A Tribute to Taylor Hawkins

<p><strong>Season 3 - Episode 13 - A Tribute to Taylor Hawkins (Foo Fighters)</strong></p> <p>Even though EPILID is technically on Hiatus, we'd be remiss if we didn't honor the late, enigmatic drummer of the Foo Fighters, Taylor Hawkins. Taylor joined the Foo Fighters in 1997 after playing with Alanis Morrisette on the Jagged Little Pill tour, a job he earned with his work with Sass Jordan. Taylors presence in the band was quickly felt both on recordings and playing live. The unofficial 2nd frontman of the Dave Grohl led outfit. Taylor recorded 8 albums with the Foo's as well as with many side projects like Taylor Hawkins and the Coattail Riders, Birds of Satan, Coheed and Cambria and more.</p> <p>Taylor passed away in his hotel room in Bogota, Columbia March 25th, 2022 just hours before the band was set to hit the stage. Shocked fans sang along to Foo Fighters music being played over the PA while holding an impromptu vigil at the concert venue as well as outside the hotel where Taylor was staying.</p> <p>Taylors impact on Rock music, his inspiration to drummers new and old world wide and his larger than life persona will be forever missed, however his legacy will live on eternally. Rest in peace Taylor.</p> <p><strong>Music credits for this episode include:</strong></p> <p>Foo Fighters - <em>My Hero, Razor, Cold Day in the sun, Sunday Rain, The Pretender, Big Me, Everlong, Learn to Fly, Long Road to ruin, Walk &amp; Somebody to Love (Performed by Taylor Hawkins, original artist Queen)</em></p> <p>Coheed and Cambria - <em>No World for Tomorrow</em></p> <p>Birds of Satan - <em>Thanks for the line</em></p> <p>Nirvana - <em>Heart Shaped Box</em></p> <p>Alanis Morrisette - <em>You oughta Know</em></p> <p>Queen - <em>Bohemian Rhapsody</em></p> <p>Queens of the Stone Age - <em>No one knows</em></p> <p><strong>Interview clips and news segments courtesy of:</strong></p> <p><em>CBC</em></p> <p><em>Skynews</em></p> <p><em>CBS</em></p> <p><em>ABC7</em></p> <p><em>60 minutes</em></p> <p><em>Anderson Cooper</em></p> <p><em>Ho
