So deeply saddened to hear about Taylor Hawkins. Only 50 years old. So very young & so much more to do. Although I never met Taylor, He always seemed to be so genuine & sincere & I respected that. May God bless the entire Hawkins family, the band and friends & fans worldwide🙏

Everytime I post something about a “secular” band I get grief for it from the Christian base. I grew up on VH, Priest, Maiden, Scorps. That’s what makes me who I am. I’m devoted to God yet He built me to have an open mind and heart with a love for metal. That will never change🙏

We couldn’t survive without them. This isn’t the 80’s any longer. We survived then based on album sales and of course ticket/merch sales. Now, album sales are down and in order to tour we depend upon M&G’s. We always make it affordable and worth every penny🙏 Respect @MikePortnoy
