100% this. + deepest pocket in hard rock. I'm pretty speechless. What a rude awakening seeing this first thing in the morning. MTV Live's streaming 100% Foo Fighters right now. Leaving that on all day.Always liked Taylor in inteviews, etc -> a fun loving guy on top of a great drummer.
And of course, Taylor and David inducted Rush into the R&R HoF.
Additional Canadian connections -> prior to joining the Foo, Taylor was part of Sass Jordan's band ( a rocking Quebec singer who "had a chance" be the singer in Van Halen ) , and Taylor was the touring drummer for Alanis Morissette. For me, the Foo Fighters were/are the biggest, most consistent, no drama, and highly likeable band of the last 25+ years churning out great rockin' tunes -> RIP !
