RIP Neil Peart

Sad... The best drummer that I have ever seen. Was able to see them three times in their prime and they always rocked. RIP.

Solo

No one could lay down beats like Neil. Great songwriter as well.  Alot of tragedy in his life.

wow, that sucks!! Changed the way drums were used i. rock. A true rock legend lost . Btw, anyone know who one of his big influences were back in the 70’s? None other than the drummer from Genesis, Phil Collins:

To plagarize the famous New Orleans newspaper headline:

Expletive
Expletive
Expletive.

Brain cancer.. that is too damn cruel.  That's how his first wife died.

Here's a "reaction" video of two guys called Lost In Vegas hearing La Villa Strangiato for the first time.  They'd already done (and liked) YYZ, Working Man, The Spirit Of Radio, and 2112, but their comments here are both insightful and hilarious (watch George at the 15 minute mark) as to the appeal and influence of Rush.
