My god Shane looks so different now from the tribute concert for Taylor. Time passes so quickly. He is his father’s son to be sure. Rest in Peace Oliver Taylor Hawkins. You are missed.
No where near best band on the planet 😂😂 newest album was rubbish all down hill now for them I’m afraid, they’ll still put on a good show for a few years but that’s about it.
I have seen all of Shane's performances with the Foos. I think this is the loudest I have ever heard the drums on this song EVER, including his dad's playing. Freaking phenomenal.
Only as a community can we help keep that a truth. I believe he has a greater sense of responsibility than we expect him to have Taylor was brilliant and a great father
At the end when Dave puts his hands over his heart and looks up to the sky ❤ saw Shane play at the tribute concert…his drumming is just getting better and better! Phenomenal Shane!!!!!
Shane looks like his mom, the mannerisms of his dad, hits hard just like his dad and Dave but he is own person. Either way his talent is fostered by the best. I look forward to his future and evolution. Yes T is looking down and proud af but let’s not forget Shane is Shane and no one else. ❤
I actually think he looks so much like his dad when he was around that age. He’s even built up like him. 😂 But, he definitely has his beautiful mama’s eyes. I feel like people have sort of a complex not wanting him to be compared at all to his dad because it’s natural that so many people will do that and they don’t want Shane’s identify to be compromised with the constant correlation to his dad, but he really does undeniably favor him. Nevertheless, he is certainly his own person and paving his own way. An incredible drummer with similarities to both his dad and Dave, but distinctly his own flare. I agree..Shane is Shane and I’m super excited to see him continue to shine and forge his own path in music or in whatever he wishes to do. He’s one awesome young man! ❤
Well done for filming the highlight of the evening unbelievable. When dave looked at him after the crowd had sung on their own he mouthed OMG... then ripped it up on the end solo. I had a tear or two in my eye and a lump in my throat. What a night 🤟
Love this! Dave was our neighbor on Hollywood Beach in Ventura county few years back, it was his beach house and anytime he was there with his wife & girls he was the nicest guy down to earth funny as hell and just a really cool dude. We hated seeing him sell the beach house but we got memories for a life time . Your a good man dave and we miss you in the hood🤙⛵🏄
Shane is the sometime drummer for his dad's side project band Chevy Metal. Foos aren't dumping Josh Freese. Shane will go places with his own band one day, whether it's his band or he joins a band.
All of his FOO DADS and DAVE! Shane is a cross between T and Dave on drums and lots of SHANE HAWKINS. That was beautiful ❤ Dave sitting in his knees watching was everything called LOVE! Pat and Nate Smiling my heart is melting.
The look in Dave's eyes as he looked to Shane to start. Like, ok son, just like we practiced..... and to see some in the audience in tears... right in the feels😢
Thanks for posting this, it was an incredible show, and emotional in many parts throughout the evening with Shane, Dave’s acoustic version of Under You, Violet and Dave together and then Aurora, just wow!
Not trying to downplay Josh Freese's skills, but please bring Shane to NY and Hershey Park next month! It was really special to see them play together live at my first ever Foo Fighters concert at Boston Calling last year. Would love to see it again live, even just for My Hero!! This one really hit home.
My god he is so talented !! Talented , aggressive drummer . He does look so much like Taylor that it kinda breaks my heart to see sometimes ! 😍 Excellent musician
Crazy how he’s grown. He looks so much like his dad when he was a teen, only with his mama’s eyes. His mannerisms are just like him too. 🥹 Such a phenomenal drummer at 16, almost 17 years old. Can’t wait to see where his talent takes him in the future because he’s certainly got “IT”! ❤️
Pat Smear is the goat. Laid back, having fun, turns his guitar and picks just a little harder when Shane started falling off time, stops and claps for the kid after a crazy solo. Amazing to see Shane hold a special place in a band that truly is there to support him.
Highlight of the night for me. I saw Shane do this at the Tribute gig and thought he was better than some of the old pros. Last night though, omg. I never had the privilege of seeing Taylor play live, but it really felt like I did last night. His energy and dedication to drumming is absolutely hereditary, coz Shane is just amazing to watch. Couldn't take my eyes off him for the whole song.
Shane looks like his dad back there, not a technical yet, but he hits the drums hard like his Uncle Dave. He will be the next FF drummer when he's ready.
@user-vq3wx1pz4v I agree. I think he needs some time to grow up and hone his talents, coz let's face it, he's still only 17, but I'm sure if the Foos are still going in 5-10 years and Josh steps down, they'll offer it to him at least. In the meantime, he's having fun drumming in his dad's old band Chevy Metal. It'd be cool if Dave et al got Chevy Metal to play as a supporting artist on their next tour for a few dates though, give him a proper taste of touring life, without the full weight of doing a whole world tour. Then he can decide if he's ready to do it full time.
As much as it’s great seeing Shane with the FF’s i think everyone needs to give him time and a bit of space to grow up the way he wishes too and not just what everyone else seems to want him to be.. Be careful what you wish for as they say, show him the luv and respect yes but let him define himself.. Having Dave around to turn too i’m sure is a massive thing for Shane and for Dave also eg vice versa but he will only ever have one real Dad and what a great Dad he was too..
Thank you so much for sharing!! What a sick view you had!! Shane is incredibly talented and everyone seems to have a blast. You can feel the love between them. It's so great to see the band like that after all they have been trought lately. And what a crowd! Amazing😊 i really hope shane will be their regular drummer one day. A beautiful moment and a beautiful video you have there. Thanks again!😉
I was there on both Thursday and this one on Saturday. I had a lovely vantage point on Sat, opposite from when you filmed this. I could see Shane collapsing down the steps at the back and those that can lip read will know I’m omitting a few expletives, but it was on the lines of “omg, what just happened”.
Thanks so much for sharing this ❤ Would be cool to have Shane reappear at times in the future, but having seen Josh Freese live recently, not to mention his brilliant interview with Rick Beato, he is the best drummer for the Foos by a mile. I think we can agree they all rock though. 🤘❤️ Oh, and to the guy at 3:50, I feel you dude 🤗
OMG!!! Shane is his Dad made over and he is a True Hero!!! Keep Shane playing he is a legend like his Dad Taylor Hawkins!!! Memory Eternal Taylor!!!❤️🕯️❤️🙏❤️💯
Holy fuck that kid is an absolute nail gun behind the kit. Wow. Epic weight and precision. He’s like the old man with a big of Dave. He hits harder than Dave I think. Beautiful
3 guitars and Dave Grohl singing loud and you can hear every whack on every drum from Shane, and that drum solo was beyond phenomenal. i wouldnt mind seeing Shane become the new FF drummer because honestly theres no better replacement.
