Posted April 18, 20223 yr Props to the Foo organization for keeping this situation low key. Last thing I would ever want being in their position is a bunch of creeps like the TMZ snooping around. That being said Grohl has shown to be on one side a dude that can't sit still...... so at some point new music will flow. But if you have ever seen interviews..... he was very close to Hawkins and speculation is that he might not be able to play those tunes with anyone else. Who knows ? ...... what do yoose think ? What have yoose heard ?

April 19, 20223 yr Honestly, I think it would be a mistake if he did that. Noel Gallagher tried doing that, going away from the Oasis songs and doing his own thing. But the Oasis songs are not only better, but they're why people even know him in the first place. I saw him with High Flying Birds and the crowd was half into it - he eventually had a freakout on stage about it, started playing Oasis songs, and the crowd went nuts. I hope that wouldn't happen to Grohl, but people know him (mostly now) because of the Foo stuff. Not to mention it still makes a crap ton of money.

April 19, 20223 yr A lot of iconic bands have overcome tragedy. Metallica, Def Leppard, Lynyrd Skynyrd, etc. It’s tragic, but one person does not make the band. I suspect that they will take some time off as a band, but will fill the seat behind the drums in due time. They’ll never be the same, but I don’t for a second think they will not carry on in honor of Taylor.

April 19, 20223 yr Dave is, and always has been, the Foo Fighters. If he decides to keep it going then they could replace Hawkins and not miss a beat (no pun intended, as it’s still way too soon). That said, it wouldn’t surprise me if he decided to end the band, or put it on a long hiatus. I can’t see them playing together, even just to jam, for a long time, and it’s going to be very difficult when they do. It’d also be very difficult for whoever they get to take Hawkins place, for a while anyway. One of the best parts about seeing them was how funny Dave is and I’d imagine that would be the last part to return.

April 19, 20223 yr I'd say he will put his time and energy into a new creation as part of the grieving process. Like he did the Sound City thing a few years back. Maybe another super group like Them Crooked Vultures or maybe he just tours and fills in playing for friends (Tenacious D for example)

Might not be for a while though.
April 19, 20223 yr Huge Foo fan.Have seen them several times. I think Grohl is going to spend a lot of time on solo stuff, or different projects. Will Foo ever play together again?.....idunno.... I'd lean towards no, but go with the never say never mantra. If they do come back, it likely wont be for a very long time..

April 20, 20223 yr They will do whatever they think honors Hawkins the best way. They could bring the tour back on next week for all we know or never again. We don't know what they are thinking or feeling about how to approach this.
June 8, 20223 yr They’re doing tribute concerts in London and LA. Hope that spurs them to get back out there https://www.foofighters.com/news/taylor-hawkins-tribute-concerts/

Then I started shopping flights and realized that those would cost, minimum, $3K, and an overnight flight. I’ll just have to keep hoping that they go on tour again someday.
