I always considered him one of the "holy trinity of rock and roll drummers" which would also include Keith Moon and John Bonham.

I concur. And when Ginger Baker - whom we lost in October - had nothing good to say about Moon, Bonham or Mitch Mitchell (compared to himself), he didn't stoop to damning Neil Peart.

I saw Peart in concert on Rush's 40th anniversary tour, and took my son along. I'm not sure he remembers it, but I'll never forget. RIP.

He was also active in the 24 Hours of LeMons racing scene. A real loss.

He was also the lyricist of Rush, and a lot of what he wrote spoke directly to me.

God what Alex and Getty must be feeling, having lost the "new guy"
