It was great growing up and always listening to Neil Peart's drumming. Never got tired of Rush or Neil's drumming. He was not only the best drummer ever but one of the kindest souls to many people.

RIP

Here's a rare, cool pic of Peart with drummer Peter Kriss of KISS.

Back in the day, I thoroughly enjoyed zoning out to "the trees" and Xanadu.

They had already announced they were done touring after the 2015 tour. After 40+ years who could blame them?

Too young to get the chance to see Zep. I did atleast get to see Rush a few times.

I still remember my first Rush concert. Back in `89 at the Forum in LA . These guys were truly something to see in concert, and the sound was tight and precise just as you'd hear on the radio. Peart was one of the best drummers out there..
