Neil Peart Dead

Strange, he died Tuesday and they're only announcing it now?

oh, that's tough. Didn't realize he was that old. He was easily my favorite drummer, listening to him was mesmerizing. My sister died from complications with brain cancer surgery, not a great way to go.

"The influential musician and lyricist died Tuesday in Santa Monica, Calif., after having been diagnosed with brain cancer, according to a statement issued Friday by family spokesperson Elliot Mintz.

His death was confirmed by Meg Symsyk, a media spokesperson for the progressive rock trio comprising Peart, Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson."

Geddy Lee talked about the amount of pain he was in during Rush's last tour. Terrible news, another piece of my teen years gone. Loved him.

Best live band ever.

Sad day. One of the best rock drummer's of all time.

This is sad news .

WHAT"S sad is in the next 10 years pretty much all the rock icons will be gone except for Keith Richards , he will never die .

How good of a drummer was Neil Peart? Listen to the delayed syncopations after the slow bridge. the only other drummers that could do that is John Bonham and Carmine Appice.

I'm in tears.

In my eyes the best rock drummer of all time

So sad. Cancer fucking sucks. I love Rush.My favourite band hands down.

R.I.P. Neil. There will never be another like you.

What a great concert that was. Probably my favorite concert ever. It was the Hemispheres tour.

One of the best drummers around. They compare him to Bonzo.

So sad , especially coming right after the death of Ginger Baker, another amazing and influential drummer. What he did on The Spirit of Radio was just mesmerizing. I think the most underrated Rush releases were GRACE UNDER PRESSURE and FEEDBACK.

Good interview...

I saw Rush on April 7 1983 (Quebec city) I was a teenager back then. Great ban and great artist he was.

The drum solo in YYZ on Exit Stage Left is a masterpiece.

Very sad news.

Nobody did delayed syncopation better. With Rick Mercer.

Syncopation battle Peart vs Bonham...Bonham had bricklayer forearms.

Peart's favorite car, the 1958 Ferrari Barchetta, he turned into a dystopian future.

Sad to see this today; along with Bonham and Moon one of the best.
