Neil Peart Dead at 67

Passed away from brain cancer. So sad. This was my idol by far, seen them something like 19 times

He was an absolute legend, Bob. Very sad news.

 

What a great drummer! RIP

 

Ew damn. Rush was always legendary.

 

They were. I have seen them 19 times from Hemispheres to R40.

And my humorous thread on YYZ

I saw them live years ago. The guy was amazing.

 

A bit late but yes, that was a bummer. One of the best drummers in rock history. As most know he also wrote the lyrics for Rush. And he was a very kind person (at least from what you can see on YouTube) even if he was battered by fate.

 

I happen to be watching a Rush interview right now. My biggest inspiration for 40 years. I've even forgiven them for contributing to my hearing damage...

 

I really like Rush. Saw them live in London 2013. Neil Peart was legendary.

Rush made really interesting music. The more you hear it, the better it gets, I think. Very original band.

Now I listen to old Rainbow albums in the background , along with tinnitus .. well, I hang on.. Music helps!!

 

Rainbow Rising! RJD greatest voice in heavy rock /metal also passed away of cancer at the same age. I still listen to music and my 7.1 home theater. I do not find it affects much. I go to the gym 4 to 5 days a week no hear plugs. One thing I have learned is tinnitus is going to do what it's going to do no matter what.
