Wow. Can't stand rush with a passion but loved his drumming skill.

Just read this too...sad but cool to have been a rockstar since the 70's. An actual "Rockstar", not just a title.

Cancer sucks.

Best wishes to his wife and young daughter.

That sucks, cancer takes another. That guy inspired me to make some changes in my life, his story after his wife and child died within a few months of each other is amazing. Said fuck it and hopped on his BMW and rode the globe for two years, no cel phone, just walked away for two years. The band waited for him to get through it. Read his book, its a great read, also the Netflix special about them is very well done.

Ive only read Ghost Rider, I need to get the others. I read it when my wife was sick with cancer, helped me greatly to reshape the priorities in my life.

Ghostrider. My favorite book. Probably read it 5 times.

God damn it. This bugs me right up there Kind of close to Randy Rhodes. Saw him just before he passed away and I’m glad I saw the last Rush concert in Vegas.

Shame in you :D start with Ghost Rider
Actually, I have to retract that partially....I started Ghost Rider and was a little bit in, put it down for whatever reason, but it’s as if I haven’t read any.

Nonetheless I’ll start it over. I picked up all the other books a few years ago and look forward to those. I’m a huge fan of Rush and motorcycles so it goes hand in hand. He was a brilliant man.

I’m not going to lie, this one is hitting me hard. I have worshipped RUSH for 40 years. One of the biggest goals in my life was to meet all 3 of them... That will never happen now and I’m sad.:(:(:(

Not sure I've shed a tear over a musician or celebrity before, so today was a first. I knew something was up when my phone started getting flooded with text messages. It's really hard to put into words how much these guys meant to me. Today the world lost the best drummer ever.

Grads, I’m with you. This has had a major impact on me. I’m gonna say that a farewell to kings is my album, with 2112 a close second. I know that 2112 is your jam.
