Wow, rip Neil Peart

[the other mike]

It's a xylophone, dude.

And their 30th anniversary was over 10 years ago.

I read where Neil Peart was very impressed with this kid and was delighted to see this.



A lot like how Robert Plant was impressed with this 8 year old girl doing her best of John Bohnam.



Liked it when Plant put his glasses on to get a better look.

That sucks.

I've seen Rush twice in concert during the Presto album. A lot of good music. Here are two of my favorites.

Caress of Steel was sort of their relatively progressive album imo, even though all their music
could really be considered prog rock.

On second thought, maybe Caress is where they became a prog rock band.

I'm ashamed to admit I haven't read any of Mr Peart's books,
but that just became one of my late New Years 'resolutions.

Welcome to the official website of Neil Peart

Still processing his passing. Saw Rush over 20 times & each time was fantastic! A Farewell to a King....RIP Pratt....

Not only the best drummer but one of the most thoughtful
songwriters.

His contribution to the drum industry is unprecidented.

I'm pretty sure Geddy Lee literally wore his voice out in the first 10 years of 300+ nights a year touring.

He not only inspired a multitude of followers to become drummers, you could say Neil was for Pearl drums, what Hendrix, Clapton, and Vaughan were for the Fender Strat.

I didn't mind Geddy's vocal transformation as much as Alex
getting lazy on guitar and relying too much on mediocre synthesizers....
he was great on the first ( I would say ) 4 albums, pretty good on the next few, but after Power Windows,
they were just disappointing to me. Neil probably mentions it somewhere in his books but I always wondered why he didn't move on to a more progressive jazz fusion project or something at least on the side.

Tend to believe the greatest drummer of all time was Buddy Rich.....



Honestly don't think Peart was as refined as Rich and I am betting he would have probably admitted that.

Truly amazing drummer

Another neat moment if you have not seen this.
