My son just told me this. RIP Neil. For my money the greatest drummer who ever lived.

OMG!!! That is a freaking weekend ruiner. Going to listen to Tom Sawyer now.

I just heard this. Whether you liked Rush or not, he was the best drummer ever in my opinion. I was fortunate to see them live 5 times and his solos were always amazing.

 

[JohnnyTheFox]

Cant believe what I just read, RIP and prayers for his family as well as By-Tor and the Snow Dog.
Think I may light up one and listen to La Villa Strangiato tonight.

Not only was he a talented drummer but an amazing lyricist.
RIP.

I'm as big a John Henry Bonham fan as there's ever been and even I can't call him better than Peart. As good of a drummer as he was, he may have been an even better song writer. Canada may completely close today. Those folks have hockey and Rush. Sad day.

I remember my younger brother kept telling me about this great drummer and of course I didn’t pay any attention to him. I first gave 2112 a spin and was floored. A tremendous talent Rip.

I prefer the studio version, but thank you very much!

 

[YosemiteSam]

Not a Rush fan, but he was a fantastic drummer. RIP

You're right. I despise Rush, but much respect for Peart....Explains why I had to keep changing the station today.

 

[Crazed Liotta Eyes]

One of their best songs.

I prefer the studio version, but thank you very much!

To be perfectly honest their studio work IS amazing.

That just happens to be my favorite version.

Neil was a motorcycle enthusiast as well...

That album was the first Rush one I listened to and it had a profound effect on me. My older brothers turned me on to the good stuff from a young age and I'll always be grateful for that.

Wow, terrible. RIP Neil.

Yes he was, he didn't waste of his time here on planet earth I can tell you that.

Their style wasn't for everyone but there was no denying how talented they were as musicians and they were definitely unique. Geddy on the bass and keyboards, Alex on the guitar and of course Neil on the drums.

RIP Neil.

I just heard the news. I'm speechless. One of my favorite bands of all time has lost the best drummer ever.

I'm a drummer and he was my hero and inspiration.
