocalista. A presença, performance, voz, tudo é fantástico. Quem não conhecer nao acredita que ele é o baterista. Infelizmente partiu cedo demais
We all loved you Taylor. RIP.
rest in peace legend..
Find anybody else that can pull that off. I guarantee you you won’t. I love them so much.
Que voz tinha Taylor,descanse em paz,que Deus te receba na Glória!!!
Sua presença incrível nós palcos nós deixa sem palavras ele realmente conquistou os nossos corações Taylor Hawkins
Excellent drummer too.
Great performance
Thank You
R.I.P. Taylor!
Eu mesma não tinha noção de como eu amava esse cara. Não consigo acreditar até hoje que ele se foi 💔
We love you Taylor
Never got to see him perform. Had tickets for Merriwether BUT it was too late. I love how he loved music.
Oh my... this is absolutely extraordinary
Wow!!! He had a great voice
I love you Dave, please don’t ever go away. I love you so much I wish you was my dad. I love you. You make me smile every time please don’t go away
Thank you for posting this! You know the song is awesome when it sounds great with so many people playing it and it always sounds amazing.
Like the ghost....may The Queen live forever
I am so thankful to have seen this.
Nailed it! 👏👏👏
