Neil Peart - Dead at 67

[baller21]

Rush without Peart would have been an average band. Just listen to Tom Sawyer, his drumming made that song great.

Bummer, way too young.

Neil Peart was Rush. By far my favorite drummer of all time. I’m embarrassed at the amount of time I’ve spent air drumming to him.

He's honestly the only member of rush i knew by name and sight.

I know Rush has a reputation (and not entirely undeserved at times) for silly lyrics, but when Peart was on, he was on. This song becomes more and more heartbreaking every year. The bell tolls for thee, everyone.

That reminds me of this scene from Freaks and Geeks of what people think they sound like vs reality.


The artistry of the instrumentation in rush is undeniable....but once Geddy Lee starts singing I’m out.

Geddy is the reason I don't like rush
