Steve 17 Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 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 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hukdonfoniks Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBW Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Omega Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mat Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might not be for a while though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain F Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 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..

I'm sick so my head is cloudy. I thought there was some legal issue with the songs or something. I thought TMZ snooping around was about some controversy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bwestbrook36 Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 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.

The_Omega Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 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/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll just have to keep hoping that they go on tour again someday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
