100% agreed. I was never the biggest fan of this song when it was first released, but holy shit this hits hard. This is a kid pouring everything that he has into this, and a group of eminently talented musicians that are in an equally fragile state all getting through it together.

16, sold out Wembley Stadium, video cameras all over the place, playing your dad’s song 5 months after his passing, being on stage with the Foo Fighters…. Tell me anyone who could of done that better… he absolutely killed it. The solo at the end was obviously not in the plan, Dave looks surprised, like “oh ok you are going there?” He probably rehearsed it but it was pulled in practice and this kid said nope, I’m doing it. 🤟🏻

Something lost is how this was a whole 6-hour show with an intense buildup to this cathartic release. Most of the performers there had also lost bandmates, something I didn't put together until later, but between that and the kids that were involved- from Violet Grohl singing Jeff Buckley (!) and Amy Winehouse, Roger Taylors' son Rufus somehow looking and sounding like Taylor, of course Wolfgang Van Halen absolutely slaughtering, and then to Shane... even Josh Homme's 5-year-old running out and grabbing his leg was a reminder of how fragile and precious life is even to these seemingly immortal rock gods. People also might forget that Foo Fighters itself was a cathartic exercise after the death of Kurt Cobain. And now 27 years later, coincidentally almost the same amount of time Cobain was on this planet, Dave himself is back there again and not only lost his best friend and brother in Taylor but lost his mom about six weeks earlier to this performance. So, the whole thing felt very "familiar" in the greater sense of the word. Obvious echoes of 1992 with the Freddie Mercury tribute on that very spot, echoes of 1994, but also very much family oriented. Sons, fathers, brothers, and heroes of musical and parental variety abound. It was all painfully beautiful.

Dave said in his book he was a "Neandrathal drummer". because he hits so hard. Taylor was like that as well yes. Shane is also one hell of a drummer.. I can't wait to see if he starts his own band or if he just plays to enjoy playing.

He is just 16. I have 4 boys and a girl. My husband died suddenly at only 45 a few years ago, and my mom died the same year. One of our older children was 16 and devastated. We were in a state of shock and fog the first 2 years. Just functioning was a struggle. That kind of grief shatters every part of you. The fact this kid can be so good and do this in front of a crowd that giant, who are singing for his dad, is beyond comprehension. Just performing in that setting most kids would choke. With the emotion that would take down most grown adults, I've never been so impressed in my life. He has made his dad so proud, and as my teen sons have said, "He will be able to date any girl in any high school in the world after this." lol. The term amazing is too often overused, but he earned it. This one hit me hard.

Even more than just a pallid ceremony, I believe this to be their true grieving. This song was raw.

I have seen more Shane Hawkins reaction videos than I care to admit, and this is by far the best one. You picked up on every detail of the performance, not just musically but perhaps more importantly on the emotional and human side of it. I agree, this performance is already a pretty historic performance. I cannot recall the last time I saw a drummer leave every single bit of their heart in a single song to this extent. You could hear and see the emotion driving him along... the restless left foot... the expression on his face... the sheer savagery of how he hit those drums. And at the same time, just CRUSHING the delivery. What a performance and what a reaction video. I am now a subscriber.

This kid put every bit of his anger, rage, and grief into that performance. But oh my goodness that last fill, to be played in front of a stadium full of people, and with men who would walk through fire for you, how cathartic must that have been for him? He’s got a huge future if he wants it!

I love that Omar Hakim is right there at the side of the stage supporting Shane. You can see his bald head when the camera cuts to the back of stage. It's that kind of subtle support and unity that proves how special this moment was. Great video Michael - that was raw dude

😭💭 At 10:50 when Shane kisses his dad's drums..I tear up instantly❤ And the way Dave looks at Shane throughout the whole song as if to say.. It's ok buddy, I'm right with you..is so precious and heartwarming❤❤❤💔💔💔

Watching Shane just pour it all out onto that kit gets me every time. I can't watch this performance without crying.

Watching this live, I immediately noticed how the band was taking care of Shane in this moment, making sure he was locked it. I was impressed with them, but more impressed with his ability to recognize it and make his adjustments. I can’t imagine playing in front of 80k thousand people, let alone at a memorial concert for my dad, who passed just months earlier. If he keeps it up, we might have a superstar on our hands.

I'm not the biggest Foo Fighters fan, but My Hero is one of my favourite songs of all time. There is something absolutely special about seeing drummers just play their heart out like that, strangely moved after seeing Shane absolutely own that.

Shane took everything has been feeling for the last 4 months and just poured it into those drums. What a moment! That was the best part of the night, definitely the healing we all needed.

The best part of this whole thing was Dave guiding Shane to the tempo. I noticed it the first time I watched it and it gives me goosebumps. Shane freaking rocks. Did his dad proud.

I saw someone say this on the original video, but worth mentioning here, all that nervous energy, and the pain, he grieved on that drum set, and I'm sure it was such a relief for him to play it out for his dad like that. He will remember this day for the rest of his life. He absolutely killed it.

Hey Michael. That was one of the best reactions I’ve seen … to anything. New subscriber here. I’m not a guitarist or musician and I hadn’t known about your channel previously. But I’m a huge Foo Fighters fan and I caught a lot of the tribute concert online and have been watching reactions to this particular video throughout the week. Your musician’s eye caught a lot of the nuances that many miss and made this even more enjoyable. Plus, your ability to relate as a father yourself was terrific. I finished Dave’s book a while ago and have a lot of respect for him as a person. As a parent and accomplished musician, I don’t know if you’ve ever heard of The Warning - a trio of young sisters who play hard rock music. They opened for Foo Fighters in Mexico City just a week before Taylor passed in March 2022 and he and Dave had a ton of praise for them. Since you just honored Taylor (and Shane and Dave) with your terrific reaction, I think you might be interested in this. Here is a link to a song they premiered that night called “Money” … kzread.info/dash/bejne/qKFrmq2pddqZpdo.html.

For a very fleeting moment in time, everyone had Taylor back through his son! You can tell as much as everyone needed that he needed that even more, even the emotion of anger was so obvious, not anger anger but damn dad you’re gone and I’m here and you’re not.. like life isn’t ever going to be the same without you dad and I’m mad but for 4-5 minutes you’re energy is in me and I’m giving everything you’re giving me back to your fans and to your family The Foo Fighters!!

Shane is a natural and nailed it. His Dad's was with him in that moment, it gives me chills.

Michael, I know how much this moved you. I know you aren’t one to typically spices up your dialogue. In this case, you were freaking real and it’s heartfelt and appreciated. Hope this kid goes on and becomes all he can be. While I have watched the video dozens of times, I truly appreciate your emotional response. Rock on, my friend!

Easy to miss, but at 10:49 he kisses the snaredrum before going out with a bang. Such a touching moment.

This is the most precious, sweetest, heartbreaking, badass thing I’ve ever seen.. definitely up there with the Freddie Mercury tribute of 1992 same stadium and that is saying a lot.. I feel like a proud auntie. I just wanna hug him and feed him soul food lol

I saw someone point out in the official posting of this performance that towards the end of the song during the breakdown, you can see he broke his right stick! He really put his all into this performance!

I was there and it was incredibly moving and still is. I’m not sure I’ll ever really get over what I experienced that day. I love music so much more than I ever did and didn’t think that was possible

The crowd was doing its level best to fill Shane's heart with love and support.

I have watched this so many times now, goosebumps everytime

For someone like me who doesn’t play an instrument, it was cool to hear you point out those things and basically educate me. I am now a subscriber!

I love your passion, and willingness to share your family experiences. That's what lif's all about, brother!

I remember Dave constantly looking back at Taylor throughout the concerts, half the time like they were the only two there playing for each other and watching this whole concert he rarely looked back at the drummer that was sitting in with them (probably the one he looked back at the most was Rufus Taylor but even then it was only a few times) but he checked back with Shane just as much as he would his father. He was clearly just as swept away with it as we were watching. He was just as proud as Taylor would have been in that moment!

Love this Michael! As a dad of a 14 year old drummer, this is amazing to see and so emotional-Shane is a beast- def tapping into his dad’s energy and spirit. 🔥🔥🔥

Id like to say thank you to the Wembley audience. They never disappoint. Beautiful ❤

I shared this with my son who was in a band and taught himself how to play guitar! He was/is excellent. I’m such a proud mom. He’s 24 now. He still plays, but not in a band. Now he works and owns a pizzeria working 70 hours a week. I hope he gets back into music again. I know he misses it.

This reaction is possibly my favorite reaction of all time. So sad and amazing at the same time. But you genuine enthusiasm makes it so much more

I don't think there is any better feeling as a parent than seeing your child devolp and grow. Shane shows an appriciation for his father in the best possible way and also shows that family is far more than blood.

I can't even imagine the emotions Shane felt not only playing but that explosion of adrenaline that hit him as soon as he stood up and left stage, unreal.

My Son, for his 10th birthday (7/29/11) asked to see the Foos on 7/30/21 in Milwaukee as his birthday present. I said HELL YES! After watching Taylor that night he is now learning the drums. It crushed him when Taylor passed. we both watched this in AWE! Your review is the best!

I've watched dozens of reactions to this performance, and yours is the best. It's so so good to know there are people like you out there Michael. From a perspective of a rock & Roll dad who connects musically with his own sons. You can truly understand what Shane must have been going through. God bless you.

I have seen a lot of reaction vids in my day but this was the one that got to me the most. Maybe because I am a father too, I don' t know, but it goes directly to my heart. I see this kid drumming the hell out of everything. Shane, I feel it. Thank you.

Long time watcher, first time comment (I think). This might be my favourite video you've ever uploaded. There's something about being shown something by a connoisseur. When someone who is completely invested in something can show you their excitement, it's something else. Watching Michael get so pumped was amazing. What a performance by Shane!

I loved seeing your reaction as a dad. In that moment we all felt a sense of paternal pride, reflecting a fraction of what Taylor must have felt.

Shane is only 15/16 years old. This is properly amazing in every way possible!

I'm not a Dad but even I felt that 'Dad pride' that everyone on that stage, in that audience, watching at home, And clearly yourself felt watching this.

16, 90,000 people in the stadium, a tribute to his father - it was an amazing performance. I really feel for him & for Dave. Dave's lost two very important band members and it's a testament to his inner strength and ability to keep playing.

As a dad and a rocker this moved me... Just amazing.

Brilliant breakdown, watched the clip a few times but you pointing out the little things Dave and band do to help Shane throughout is really helpful.

Best reaction I’ve seen to this video. I was very very lucky to be there at Wembley for the show and everyone was on their feet for this and singing at the top of our lungs. Not just for the Taylor or the Foos but for Shane too. Felt like the whole crowd was behind him. Something I’ll never forget

I have no idea how I haven’t seen this reaction before. Michael, I don’t play a damn thing, but I love your videos because they help me see music through the eyes of the musicians. That said , this is probably my favorite video of yours just because of your enthusiasm and intensity for the magnitude of the performance. Thanks for doing these.

I have watched this so many times and I cry each time, both in sadness and joy. This 16 year old brave man put everything he had playing this for his dad, himself, his family, the bad, and the fans. What an amazing performance and person. I hope he knows his dad was watching and is so proud of him. Shane, thank you for this….we needed this just as much as you did.

As a drummer myself, I can validate this unquestionable fusion of energy and emotions that a great rock song (like this one) does to the state of mind and the emotional healing process when you play it. I have found myself lost it in the waves of emotion crying while hitting my system with such incomparable power many times...I simply love it!

Everyone needs to see this. Shane Hawkins was so impressive and truly made my day. His Dad was truly honored by this son's tribute.

This was phenomenal and heartbreaking. I knew I could come here and you would react to it in a way that only you could. Such an amazing moment! Such a way to honor your father. Taylor would have loved this. Because a couple of years ago he was saying his son was very good at drums. But his son didn't really care about the drums. He wasn't commited. He knew beats, but couldn't play full songs. He told him he's not a drummer until he can play songs. Shane wasn't really interested in getting into it like that. Now the kid cares so much and wants to be a drummer just like his dad. Which is amazing! So many powerful things wrapped up in this preformance. Thanks Michael!

I’ve seen this clip several times already and it still makes me tear up. What a moment, what a young man, gotta love rock and roll.

Between Micheal’s reaction and the emotion of the arena and Hawkins . One of the best videos Ever !

I was there. Without doubt the best 6 hours of my life. I thought the stadium was going to fall apart during that song. Every beat went through me! Whatever shane decides to do in life he will do it with so much support from all over the world. To stay so grounded infront of 90,000 fans is nothing short of incredible. It was an emotional night buy I’m glad I got there. Time may be a healer but my god the loss of Taylor is just devastating for so many people for so many different reasons. Seeing the rest of the band once again was like the first plaster being put onto a huge wound! We will find our voices again some day! Stay safe people 🤙🦅🦅🤙

This was my favourite moment of the whole show, and I love this video as well, I cannot wait for my little dude to get older and discover the joy and power of rock music

@@pokpokthepok2146 I did. It's one of the most awesome things I've seen.

So many moments in this show...but this was the best. How this 16 year old didn't destroy the kit is beyond me. About the 20th time I've seen it and the emotion still gets me.

I watched the whole show live and with both Foo Fighters & Taylor as my favorites, I could not have asked to feel…really FEEL anything more cathartic than this songs performance. I cried, I sang along and I swelled with every emotion under the sun. Thank you for covering this, you’re spot on the whole way. All my love brother. -Aaron

He has his own Band...He is soooooo talented

Glad to watch this for the first time with you.

I don't know if I love the performance or your reaction more! Watching you get so excited you just let your emotions and the f-bombs fly is THE BEST kind of reaction. And when you talked about the band being family-like and in tune with each other to stay together you were so spot on. When a group has that chemistry it is magical, I've been there in Jazz combo's before.

Best reaction I’ve seen! I can’t quit watching this for so many reasons, Shane Hawkins losing his dad. I may be wrong, but, he’s 16 ? Comes out in front of 90k people, playing his dad’s tour kit, to “ My Hero” leans down and kisses the Snare just before his solo, and sends this song into the stratosphere! I’m a big FF Taylor Hawkins ~RIP~🥁♥️ fan, and DEFINITELY A SHANE HAWKINS FAN FOREVER. Shane you’re a superstar man! 🎶🎶🥁🎶🎶💪💪👏👏👏🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟☮️💟

Your reaction was amazing. It was exactly how I felt when I saw this. Shane is only 16 years old. I'm not even a huge FF fan, but I have huge respect for them. If you don't feel any reaction to this performance you are not a music lover and most likely not human.

I had no idea that there had been a tribute concert when the video of Shane playing showed up in my playlist. For the next 5 minutes, I had tears streaming down my face. Then when I saw that WVH had played earlier? It connected so many dots for me.

14 years old here what ove heard. If so holy fak! The composure . Nuts. Whatever this young man takes on he will demolish. Be it a drummer, doctor, engineer. Atta boy!

Speechless and full of so much emotion at the same time. This is what music and rock and roll is all about. Glen

My emotions all over the place every time I watch this kid. 16 years old. His talent is profound. I know the band and families and his Father is so so proud.
