On the other hand he WAS a drummer after all. What's the normal life expectancy? Thirty?

Years ago I used to look at photos of a band (not playing) and try to guess which one was the drummer. He was usually the goofiest looking one of the bunch or dressed even more weird than the others. I'd get it right about 75% of the time.

Heart attack at 50? Grohl is a liberal vaxxer & demanded the band, fans etc..be fully vaccinated/boosted..
Then again, he was in Columbia.
If the jab, we’ll never know.

I’ve heard the name once, but know zero about them.

My favorite Foo Fighters concert video. Beware of Grohl’s limited vocabulary supported by the F’word.

Kiss Guy.

IMO Foo Fighters are the last rock band around.

Check out Greta van Fleet. They're all in their 20s.

They remind me of Triumph in their 1970s heyday.

Great drummer.

Indeed. I wasn't a big fan of the Foo Fighters "back in the day" having liked perhaps a handful of their songs then. Their new music however just made me go back and rediscover their entire library. I missed SO MUCH back then.

RIP Taylor Hawkins.

Initially I liked them, then realized who they're trying to copy and that makes them a flash in the pan.

They remind me of Triumph in their 1970s heyday.

Not sure how they remind you of Triumph since Greta van Fleet is trying to mimic Led Zeppelin...

I will say that drumming is quite physically demanding and similar to playing soccer in some ways. Long minutes of exercise without rest. For what it’s worth…

Everyone is a tortured soul now. All the cool kids have crippling anxiety.

With what "the powers that be" and "the great reset" have done to this world which is now pushing us to the brink of World War III, it's kind of hard to NOT have crippling anxiety these days.

Especially for the cool kids who've had everything handed to them on a silver platter and have never really had to deal with a crisis (especially a man made one) or adversity at all their entire lives because of their helicopter parents who insisted everyone gets a participation trophy.

Of course they have crippling anxiety. Snowflakes.

“Heart attack at 50?”

My best friend died of a heart attack at age 44. My first thought was to blame the Covid vax. Then I remembered that he died twenty years ago. Silly me. My point is that sometimes a circle is just a circle and a square is just a square.

FYI: The second leading cause of death in the 45 - 54 age group is heart disease:

Which seems to activate the clots. If you have had the vax it is not a good idea to max your heart rate.

Yes, could have nothing to do with vaxx or drugs.
But if he did have undetected heart disease, the jab might’ve accelerated the inevitable..
Drumming is hard work & if heart issues, not a good combo.
They said he was complaining about chest pains..

If not for the Covid Vaxx, maybe he would not have overdosed on heroin, coke, or other drugs he may have consumed. /s

Talented drummer. Great live performer. I am sorry to see him gone at such a young age (I am older). I am going to be playing a lot more Foo Fighters for awhile.

Drugs.
They made all their fans be jabbed during their concerts the last year or so, so they wouldn’t die, you know...

WXRT here in the Chicago market (and on Audacy.com) has been dedicating chunks of every hour to Foo Fighters since announcing Taylor Hawkins passing.

"Waiting on a War" and "Love Dies Young" played in the 12p CST hour just made me stop what I was doing and collect myself.

Just damn'.
