TimRam Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Death announced today. He was 67. One of the greatest (if not the greatest) drummers of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i-Ram Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Terrible news. Truly brilliant drummer, who endured more than his fair share of personal tragedy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comrade 86 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 I have notoriously poor choice in music (so a lot of my friends tell me anyway) and am a long way from being a Rush or Neil Peart aficionado. I came across the album during my teenage headbanger phase in a second hand vinyl shop in Notting Hill, a good 10 years or more after its release and it's the only Rush album I own or have listened to, I think. Short, operatic and explosive, I'd never heard anything like it before or since. This particular track has always been a go-to rock out tune for me and to this day I still absolutely ducking love it and I think I always will.

Bwash_Ram Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Very sad news. First saw Rush back in 1980 when i was a young whippersnapper, at Stafford Bingley Hall. It completely blew my mind , a truly life changing experience. Neil wasnt only an amazing drummer but also one of the greatest lyricists around, i think he also wrote some books. " Quick to judge , quick to anger, slow to understand Fear ignorance and prejudice Go together hand in hand " " Though his mind is not for rent Don't put him down as arrogant His reserve a quiet defense Riding out the day's events No, his mind is not for rent To any god or government Always hopeful, yet discontent He knows changes aren't permanent But change is " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
