Nice to see him retiring after all these years, he had a good run. Though I will say I'm definitely not a fan, very overrated of a drummer in my eyes.

How exactly is he overrated? Where is this overrating coming from? It's not (for instance) from the the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum. It took Rush 30 years to get into the RnR HoF. Is it the fans? I think he worth every bit of respect given to him by his fans.

I'm not saying he's a bad drummer by any means, or worthy of the respect, but I get really tired of people claiming him to be the best drummer of all time and things like that, when clearly that's just a lack of knowledge of better drummers.
He's still a great drummer, just not the best. Sorry if I upset you, Nea.

Peart is easily in the top 5 most influencial rock drummers of the 70s.

Sad to see the news, but I'm glad that he didn't play to the point of embarrassing himself (cough, cough, Chuck Berry, cough). I'm glad that I got to see him live before he called it quits.

I'm not doubting that, in terms of influence he's pretty much only beaten by Bonham.

Keith Moon Billy Cobham Bill Bruford Carl Palmer Jim Gordon Chuck Berry damn near invented the whole genre of "rock" music. If he hasn't earned the right to play until he drops dead on stage then I don't know who has. |
