Not what I'm listening to as such, but if you are a big fan of the Foo Fighters, then this is a really interesting read about Taylor.
Inside Taylor Hawkins’ Final Days as a Foo Fighter
For 24 years, Taylor went all-out for Foo Fighters. Before he died, Hawkins told multiple friends he “couldn’t fucking do it anymore.”

was trawling through for some depeche mode and forgot about this mash up

@MajorRage a few people quoted in that article have already backed away from their statements. Which is interesting.

Drumming in hard rock groups is a fucken tough gig and only gets harder the older you get.
There’s a reason Bill Ward didn’t tour with Sabbath during their reunion. At 70 odd he simply wasn’t up to it. Sounds like Hawkins knew his time was up. Really sad.

I get a lot of mileage out of the compilation cd Iron Leg, pulled together as a labour of love by DJ Shadow after he discovered them 40 years after the fact and became obsessed tracking down every song they ever recorded. There’s not a weak track on the collection. Mostly instrumental soul/r&b/funk, somewhere between James Brown’s Band and Booker T & the MGs, with occasional Hendrixian wah-wah pedal.

I loaned that documentary to several friends who believed they were watching a mockumentary like Spinal Tap, they’d never heard of them and swore they couldn’t believe they were a real band. It is one of the best rock docs out there.

@MN5 would like to see him in concert. Like some of his James Gang stuff including The Bomber:, Woman and Funk 49. The confessor is awesome as well post James Gang.
We will part ways of the Eagles.
‘The smoker you drink the player you get’ is just a fantastic album too.

@MN5 Yep. His voice is unique but you don't have to have a church choir voice to connect with your audience like your favorite Mark Knopfler or Johnny Cash. Pretty Maids all in a row is a good example of the effectiveness of his voice.
I don’t know if this is a compliment or not.
Anyway here’s another album to listen to….a great soundtrack to how I’d imagine life was in the 70s

@MN5 Good recommendations. Listened to both while my daughter was driving on the freeway for the first time. Both experiences were enjoyable.
The Eagles to me are ‘BBQ music’ something safe and boring to put on at a gathering that won’t offend anyone.
Walsh on his own ( or with the James Gang ) is something else entirely. I had a listen while playing darts in the garage last night, it helped inspire a couple of big scores !!!!
