Neil Peart RIP

[m8]

They'll play again. Quit playing to honor their ill bandmate.

I think so too. The thing about Mike Portnoy joining them might have been a rumor but I think it'll happen eventually

Here Peart is exposed as being way less than adequate as he tries to play outside Rush.

Nah, nonsense. That would be like asking Buddy Rich to play Rush songs. Wouldn't know where to begin.

Totally different Genre.
My buddy from work is an amazing jazz drummer., sits in with a lot of the high end jazz bands.
He came over once to jam w/ our Rock band and was clueless. (His own words) and it showed.

Your buddy from work doesn't figure into the discussion. A real drummer is versed in all styles. Neil Peart knew he was a fraud and was honest about it, hence his taking up of drum lessons later in life. Buddy Rich could play Rush songs, no question about it.

In the simplest of terms, you haven’t a clue.

Did Peart blow a load on your mom on the Caress of Steel tour or something?

Guess you are also unaware that Buddy praised Neil’s talent and playing back when Peart was a young man. Said he was quite remarkable.

It’s why Rich’s family CHOSE Neil to helm the Burning For Buddy sessions. He was their first choice. They well know how much respect Rich had for Peart.

Just stop.

Peart bankrolled the project.

Best trolling I've seen on here in a while.

Are you high?

With all due respect to Buddy Rich, he wouldn't be able to find his way around this kit?  Not that he couldn't with practice, but he didn't.  Peart took drumming to a new level.  He incorporated so many sounds and tools into his playing to make his sound.  It's like electric guitar.  There's before Hendrix, and there's after Hendrix.

Hendrix is considered by some to be overrated and sloppy. I am certainly no fan.
