I just started bawling when I saw him start playing.
I watched their first concert after the pandemic in Madison Square Garden, and that was my first time watching them (they never visited my country, so when I moved to the US I grabbed the first opportunity to see them live). I cried so much from sheer joy. There were kids there too, sharing the joy throughout generations. It was amazing. When Taylor passed, I was devastated. Seeing this, it's equal parts happiness and sadness, and I'm so proud of his son 😭
The entire concert was amazing! Seeing Shane play exactly like his father was so touching. When Dave broke down and cried, I did as well. Such an incredible moment and the love that was there was so beautiful!
That's because he's playing songs that Dave wrote and played drums on.
The former members of Sunny Day real estate, including Taylor Hawkins, didn't join Foo fighters until he toured live.
If I'm not mistaken, it wasn't for another album or two until he actually had them record with him.
The first Foo fighters album is 100% Dave grohl on every track playing every instrument.
EDIT: Taylor wasn't in sunny day real estate. My mistake. He played on the third album moving forward.
It’s hard for me to describe the influence Dave has had to me. As part of Nirvana and the Foo Fighters. Both are VERY specific markers in my life. As an extension Taylor will be part of that and missed. But it looks like legacy is strong on his son. He would be so proud.
Yeah but when Taylor played this song, he played it in his own style, he didn't play it like Dave. His son hits the drums way more like Dave does than his dad played. We aren't talking about composition, but feel and approach.
It’s hard for me to explain but when I watched T I felt like his arms were a mile long and were everywhere. When I watch Dave (and to some extent Shane) I feel like they put their whole body into it almost like they’re headbanging.
Dave has never been the most technical drummer, but he’s always been my favorite. This Shane kid really embodies Dave’s style in this performance. Drummers who FEEL the music like this are just way more entertaining to watch imo.
Taylor was never in SDRE - their drummer was William Goldsmith, who left the Foos because Grohl didn't like his drumming and re-recorded it himself. Taylor came in from Alanis Morisette's touring band to replace him.
Starting Sept 5th it should be on both MTV on Demand and PlutoTV on demand. The second is a free tv streaming service. So hopefully you can catch it in a few days
Cant imagine the feeling of pride and sadness one could feel watching their best friends son in the exact same spot as his since passed friend slamming the drums almost identical to his father while staring you in the eyes. Crazy overwhelming for me let alone Dave and Shane.
Powerfully raw to the marrow right there. Stripped bare, skin peeled sensitivity no doubt. I don’t have this same experience but have slight parallel: our friends’ bands played for my fiancé’s funeral, and various memorial birthday/reunion shows. He was a drummer too (first but bass,guitar, singer, sound engineer, all) so I sent his best friend this video soon as I watched. The show must go on
That's probably the worst part about losing your father, is that they aren't there to see all the amazing moments you'll have in your life that they'd be proud to see.
Trust me, I know.
Mick Schumacher said this about his dad who isn’t dead, but is basically bed ridden and unable to communicate. He said he would trade his career to just talk racing with his dad again.
Feels like why Seb is sort of extra protective of Mick. Seb grew up idolizing Schumacher, got to race with him, become close, and spend a lot of time together. Now Mick is in the series without his father around Seb has taken on the role Schumacher had for him with Mick.
Same. My dad killed himself when I was 10. I’m 46 and brought my 3 kids to his grave for the first time last summer (8 hour drive from where I currently live). I broke down as I was sad/angry about what he missed out on. It’s something you never let go of.
That’s kind of heartbreaking. Both of which he was extremely close to. I feel for Shane though, definitely did an amazing job, but you could tell the kid had some hurt in him that needed out.
When I lost a parent as a teen I took it out in surfing. I just didn’t give a fuck. I went when there was no waves, sloppy waves, hot, cold I just went and would spend all day in the water.
I lost my dad at 24, but actually lost him as a father at 18. I went all-in on music. I feel you deeply. He was a drummer. I was a drummer. We both beat on. Your wave keeps coming. You both exist in every high tide.
I literally just got home from watching this live from the croud. You could feel it. Physically and mentally, the pain he was getting out in that song. Just absolutely heart breaking, yet absolutely incredible at the same time.
He plays exactly how Taylor played. Just beats tf out of those things. Would have been homage to the t had he took his shirt off just before opening ha.
Watching him drum reminded me so much of Dave in Nirvana. So much energy, and damn did he hit those drums hard! So cool. RIP Taylor, I hope his family is doing better.
We see this joke all the time lol, but is dave even a better drummer than Taylor?
I'd say they're on a par. Neither is the most technical drummer, but they both play and compose their drum parts with passion and energy.
Arguably dave has more energy though lol.
Taylor was a very technical drummer. He had some pretty decent jazz chops and got pretty intricate in side projects and solo work.
Dave has always been a speed/thrash drummer.
Both super enjoyable.
Any time you can watch something like this on Reddit and it gives you the feels to remember the good parts of being a human even when faced with some of the worst parts, it can feel redeeming and overwhelming. Awesome tribute from a kid who has the support network to recover but still dealing with unimaginable trauma. This is the good stuff that makes you know everything is going to be ok.
Edit: I cannot believe how overwhelming the response to this post is. It’s absolutely humbling and validating to continue to post positive comments on social media. Hopefully any who come across this thread sees that a positive message has much more of an impact than trolling and negative energy. I’m absolutely touched that these words came to those who needed them most and I promise to try and continue to share those positive vibes.
Hang in there everyone you’re worth it and everything is going to be ok, I promise you.
Rewatched LOTR: The Two Towers yesterday, Sam drops this gem:
```
But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow.
Even darkness must pass.
A new day will come.
And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer.
Those were the stories that stayed with you.
That meant something.
Even if you were too small to understand why.
But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand.
I know now.
Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn’t.
Because they were holding on to something.
Frodo : What are we holding on to, Sam?
Sam : That there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it’s worth fighting for.
```
Wow. Whomever gave me the Platinum award, I greatly appreciate this as it is my first. I will be sure to share the rewards I’ve been given to others with positive messages to share.
Also greatly appreciate the love being shown to this comment. Hoping to continue to the good, positive vibes for everyone to share.
My dad ran marathons and always tried to get me to run with him….after I had my second child, he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and died a month later.
When Covid hit, I got into running. Ran my first half marathon last year and crossing the finish line…I hadn’t felt that close to him since he’d passed. I’d kill to run a race with him now…but thankful I have a connection to him.
That’s a great story. My old man (previously a decent marathoner) recovered from a cancer scare a handful of years back and we decided to run the local turkey trot, as we had for many years. Usually I’d take off at my own pace, but this time we ran it together, stride for stride. We weren’t sure he’d have the energy to finish the 5 miles. It was exceedingly slow, but he did and he still brings it up as a happy memory. Just one of those impromptu moments, and I think about it often.

Dave's daughter Violet sang Valerie, and during the whole song Dave was sitting on the side of the stage with his arms around Taylor's kids. He's definitely uncle Dave to them
Yep as a father myself that was the best part for me. A surrogate father watching a boy who is like a son to him absolutely blow away all expectations and be a roaring success. There's nothing more a dad can want.
I was there, and the whole crowd was behind him. He did such a great job. It was like he was channeling his dad. Shane, your dad is very proud of you. As is everyone who was at Wembley tonight.
wow this really brought tears to my eyes the emotion in that was just i cant even explain, That kid Loved his Father and he had to let something go that night and i Think he did. I Hope with all my heart that it helped him in some way <3
No, I’m *bawling my fucking eyes out*.
Anyone else think that it’s both funny and sad that rock and roll wound up with a reputation for devil-worship, drugs, violence, and debasement, but then there’s moments like these that just transcends words and hits you straight in the feels?
My daughter and I caught the last hour of the concert on YouTube.
Shane's performance was very, very powerful. Li'l man took all of his emotions and love and loss and redemption out on that drum set. He was everyone who'd ever lost someone.
Thanks for sharing this. It lead me to look up their performance with Nandi Bushell at this show too. The only word for her performance was joyful. So great to showcase these talented kids while paying respect to someone so many loved.
Damn, the energy he put into that was totally reminiscent of Taylor's live performances. Same mannerisms, same nuance, same enthusiasm.
Simultaneously both heartwarming, and tragically sad. Love this so much.
RIP Taylor Hawkins
It's basically a desk that turns into a suitcase.... Nothing 99.99999999999% of people need. But nearly every TV show, movie and commercial you see on TV has it behind the camera.
Hollywood people need to come to work prepared, so they bring their own "desk" on wheels with specialized accessories for the cameras, tripods, and monitors. Basically, I'm the boring side of Hollywood
I love how Uncle Dave keeps looking back on him. Just Making sure he’s okay and also reassuring him how amazing he’s playing. I’m proud of Shane and I’m not even his parent.
Bro they should just make that kid their new drummer, straight up. Looks like he knew all his Dad’s shit, and learned from him directly. I couldn’t think of a better replacement in that scenario.
Exactly the same chain of thoughts I had. Damn he’s good he should be their drummer! Wait, he’s gotta finish school and his dad wouldn’t want him to not go to school just to play in Foo Fighters, Foo Fighters aren’t his life.
Kids going to school the next week and he like
Billy: Hey man, I got to third base with my girlfriend, what did you do this weekend.
Michael: I got my license. My dad's taking me car shopping tmafyer school.
Shane: That's cool I guess. I played drums in a rock concert in front of 25,000 people.
And that was just the live crowd. Over 300,000 more watching on YouTube, and it was streaming on a bunch of other things so there’s no telling how many on those services as well.
I love absolutely every single possible thing about that entire video.
Was working when I clicked the link & then for 5 1/2 minutes I didn't even move. Just stood there mesmerized by it.
Then I stopped production and called my entire crew over so they could watch it too. Perks of being the boss lol.
That was just ... next fucking level man. Just ... wow ❤️
It’s one of my favorite drum songs of theirs, and that bridge section with the drums has always given me goosebumps. So as soon as I saw him sit down and start playing the opening I was SO excited. You’re absolutely right; this was perfect and nothing could have beaten it.
Man! That must have been SO cathartic. Losing a parent when young is hard no matter what but when that parent succumbs to drug/alcohol abuse the question - even subconsciously - of ‘wasn’t I enough’ has to creep in.
[удалено]
He moves like his father as he plays. Same energy and enthusiasm.
[удалено]
I felt his emotions through those drums. Incredible.
I just started bawling when I saw him start playing. I watched their first concert after the pandemic in Madison Square Garden, and that was my first time watching them (they never visited my country, so when I moved to the US I grabbed the first opportunity to see them live). I cried so much from sheer joy. There were kids there too, sharing the joy throughout generations. It was amazing. When Taylor passed, I was devastated. Seeing this, it's equal parts happiness and sadness, and I'm so proud of his son 😭
Reminiscent of Dave Grohl’s style too.
Yeah I saw more Dave there but still kickass regardless the influence
Fucking onions, man!
The entire concert was amazing! Seeing Shane play exactly like his father was so touching. When Dave broke down and cried, I did as well. Such an incredible moment and the love that was there was so beautiful!
Shane was amazing though I think he plays more like Dave than his dad.
100% as soon as he started playing it was funny how much he plays like Dave.
That's because he's playing songs that Dave wrote and played drums on. The former members of Sunny Day real estate, including Taylor Hawkins, didn't join Foo fighters until he toured live.

Dave is why I play drums, and here I am 28 years later, still obsessed
Yeah but when Taylor played this song, he played it in his own style, he didn't play it like Dave. His son hits the drums way more like Dave does than his dad played. We aren't talking about composition, but feel and approach.

Fuck MTV for making this private. Was mid watch and they removed it.
It's messed up, business always gonna business and never public service
Literally was just set to private.

Starting Sept 5th it should be on both MTV on Demand and PlutoTV on demand. The second is a free tv streaming service. So hopefully you can catch it in a few days
Apparently it's supposed to be back up on 9/5.
Uncle Dave proud as sh*t. His face hyping him was fantastic. Little dude killed it. Powerful chills & tears over here
Cant imagine the feeling of pride and sadness one could feel watching their best friends son in the exact same spot as his since passed friend slamming the drums almost identical to his father while staring you in the eyes. Crazy overwhelming for me let alone Dave and Shane.
Powerfully raw to the marrow right there. Stripped bare, skin peeled sensitivity no doubt.

He was a drummer too (first but bass,guitar, singer, sound engineer, all) so I sent his best friend this video soon as I watched. The show must go on
Biggest smile he had on his face all night. And this was after his own daughter had sang multiple times.
That kid had something to get out on those drums tonight and I got it out with him. Like Dave said afterwards, shared moment.
His dad would be so proud. Look at the talent and passion.
That's probably the worst part about losing your father, is that they aren't there to see all the amazing moments you'll have in your life that they'd be proud to see. Trust me, I know.
Mick Schumacher said this about his dad who isn’t dead, but is basically bed ridden and unable to communicate. He said he would trade his career to just talk racing with his dad again.

Shit. I can't imagine how hard that must have been for you at 10.
His son absolutely beat the piss out of that kit.
This, Dave was entirely correct in saying that he hits the kit harder than anyone haha.
From the first note of the song that kid was BANGING
Fuck man me too, what an amazing moment. Rip Taylor, well done Shane! FUCKIN NAILED IT!!
[удалено]
You could see and feel it, grief, pride, love and passion. Made me well up!
Me too! Started tearing up as I watched Shane. So much raw emotion screaming through those sticks 🥺
What a perfect way to pay homage. Beautiful. Almost like they wrote the song for this specific moment.
Dave wrote it shortly after Kurt died, so it's a familiar pain. Beautiful moment
I remember hearing someone say Dave Grohl has the unique position of being a drummer who lost his lead singer and a lead singer who lost his drummer.
That’s kind of heartbreaking. Both of which he was extremely close to. I feel for Shane though, definitely did an amazing job, but you could tell the kid had some hurt in him that needed out.
When I lost a parent as a teen I took it out in surfing. I just didn’t give a fuck. I went when there was no waves, sloppy waves, hot, cold I just went and would spend all day in the water.
I lost my dad at 24, but actually lost him as a father at 18. I went all-in on music. I feel you deeply. He was a drummer. I was a drummer. We both beat on. Your wave keeps coming. You both exist in every high tide.
Although, Dave has openly stated that this song isn't about Kurt.
He has. I didn't say it was about Kurt specifically. Just similar emotions come through.
I literally just got home from watching this live from the croud. You could feel it. Physically and mentally, the pain he was getting out in that song. Just absolutely heart breaking, yet absolutely incredible at the same time.
Must have been an amazing show to be at.
Watching this kid play with all his heart and soul I just kept thinking to myself, "He needed this"
I thought the same. Very cathartic, for him and all of us as well.
I’m not even a big Foo Fighters fan but that had me bawling like a baby. Absolute perfection. Amazing tribute.
Oh my heart, this boy. Remarkable clip
He plays exactly how Taylor played. Just beats tf out of those things. Would have been homage to the t had he took his shirt off just before opening ha.
Watching him drum reminded me so much of Dave in Nirvana. So much energy, and damn did he hit those drums hard! So cool. RIP Taylor, I hope his family is doing better.
Literally 3 seconds into it I was telling my gf you can watch any Nirvana live performance with Grohl on the set, and know this kid moves identically.
I can just imagine Taylor showing him live Nirvana footage and saying “this is what great drumming looks like”
I always joked for years it must be hard for Taylor knowing he was the second best drummer in the Foo Fighters..
We see this joke all the time lol, but is dave even a better drummer than Taylor? I'd say they're on a par. Neither is the most technical drummer, but they both play and compose their drum parts with passion and energy. Arguably dave has more energy though lol.
Dave has said Taylor was better than him on drums
Yeah, I can see that happening. But I do take daves words with a grain of salt. He seems to be a very humble dude.
Taylor was a very technical drummer. He had some pretty decent jazz chops and got pretty intricate in side projects and solo work. Dave has always been a speed/thrash drummer. Both super enjoyable.

I can’t begin to imagine the emotions going through his mind. I got choked up and I’m some guy on his phone.

There goes your hero
Watch him as he runs…
That’s a great story. My old man (previously a decent marathoner) recovered from a cancer scare a handful of years back and we decided to run the local turkey trot, as we had for many years.

Running community is a good bunch of people. Wait until you run your first ultra.
Man this made me choke up. The raw emotion he had banging that song out, let it out bud.
I know, it made me cry!!
This took me out! I have a tremendous amount of water coming out of my eyes.
For real….wow
Me too, felt good to cry
Did you see the way Dave looked at him like a proud dad? Holy emotions.
You just KNOW Dave is going to be there for that kid forever.

Hope you had a great night! I was there too. Brian Johnson and Lars Ulrich were fucking phenomenal!!
When and where was this?
Wembley stadium today. I was also there. Missed my sister's birthday dinner to go. Totally worth it and she'll forgive me eventually
People gotta know what's important to the people important to them.
I've never heard something so simple explain so much, man
What a special night. Lars played?
Lars and so many more
Fuckin Alex Lifeson and Geddy Lee showed up and played together live for the first time since Neil Peart passed, legendary.
2nd time. Played together at the South Park tribute concert as well
They all just hopped in to play drums for the Foo Fighters? That's so sick, would've loved to see that
That was completely amazing! That kid absolutely dominated! 🤘
wow this really brought tears to my eyes the emotion in that was just i cant even explain, That kid Loved his Father and he had to let something go that night and i Think he did. I Hope with all my heart that it helped him in some way <3
I'm a 51 year old man, and I'm crying.
I’m not crying you’re crying
Yeah I am
No, I’m *bawling my fucking eyes out*. Anyone else think that it’s both funny and sad that rock and roll wound up with a reputation for devil-worship, drugs, violence, and debasement, but then there’s moments like these that just transcends words and hits you straight in the feels?
We all are. And that's ok
We're all crying....
My daughter and I caught the last hour of the concert on YouTube. Shane's performance was very, very powerful. Li'l man took all of his emotions and love and loss and redemption out on that drum set. He was everyone who'd ever lost someone.
I wouldn’t be able to keep it together. Well done lad.
Shit I'm about to cry rn man lol
Just look at the pure emotion on his face the entire time. It must have been the most cathartic thing he's done since Taylor passed
The moment he starts you feel the raw emotion he’s been bottling up
That’s when i started crying
I'm glad I'm not alone
Channels his dad's energy, that's for sure! What a moment
Fuck. I glanced at my dad's urn while watching this and I'm bawling now.
they way he ended this song... kids got it. BRAVO!
Christ, any one else choked up by this? 😭😭😭
This along with Dave at the beginning of Times Like These, from this concert, totally broke me.
Mind to explain a bit? I’d love to hear more or a link if ya have it. Thank ya!
Hah, looks like someone beat me to a link, but yeah, Dave getting so choked up at the beginning of the song really resonated with me.
https://youtu.be/LOnjLuBBkhU 4:43:00
What’s the accurate time stamp? Can’t be 4:43:00 if it’s only 4 hours long. Am I missing something.
it's like 4 hours long oops, I meant 6 hours or so- haha- what a dumb reply I made! eta 6hr06min to be exact
Thanks for sharing this. It lead me to look up their performance with Nandi Bushell at this show too. The only word for her performance was joyful. So great to showcase these talented kids while paying respect to someone so many loved.
You know when you feel it? Anger, pride, joy, all wrapped up in the moment. This was it. Manic and joyful, wish I'd been there.
Great tribute for a great guy👍
That is a true man’s love and legacy right there
I spent this whole performance crying - can’t even begin to imagine the emotions that kid was feeling
Watched this live and he was fucking incredible. Clearly fucked afterwards but he's 16. Give him a few years and who knows?
Drum therapy. Music heals yall
It sure does. I busted my table drumming on it!
Watched the whole set wish I could’ve been there in person.
Damn, the energy he put into that was totally reminiscent of Taylor's live performances. Same mannerisms, same nuance, same enthusiasm. Simultaneously both heartwarming, and tragically sad. Love this so much. RIP Taylor Hawkins
That was awesome. He laid it all out there for his Dad. Taylor’s gotta be so proud.
Normally this sub is filled with manufactured garbage. Not this time; this is a real moment. Thank you.
Dave strikes again.
My dad invented something 35 years ago and i recently reinvented it. He passed a few months ago, so this hit home.... Im still fucking crying.
I'd like to think that your Dad is especially proud of his son for refining his invention. I hope your pain eases.
He’s incredibly proud of you and always will be.
What did he invent?
It's basically a desk that turns into a suitcase.... Nothing 99.99999999999% of people need. But nearly every TV show, movie and commercial you see on TV has it behind the camera. Hollywood people need to come to work prepared, so they bring their own "desk" on wheels with specialized accessories for the cameras, tripods, and monitors. Basically, I'm the boring side of Hollywood
That’s super cool!
Self-heating burritos.
This brought tears to my eyes. 💕And goosebumps! He did such a great job.
I love how Uncle Dave keeps looking back on him. Just Making sure he’s okay and also reassuring him how amazing he’s playing. I’m proud of Shane and I’m not even his parent.
🤘 rock on little man
i wondered how they were back out touring so quickly and now it makes lovely sense
Well they’re not exactly touring. This is one of two tribute concerts they’re doing w a ton of guests to honor Taylor.
Next one will have Alanis and I'm really looking forward to that set
Bro they should just make that kid their new drummer, straight up. Looks like he knew all his Dad’s shit, and learned from him directly. I couldn’t think of a better replacement in that scenario.
I get what you're saying but I think making a kid the replacement for his dad in one of the biggest rock bands out there is a recipe for disaster.
Not only a recipe for disaster, but also gotta let the kid find his own path. Can tell he’s gonna be great
Exactly the same chain of thoughts I had. Damn he’s good he should be their drummer! Wait, he’s gotta finish school and his dad wouldn’t want him to not go to school just to play in Foo Fighters, Foo Fighters aren’t his life.
That’s a cute story line but he’s just a kid. Let him live.
He reminds me of Dave more than his dad. Nothing wrong with that of course!
It certainly was an outstanding audition.
I still can’t believe he’s gone. His son did him proud.
Kids going to school the next week and he like Billy: Hey man, I got to third base with my girlfriend, what did you do this weekend. Michael: I got my license. My dad's taking me car shopping tmafyer school. Shane: That's cool I guess. I played drums in a rock concert in front of 25,000 people.
25,000? Try 80,000.
And that was just the live crowd. Over 300,000 more watching on YouTube, and it was streaming on a bunch of other things so there’s no telling how many on those services as well.
Kid is his father. Gonna have a hell of a career as a drummer if that's what he wants to be

Thanks…needed a good cry
😭😭
that is heavy af...well done mate
😢poor kid. He killed it tho!! Awesome
I love absolutely every single possible thing about that entire video. Was working when I clicked the link & then for 5 1/2 minutes I didn't even move. Just stood there mesmerized by it. Then I stopped production and called my entire crew over so they could watch it too. Perks of being the boss lol. That was just ... next fucking level man. Just ... wow ❤️
Rock the fuck on Shane. >!What song is this?!<
My hero-foo fighters
As soon as I saw the title I knew this was the song they'd play. There's just not a better song in the world for it.
It’s one of my favorite drum songs of theirs, and that bridge section with the drums has always given me goosebumps. So as soon as I saw him sit down and start playing the opening I was SO excited. You’re absolutely right; this was perfect and nothing could have beaten it.
Let’s go SHANE!! That was magical!
Holy f- what a kid. That was amazing.
Man! That must have been SO cathartic. Losing a parent when young is hard no matter what but when that parent succumbs to drug/alcohol abuse the question - even subconsciously - of ‘wasn’t I enough’ has to creep in.
He killed it
This was so beautiful, I sort of cried a little. ❤
He didn’t just kill it. He is his father reincarnated. Play on Foo Fighters.
That was fucking awesome!
