- Rog and Bryce were lucky enough to fly to Sydney to interview two of the biggest rockstars in the world, Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins, from one of the biggest rock bands in the world - Foo Fighters.
They talked about a range of things - Rog's deep voice and his unfathomably hairy forearms, to name a couple. But they also touched on a much more serious note, and something that is very real and very unsettling: depression and suicide.
Bryce asked the two rockstars to weigh in their thoughts on the tragic deaths of Chris Cornell and Chester Bennington, two much-loved musicians who took their own lives earlier this year. An emotional Grohl and Hawkins opened up and provided the most raw and most real conversation that we've been a part of.

Rest in peace Taylor, i cant imagine how much sadness and sorrow the death of Taylor has reignited in Dave’s heart and how much sadness it has brought to Taylors friends and family. How sad it must be to lose Kurt and Taylor. Legends never forgotten.
Literally, my same exact thoughts! 😪
He's finaIIy home. Where there is no rest day or night.
My thoughts exactly I felt his wheels turning. Rip Taylor. 😭
Im still trying wrap my head around Chris ,Chester and now Taylor it never gets easier to lose great artist . May they all Rest In Peace but some how I believe they are jamming out together.
Amen🙏🏼❤️
Man. Rest in Peace Taylor Hawkins. Wasn't ready for another great to go.

Recently Mark too
That's the downside to having so many friends :(
damn and I think Taylor was his best of friends at the moment
This interview is so much more eerie now…. RIP Taylor Hawkins
This probably brings Dave back to when he lost Kurt. You can tell it's hard for him to talk about this
He's known and lost a lot more people than Kurt. He cared about Chris. I wish people would stop obsessing about a few years in his life.
@@MarcoPolo1299 you probably have known Kurt personally and Dave as well.
And you probably respond from experience.
Yeah.....and santa is real.
@@MarcoPolo1299 you know Dave and knew Kurt personally do you?
@@eaterofspiders yep wrong call
@@MarcoPolo1299 dude, I guarantee that's not true, don't believe that type of nonsense. I'm sure he really wanted Cobain healthy
This is a hard day to see this, Taylor just passed away, but I was especially listening to what they had to say. Check on your friends, care about each other, and nobody is safe from depression and despair.
Amen!

How come mental healthcare is pretty much ignored and people only listen when celebrities speak out? Why not listen to ordinary people too? Famous or not famous...it can happen to anyone.
People listen to ordinary people as well. But no, with billions of people in the world few people are going to listen to what everyone has to say. Celebrities/artists have a reason to be heard as certain people value them as part of their lives as well as being accomplished.
It's not ignored. It's monetized heavily!
People don't ONLY listen when celebrities speak out. But if you have an opportunity to inherit an audience of fans of your art for you to speak about issues like this, I think it's more selfish if you say "Well, I have experienced this in my life. And I could speak to my fans and maybe even inspire one or more to seek help. But I am not going to do it because some douche on the internet has a problem with famous people speaking their minds." Only those that are certified, or are absolutely anonymous to society should speak? Do you know why most people don't listen to "ordinary" people?
For the same reason I don't take advice on raising a child from some stranger. Who are you for me to listen?
Because they don't have the platform
I guess you have to be a celebrity to have a good support system, I don't feel like I have a support system hopefully you guys find one.
As a Gen X it's agony watching these never to be replaced talents die at such a young age. Rest in Peace.
Can’t believe he’s gone. Absolutely heartbroken for Taylor’s family, loved ones and band mates.
I cried for months when Chris passed, then Chester. Now Taylor, it's too much
RIP Kurt, Layne, Andy, Chris, Scott, Chester, Taylor
You are missed ♥️🤘🎶💔☮️🎸😢
He could have been drugged by a hoe
And Mark! A month before Taylor passed away I cannot imagine how tough it has been for Dave!
That happened last year
Dave has lost a lot of people throughout his life. I really really hope these losses do not turn for the worst. Dave is such a mentally strong man.
He is you can definitely tell. A strong man yes it’s tough but I’m sure Dave doesn’t have those thoughts.
So has Pat Smear
Dave is such a sweet and Funny man! I don’t think he would hurt or kill himself.
Dave Grohl’s words about depression are SPOT ON. Most others cannot see this unseen disease. It hides, it dwells in the shadows and depths of despair. People tell you to “snap out of it” as if it were that simple a solution. “Get over it” is another go to people say.
Do they not realize that if was that simple, we’d all not be depressed? Do they not see the depths of our despair? The stigma that goes along with depression?
If only I could let a person in when I am spiraling out of control... When I’m overwhelmed by negativity and despair. Sometimes there is no trigger. Sometimes there is. But I’m judged by society either way with little compassion or comfort.
You do not know the throes of depression until you’re consumed. But, by the grace of God, I have a network who supports me when I’m in its grasp.
Quit judging. Just because Chris, Chester, and Kurt had fame and fortune, does NOT mean these men had peace.
Excellent description Kristina, if only it was that simple hey.
Its caused slot by idealizing people and things, the world. The unacceptance to accept things as they are
Well Kristina you're right about most of your points - please don't take this wrong. As a severely depressed person myself - I have learned - no one is JUDGING, because no one is really noticing the other person - they only care about themselves. So take that off the list of reasons for depression. I know the throes of depression; I know that if I don't care for myself, no one will, and if I don't do something for others (usually animals) I am done. By extending the caring you seek to another, an animal or person, you will get the caring you seek. But you have to force yourself out of yourself...and the stupid drugs aren't the solution.
I wish you healing. I hope strength is your friend. And a support system that gets you through the darkest times.
@@kristinemcgill6079 All I can add is that drugs aren't always simply "stupid", though they (like anything) can be used that way. But for many, they can be what opens those "doors of perception" and allows people to glimpse and incorporate thought patterns outside of their deep day-to-day darkness and consequent dysfunction.
Dave - ‘I think of their band mates’
We’re all thinking of you Dave
RIP Taylor, Foo Fighters won’t ever be the same♥️
Dave is so smart and eloquent. Taylor is to. Thanks for speaking out about depression and mental health issues. People need to get the support and help they need.
Lmfao. 🤦♂️
@@automatoncollectives7237 It is written 3 years ago btw
@@jenda810 I’m aware of that. It literally says “3 years ago”. Still.
@@automatoncollectives7237 shut the fuck up bro this person didn’t say anything bad. What they are saying is very true. Anybody could become depressed, let me tell you when you are it’s one of the worst feeling you can possibly have. It affects everything in your life, from how you feel mentally and physically to how you deal with life. You could lose everything you hold near and dear to your heart in a matter of seconds. Don’t take it for granted.
@@naturelover97731 I feel you man. My depression got so bad I was put on medication. Please go to the doctor and get help. I was one of those people who didn’t want to go to the doctor or be on antidepressants but let me tell you I feel like I’m 14 again. I have so much more energy, I’m more motivated, I before couldn’t get enough sleep I was sleeping 12+ hours a day and staying up all night, now I can’t sleep because I have so much more energy. I stayed eating clean and fasting now I’m on track to lose weight. It’s only been 6 days since I saw the doctor. I know what it’s like I have been in your shoes legitimately. I slipped 2 discs in my back and developed spinal stenosis and lost my brother who was like my mentor when it came to working out. He was a personal trainer and he helped me tremendously. I lost him and my ability to not be in pain. I was 16 walking with a cane. Then the landlord decided to sell our house. I’m telling you man go get help when you are ready. Don’t think about suicide, I have many times but so happy I didn’t. When you get help it’s the first day of your new life. You really do get a new lease on life. If you want to talk let me know.
Even when he’s in pain, Taylor was always smiling and looking like he’s having the time of his life. All too familiar, rest easy Brother 🕊🤟🏼🤘🏼♾
It seems that people that smile all the time end up dying early
This one just hurts, so fucking much. We lost a true hero today, Rest In Peace Taylor ❤️
This can't be real. RIP Taylor, you'll be truly missed.
My kids mom told me that Taylor Hawkins died when I was driving, I pulled over and cried a bit. I dont know why, he always seem like the most laidback, full on life dude ever. Also was one of the best drummers ever. Rest in Piece Taylor Hawkins. I love you man.
In a way I’m kind of glad that Kurt wasn’t mentioned because I can had a feeling it’d be brought up, and that’s not me saying his death didn’t matter, of course it matters, it’s just I can tell Dave is asked once every 2 interviews about Kurt
Wow never seen this before but you can tell Taylor struggled with depression and anxiety just by his reactions.
You can see it in his face big time that guy was suffering
agree 100%
We NEED more interviews like this.
pfffft
Just stumbled upon this after just hearing Taylor has passed away so i am just sitting here bawling my eyes out. so devastating all 3 of them gone far too soon
Listen to Scott Stapps "Gone to soon" song. I keep playing it. RIP Mr Taylor 💞
Goddamn man... It's absolutely heartbreaking to hear Dave talking about how the mos difficult part is to lose a friend... RIP Taylor Hawkins, prayers to his family and band friends.
I find myself looking at Taylor's expressions now on all these older interviews regarding others who have died, or his own close call in the 2000's...and what he was thinking while Dave was talking.
You could tell it brought back memories for Dave. I love Dave, he's comes across as such a nice guy. He knows what it's like to lose a friend and bandmate and this must be incredibly difficult for him to talk about it.💗
I still believe to this day that Chris Cornell's death pushed Chester over the edge. Why else would he kill himself on Chris' Birthday? Chester had been suffering with this horrid disease for a long time and I believe that Chris was one of the people close to him that probably helped him through it. I just hope they are both United somewhere and are at peace x
They both helped each other and Chester was not sad on the outside, he was funny, happy and joked around all the time. He genuinely loved his fans, his family, his friends. Chris Cornell was one of his best friends. I do not think either of them wanted to hurt anyone. In fact Chester would be the type of person to cheer someone else up who is depressed. I'll never forget him. He once cheered me up. It was reciprocal and to this day I miss him and cry 😢 He would not want anyone to give up, he still inspires me not to every day thinking about things he has said in his interviews, and when I listen to his music too like one more light. That's his message to us to all his fans. ❤💯❤ love to all who have been affected by these amazing people's deaths
And love to all who struggle with depression please don't give up 🤗
Do some homework. UA-cam channels: Higher Truth & Higher Truth II. Neither CC or CB killed themselves. It’s late people you MUST wake the f up.
"I still believe to this day that Chris Cornell's death pushed Chester over the edge."
Uh, yea! Chester even committed suicide on Chris's birthday.
@@NewTextDocument_txt The pain is too strong for him especially when he was the one sung on Chris' burial.
It's always been Dave and Taylor. Taylor and Dave. While my heart breaks family, it hurts even more for Dave. I just can't believe he's gone. 💔
Don't forget about Pat Smear
To not hear another Foo album or see them live again with Taylor Hawkins fills me up with sadness and is my selfish version of it, like he said in the video. I cannot fanthom what his friends and family are going through, it really sucks. Such a great loss for music, saw them live in 2017 and it was the best concert I ever went to, absolutely magical. And Taylor played a big part of it.
To Chris, to Chester, to Taylor, may you all rest in peace, you are greatly missed.
Rip Chester and Chris you legends 💔❤️🤘
god this so hard to watch - so very sad- I am still in shock from the loss of this wonderful man x
As someone dealing with a long time depression, I have to admit that in retrospect I can see some painfully relatable ominous signs and cues in Taylor in this interview.
There's a bunch of coping mechanisms for battling depression, and one that is very common - in my experience - is hiding your pain, and it's incredibly straining and draining. Also avoiding discussing topics related to depression is common, it triggers a defence mechanism and it is about detaching oneself just to keep it together.
If you really break down this interview, you can tell that Dave has a very open and I would say healthy response to these questions. There's no signs of avoiding and/or suppressing emotions, and he seems to speak kind of "freely" as in saying what he is feeling and thinking.
Taylor seems to be avoiding the topic of depression and death, and this is what I call a coping mechanism to detach oneself from the inner turmoil in self-protect. Also he's being very casual, yet I can tell that he is putting a lot of effort and energy in just keeping himself in "safe territory" and he tries to steer the conversation towards music itself.
Before anyone gets angry or offended, I'm saying what I'm saying only in the sake of depression awareness. As I mentioned, I myself am someone who is trying to cope with long time depression, and these are just observations how I feel and how I relate to seeing Taylor in this interview.
This has absolutely nothing to do with mocking, blaming, criticizing or judging Taylor. It's the very opposite, I'm trying to spread awareness about how individuals might deal with depression. It is super important to educate ourselves about depression, the stigma around mental health issues needs to be eradicated. I don't see how we could ever do that without speaking frankly, and it's especially important if it feels awkward, or when one concider it as something of a taboo.
DISCLAIMER: I do not know if Taylor ever was clinically depressed or if he had any other mental health issues. Also I do not know about the cause of his death, and I'm not implying anything at all in that matter.
I’m totally the opposite and like many maybe? I feel happy and positive all the time. Sadness is really rare for me to feel and I have experienced people being sad but because I’m so caught up on being happy or whatever that mood is, I cannot see it or understand it. Not saying it’s bad but I understand at this point that it’s real. I personally cannot see how they hide this pain but anyone feeling that, please reach out because sometimes your loved one can’t see it coming. Maybe you are able to see the signs if you’re in the similar situation.. but what about the ones who really want to help but can’t see it? I see Dave and I see that no matter the tragedies, it’s not one of his options. Like I’m able to see my own kind just like you can see Taylor’s side..
I’m also not mocking or making fun of this issue just my two cents.
Thank you for your posts: Kelvoton/Will M. Depression - if you have it at anytime in your life - is something you have to 'manage' for the rest of your life. Please believe that it can be put to one side for you to function day to day. I have to look after my child with clinical depression. She has not 'lived' yet. Really hard to encourage a young innocent soul - that life is going to be better. But that's what you do. Both of your posts are interesting and I hope others reply respectfully.
great comment....greetings from argentina... :(
I, as a "lifer", saw it too. Well written. Spot on.
Have had a life long struggle with depression....picked up the same feelings from watching and listening to Taylor and Dave in this interview. Thanks for putting it into words in such a clear respectful manner.
This plays very different now. Taylor Hawkins R.I.P. 😢
Rock star deaths, either by intention or accident, are unfortunately too common, and in many cases way too soon too young. R.I.P. Taylor Hawkins. Still hard to believe he left so soon. Millions of fans will remember you and how shocking it was to hear about your departure. Condolences to his wife, kids and friends.
Crazy to come back to these videos I watched years ago to see RIP Taylor in the comments. These guys were supposed to be around forever
I have been jamming since yesterday and catching all of the Foo's video's & interviews! The world lost not only a great drummer but an incredible man!
Cheers Taylor ~ WE will miss that infectious SMILE! RIP 💔thank you for your music!!!
Dave lost a lot of friends early.
It killed me when dave grohl said about losing a friend and who he thinks of . Rest in peace Taylor Hawkins 😞
It sucks so bad to lose a friend you love.
Look after yourselves and each other people.
I feel like Taylors urges are just eating him alive the whole time Dave was talking. How hes hugging himself for self comfort and that blank stare into the ground. Just sad man. Such a sweet guy.
I hope Taylor's at peace now.
The itch is always there man, you just try not to scratch.
Taylor had stage fright, which caused him anxiety. That is per his own words.
@@ladybuggs11 yes I read that too and stage performance anxiety big time ! I also read he had a runners heart ( enlarged )as per his doctor so let’s not jump to conclusions of a drug overdose or suicide. He also was in physical pain as he claimed so that explains the prescribed drugs found in his room as well as in toxicology imo. Look at the energy he put forth in every concert for YEARS . the body can only take so much. Still … no matter.. my heart aches for his family and for Dave and the band. I think it will be awhile if ever again before this band performs .
It really is far beyond the time that depression, mental illness & these very difficult personal struggles are taken seriously, it only ever seems to be talked about when it's too late. How many more people are we going to lose before something is done. So very, very sad.
Truth
So hard to listen to Taylor talk about someone not being here anymore. Such a musical loss. He was a human ray of sunshine.
Even now I have very bad feeling about Chester's death. I can't even imagine what the hell was this time for a band, friend, family. So sad about Dave Grohl and Pat Smear. They're lost someone twice:( I hope, they'll stand it. We love them so much❤
About Chester?
David Grohl said:
"Cause going through something
like suicide is a long road"
He was probably thinking about kurt cobain when he said that.
my assumption could be wrong though.
But in the foo fighters back and forth movie, he was crying when he talked about Kurt Cobain's suicide.
NYRAPPERFULL I don’t think your assumption is wrong at all; his experience of going through suicide was losing Kurt - so it’s most likely what he was thinking about when saying that line.
The irony of listening to Taylor talking about the sudden loss of loved ones. Still hard to believe he’s no longer around
0:46 You can see it in Taylor's eyes, depression is something that has plagued him a long time.
totally bro
Having a band called "Birds of Satan" will do that to you - and more! There's nothing funny about it, just darkness, God-hate and hopelessness.People need to live in the New Testament and the teachings of Jesus. Anything else is just messed up!
@@JLar-bb5hl people like you pushing your false narrative and sparky star man fix everything bullshit contribute just as much to depression and suicide as anything else. How many post abuse suicides as a result of the intervention of “religious” individuals are you happy to claim. Fuck you and fuck your Jesus that lets people rape children and babies
@@JLar-bb5hl this is such an overly simplistic explanation to a very complex problem
@@JLar-bb5hl prove your god is real
My heart is broken for Dave. A genuine man who is hurting. God Bless Taylor, Cornell, Bennington and all who have lost their lives to this viscious disease.
I pray those closest to Dave are loving him extra hard 😢💔
Fuck man. Watching this after the news of Taylor leaving us… I really hope Dave can get through this one. He’s gonna need some amazing people around him which no doubt he has. This Fuken sucks, what a ride these two had together 🔥 rest easy Taylor 🙏🏼
Dave and Taylor are very inspirational
I saw them playing live in Brisbane back in 2016(ish) and they were amazing to watch, especially Taylor on the drums
Music aside though, to hear them sit down and talk for real though, you can tell that they have experienced a lot and for them to tell this message on this video may have already helped quite a few people
This video is so haunting, I can’t even imagine how Dave must be feeling this very second with the loss of Taylor. This one hurts, makes me question everything .
Looking California, feeling Minnesota.
@@ImLOG4N Minnesota is a cold, isolated place. That's the picture people give it. California is a warm, open sunshine place. That's cali's picture
Logan Waite yeah that’s why everyone is flocking there for vacations
Oh yeah.
@eric 85 I've lived here my whole life and it's got it's problems. People are so self-involved and don't give a shit about anyone else. I can't say for sure, but I feel like it's not like that everywhere.
I love MN. 👍🏻
Watching this April 2022.. brings a whole new perspective to the subject. And just like you said about Chris Cornell, you will be sorely missed Taylor Hawkins and all the music that could have been. Thank you for existing for as long as you did ❤️❤️
Heartbreaking to watch this after Taylor's death, you can tell how hard it is for Dave to speak about the subject. Taylor was such an incredible drummer and I'll always cherish seeing him live, a brilliant guy with so much passion & enjoyment, he's such a great loss. I can't even begin to imagine what his family and Dave and the band are going through right now.
This hits even harder now that Taylor is gone 💔😢
Thank you for making mental health relevant...Taylor will be missed..so very much..Chester Bennington saved my life..and I feel this loss still so deeply because he was going through the same illness as myself..and I couldn't save him..I couldn't be there for his pain..am I ok?? No..never will be..it's just a part of my life I struggle with daily. The guilt is there. The " what if" stays with me. All I, and all of you struggling with mental health issues, can do is be the change. I am no longer a stigma..I am the change❤
My heart is breaking. It still hasn’t sunk in yet….I’m just honored I got to see the band live in 2011. Taylor IS the only drummer who’s so damn good that he could support Dave as a frontman.
I can’t imagine how extraordinarily agonizing this is for his wife, kids, band mates, friends, etc.
I know as of now (3/26 at 5:30pm NYC time, I nor anyone else, knows the cause of death, but people and me too are assuming a relapse OD or he took his own life- both equally horrible. I hate speculation and do not like to fuel it as it’s disrespectful- if Taylor took his own life would mean Pat lost his first vocalist Darby to, then Kurt (so they say), and if that’s what happened, now Taylor.
Regardless of the cause, the world lost an incredible musician and human.
(Sorry my drunken, ADHD-raddled brain made this so long-winded)
Rest easy, Taylor🙌🏼🕊👼🏻🥁🖤
The fact his youngest child is only 8 makes this more Sad
😭☮️🎵💔 too much loss
Taylor did not take his own life. He had an enlarged heart (which he knew about) and didn't stop drinking & using drugs, which can have fatal consequences. He didn't commit suicide. He had a heart attack.
It was in Bogota, right? And they said something like traces of 10 or 20 substances found in his urine. I'm sorry but I have no right to know the results, but I would believe Taylor's family would have US authorities complete more extensive tests. Some of the "substances" reported can be prescription meds. So a contraindication could have happened. Too many unknowns here. Let the family have peace and if they want answers, let them have them in private.
Will always love your energy and musical contribution to The Foo Fighters. RIP Taylor Hawkins and may God bless you. 💐✝️
Don't know what it's like if you don't have it especially if you have clinical depression, it's a hard to do anything, even though you have everything, sometimes you get so tired from the battle that suicide is the only way to stop the pain
This so eerie. RIP Taylor.
Grohl holding back tears......
It's still hurts for him
he is also a sellout remember that
@@takeiteasy2530 How so?
@@takeiteasy2530 what? That’s ridiculous.
@@takeiteasy2530 you better take it easy dude
This is so very relevant at anytime. As someone myself who has suffered with depression since my later teens. It becomes very easy to wear a mask and give the impression that everything is ok but your feel completely empty, lost, soulless. On hearing about Taylor’s passing, the first thing I thought to myself was that the band must be feeling destroyed. Then of course his own wife and children. I think as fans of any band you may feel inclined to think about the band mates first and foremost before family. But I think that’s only because you automatically relate the group as that’s your first focal point. But that in no way is intended as a disrespect to the immediate family. I personally just thought of the band, then of course Dave. Losing yet another close friend. Whatever the outcome of any autopsy into Taylor’s death. I hope that all concerned can find some sort of peace and comfort. Rest in peace Mr. Hawkins.
As someone who has has been thru physical abuse as a child ,was a full fledged practicing alcoholic by age 18 & a heroin addict for 6-7 years & have suffered from depression my whole adult life,I was able to keep it under wraps (not the booze though but that’s accepted) the whole time .So if I’m going thru all that & nobody knows I’d imagine almost anyone can keep it undetectable unless someone knows what to look for....I’m 50 years old & until recently I never heard anyone talk about mental health in a serious & productive manner 😞we still miss you Chris 🖤
Dave was already thinking of Taylor when he said this. You can tell it in how he articulated it, and you can tell in Taylor’s face… 🥺
This is a hard thing to watch now. The bond between these two is so obvious 💔 we like to think we 'know' these legendary musicians and I'm heartbroken Taylor has gone, but his family... (and I include FF in that), maaan his poor family 😓 must be in pieces. Your light shone bright Taylor.
So ironic... I’m reading Dave’s book right now “The Story Teller”. In it he talks about not only losing Kurt Corbain but also his best friend Jimmy who he called his twin brother and now this... My heart goes out to him. 🙏
It's this simple. People who feel soooo low just want it to STOP. it gets ALL consuming like chaos. And nothing else matters for that ONE moment. So at that millisecond you make a choice
Some things will never be understood unless those things have become reality. Don't just before learning the truth. I remember at a young age judging just the same for some that chose suicide,because i was hurt by the losses of the people that had made that choice.and the pain turned into anger because i didn't yet understand.those who choose scuicide "ARE NOT COWARDS,OR SELFISH!". they are simply lost and imprisoned in the worst and most tragic emotion that exists for so many. Later on in my life i had sadly realized this fact as i had suddenly understood by having to live with the same tragedy that is depression. I have a beautiful innocent loving daughter and other loving people that care for me in my life . unfortunately the pain, sorrow, sadness,sickness ect. are so severe that i couldnt see past it. Or even think of how it would effect and devastate my innocent daughter and many others in my life. The fact is that it hurt so tremendously that all i could do was immediately stop and end the nightmarish pain and sadness i was suddenly experiencing. If you were suddenly engulfed in flames, would you instantly do anything to stop the pain and put the flames out? Well thats how severe depression can be. and just as sudden as shockingly being set in flames u have no time to think u panic and what happens at that moment happens. That's the sad honest truth of how depression can be and is for so many. In the moment of the times i took my life i couldnt think of my daughter or any other.all i could do was instantly stop the pain, like putting a painful flame out from ones skin. Thankfully there were special people that had brought me back to life. I now constantly remember those dark times and think of my daughter and the effects that my death would inflict on her and others that care for me. I use those painful memories to care and think of those that i would have hurt and left behind by taking my life to prevent that tragic reality. Depression cant just be turned off and there is not always a magic pill to solve it. I hope this message reaches even 1 person that judged like i once did not understanding the truth behind the topic, and allow them to be part of a solution to help the suffering. instead of causing victims further insecurities, self esteem issues,and stigmas regarding depression..... Thank you to those who took the time to read this and i hope it helps to give anyone a bit more of an understanding or outlook to this issue. Too many suffer and feel the effects of tragic endings from depression. Every life matters. You are cared about even by strangers you haven't had the chance to meet. God bless everyone! 🕊💜✝

@@derekalen6703 Thank you so much for sharing your story- you are not alone.
Thank You 🤗
You don't wanna die. You want the pain to stop. You want the loop to stop. The rat in your brain. Turning your wheel. You want it to stop. And it won't. Unless u stop it. Unfortunately alot of us only see one way to do that. Fortunately, alot of us make it out also......
It's deep yo, ain't nothin to fuck with.
Cobain, Cornell, Bennington and now Taylor. RIP all of them.
Nice to hear a genuine answer to something nobody really wants to talk about. Rest In Peace Brothers. I believe there is Peace in the stillness of Death. The turbulence is in this world of constant change. Yet the journey is worth sticking out. I battle spirit crushing nihilistic depression yet in my darkest hole eventually I come to a moment in life where I’m so glad I stuck around to be here. Then it’s gone. These endless cycles can make a man’s heart wear thin. Stay strong Brothers & Sisters.
Thoughts with Dave and all those who have to feel thru yet another loss. Such a hard thing to comprehend. Hugs.
Chris was the best it was a total shock I still not over yet
2021 , im still in shock
Hits really hard right now. Beautiful angel! Rest In Peace! ❤️
I suffered severe depression for 10 years, Jesus Christ delivered me.
I hope that there's a place where people who kill themselves can feel how much they're missed. And if you're reading this and going through something simmilar to what is being discussed on the video, just know that someone somewhere loves you and can make you feel loved. You mean the world to someone else. And Taylor, thank you for everything. You've always made me smile even that we've never met. 💛
why is nobody talking about Taylor?He looks so... like "broken" too... when he just sits there and stares into nothing...
he almost lost his life. he didn't attempt to end it on purpose though he was probably thinking what could've been.
Seriously stfu
He seemed sick to me... Maybe a cold or something... He coughed at some points of the video and his face look terrible lol
If you had to sit there and be asked these highly personal questions by a couple of morning zoo characters who clearly don’t give two shits about you or your response (see my other comment), you’d probably be sitting there biting your lip or trying to transport to another time/place too.
Really do not think it’s appropriate to try to judge someone’s mental state based on a 3 minute internet clip. Especially considering what and who they are attempting to endure in said clip (while probably on tour, jet lagged, halfway across the world from home).
Judging someone's entire mental state because they dose off in interview. Come on man, I know you're probably a child but its harmful to assume things like this...
This is so hard to watch. 😭

You will always be remembered as legends.
Absolutely!!!
Heartbreaking! RIP Taylor.
If I could have one wish, it would be that folks that are hurting and depressed would see that going for help is a sign of strength. If you break your leg, you seek treatment. No stigma. No hassle. Brains break too. They deserve the same attention, love, respect, time, and effort of a damn leg!!!
Still in shock about Taylors passing, Foo Fighters have been one of my favorite bands since the 90's I just can't imagine what Dave is going through..
We've lost so many legends . Chris Cornell was one of my faves , but to lose Taylor just broke my heart!!
So unexpected, so sudden, so revered by all .. Can the Foo's recover from this tragic loss ??
Rock music lost a legend with Chris and now Taylor. Both such young gentlemen, talented beyond belief, loved by so many people and will never be forgotten .
Seeing him talk of this subject matter at this point just breaks my heart. RIP Taylor. The thought of never hearing you sing again guts me.
This really hits hard with Taylor. Absolutely heartbreaking.
"Got it all together" means one has to fulfill a whole lot of expectations for a whole lot of people ... expectations kill. People are not machines.
The older guy coming in at the end = literally the worst timing and sense of decorum ever. zero self awareness. Big goofy smile on his face as these two are pouring their hearts out while reminiscing about an inspiration who is now dead.
Don’t ask the question if you don’t have the time to hear the response or you don’t actually care what they have to say.
“Good luck with the rock 1000 - cuz you guys are killing it!” Derpity doop deep derp.
Their faces in response to his utter lack of sincerity were priceless though.
It must be so painful to have to hit these morning shows while touring.
Yeah, it's sad. These unknown interviewers have icons sitting in front of them and they act so careless. It's always weird to me to see interviews like this.
Its their interview not a fucking therapy session, nice comment dick head.
@@redblue4938 of course it isn't a therapy session but to ask someone that make them relive the feelings and emotions they have and then just going...bye ! Honestly these guys gave seld awareness.
Being a public figure and/or a role model, is a 24+ hour full time job. Its really stressful. And Stress is dangerous, I know. I am in no way comparing my own life to theirs. But for my own personal experience, working 11 - 16 hours every day... It give you stress, and it does lead to some bad mental and physical stuff, including stuff like social anxiety, depression, broken sleep patterns, and isolation...
The way this government slave system is ran is stress.
Fantastic points sir. This is an important comment because the more people understand what they are going through isn’t unique to just them, that they are not just batshit crazy, other people also feel super low at times or out of touch (or you name it) - it’s very helpful to know that you’re not alone. It can be extremely tough to see in the moments when you’re at your lowest - you feel like no one could possibly understand.
Also, I think it’s actually probably very accurate to say you’ve probably felt extremely similar feelings. This isn’t a popular opinion, people think it’s assumptive or egotistical or in poor taste to say that you could possibly know what someone else is going through (especially a big name rock star!). Our society would have us all believe that we are all these complete unique individual snowflakes (it’s much more conducive to division that way). Truth is that we are more like the snowstorm. Our experiences aren’t indentical but the human experience is more similar than most people will ever even begin to contemplate. If we could all realize this, it’s my belief that the wield would be a much better place.
Science has pretty much proven that stress is NOT dangerous, but, the belief that stress is dangerous IS dangerous.
Please watch this; you might live longer for it: ua-cam.com/video/RcGyVTAoXEU/v-deo.html
Pretty much every morning this week I've woken up and this death is on my mind. I feel like the world entered a dark place a couple of years ago and still light is hard to see. Rest in peace Taylor. Great drummer and dude by ALL accounts.
I like how Taylor talks into the mic at the same angle as when a mic is clipped on a drum set
a difficult question to ask and answer. thanks to all of you for doing it anyway and with grace.
RIP Taylor. You will be so missed. I feel so bad for Dave and the family and bandmates.
This one hurts. Real bad
I saw this interview a few days before Taylor passed and it may sound weird but I was thinking he was looking a little depressed and he made that statement about money as though it was his own personal experience….he lived it.
I'm watching this video for the first time, a few days after Taylor's death... it's hard to watch. I feel so sorry for Dave and I kind of feel like Taylor said, I'm so sad to think that Taylor isn't going to make another record, that there isn't going to be another drum solo. He will be missed! R.I.P Taylor 🌹
You can see it in Hawkins face! Hes like ive been their!
I AM BEYOND freaked the fuck out right now!
I watched this video for the first time last night and some others relating to depression cause I suffer from CRIPPLING DEPRESSION. This piece stuck with me throughout today and then just in the last half hour tonight, I found out Taylor Hawkins just died!
WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?!?!?!
So very sad 😢
Keep in your middle👍🏼
I feel like it's going to be awhile before we hear from Dave. I mean really hear from Dave. He'll give updates and blurbs in the press, but a real sit-down interview is going to be a long time. He's going to be in a world of hurt for quite some time.
My condolences to his family, friends and bandmates. RIP Taylor
Well said gentlemen. Depression is a disease and bless you for speaking about it so candidly.
