This is a video of Taylor Hawkins’ 16-year old son Shane playing the drums on Foo Fighters’ ‘My Hero’ during a recent tribute concert to his late father in London. He is definitely his father’s son. Even having never seen him before, I could have easily picked him out of
This is a video of the 1000-musician strong Rockin’ 1000 assembled for a concert in Paris and performing Queen & David Bowie’s 1981 banger ‘Under Pressure’. Sure the original was performed by only six musicians, but another 994 can’t hurt, right? Or maybe it takes 1,000 people in order to

This is a video of a young Björk Guðmundsdóttir singing ‘Cork The Bitch’s Arse’ as lead singer of punk band Tappi Tíkarrass during a 1982 performance at the Western Melavellinum in Reykjavík, Iceland. She really is a joy to watch on stage — such a presence. Unrelated but also kinda
