    Perhaps the greatest rock drummer ever. He grew up in the city in which I live. Home of the real Lakeside Park.

    Not a rush fan, but he was probably one of the best drummers to ever live.

    very sad about neil peart. i was lucky in the 80's to have seen them standing at the sound and lighting board.my friend did the lighting.  it was a real great experience. he was an incredible drummer. some one whose style cannot be replaced. probably why they stopped touring. he apparently was a very private person and probably didn't want this to get out. on their last show he came out from his drum kit for the first time ever at the end to say goodbye with his band.

    You have to figure Pearl Jam are Rush fans.

    Terrible. So grateful to have seen a show with him drumming out if his mind. Legend.

    Not too sure about that. I don’t think Rush was too influential on the Seattle music scene as they were a progressive rock act.  In fact, I remember and interview where Kim Thayil said Mark Arm called Soundgarden the “Rush of Seattle” at one time sarcastically as Arm was j own to do. Kind of a shot if you will. 
    Thayil said he responded “what? I don’t even have any of their records” and laughed. 

    I will say, even people who hate Rush will say they are amazing musicians.  I am a huge Rush fan and have 2112 on the turntable right now. RIP Neil.

    100%

    Geddy Lee was sitting on stage (with the sound guys) at one of the last PJ Toronto shows. And in a different Toronto show Eddie name-checked him in a Wishlist line.

    I never thought I'd get news like this on the PJ forum.  

    Died Jan 7th Brain cancer. So sad. Life is a precious gift.

    This might explain why Ged n Alex have done nothing publicly in music together in past 5 years.

    Respecting a fellow musician and being a fan/influence are two different things. All I’m saying. 
    You don’t hear Rush being played on Sirius as an influence but the Stones, Neil Young, Beatles, Zeppelin, the Who, etc. are played constantly.  

    If they are fans, I will happily stand corrected. 🤙.  The early 90s alternative scene was all railing against the “pretentious” rockers with the huge drum sets and wild stage shows... 
    I saw Gene Simmons sitting in the close in 100 level section during the last LA show at the old Sports Arena.

    I forgot about that and I was there. Little stoned I suppose. Ed mentioned him, maybe more than once during the show. Didn't somebody play a few bars of a Rush song too??

    Wild stage shows, like using the lighting rig as a monkey bar set? ;-)

    Rip Neil.... really sad news

    Rush had nothing to do with the 80's and 90's big hair bands. Actually many artists talk about being influenced by Rush. Love both bands.
