SAD NEWS!!!

From The New Yorker, a tribute by staff writer Amanda Petrusich:

Quote

Until his death, Peart was considered by many to be the greatest living rock drummer; watching him play, it’s hard not to start thinking he possessed several phantom limbs. The sound was merciless.

The drummer who launched a million drummers.

 

I found out early Friday evening (from my wife).

The radio station called her from their hotline.  The band's publicist had confirmed the news.

 

Neil Peart's influence will live on for generations.

Rush my first concert when I was 15 years old.

Walked into the arena as they were starting Spirit Of Radio.

The performance, lights, and sound were amazing.

 

Some one recently called Neil the Ultimate Rock Craftsman.

I think that fits perfectly...

 

RIP Neil Peart

I saw them live in the 70's, then again 20 years later in the 90's. A couple of the most memorable live rock shows that I have ever seen. :D

The drum solo set that Neil performed during the latter show blew me away completely. Incomparable! Legendary!

R.I.P. Neil!
