As If my night can't get any worse.
So sad,
Amazing wonderfully talented drummer.
Adored and inspired so many and I'm not a drummer.
I know my fellow rock brothers on Who will be gutted.
Rip Neil.
Farwell to a King.

Heard 'Bastille Day' when I was a thirteen year old, bought the 'Caress of Steel' album and never looked back. Rush are still one of my favourite bands albeit I prefer their earlier stuff, probably because I grew up with it. RIP Neil, both my favourite drummer AND lyricist ;-(

Just thought, I bet he carried on writing as long as he was able to.
Preparing myself for a posthumous book that could be a wee bit emotional.

A terrible loss of an amazing drummer and lyricist.
40 years later I can still recall the out-of-this-world buzz I got on hearing 2112 for the first time.
Anyway, how DOES Geddy Lee's voice get so high? (One for those WHO old-timers still on the forum)...

If you listen to later Rush compared to early, Geddy's voice changed massively. To the point where more recently they detuned half a step for Temples of Syrinx live, as I assume he couldn't get close to singing it in the pitch they recorded it.

Start with Ghost Rider. If you like that, you'll like the others.
