I was there last night, on the other side, with binocs, and I could see a bunch of the family and musicians watching from the side stage. And what you didnt see, at 4:30, was one proud dad watching his son absolutely destroy. Roger's face ran the gamut of watching Rufus, put all that emotion and fury into that. and then Roger was so proud, and squeezing his wife(?) and watching Rufus keep taking it to another level. And next to him is Stuart, Lars, Chad, Sebastian, all going through the same thing.. Damn. what a sight. What a night.
@@sonicimperium sorry, what part do you not want to believe? That his dad was proud of him? or that the other musicians were connecting with that moment? It doesnt sound like you are connecting much with it, Im sure you have your reasons. but for me, and the hairs on my arm standing up, it was pretty powerful. all 6 hours of it.
Pain, pride and support. Whatever you wanna call it. Hope Sebastian Bach raises a glass to you someday. Rufus was fire last night. Everyone brought it. czcams.com/video/oOEXfHf6AyI/video.html
The way all the band were watching him. Especially after his little moment. Even Rami was checking on him. The Foos would be so blessed to have him. Out of all the drummers over both concerts, Rufus was easily the most natural, comfortable fit.
This drumming is not difficult. So many people could pull this off. I’m sick of this idolization of rock stars being super human. This dude will probably be the new drummer of the foo’s but I suspect it’s because of who his father is.
As much as I've enjoyed all the other drummers who've sat in with the surviving Foos for these tribute concerts, Rufus is the one who actually seems to be almost channeling Taylor...both physically and emotionally. It's as if he's saying "Since you can't do this anymore, man...I'm going to drum for both of us now." If the FFs continue again someday, either recording or touring or both, I hope Rufus is included in the healing process .I think he needs it, and I also believe he's the one TH would've chosen to carry on with his musical bros. It's like Rufus has spent a huge part of his life modeling himself on Taylor for a day he never expected....and never wanted....to come. But now it has.
@@francisseidel8014 I don't see Foo's touring anytime soon. To be honest I'm a huge Rufus fan and I feel he needs to move on from The Darkness. While I like Justin's you tube channel, not a big Darkness fan. Not trying to be disrespectful, just keeping it real.
@@francisseidel8014 Even if Rufus joins the Foo, I doubt we will see the Foo go on tour for a minimum of a year. I bet they take a break for a bit after all of this to sort things out.
Oh God, seeing Rufus Taylor playing the drums is like to see Taylor Hawkins again behind his kit, what a powerful and touching moment. Such a beautiful thing, Rufus tatoo a hawk on his right sholder 🖤
Rufus did an amazing job, wow! ❤ You can see him break down in the break of the song 💔 Chad Smith consoled him after his stint. Chad is a beautiful soul
Yes Chad is, I seen Joe Elliott and Sav get pretty emotional when Brian May played and seen Chad come over and give them, Pat, Dave and Shifty hugs. Seems like a genuinely good dude
@@incelthirdworld9858 Hahahaha. I said the same shit on another comment here. He's like an incomplete clone with 90% of Taylor's DNA moving in to fill all the roles, not just drummer. It's fucking weird, but I can't really hate. He is a great drummer, and he just so happens to look like Taylor. Odd but shit happens. Wifey is definitely looking to replacey. She's vulnerable right now. According to some other commenters, he's been acting like a father figure to his son Shane as well. Not strange at all.
If for the last year you lived the life of a hermit & stayed away from the News, without proper lighting on Rufus Taylor & without closeups, you would 100% believe that was Taylor Hawkins. This is a brilliant performance by Rufus, & with members of the Foo Fighters stating that Rufus is already part of their family, Rufus is the perfect fit & probably 1 of the few Drummer's that could do this Job on more importantly survive the realities. There are so many great Drummer's in the World that are not fully employed or available but for any other Drummer no matter how good they are, there would be so many problems & pressures coming into one of the World's biggest Bands, & replacing one of the World's great Drummer's & certainly most loved. Rufus however being the Son of Roger Taylor, being already friends of the Foo Fighter's & Best friends with Taylor Hawkins, gives him the best chance & plenty of experienced & wise People to go to for advice/help, etc.
Rufus’s playing style is so similar to TH is uncanny. He’s giving it everything he has to do Taylor right. It has to be a surreal feeling playing on his drum kit and expending all that emotion into this phenomenal tribute. He nailed it and then some. I’m in tears for Rufus and in awe at the same time. Roger must be so proud and in awe of his son, like Taylor was in awe of Roger. It’s come full circle.
As if this song wasn't already emotional enough. Toss in the weight and the performances here... wow. A part of me wishes that Rufus could join Foo Fighters.
@@cindywiech2675 i know, but i think that if Dave asked him to join, his band would understand. It’s the opportunity of a lifetime. People change bands all the time.
@@cindywiech2675 okay? Lots of artists are in multiple bands at once( including Taylor Hawkins) but I’m sure he would leave them in a second to go with the Foo’s. Rufus is the obvious choice other then Shane who is still really young and we don’t know if drumming will be his career choice, so until he maybe finishes school and decides what he’s going to do it has to be Rufus. Either way the music will live on.
I know he is with The Darkness but God, if they decide to go forward with someone new it HAS to be Rufus. Rufus, despite being the son of one of the best drummers alive, looked up to Taylor as much as Taylor looked up to Roger and there is a part of him in Rufus and I am sure Justin and the rest of the band would not only understand but encourage it. He just fits, it just works and even though I am literally heartbroken that Taylor is gone, seeing Rufus play with them brings me to tears every time and its the perfect fit!
Rufus you made Taylor so very proud. I cried for your pain. Your performance was full of the emotion of the night. If you weren’t Taylor on those drums….❤
I really, really hope Rufus takes the seat when the Foo Fighters continue. It's still impossible to comprehend the untimely and tragic loss of Taylor Hawkins who, just like Dave and the others, was just a beautiful, kind hearted Guy who loved Music, Family Friends and Life. He struck me as a humble Man; I kind of imagine him looking down from the heavens on these tribute concerts, grinning and shaking his head with embarassment at all of this pure love, and admiration from hundreds of millions of people radiating for him. It's damn hard when a Band member dies. Hell, it's damn hard when anyone dies, because the pain and grief is almost unbearable and it never really heals. But I think if one considers how the soul who has left this world might feel, they would invariably want to see unity harmony and love binding all their loved ones together. Rufus totally gets the chemistry; he will, given the chance, bring his own unique panache, flair, style and most important love of the music to the Foo Fighters, and ultimately the fans. I would love to see that. But I'd also hope that Shane Hawkins is included at every gig because he is a huge part of the whole Family and oh my did he smash it out the park. And it cannot have been easy for him to do that. This is something that has moved the whole world I think, and I believe we should all hug our loved ones just that little bit longer. For me, the Foo Fighters are slowly but surely ascending to the rightful place as the biggest and one of the finest rock and roll bands of all time. I grew up on a self imposed diet of Led Zeppelin and the Foos are easily right up there with them, The Beatles, Queen, anyone you'd like to mention. I've played in bands semi pro for 20 years; lost some Musicians due to ill health along the way. It hurts, it really does. It's a reminder of just how precious and fragile but beautiful Life is. Music is surely the greatest leveller amongst all of us, and therefore one of the most important things we all have to enable us to live in Peace. I know the world is messed up right now, but together we can fix it, by uniting via Art, and Love. Thank you Steve P for capturing this phenomenal rock and roll performance, one of the most emotionally charged performances I've ever seen. And to all Music fans who see this, here's to a better World. Oh hell, it's just my humble opinion 🙂
Rufus was mentored closely by Taylor when he was developing as a drummer, you can absolutely tell because his groove, feel and mannerisms look almost identical, what an outstanding drummer, and a perfect fit for the band... He just looks a lot like Taylor, and that part is heartbreaking
I love Rufus not only for his playing ability but the way he is looking after Shane is heartwarming. If the Foos continue I hope it’s with Rufus and in my fantasy world Shane forms a band and back ups the FF on tour…then all Shane’s Uncle’s can look over him.
I like your take on the next chapter. I'm just so happy to see these guys smiling and crying at the same time. My emotions got to me when Rufus had his head in his hands and then he got right back in it . These guys are such pros and Shane is wise beyond ones years
Don't you think that's weird though? It's almost like he's replacing Taylor as not only the drummer, but as Shane's dad. He already stole the way he looked, lmao. Next he'll be moving into his house and fucking his wife.
When I went to see Foo at MSG on 6/20/21, did not know I would never see Taylor Hawkins play live again. It was my first and only. I was in awe of the guy - what a beast on the drums. What a musician. There will never be anyone like Taylor again....that said gotta appreciate Rufus is pretty fucking awesome too.
Rufus has been with this band a long time...search CZcams for 2017 festival interview. He should be the one to follow in the steps of his friend and mentor. ✌️
Man, he pounded those skins with every cell and emotion in his body for Taylor. Rufus really channeled him. I got chills on this, like I did watching Shane. That throne is gonna need someone that completely lines up all aspects and can truly sit in Hawkins place.
Roger has been my hero for 40 years. I love Queen and I will always be Queen's biggest fan, but Rufus has got me so excited for the next generation. Let's go!
If you pause it at 7:27 when Rufus hits and slings his blonde hair back with the yellow light behind him looks like Taylor’s spirit letting him know he’s there with him. “Now… I know it’s not for real, or could be 🤷🏼♀️ but that’s what I got out of it.” ✌️ 🖤
Terrific heartfelt performance from Rufus....if the Darknes and the Foos coordinate their tour dates he could play with both as Zac Starkey did with the Who and Oasis
I believe it will be Rufus as their new drummer! He even eerily resembles Taylor, some of the mannerisms, his hair, just honestly think he's next in line!!
Foo fighters isn’t the same without Taylor Hawkins I can’t imagine for losing his 2 guys like Kurt and Taylor but they both will never be forgotten RIP both of them!
Thanks for getting this Steve P 🙏 A truly monumental display by Rufus, which you can see, hear and feel how much this performance meant to Him and everyone watching ♥️🤘🏻 Rufus hits hard, but that’s probably the hardest I’ve ever seen him hit the drums…. It was an incredible moment 🥺 Which seems to choke me up every time I watch it 🥺🥺 Inspiring 💪🏻
I'm not crying 😭 this was the hardest concert to watch. I will remember that day like it was yesterday Taylor passed the day before my birthday. Rest in paradise Taylor.
What an absolutelu amazing night! I was there in the back, where the super die hards were at as josh homme put it lol won't ever forget it. so full of emotion. so full of just incerdible music. Best night ever-taylor would've been proud. RIP taylor...fly hjigh
The Foo will hire Rufus to continue playing gigs, he's a perfect fit, Taylors favorite drummer is his dad and he can play as well as anyone. It will happen ✌️💙
The chemistry 🧪 was undeniable during this performance. RT without a doubt should fill in the gap to continue the FF tradition of live shows in the future❤
Alison Hawkins sitting right behind the drum riser - must have been a heavy night for her, but Taylor is forever remembered by everyone in the FF world and beyond. What a great guy he was!
Man the similarities between Rufus and a younger Taylor is crazy! Roger must be so proud of his son.
AND the way he plays the drums is very simmilar to T.H. He could be a good drummer for the Foo Fighters
He is so like Taylor in many ways but Rufus did model his playing style on Taylor he said in interview.hd loved him dearly
Yeah! I think the same.
And the fact that both have Taylor in their name.
If anyone should replace Taylor, right there is man for job.

With Alison Hawkins behind him, this was the moment.................
???
I think Dave saw what the future held at the end of this song. Rufus was 100% on board
Everyone did and felt it. I can picture Dave recording and Rufus going on the road
Besides Dave obviously Rufus is the only person who could step in and keep the same vibe!!! ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Totally agree with you on that ❤
Absolutely!!!
TAYLOR WOULD LOVE RUFUS STEPPING IN!
This drumming is not difficult. So many people could pull this off. I’m sick of this idolization of rock stars being super human. This dude will probably be the new drummer of the foo’s but I suspect it’s because of who his father is.
Trurh
Taylor was Rufus’s idol just like his dad was Taylor’s. Lot of passion in this song. Rufus crushed it. What a performance.
As much as I've enjoyed all the other drummers who've sat in with the surviving Foos for these tribute concerts, Rufus is the one who actually seems to be almost channeling Taylor...both physically and emotionally.

I feel exactly the same. I couldn't have said it better than you.
1000% Rufus is FAMILY.....and Taylor's Godson....
Rufus absolutely slayed that. Man, what a performance.
When all the members was pointed towards Rufus it felt like a sign. Like “welcome to Foo Fighters”❤️
i hope so, i need see this amazing band someday
It's a possibility. There have been many great auditions for the drumming spot over the two shows. Travis Barker has the energy too.
@@richieallen2810 Yeah. I think this 2 shows were good for the band. So maybe when they have processed it all they will come back as a band.
The fact that they jammed with Rufus like they used to with Taylor gives a little hint of who could be their next drummer

And will not be the last

I think we all know Rufus is going to take over Taylors drum throne, he's their missing link..
Oh Rufus - you’re amazing! Breaks my heart when you break down 💔
Less tours but with Rufus filling in each of them would definitely work for me
If you watch best of you live at Sirius XM, that is the solo hawkins slayed.. Rufus did a damn good job!
We must have been sitting very close to one another, because that was my exact view. Thanks for sharing. A mesmerizing performance by Rufus.

Thanks for getting this Steve P 🙏 A truly monumental display by Rufus, which you can see, hear and feel how much this performance meant to Him and everyone watching ♥️🤘🏻 Rufus hits hard, but that’s probably the hardest I’ve ever seen him hit the drums…. It was an incredible moment 🥺 Which seems to choke me up every time I watch it 🥺🥺 Inspiring 💪🏻
Can’t. Stop. Watching.
If the Foo's do carry on. Rufus may just be the perfect fit.
my money is on Rufus as the Foo's touring drummer for 2023/2024 and beyond...
Damn, that was epic!
I'm not crying 😭 this was the hardest concert to watch. I will remember that day like it was yesterday Taylor passed the day before my birthday. Rest in paradise Taylor.
What an absolutelu amazing night! I was there in the back, where the super die hards were at as josh homme put it lol won't ever forget it. so full of emotion. so full of just incerdible music. Best night ever-taylor would've been proud. RIP taylor...fly hjigh
The Foo will hire Rufus to continue playing gigs, he's a perfect fit, Taylors favorite drummer is his dad and he can play as well as anyone. It will happen ✌️💙
The chemistry 🧪 was undeniable during this performance. RT without a doubt should fill in the gap to continue the FF tradition of live shows in the future❤
Great chemistry between them
Absolutely electric. Wow
Alison Hawkins sitting right behind the drum riser - must have been a heavy night for her, but Taylor is forever remembered by everyone in the FF world and beyond. What a great guy he was!
Ru nailed it !! 🤍
what an incredible performance. insane. rufus is the man! and can we appreciate how much this drumsound slaps?! holy shite!!!
Rufus is simply amazingzing....👄
Wow. No words.
These legacy drummers ARE AMAZING!! Between Rufus and Shane, I can't wait to see where they go.
Man, that video gave me goosebumps. Awesome
He passed the audition. Meet the new drummer of the Foo Fighters
Who? Josh Freese?
Rufus Hawkins ,played the drums great !!🥁
That right there, is the Foo's new drummer, if/when they decide to continue as a band.
If you have ever played in a band 5:20 is the look of "we found him".
Pat's face said it all
I think the very last shot of Pat looking at Rufus says exactly that too
Wow! Amazing! Rufus kills it!
By far the best one for the job!
this video made me cry, thanks
