Joe Nation Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 It's way too soon to start speculating. I just hope no-one gives them any grief, what ever decision they make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 From an interview I saw with Dave Grohl on TV it seems he just loves touring/playing, so whilst I could see the Foos as a studio only band in relation to putting out material I wouldn`t think he would be satisfied with that. But whatever happens it has to be what`s right for the the band, and no-one else, if they feel they can`t go on without Taylor then that has to be their call, similarly if they decide they have to keep going for him.

TrypF Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 A great drummer who, sadly, I never got to see live. I remember seeing their Glastonbury show on TV and he was wearing a Regent Sounds t-shirt - my favourite music shop in Denmark Street. Next time I was in there I mentioned it to a staffer who said Taylor always came in when he was in London, bought an acoustic to noodle on in the hotel room, and would then sign it and give it away to a fan. They also described him, like so many have, as the nicest, most unaffected 'star' who had ever been in the store. Their business had improved quite a bit after the Glasto show and yes, they were now always sold out of t-shirts. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincbt Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 They just announced two tribute concerts for him, one of which will be in London on the 3rd of September. It's bound to be a really emotional moment for the band and the fans... https://www.foofighters.com/news/taylor-hawkins-tribute-concerts/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maude Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 I don't mean to beach, especially over something as sad as this, but it would've been nice if they could've found a way to honour the ticket holders for the London gigs that were due in a few weeks. I can foresee tickets for these new gigs being rediculous money, especially by the legalised touts, as it will quite possibly/likely be the last time they'll play.

Didn’t they refund all those who had tickets for the planned UK shows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So not out of pocket or anything like that. Just be nice not to have try and buy tickets again as I reckon it will sell out fast, and then you have to turn to the overinflated, online touts. Maybe a priority system for folks who had ticket refunds from the other shows. Logistically, I imagine it would be a nightmare to do. A very minor, petty gripe I'll admit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s actually a really good idea, if you had a ticket for the planned shows that you could get priority for this show. I think the tickets will sell so fast, their normal shows sell out almost immediately, this even more so I would think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveXFR Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 I'd love to see Dave Grohl do some more of his smaller projects. Them Crooked Vultures and Probot were extremely good. I really like the albums he played for Killing Joke and QOTSA as well. Not sure what would come of the rest of the band. They're all good enough to get jobs in top level bands and rich enough to just retire and buy a fish farm. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincbt Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Just received an email to announce they will release a final batch of tickets for Wembley at 10am today. Too late for me to sort a trip to London, but for those who can / are interested, give it a try! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toneknob Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 (edited) Never thought I'd see Nate Wood on stage at Wembley Stadium in a holo-effect catsuit Quite enjoying the randomness of it so far!
