If the Foo's are going to keep going (and after seeing this amazing tribute, I think they will), Rufus is the most logical new drummer. Taylor was like an uncle to him - his mentor. It's perhaps a little too on the nose that he looks a ton like him, but there's no question that he plays with Taylor's energy and passion.
Yes I think Rufus is natural choice - but Rufus is drummer in The Darkness and I don’t think he’d leave them ( unless he does both ) . Think Foo fighters might have to alternate drummers
@@Drummerjeffkazee I love the Darkness and I love him in that band, but an opportunity to join the biggest active rock band in the world might be too good to pass up - especially as a way to honor his mentor. I also feel like Dave gave Justin Hawkins so much airtime at these events as a "sorry I might steal your drummer" gesture.
Thankful to see this array of talent. Whoever is chosen to pick up the sticks will honour Taylor’s legend and elevate the Foo’s further. Bless all the family, band and Foo family👍
Rufus Taylor always talked wonders regarding Taylor Hawkins; I'm sure Rufus was outright cosplaying him. Between clothes and haircut, that's not a coincidence
love Rufus. Dave was more comfortable with him. He did him like he used to do Taylor. Get right in his face. Loved it. Saw a bit of a spark in his eyes.
Oh shite for a moment or 3 thought I was seeing things as yeah, Rufus looks so much in the distance like Taylor playing those drums. Actually thought my eyes or my brains was playing tricks on the other. Maybe lack of sleep, I found the comments then of course Rufus, but WoW. Having grown up with the earlier 🎶 of Queen now Rufus playing drums. Well time doesn't stay still for anyone. This concert was amazing to hear, even if I couldn't be there in person ❤. Just great to hear and see the guys up there playing. That incredible sound of the Foo Fighters 👌
No one can replace Taylor; however, if the Foos continue, the only logical choice would be Rufus. Dave has a connection with him and Taylor would approve, I believe. Nandi and Shane are too young to the grooling work that is needed. This is just so hard....love you Taylor. Besides the family and millions of fans, Dave and the rest of the Foos, my heart is just broken for you all.
I think the best thing to take from this is listen to the crowd and listen how you can sway mine even myself from watching this video sung out with the crowd
Shane Hawkins got the spotlight that night because holy fuck he was beyond godlike. But let us not forget the incredible display Mr. Rufus Taylor gave us here. Thank you, Rufus. I'm sure your dad was giggling the entire song
It's safe to say the people have spoken. Rufus is the best guy for the job as it is right now. Shane and Nandi are too young to handle being in a band that big.
@@mialia15104 I agree with you but Dave ever looking later in life 🤷♂️. Every child should have thier own time to develop…maybe she hires Dave when he’s 60 and her own band 🤷♂️😂
@@YeahImAnthony shane 1000% I cried when he played hero with them at the end he carries the exact same manorisms as Taylor and he POUNDS THE SKINS! Whoever they have play should always be a guest in my opinion taylor is just sitting out while the guy's finish up here on our plane of consciousness. Stay blessed 🙌🏾 Taylor Hawkins for ever 🙏🏽
@@vermithor51ac I’m not a drummer but I do look up to a lot of drummers but Rufus sounded and looked like a typical drummer playing with the foos that’s just my opinion tho
I guess this is the record label's way of ushering in the new drummer you know so they can keep make money at the same songs I mean good god dude you know how sleazy that is it's just so sleazy it's not even funny.....
How the fuck are you supposed to do a tribute concert to a drummer without having, y'know… drummers? And there are a lot of drummers who were friends with Hawkins, it's only natural that they'd all want to have a go sitting in with the band.
#IVoteForRufus
Once Dave turned around with that same spirited “I could just kiss you, man!” Taylor-jam, to me its obvious: “auditions” over.
Rufus nailed it perfectly, reminds so much Taylor and the fact Taylor was he's idol.. Rufus Taylor is the guy.
Taylor's drumming inspired Taylor to become a drummer. Then Taylor's own drumming inspired Taylor to become a drumming himself.
Rufus is also Taylor's godson...
Roof killed it!! Resembles Taylor so much its unreal.
This concert will be in my heart for the rest of my life.
heart
Fireplace?
Beautifully put.👍
What an amazing version of Best of You! Sooooo good. Rufas killed it, so did the Audience.
When I close my eyes during this song, I so totally hear Taylor. Rufus just fits & has that “Foo Feel!” Incredible!

the hair on my arm stood up when he started playing....great fit!

Rufus won't leave the Darkness

Taylor was Rufus’s Godfather….and Chad Smith’s (RHCP) son, Bennett’s, Godfather too
Halfway through the video it just became a jam sesh with the boys in honor of Taylor by the looks of it 🥺💙
no they always played it like that

Rufus puts out a great vibe
Rufus is the perfect replacement for THawk - even looks like him - WOW!
I can't stop crying. It hurt so bad watching them without Taylor 💔😭
His son is awesome
Plays as good as his dad.
Taylor is hard to replace! Very unique style and energy. One of the best ever. If not THE best!
I really honed in on Nate & Rufus this time!
HISTORY! HOME RUN! SCORE! Nice & Tight!
Nate’s Great!!! PLAY FOREVER! 💖😎✌️🎶🎸🎊🎉💥
Maybe it's my heart talking rather than my mind, but for a brief moment, I could have sworn that was Taylor up there.
Rufus Taylor always talked wonders regarding Taylor Hawkins; I'm sure Rufus was outright cosplaying him. Between clothes and haircut, that's not a coincidence
Goosebumps
Rufus🤘🏻

Emotional. 🥲😢🥺💔🙌🏻

Ru nailed the “audition” ! Really hope he’ll be the new drummer for the Foos.
I have a feeling that Rufus eventualy will join them... I would love this ♥️
You had an awesome spot! Thank you for posting this!
Dropped lucky TBH. Thanks for commenting.
Wow. That was just incredible.

Rufus is pure heavy metal like his father in the early Queen albums!
So this is Roger Taylor’s son. Impressive.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
hollllllyyyy shhhiitt

@@pbaker7160 he seems like a permanent fill in drummer. Like he bounces around alot. He goes where he is needed lol
@@pbaker7160 it seems like these concerts are kind of try outs in a way.
my words! Rufus is the guy!
He won't leave the Darkness
@@Drummerjeffkazee he will, when Dave calls
They really need to pick up Rufus as the new drummer. They totally clicked here.
What about Nandi? She’s still a kid but a badass with an old rockers soul
@@blaketrzpuc9231 yea definitely not, she needs to have a childhood, not be in a huge rockband
@@mialia15104 I agree with you but Dave ever looking later in life 🤷♂️. Every child should have thier own time to develop…maybe she hires Dave when he’s 60 and her own band 🤷♂️😂
Shane..

😭❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
One thing you definitely notice is the lack of Taylor's background vocals like A7X without the Rev.
True, rev&Taylor are same, high-note backing vocals taker. They'll be missed forever 😭
I have a feeling we won’t be seeing the FF for a long while after these tribute shows are over.
LOL The way Dave loves raking in money they'll be back non-stop in no time. Dave don't care who he rolls over while making a buck!
Whose the drummer?
Rufus Taylor - son of Roger Taylor (legendary drummer for Queen). He toured with Queen for a few years. He is in the band The Darkness.
Nomen est omen.
Rufus did a good job but idk he just doesn’t bring that power energy, now Shane he had that energy
@@vermithor51ac probably not but maybe in a year or 2 he will be able to

they could have stuffed Taylor and dragged him around the world making billions $$$
Knowing how much Dave loves cash grabs, he probably will,
Ma dai,cosa ti salta in mente!
Who drums play?
