- Rog and Bryce were lucky enough to fly to Sydney to interview two of the biggest rockstars in the world, Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins, from one of the biggest rock bands in the world - Foo Fighters.
They talked about a range of things - Rog's deep voice and his unfathomably hairy forearms, to name a couple. But they also touched on a much more serious note, and something that is very real and very unsettling: depression and suicide.
Bryce asked the two rockstars to weigh in their thoughts on the tragic deaths of Chris Cornell and Chester Bennington, two much-loved musicians who took their own lives earlier this year. An emotional Grohl and Hawkins opened up and provided the most raw and most real conversation that we've been a part of.
Take the time to watch and listen to the video above, and remember to keep checking in on your mates to see if they're doing ok.

1:06 'the hardest part is when you lose a friend'.......Oh god, that hit extra hard today. RIP Taylor.

How come mental healthcare is pretty much ignored and people only listen when celebrities speak out? Why not listen to ordinary people too? Famous or not famous...it can happen to anyone.
People listen to ordinary people as well. But no, with billions of people in the world few people are going to listen to what everyone has to say. Celebrities/artists have a reason to be heard as certain people value them as part of their lives as well as being accomplished.
It's not ignored. It's monetized heavily!
People don't ONLY listen when celebrities speak out. But if you have an opportunity to inherit an audience of fans of your art for you to speak about issues like this, I think it's more selfish if you say "Well, I have experienced this in my life. And I could speak to my fans and maybe even inspire one or more to seek help. But I am not going to do it because some douche on the internet has a problem with famous people speaking their minds." Only those that are certified, or are absolutely anonymous to society should speak? Do you know why most people don't listen to "ordinary" people?
For the same reason I don't take advice on raising a child from some stranger. Who are you for me to listen?
Because they don't have the platform
I guess you have to be a celebrity to have a good support system, I don't feel like I have a support system hopefully you guys find one.
Dave Grohl’s words about depression are SPOT ON. Most others cannot see this unseen disease. It hides, it dwells in the shadows and depths of despair. People tell you to “snap out of it” as if it were that simple a solution. “Get over it” is another go to people say.
Do they not realize that if was that simple, we’d all not be depressed? Do they not see the depths of our despair? The stigma that goes along with depression?
If only I could let a person in when I am spiraling out of control... When I’m overwhelmed by negativity and despair. Sometimes there is no trigger. Sometimes there is. But I’m judged by society either way with little compassion or comfort.
You do not know the throes of depression until you’re consumed. But, by the grace of God, I have a network who supports me when I’m in its grasp.
Quit judging. Just because Chris, Chester, and Kurt had fame and fortune, does NOT mean these men had peace.
Excellent description Kristina, if only it was that simple hey.
Its caused slot by idealizing people and things, the world. The unacceptance to accept things as they are
Well Kristina you're right about most of your points - please don't take this wrong. As a severely depressed person myself - I have learned - no one is JUDGING, because no one is really noticing the other person - they only care about themselves. So take that off the list of reasons for depression. I know the throes of depression; I know that if I don't care for myself, no one will, and if I don't do something for others (usually animals) I am done. By extending the caring you seek to another, an animal or person, you will get the caring you seek. But you have to force yourself out of yourself...and the stupid drugs aren't the solution.
I wish you healing. I hope strength is your friend. And a support system that gets you through the darkest times.
@@kristinemcgill6079 All I can add is that drugs aren't always simply "stupid", though they (like anything) can be used that way. But for many, they can be what opens those "doors of perception" and allows people to glimpse and incorporate thought patterns outside of their deep day-to-day darkness and consequent dysfunction.
This is a hard day to see this, Taylor just passed away, but I was especially listening to what they had to say. Check on your friends, care about each other, and nobody is safe from depression and despair.
Amen!

Nobody is safe from it, truer words never spoken.
Sending love out there today to anybody in the the way to struggle town.
Been there still there, keep swimming. xx
This can't be real. RIP Taylor, you'll be truly missed.
This one just hurts, so fucking much. We lost a true hero today, Rest In Peace Taylor ❤️
In a way I’m kind of glad that Kurt wasn’t mentioned because I can had a feeling it’d be brought up, and that’s not me saying his death didn’t matter, of course it matters, it’s just I can tell Dave is asked once every 2 interviews about Kurt
Dave - ‘I think of their band mates’
We’re all thinking of you Dave
RIP Taylor, Foo Fighters won’t ever be the same♥️
Just stumbled upon this after just hearing Taylor has passed away so i am just sitting here bawling my eyes out. so devastating all 3 of them gone far too soon
Listen to Scott Stapps "Gone to soon" song. I keep playing it. RIP Mr Taylor 💞
David Grohl said:
"Cause going through something
like suicide is a long road"
He was probably thinking about kurt cobain when he said that.
my assumption could be wrong though.
But in the foo fighters back and forth movie, he was crying when he talked about Kurt Cobain's suicide.
NYRAPPERFULL I don’t think your assumption is wrong at all; his experience of going through suicide was losing Kurt - so it’s most likely what he was thinking about when saying that line.
0:46 You can see it in Taylor's eyes, depression is something that has plagued him a long time.
totally bro
Having a band called "Birds of Satan" will do that to you - and more! There's nothing funny about it, just darkness, God-hate and hopelessness.People need to live in the New Testament and the teachings of Jesus. Anything else is just messed up!
@@JLar-bb5hl people like you pushing your false narrative and sparky star man fix everything bullshit contribute just as much to depression and suicide as anything else. How many post abuse suicides as a result of the intervention of “religious” individuals are you happy to claim. Fuck you and fuck your Jesus that lets people rape children and babies
@@JLar-bb5hl this is such an overly simplistic explanation to a very complex problem
@@JLar-bb5hl prove your god is real
god this so hard to watch - so very sad- I am still in shock from the loss of this wonderful man x
It killed me when dave grohl said about losing a friend and who he thinks of . Rest in peace Taylor Hawkins 😞
Rock star deaths, either by intention or accident, are unfortunately too common, and in many cases way too soon too young. R.I.P. Taylor Hawkins. Still hard to believe he left so soon. Millions of fans will remember you and how shocking it was to hear about your departure. Condolences to his wife, kids and friends.
I have been jamming since yesterday and catching all of the Foo's video's & interviews! The world lost not only a great drummer but an incredible man!
Cheers Taylor ~ WE will miss that infectious SMILE! RIP 💔thank you for your music!!!
It really is far beyond the time that depression, mental illness & these very difficult personal struggles are taken seriously, it only ever seems to be talked about when it's too late. How many more people are we going to lose before something is done. So very, very sad.
Truth
Even now I have very bad feeling about Chester's death. I can't even imagine what the hell was this time for a band, friend, family. So sad about Dave Grohl and Pat Smear. They're lost someone twice:( I hope, they'll stand it. We love them so much❤
About Chester?
This plays very different now. Taylor Hawkins R.I.P. 😢
It's this simple. People who feel soooo low just want it to STOP. it gets ALL consuming like chaos. And nothing else matters for that ONE moment. So at that millisecond you make a choice
Some things will never be understood unless those things have become reality. Don't just before learning the truth. I remember at a young age judging just the same for some that chose suicide,because i was hurt by the losses of the people that had made that choice.and the pain turned into anger because i didn't yet understand.those who choose scuicide "ARE NOT COWARDS,OR SELFISH!". they are simply lost and imprisoned in the worst and most tragic emotion that exists for so many. Later on in my life i had sadly realized this fact as i had suddenly understood by having to live with the same tragedy that is depression. I have a beautiful innocent loving daughter and other loving people that care for me in my life . unfortunately the pain, sorrow, sadness,sickness ect. are so severe that i couldnt see past it. Or even think of how it would effect and devastate my innocent daughter and many others in my life. The fact is that it hurt so tremendously that all i could do was immediately stop and end the nightmarish pain and sadness i was suddenly experiencing. If you were suddenly engulfed in flames, would you instantly do anything to stop the pain and put the flames out? Well thats how severe depression can be. and just as sudden as shockingly being set in flames u have no time to think u panic and what happens at that moment happens. That's the sad honest truth of how depression can be and is for so many. In the moment of the times i took my life i couldnt think of my daughter or any other.all i could do was instantly stop the pain, like putting a painful flame out from ones skin. Thankfully there were special people that had brought me back to life. I now constantly remember those dark times and think of my daughter and the effects that my death would inflict on her and others that care for me. I use those painful memories to care and think of those that i would have hurt and left behind by taking my life to prevent that tragic reality. Depression cant just be turned off and there is not always a magic pill to solve it. I hope this message reaches even 1 person that judged like i once did not understanding the truth behind the topic, and allow them to be part of a solution to help the suffering. instead of causing victims further insecurities, self esteem issues,and stigmas regarding depression..... Thank you to those who took the time to read this and i hope it helps to give anyone a bit more of an understanding or outlook to this issue. Too many suffer and feel the effects of tragic endings from depression. Every life matters. You are cared about even by strangers you haven't had the chance to meet. God bless everyone! 🕊💜✝
🎵 “and nothing else matters... 🎵
Oops, wrong band!
@@derekalen6703 Thank you so much for sharing your story- you are not alone.
Thank You 🤗
You don't wanna die. You want the pain to stop. You want the loop to stop. The rat in your brain. Turning your wheel. You want it to stop. And it won't. Unless u stop it. Unfortunately alot of us only see one way to do that. Fortunately, alot of us make it out also......
It's deep yo, ain't nothin to fuck with.
My heart is breaking. It still hasn’t sunk in yet….I’m just honored I got to see the band live in 2011. Taylor IS the only drummer who’s so damn good that he could support Dave as a frontman.
I can’t imagine how extraordinarily agonizing this is for his wife, kids, band mates, friends, etc.
I know as of now (3/26 at 5:30pm NYC time, I nor anyone else, knows the cause of death, but people and me too are assuming a relapse OD or he took his own life- both equally horrible. I hate speculation and do not like to fuel it as it’s disrespectful- if Taylor took his own life would mean Pat lost his first vocalist Darby to, then Kurt (so they say), and if that’s what happened, now Taylor.
Regardless of the cause, the world lost an incredible musician and human.
(Sorry my drunken, ADHD-raddled brain made this so long-winded)
Rest easy, Taylor🙌🏼🕊👼🏻🥁🖤
The fact his youngest child is only 8 makes this more Sad
😭☮️🎵💔 too much loss
Taylor did not take his own life. He had an enlarged heart (which he knew about) and didn't stop drinking & using drugs, which can have fatal consequences. He didn't commit suicide. He had a heart attack.
It was in Bogota, right? And they said something like traces of 10 or 20 substances found in his urine. I'm sorry but I have no right to know the results, but I would believe Taylor's family would have US authorities complete more extensive tests. Some of the "substances" reported can be prescription meds. So a contraindication could have happened. Too many unknowns here. Let the family have peace and if they want answers, let them have them in private.
The older guy coming in at the end = literally the worst timing and sense of decorum ever. zero self awareness. Big goofy smile on his face as these two are pouring their hearts out while reminiscing about an inspiration who is now dead.
Don’t ask the question if you don’t have the time to hear the response or you don’t actually care what they have to say.
“Good luck with the rock 1000 - cuz you guys are killing it!” Derpity doop deep derp.
Their faces in response to his utter lack of sincerity were priceless though.
It must be so painful to have to hit these morning shows while touring.
Yeah, it's sad. These unknown interviewers have icons sitting in front of them and they act so careless. It's always weird to me to see interviews like this.
Its their interview not a fucking therapy session, nice comment dick head.
@@redblue4938 of course it isn't a therapy session but to ask someone that make them relive the feelings and emotions they have and then just going...bye ! Honestly these guys gave seld awareness.
Don't know what it's like if you don't have it especially if you have clinical depression, it's a hard to do anything, even though you have everything, sometimes you get so tired from the battle that suicide is the only way to stop the pain
why is nobody talking about Taylor?He looks so... like "broken" too... when he just sits there and stares into nothing...
he almost lost his life. he didn't attempt to end it on purpose though he was probably thinking what could've been.
Seriously stfu
He seemed sick to me... Maybe a cold or something... He coughed at some points of the video and his face look terrible lol
If you had to sit there and be asked these highly personal questions by a couple of morning zoo characters who clearly don’t give two shits about you or your response (see my other comment), you’d probably be sitting there biting your lip or trying to transport to another time/place too.
Really do not think it’s appropriate to try to judge someone’s mental state based on a 3 minute internet clip. Especially considering what and who they are attempting to endure in said clip (while probably on tour, jet lagged, halfway across the world from home).
Judging someone's entire mental state because they dose off in interview. Come on man, I know you're probably a child but its harmful to assume things like this...
This video is so haunting, I can’t even imagine how Dave must be feeling this very second with the loss of Taylor. This one hurts, makes me question everything .
Heartbreaking to watch this after Taylor's death, you can tell how hard it is for Dave to speak about the subject. Taylor was such an incredible drummer and I'll always cherish seeing him live, a brilliant guy with so much passion & enjoyment, he's such a great loss. I can't even begin to imagine what his family and Dave and the band are going through right now.
Fuck man. Watching this after the news of Taylor leaving us… I really hope Dave can get through this one. He’s gonna need some amazing people around him which no doubt he has. This Fuken sucks, what a ride these two had together 🔥 rest easy Taylor 🙏🏼
As someone who has has been thru physical abuse as a child ,was a full fledged practicing alcoholic by age 18 & a heroin addict for 6-7 years & have suffered from depression my whole adult life,I was able to keep it under wraps (not the booze though but that’s accepted) the whole time .So if I’m going thru all that & nobody knows I’d imagine almost anyone can keep it undetectable unless someone knows what to look for....I’m 50 years old & until recently I never heard anyone talk about mental health in a serious & productive manner 😞we still miss you Chris 🖤
This hits even harder now that Taylor is gone 💔😢
The fact that Taylor is no longer with us hurts my heart
Will always love your energy and musical contribution to The Foo Fighters. RIP Taylor Hawkins and may God bless you. 💐✝️
RIP Taylor. Depression is a b@tch. No one is safe.
If I could have one wish, it would be that folks that are hurting and depressed would see that going for help is a sign of strength. If you break your leg, you seek treatment. No stigma. No hassle. Brains break too. They deserve the same attention, love, respect, time, and effort of a damn leg!!!
Cobain, Cornell, Bennington and now Taylor. RIP all of them.
This so eerie. RIP Taylor.
Rock music lost a legend with Chris and now Taylor. Both such young gentlemen, talented beyond belief, loved by so many people and will never be forgotten .
Hits really hard right now. Beautiful angel! Rest In Peace! ❤️
Heartbreaking! RIP Taylor.
I AM BEYOND freaked the fuck out right now!
I watched this video for the first time last night and some others relating to depression cause I suffer from CRIPPLING DEPRESSION. This piece stuck with me throughout today and then just in the last half hour tonight, I found out Taylor Hawkins just died!
WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?!?!?!
So very sad 😢
Keep in your middle👍🏼
Seeing him talk of this subject matter at this point just breaks my heart. RIP Taylor. The thought of never hearing you sing again guts me.
"Got it all together" means one has to fulfill a whole lot of expectations for a whole lot of people ... expectations kill. People are not machines.
Depression is a disease. Great thing to open the convo with. Such a down to earth guy.
I understand depression all to well. They are spot on about how great your life to other people. We fake being fine. Eventually you will be alone again and that’s when it hits you and none of that other stuff matters.
This one hurts. Real bad
My condolences to his family, friends and bandmates. RIP Taylor
I'm watching this video for the first time, a few days after Taylor's death... it's hard to watch. I feel so sorry for Dave and I kind of feel like Taylor said, I'm so sad to think that Taylor isn't going to make another record, that there isn't going to be another drum solo. He will be missed! R.I.P Taylor 🌹
Now I've heard that Taylor Hawkins has passed, no other immediate details yet, RIP
Prayers for the Hawkins and Grohl family and everyone in The Foo’s. We will not get over this
I like how Taylor talks into the mic at the same angle as when a mic is clipped on a drum set
R.i.p Taylor uh , such a shame.. we've lost SOO many great ones! Rest in Paradise the rock world has been heart breaking the last 10 years. Now Taylor. One of the greatest musicians 🙏
You can see it in Hawkins face! Hes like ive been their!
Such a crying shame! Rest in peace Taylor 🙏
So sad seeing this today. Rest in peace beautiful man. ❤️
You will be missed Legend
Still so unreal to think that Taylor is gone, it doesnt just make sense
RIP Taylor Hawkins. Such a bright light and so hard to believe that Dave has to deal with another loss… self meditation? Just very sad
How awfully prophetic. 🥺💔😭
this hit so fucking hard. rest in power, taylor. we love you and miss you, like hell.
RIP Taylor Hawkins, may he rock in peace with the super band up in heaven
Watching this after Taylor’s passing hurts R.I.P. Taylor
It isn’t getting better with this loss. I remember him in my twenties. Was I a huge fan? Not really. But, I really appreciated his dynamics and being a very good musician and into his gig. If he can go, any of us can go. Which, is totally true and relevant. Sucks! But, we will all go eventually, he was too young. Yet, an aged musician. He could’ve taken it all into his 60s, 70s. Maybe 80s! In this case, we never know our own nor anyone’s deadline. Literally
a difficult question to ask and answer. thanks to all of you for doing it anyway and with grace.
RIP Kurt, RIP Taylor!, Gone way too soon!.
This makes me so sad. Rest In Peace Taylor
I never got to hear Taylor sing cold day in the sun… rip 😞❤️
Thank you… maybe people will listen to you about depression.
So many people live with it.
Thank you again ✌️❤️🐾🐕🦺😎🎵☠️✔️
Why is the audio so low?
The interviewers voices was okay
Perhaps Dave and Taylor unconsciously just became quiet and tried their best to reply while holding back emotions
I wish the interviewers who thinks of bringing up suicide and depression to these artists would be more aware how they are actually poking this heavy baggage loss and grief
And I mean like of course Dave forgot their conversation and the whole interview since they bring this particular issue that's been with him since his 20s, and they end the interview somehow unaware of the shift in the moods of Dave and Taylor
I mean to me the interviewers comes off as having no experience in loss of a friend, oblivious to the impact of asking that question to them
But maybe the interviewers were trying putting on this tough guy persona
Sorry for the ramble, man
But this whole thing about men not being able to be vulnerable and cry in front of media about these personal and universal problems is just making me sad and frustrated
I mean I think every kid, every teen, every adult, should be able cry about their loss of a friend in front of people
Again sorry for the ramble but I really feel I need to let this out
Taylor was a good friend of mine years ago! He was the nicest man.
Taylor looks so sad here. I think he was also suffering in silence. I'm still heartbroken
It may not seem like it when you are young but holy shit life absolutely just flies buy. I am 50 years old and it feels like it's almost over. I really didn't think about death until I hit 50.
We need to understand male depression.. it’s so sad it’s a big problem
*Very surreal that hes gone too now. Such an unexpected dark period. The joy is gone*
Completely gone, this world is a horrible place
@@Kustm 😔 your confirmation seals the deal for me
We will always love you, Taylor.
I'm still glad that Kurt Cobain wasn't directly mentioned here. Dave Grohl must get tired of having to discuss the loss of his friend, especially now that he has lost other friends, too.
Man, can't believe it. Rest in paradise Taylor 🤍
I feel so bad for them too, they lost a lot of music friends, must be traumatic
In general, people do not understand being depressed occasionally, usually in response to a particular situation versus chronic severe clinical depression.
My thoughts go out to Taylor’s family and the Foo Fighters family. One of funniest bands ever. Best alternative videos ever.
When you add drugs to depression things are magnified, and resistance is so low that shit happens just in a moment.
I’m not trying to be an ass but you can see how Taylor acted different in so many interviews in the few years before his death. His mannerisms changed.
I love him and his music immensely. What can you do?
God, Dave has lost so many people in his life... I don't even want to know how he tries to deal, because it's not something you really can. You never get over it, especially when you take your own life, because no matter how it feels, no matter how much you know, you have the haunting feeling you could have stopped it, that you could have done something, that you may have been at fault even... It's awful.
R.I.P. Taylor! :-(
They obviously didn’t want to talk about this 😔
I was really starting to appreciate Hawkins latest band NHC. That’s my selfish version. My sympathy to all his band mates and family and wife and kids.
How sad to watch Taylor be speaking about the others’ demise when he too it appears had his own demons and wasn’t getting the intervention he needed.
This hurts more after today 😔😔😔
"people that you think have got it all together" I feel like thats literally the problem. These people speak so openly about their problems and no one gives a fuck cause they're to busy dancing along ignoring real problems RIP
I am so devastated for Dave - Taylor made his choice and David,, you loved him. Enough said my friend - and I am a theologian!!!!!
Yeah… I wouldn’t be so concerned for him. He’s a devil worshiper. He feels nothing for you or others. Don’t be fooled. The devil is a liar.
@@OldJoeBlows 🤦🏻♂️
I was saving money to see soundgarden live. I started listening to them when I was in grade school. When Chris died I was devastated. I remember manager at the store I would sub at saying that he was weak for killing himself and he wasn't a real man. After that I started refusing to help him out and covering shifts at his store. I would straight up say, nah, I've got depression and am too weak to work those days.
Ouch. RIP Taylor 🖤😢
RIP all the legends but I am here to give the biggest ever props to Dave fucking Grohl..the nicest man in the world imo. How many friends has he lost my God..and he still finds it in himself to be there for anyone he can. Most people would be a fkn alcoholic by now at the very least with all that loss. He is arguably the most important man in music and has been for a while. He has linked up with EVERYBODY..literally!
I never met Taylor Hawkins but damn I miss him so much
Taylor looks unconfortable of talk about depression..he was passing for something similar I think..just look his face..
I'm taking this one very very seriously.
I'm a huge fan ...I am truly worried about Dave ..
Rest in peace, Taylor.
RIP Taylor 😥
Its like he says the public doesnt own the artist and if he decides to go we should let him. Of course a public and famous person is still free to decide, but depression and addiction are serious issues and treatable, there is survivors of suicidal crisis, too. Look at them, not necessarily only those that decided to end their lives.
there goes my hero
Rest in rock, Taylor 😭
Damn.....RIP Taylor
This is so hard to listen to now...
