I love how all the guys in the band keep looking back at Shane - to see if he's ok? to marvel? to give reassurance? I don't know, but you can tell they all care about him.
I didnt even notice that until I saw your comment. It's so true. Like they said, he is a part of the foo fighters family. And it seems obvious that they all look at him as a nephew.
Another comment I saw said, "played with the rage of a 16yr old kid who just lost his father." There's no other string of words that could sum that up any better.
It's crazy, I was watching a Taylor Hawkins interview where he was talking about Oliver (Shane) and he was saying how he couldn't play with any songs on the drums and he just plays a few beats. He said "he could be really good he just doesn't care that much about it". Looks like since his father has passed he has started to get a passion for it. I think that is just awesome.
@@anopoabednego6173 That's common I think for children to want to pave their own path. I did the same thing. My Late Grandpa had been racing Sprint Cars since before they existed, and my dad then raced them for 32 years, I grew up at the racetrack. So I wanted NOTHING to do with Sprint Car racing. And people were like, "I just don't understand how you could not pursue that opportunity to drive 1000hp cars." It's because I've been around it my whole life, and I was sick of it. Now I'm 28 and I have a little bit of regret that I never tried it, but I did race motocross for a lot of years, and now I'm a professional musician, so racing on the Weekends isn't really an option for me anyway, so I wrench on them now instead during the week. Sorry to hijack and make it about me lol, what I am trying to say is, I understand why Shane didn't want anything to do with the drums when he was younger. Probably still wouldn't if not for his father's untimely passing.
Not only has Dave Grohl lost two band mates and best friends now, his mom, whom he was extremely close to, died on August 17th. And he continues on, and has such a positive, kind demeanor. I really admire him.
I ain’t even gonna lie..I ugly cried watching Shane play THAT song. He beat the hell out of those drums. He played with so much emotion and rage for a 16 year old that just lost his daddy. He is literally his dads prodigy and did him proud. Dave and the other members were constantly watching him to make sure he was ok. You can see they were so proud of him. Shane was so brave to get up there and be the drummer his daddy knew he was!

This was really a concert to honour a lot of musicians who'd died in recent years. Rush was there, as was Queen, & Wolfgang Van Halen, among many others. Young Nandi Bushell was also part of the show, drumming her little heart out. They even had a picture of Olivia Newton-John on the drum kit.
What everyone witnessed should be remembered for years to come. A young boy, comes out and plays the drums with the rage of a boy who has lost his father. As devastating as it may be, the most important part is that it’s incredibly inspiring. The look of all the band members says it all.
I was lucky to be at the Wembley last Saturday. I have been to hundreds of concerts over the last 30 years and this one was the most memorable by far. And this moment was one of the many highlights of the evening. Shane killed it. I broke down the moment 90000 people started singing the chorus.
Mans is 16 year old. Lost his dad and steps in to play "my hero" and KILLS it! So much emotion on his face. This is one of those rare moments in music you sit back and take in.
That little pause and then Dave going, "He's nailed it, hasn't he?" actually made me choke up even more. He did nail it. What an amazing tribute to his dad, his hero.
I was crying and loving this so much. He's playing great like his dad. I'm amazed he made it through that without breaking down. He looks like he's about to any minute and that choked me up.
@@reginawood9749 I'm the mom of 4 boys and a girl. My husband died suddenly at 45 yrs old, then my own mom died just months later. Our 16 yr old struggled the most. This video always breaks me, as well as impressing me with what that kid accomplished. We were basically zombies in shock and grief the first year after my husband died. As an adult I can't imagine doing what Shane did just months after he died. Amazing young man.
my son and I (both of us drummers also) who are great fans of Foo Fighters watched this entire concert and cried ugly through most of it. Epic concert.. I highly recommend a full viewing.
Dad is legendary in one of the biggest bands in the world..and at 16 trying to justice while dealing with the loss..the kid killed it...so much respect
One thing I noticed, the other recent performances of this song before Taylor died, Dave would often sing the chorus an octave down, or not with as much intensity live (understandably, because it's really hard to sing, especially for 25 years), but in this performance he was really belting it out throughout the whole set. So cool.
To have ‘served up’ that song in the way that he did to honour his late Dad was INCREDIBLE!! Somebody tremendously proud was as watching over you! 🌈🤘🏼❤️💕
I’ve watched this performance SO many times and I cry every time. I can’t imagine what an amazing outlet for his grief that was for him. I just hope he could hear the crowd and how much love was in that place for his dad and for all of them!
It was at Wembly. I think they did one there because they have a huge fan base there. It was similar to the Freddie Mercury tribute concert. They had different drummers through the day that were either friends of Taylor’s or were inspirational to him. This was the next to last song. Dave broke down and cried a couple of times but it was also a celebration. Dave also lost his mom about 2 weeks ago. Dave chappel however you spell it lol met the Foo Fighters when he hosted snl and they were the music guest. Foo fighters were one of the first if not the first to have a live show and chappel performed the Song Creep. You could really tell that Taylor was very loved and respected by so many music legends.
that story Dave Chappelle told about meeting Shane when he was small and explaining why Shane didn't skate (he didn't want to injure his arms he wanted to be a drummer like dad) just broke me. So many feels.
Whatever direction that young man's life takes, this moment will be remembered forever as one of the greatest in rock history. Amazing performance under so much emotional stress - absolutely amazing job by Shane. We witnessed history in the making on this tribute show
I saw this as soon as it came out and it's just heartwarming (and heart wrenching) to see this kid play with so much passion and fire when he's still surely mourning the shocking loss of his dad. We know Dave Grohl is still mourning as well (how much loss does one man have to go through) but it's really great to see him on stage again celebrating his friend's life.
Shane played with some much emotion and hurt in his heart, he was smashing those drums , just like his Poppa ! That was amazing ! And kudos to Dave for holding it together after losing Taylor AND his Mom !
Shane...what can I say??...he rocked it for his dad..you could see it in his his face and every move...he even did the drumstick twirl...and Dave made sure he was ok...this is why I love my foo fighters fam y'all ..I know I'm not the only person who cried❤️❤️
The courage of that kid man .. after loosing his father .. performing in front of all those people where everyone is there to appreciate and mourn and love his dad .. ❤️
Love the look Pat Smear was giving him during his small solo at the end as well. Pretty sure that was Pat that gave him a hug backstage after the song. Pat's kind of like the lovable grandfather of the band.
I cry when I see this because I remember how it felt being 17 years old and my father having just died. I remember the rage, sadness, and in my case guilt, that I still carry with me til this day, almost 20 years later. It leaves its mark on you. I am glad he was able to beat his rage and grief into that drum set.
The way he beat those drums wasn't only "I'm playing for the Foo Fighters, I gotta perform", but "This is for you Dad" and... it's indescribable. The force I would've put into that, to remember my father.. there'd be no limit to how much I'd be concentrating to every single blow and timing. Just witnessing this makes me miss my father, who died of cancer 6 years ago... God what I wouldn't do to just talk with you one more time.... for just a few words... you *were* my hero :'(
Dave was looking at Shane feeling so proud and realizing how proud his father, Taylor, is at that moment. The band hadcto soldier on knowing Taylor would insist on playing music for healing.
I’ve watched a number of reactions to this performance, and you three captured it perfectly. You could see the healing in that young boys heart as he left his emotions all on the table. And the encouragement, support and care from each band member. Shane hopefully continues his relationships with these father figures. Such a beautiful moment captured on Shane’s face! ❤
Brilliant review fellas. Im more of a heavy metal guy but at 58 years of age that has got to be the most moving videos I've ever seen. Don't you just wonder if Shanes dad heard each and every drum beat. We all know the answer. While beaming with pride YOU DAMN RIGHT HE HEARD IT!!!. RIP Taylor
Dave played another song-- a slowed down version of Everlong--- after this one, and Dave broke down while singing the song. The crowd helped him out. It was very emotional. At the end, everyone who played came out and took a bow to honor Taylor. Dave was at the mic next to Shane and he kissed and hugged Shane. I do not think there was a dry eye in the house.
No, he broke down during the Times Like These, the first Foo song performed without Taylor, and in the spot, where Taylor, famously saved Dave... when Daves voice went out. Everlong was the last song... after about 8 songs, played, like how Dave usually plays it and he more than kept it together during it.
The show was a 6 hour tribute, it included a huge number of bands including Queen, Rush, James Gang, even Liam Gallagher to name a few. The show wrapped with the Foo Fighters doing somewhere between 1-2 hours with a rotation of Drummers.
To the moderators - please do your homework prior to having any type of conversation/review of either this performance or this band. The band is the Foo Fighters. This was a tribute concert to their late drummer Taylor Hawkins on September 3, 2022. The concert was held in London at Wembley Stadium. The drummer for this song is Shane Hawkins, the son of Taylor Hawkins. The least you could do is get the names right. Shane is 16 years old and has played drums, among other instruments, since he could pick up a pair of drum sticks. I would suggest that if anyone wants to make additional comments on Shane’s performance they do so on the actual You Tube video of the performance that’s also a fundraiser for two charities that the Hawkins family chose to honor Taylor.
That was cool. Taylor was a great guy and it's awesome to see Shane rocking like that. I think his dad would be so proud of him! RIP Taylor, and rock on Shane!! 🤘🤘
The UK holds a very special place in Dave Grohls heart and he considers the UK a 2nd home in many ways. The British fans embraced Nirvana before The US ever did. He planned a tribute gig in the UK and in LA later this month. Its really quite a lovely sentiment behind it.
If you look at him while playing, Shane looks like a little boy and a grown man at the same time while playing. Brilliant. And Dave…he was a drummer who lost a lead singer, and a lead singer who lost a drummer.
He plays like his father. Elbows flying, all out. I think he may end up being even better. Maybe he should just join the band. I've watched this at least 4 times and I tear up every single time. It's so perfect. Playing on his father's drums. I think he was channeling Taylor. 😓
Dam .. I bet a lot of tears were shed that night .. shit I’m trying to hold some back right now .. I’ve loved the Foo Fighters for so long .. and it’s heartbreaking to think of them going through misery.. fuck
when he misses the drums :( he beat those drums with the anguish and anger of a child that lost his dad :( seriously it truly was almost a religious experience

Funny seeing Dave with as much grey as I have and Shane looking so frigging young. BUT he absolutely killed it. The band is proud and I'm sure his dad is as well. Insanely good job!
what you said at 7:10 is exactly how it is. i’m the son of the bassist of band in Canada, nothing near the status that FF and Taylor has, but it was my dad’s job) i pretty much grew up on tour busses and backstage at shows. this sort of environment became my home away from home. you start feeling confortable pretty quickly. to this day, i’m still more comfortable getting on stage with my dad than talking in front of my zoom classes lol.
The kid did good, Taylor would be so proud if he saw this, the band gave him the chance to say goodbye to his dad in style, and if you watch he totally rocks the drums like his dad did, RIP Taylor
Shane has his own band and that band toured with his father's side project band. There is another concert to honor Taylor Hawkins in California (L A?) at the end of September.
I love how all the guys in the band keep looking back at Shane - to see if he's ok? to marvel? to give reassurance? I don't know, but you can tell they all care about him.
I didnt even notice that until I saw your comment. It's so true. Like they said, he is a part of the foo fighters family. And it seems obvious that they all look at him as a nephew.
@@goatitisful I actually thought they kept looking back thinking "is that Taylor back there or Shane?"
Probably to make sure they are in sync with beat breaks and stuff
At end Pat smear and Dave look at each other and it’s hard not to think that they were thinking “yup, he’s Taylor’s son for sure”
All of the above
This kid is an actual beast of a drummer. This was no gimmick, this is how a real drummer plays. Hard.
Agreed! Proper drummer, very talented 👊🏻
Another comment I saw said, "played with the rage of a 16yr old kid who just lost his father." There's no other string of words that could sum that up any better.

Dave Grohl’s mother did not die. Virginia Grohl is very much alive. Please quit with hurtful rumors.
@@cshepherd9803 pretty sure she did
@@cshepherd9803 dave's daughter violet confirmed it .
Look up to him as well.. Dave Grohl is an inspiration and this song/band is outstanding.
The boy kisses the snare drum just before his short solo at the end of the song - that is his dads touring set he is playing on - broke my heart!
I had a feeling this had to be his dad drum set or something. Since they had two sets up there.
Wow I didn't even notice that, I just thought he was exhausted lol. I had to go back and watch that part,
Taylor would be so proud of him
First time the band has played together since Taylor’s passing. First time the Kit has been set up. When he kisses it. It breaks my 💔
@@paulamoya7956 it’s not Taylor’s kit it’s daves - Taylor played a gretsch - this is Daves DW in memory of Taylor’s :)

When they say family, you know they mean it. They’ll make sure he’s taken care of and given that love he needs.

I've watched it a million times. Crazy talent. BEAUTIFUL CHILD. and....that hair to rock with. Shane, you are your dad's hero!
First time seeing this at all, brought me to tears. What a strong kid honestly and so talented like his father.
Seen this loads of times n still tear up everytime. The passion that comes through in this performance is unbelievable
To have ‘served up’ that song in the way that he did to honour his late Dad was INCREDIBLE!! Somebody tremendously proud was as watching over you! 🌈🤘🏼❤️💕

I’ve watched this performance SO many times and I cry every time. I can’t imagine what an amazing outlet for his grief that was for him. I just hope he could hear the crowd and how much love was in that place for his dad and for all of them!
A very emotional performance. That young man killed it! I know his mom and Dave Grohl had to have been proud. He’s going to be a great rock star!
His mom had her hands over her heart after this performance. She looked proud and a bit overwhelmed.
This will never not bring a tear to my eye. The passion and the power Shane plays with, like his dad is playing through him 🔥
Same .. kills me everytime and always will
the emotion he put into that performance is insane!
Phenomenal job by that young man, he plays all out just like his dad did.

the most passionate drum performance i've ever seen especially from a 16 year old!!! he really played for his dad.
I saw this as soon as it came out and it's just heartwarming (and heart wrenching) to see this kid play with so much passion and fire when he's still surely mourning the shocking loss of his dad. We know Dave Grohl is still mourning as well (how much loss does one man have to go through) but it's really great to see him on stage again celebrating his friend's life.

Shane played with some much emotion and hurt in his heart, he was smashing those drums , just like his Poppa ! That was amazing ! And kudos to Dave for holding it together after losing Taylor AND his Mom !
His father would have been proud. 💙 I saw this a week ago and my heart just broke. I lost my father young so my heart goes out to him.
Shane...what can I say??...he rocked it for his dad..you could see it in his his face and every move...he even did the drumstick twirl...and Dave made sure he was ok...this is why I love my foo fighters fam y'all ..I know I'm not the only person who cried❤️❤️
If giving it all you’ve got is a person, in this moment, it’s Shane Hawkins. He absolutely kills it! ❤️
He may have been in a huge auditorium, in front of thousands of fans, but there was only one person he was playing that song for, his dad.
The courage of that kid man .. after loosing his father .. performing in front of all those people where everyone is there to appreciate and mourn and love his dad .. ❤️
Love the look Pat Smear was giving him during his small solo at the end as well. Pretty sure that was Pat that gave him a hug backstage after the song. Pat's kind of like the lovable grandfather of the band.
Actually the backstage hug came from Roger Taylor of Queen

I was there for this! It was a full tribute show for Hawkins. This moment with Shane on the drums was one of my favourite moments from the show
Shane Hawkins. Remember the name. You'll definitely hear it again.
Literally watched this an hour ago. Incredible tribute by the young lad.
Absolutely shredded the skins! He was the heartbeat for the whole band. Forget Bonham, ginger, moon. There’s a new kid in town x
This was your best ever reaction gentleman.

This isn't true? He broke down during the first song which was "Times Like These"
No, he broke down during the Times Like These, the first Foo song performed without Taylor, and in the spot, where Taylor, famously saved Dave... when Daves voice went out. Everlong was the last song... after about 8 songs, played, like how Dave usually plays it and he more than kept it together during it.
Why do ppl bother commenting incorrect information? You clearly were not there
I think this moment made him legit rock star.
Kid played the hell out of this song, done his dad proud. Can’t get over how much he plays like him
The show was a 6 hour tribute, it included a huge number of bands including Queen, Rush, James Gang, even Liam Gallagher to name a few. The show wrapped with the Foo Fighters doing somewhere between 1-2 hours with a rotation of Drummers.
To the moderators - please do your homework prior to having any type of conversation/review of either this performance or this band. The band is the Foo Fighters. This was a tribute concert to their late drummer Taylor Hawkins on September 3, 2022. The concert was held in London at Wembley Stadium. The drummer for this song is Shane Hawkins, the son of Taylor Hawkins. The least you could do is get the names right. Shane is 16 years old and has played drums, among other instruments, since he could pick up a pair of drum sticks.
I would suggest that if anyone wants to make additional comments on Shane’s performance they do so on the actual You Tube video of the performance that’s also a fundraiser for two charities that the Hawkins family chose to honor Taylor.
That was cool. Taylor was a great guy and it's awesome to see Shane rocking like that. I think his dad would be so proud of him! RIP Taylor, and rock on Shane!! 🤘🤘
I love that Pat Smear gives him that big hug at the end.
Actually it was Roger Taylor from Queen
I get chills everytime I watch this. It's love.
always get me when shane kisses the drum kit near the end
The UK holds a very special place in Dave Grohls heart and he considers the UK a 2nd home in many ways. The British fans embraced Nirvana before The US ever did. He planned a tribute gig in the UK and in LA later this month. Its really quite a lovely sentiment behind it.
Exactly!!!
There was a positive British documentary on Nirvana!
If you look at him while playing, Shane looks like a little boy and a grown man at the same time while playing. Brilliant.
And Dave…he was a drummer who lost a lead singer, and a lead singer who lost a drummer.
He plays like his father. Elbows flying, all out. I think he may end up being even better. Maybe he should just join the band. I've watched this at least 4 times and I tear up every single time. It's so perfect. Playing on his father's drums. I think he was channeling Taylor. 😓
This version of this song gives it the energy and justice it deserves🤘
I'm not crying, you're crying.
And me. Yes, I'm crying as well.
How could you not??
And when I realized that he kissed the drum, I completely lost it.
I think this kid's really lucky to have Uncle Dave in his life.
Age dont matter when music speaks through you. At this moment everyone cried and no one was ashamed of it.
got chills and watery eyes watching this, brilliant
Wolfgang Van Halen also played his dad's parts on a couple of Van Halen songs at thst same concert. He was really good.
It really showed his love for his Father when he kissed the drums.
Dam .. I bet a lot of tears were shed that night .. shit I’m trying to hold some back right now .. I’ve loved the Foo Fighters for so long .. and it’s heartbreaking to think of them going through misery.. fuck
Yes Dave broke his leg in Gothenburg/Sweden, and I was there. Phenomenal gig! Broke the leg during the second song. 😀 Played the whole gig.
Can’t express how much I love this ❤️❤️
when he misses the drums :( he beat those drums with the anguish and anger of a child that lost his dad :( seriously it truly was almost a religious experience
Cried the whole song. What a beautiful touching video. ❤
Dave Grohl wasn't joking, he's hitting those cymbals HARD
What a hell of a way to send a tribute to a bandmate/father
Sadness, anger, just emotion. What you would expect from a 16 year old that just lost his father
Mike said it all, “Superb That”.
I love how you can see his dad's influence in his drumming but also Dave's as well. Brave kid!
Met Dave and Taylor who's a Fellow TEXAN 24 years ago. I treasure those photos.
Very emotional when Shane bends down and kisses the drum set. His dads set
This buy made history with this performing. This the most brilliant and emotive performance by a drummer.
I was there they arranged two shows one at Wembley 90000 and one to come at the forum LA 20000

Funny seeing Dave with as much grey as I have and Shane looking so frigging young. BUT he absolutely killed it. The band is proud and I'm sure his dad is as well. Insanely good job!
what you said at 7:10 is exactly how it is. i’m the son of the bassist of band in Canada, nothing near the status that FF and Taylor has, but it was my dad’s job) i pretty much grew up on tour busses and backstage at shows. this sort of environment became my home away from
home. you start feeling confortable pretty quickly. to this day, i’m still more comfortable getting on stage with my dad than talking in front of my zoom classes lol.
As soon as Dave says “he’s a member of our family” chills!!! Thats a heavy clip. Add to that the background of this song that Dave wrote!!
Not only was Taylor being honored but Dave lost his mom three weeks prior to this concert. She was a big supporter of the Foo Fighters
Huge internet rumor no proof.
@@RB-mk3se thanks! Sorry for the misinformation. I had read Dave’s daughter confirmed it
Made my eyes water. How proud would he be of his son. Amazing.
I was at this show and man this was the emotional show of my life
I was there that day and it was unreal. An amazing moment.
The kid did good, Taylor would be so proud if he saw this, the band gave him the chance to say goodbye to his dad in style, and if you watch he totally rocks the drums like his dad did, RIP Taylor
Shane has his own band and that band toured with his father's side project band. There is another concert to honor Taylor Hawkins in California (L A?) at the end of September.
