Neil Peart RIP

[incrementalg]

Oh man. This is really sad news. Rest In Peace, Neil.

I’m legitimately heart broken.

 

[Anduin]

Such a loss.

Huge influence on me and thousands more.

Shocked.

Stunned.

Such a loss to me, to music, to Canada, and to the world.

 

[Jbravo]

Love Rush or not (I do) the man is a legend, and a huge loss to our craft.

Blessings to Neil. We are grateful for the notes you played, and the space between the notes too.

 

[Old Dog new Cans]

Wow. So sad. One of my all time favorites. He will be missed.

 

[Xstr8edgtnrdrmrX]

well. I am done. No reason to go on. He was pretty much the driving force of my being what I am today...

I knew this was coming, but figured it would be another 10 years.

Hearts out to Lerxt and Bytor, and all of Rush nation!!!

While I was never a big fan of Rush, I always felt this was an absolutely beautiful song:

RIP Neal. There is unrest in the forest for sure ☹

[Bo Eder]

[mikyok]

Glad I had the pleasure twice. This year sucks already!

Sleep tight big guy

 

[supermac]

My favourite ever player. A fan for 40 years now. I'm very sad.

 

[rogue_drummer]

I just had a friend text me he passed. Still can't believe it. Gotta say, I teared up a bit. Loved his drumming.

 

[Drumprof]

I’m shocked! What a loss for us brothers.

 

[Tcat69]

This one stings. Will be missed.

Wow! Neil Peart was my first inspiration as a teenager in the late 70s just getting serious on the drums. I eventually moved on to jazz but always remembered that influential album, "Exit Stage Left". The YYZ transcription I posted I didn't quite figure out until years later, after realizing I had it wrong for a couple of decades. Not grossly wrong, but wrong nonetheless. But the birth of that transcription came from hours rewinding a microcassette recorder on slow speed LOL.

Anyway, I first saw Rush in concert at the Birmingham Civic Center in the late 80s. Then a second and last time at the Portland Moda Center in 2015 for their R40 Tour.

R.I.P. Neil Peart!

 

[Drumprof]

I’m absolutely in shock.
We we’re so fortunate to have the pleasure of having him in our art form.

 

[DaleClark]

This is truly shocking and sad. I've been a huge fan for over 40 years. A year or two back I said a couple of things about Neil on this forum I truly regret now. A true professional. I feel for his wife and Daughter. Plus, I believe both his parents are still living. All that tragedy in the late 90's and now this. Such a sad situation.

 

[Tamaefx]

Shocking news. It’s very sad. 67,,,
