Super sad one. Guy always seemed like just a down to earth and nice guy. Super talented - drummer and vocalist to boot.

Every time something like this happens, there's the sad immediate thought, which I think is some human nature thing - "how did this happen? what killed him?" - and even when you get the answers, you really don't. Just not one you would see coming, he seemed clean, cool, collected, etc - but how can you know that from the outside looking in? Who knows.

But after thinking this over for a few hours - and driving to go get a pizza to There is Nothing Left to Lose, which I haven't listened to in forever - you just realize that somehow, SP has mainly escaped unscathed so far. But eventually, a post like this will be for a member of SP - which makes me all that much the more excited to see them in a month and a half on this upcoming tour.

No tour, no band member, no band is certain...

Ah, this fucking sucks.

I met him years ago (randomly in the street before a Foos gig) and he chatted away for a while. Super relaxed and upbeat guy. His poor family and friends. I think he had a wife and a few daughters.

Hmm. Is it part of the Axl Rose's Official Style Guide to never use and where there is an opportunity to use n' instead?

This song stood out last night on my listen - hadn't thought of it in forever, but it's a gem - and apparently a deep rarity live?

Fun video here:

For all I know that is indeed his thing, but fwiw, that message is the exact allowable character count for a tweet

Explains the lack of spaces between many of the sentences as well

Man just had a lot of feelings about his fellow musician being IN HELL

He could have just enough characters left to place the appropriate space between each sentence had he employed the dependable ampersand. But of course, all Axl Institution communications must be in line with the organizational identity.

True. It's part of the Netphoria style guide. Which is hard when it's somebody cool, ya know?

That said, I'd go with:

Taylor Hawkins playing tandem drums with Neil Peart IN HELL

Also, looks like this was indeed drugs. Brutal.

So years ago I met Taylor at a bar in LA called the Cat & Fiddle, which itself is no longer there. Super chill, funny, happy go lucky guy. Not that note of sadness that some former addicts carry, and not a crazy party guy either. Really outgoing and happy to talk with anyone. Listened to other people's stories. Brought people into his circle. Great guy. So sorry to see him go. Sorry for his family and band.

how would you know he wasn't a crazy party guy by meeting him only once at a bar years ago?

I really dislike Dave G. And his records all sound the same to me. Like he keeps making the same thing over and over. But I always liked Taylor. He sounded great live and had some stage presence for a drummer, especially when he came out from behind the drums. I've see FF a few times live (each time they were either on the bill with someone else or I got free tickets) and He was fun to watch/listen to.

I feel for people who love the band. This shit hurts when you have invested yourself into their music.
If this happened to Jimmy or even to Matt W. I'd be distraught. Billy.... meh.

You'd cry like a baby if Billy died. Don't be a disingenuous cunt.

As for Foo Fighters, yeah - most of their albums are fairly beige. After their third one I stopped caring all that much. Grohl has however been involved in some interesting diversions:

- Probot (the metal album)
- Hail Satin (the stupid disco album)
- Dream Widow (the new metal album which is fairly enjoyable)

Which you probably didn't bother with.

For all the shit we give him, we're still going to be taking the day off of work and flying our banner ads at half mast the day Corgan finally bites the dusty pete.

Perhaps, but no-one is going to be eulogising about how he was a super cool guy that got on with everyone.

If Billy died I’d jam Siamese Dream on my way into work and then move on. Corgan is already dead to me. Now if my boy Trent died then I’d be devastated

1. I used IN HELL for my Anne Rice death thread, and I fucking cherish her

2. I thought the heart thing was a metaphor. I didn't read the article.

one of the few dudes who could actually successfully take Dave's throne on the drums, & a big reason I've even given FF multiple chances throughout the years

immensely talented dude gone way too soon, RIP

1. I agree. Hell is for everyone.

2. This is why I'm afraid to stop hating Christmas. I don't want my heart to grow 2-3 sizes.

I just posted about how shitty it is when someone you like and respect dies like this. Did you even read past that one line in my post?

I doubt though that I'll cry when bill croaks. He's a sadistic asshole who shits on his band mates and fans and hasn't written a quality song in over a decade.
