    Goddamit.

    Genuine downer here.
    In school, when I was a confused Kid, 2112 live...Exit Stage Left, the drumming made me say “feck it’ and not care about saying what I wanna say.
    Philosophy I took forward done me no harm in Adulthood.

    Christ...
    Truly...enjoy every sandwich.

    One of the greatest drummers of all time in one of the greatest bands. A truly gifted and nice guy. He will be certainly missed by many.

    Heard about this last night. I will be having a rush afternoon, probably farewell to kings, 2112, and then hemispheres.

    +1 for the selection - at their best. Would also include a side of caress of steel too - some awesome drumming on there.
