Ryan's Riff: Remembering Taylor Hawkins

Can you guess which Foo Fighters song he's playing?

It was a huge night of celebration for the late Taylor Hawkins as a glittering line-up of rock and pop stars dazzled the crowd at the L.A. Forum in memorial of the former Foo Fighters drummer.

Some of musical combinations Wednesday night were breathtaking.

Pink performed “Somebody To Love” with members of Queen; Alanis Morissette strutted “You Oughta Know”; and Matt Cameron, Kim Thayil, Krist Novoselic, Taylor Momsen, Pat Smear and Dave Grohl covered Soundgarden’s “Black Hole Sun.”

Grohl, Nate Mendel, Chris Shiflett, Smear and Rami Jaffee came together with a whole host of other artists and Hawkins’ family to celebrate the life, music and love of their husband, father, brother and bandmate.

As you'd expect, Ryan from 104.7 The Lizard, is also paying and playing his tribute to Hawkins.

Watch the video and see if you know which Foo Fighters song he's strumming.
