Los Angeles Pays Respects To Taylor Hawkins
Wednesday, September 28, 2022 at 02:15PM
Like the UK version, there was a big Taylor Hawkins tribute concert last night in Los Angeles. Loads of famous musicians came out to show their support - including Nikki Sixx and Tommy Lee, who played some Motley Crue classics. Wolfgang Van Halen shredded some Van Halen hits again and Sebastian Bach was there too.
The show raised money for Music Support and MusiCares.
"Live Wire" Derek Day of Classless Act is singing.
"Home Sweet Home"
Wolfie - "Hot For Teacher"

I am also glad that they are raising money for two charities that hopefully make some sort of mark in making people's lives (and particularly their mental well-being) better.
I will leave it at that.

1> weezers drummer is a freaking beast!
@Him its ok to watch Phil he is covered up and not oily hah hah
my bet is pat smear is cool af as dana strum is from slaughter..change my mind :)
But acting as if he is some sort of music martyr is disturbing to me & upsets me to be perfectly honest. But that’s just me, I’m sure. Shall I go on about other “more important/influential” ppl whose deaths were basically completely ignored?
Besides, being disturbed by people celebrating a person's life after they have passed is, in itself, disturbing. Being disturbed about a person? Well, I get that. But a lot of people I don't/didn't like got ticker tape parades (figuratively). And that is down to them liking that person and me, well, not so much. Never been much for speaking ill of the dead, even if I have--plenty of times--spoken ill of those still living, based on _what_ they did, which I suppose relates to your ire (or anger, as you put it). So I sorta' kinda' see your point.
And, granted, you are allowed your upset, Bkallday. No doubt. But I don't think a tribute to him is a signal of endorsement for the whys and hows of his passing (and I am reading that into your post; so if I am wrong, apologies front and center). Another reason I didn't initially want to get into the nitty-gritty of all this. But, well, you all made me.
Crued, your post made me laugh. I guess I need to get over my issues, right?!?!
Now, moving on . . .
Matter of fact... I bet I could eat a bon bon right now.
Wait. I noticed the spacing. Perhaps he is just having a spasm, yelling out the name of the best singer from AC/DC. Still, not a bad thing. But I certainly wouldn't want to eat him/that, on a couch or otherwise.
The Crowd: Angus! Angus!
Bkallday: Bon! Bon!
