Sad news.
I was fortunate to see Rush live in Vancouver on the Roll the Bones tour, maybe 1993/4.
Bucket list moment.
Stunning virtuoso drummer in power trio of virtuosos.
Some artists/musicians are instantly recognizable due to their technique, sound or style, Neil was one of those rare beasts.
enjoy…

It feels like I’ve been hit by a truck.
I spent years of my life wanting to be him; emulating everything about him. Maybe he wasn’t the best drummer who ever lived, but he was close, and during a very important time in my life, he was the only one that mattered.
Suddenly the world feels like a very unfamiliar place today.

This time of year seems to be a dangerous time for Rock’n Roll legends.
In recent years we’ve lost.
Rowland s Howard (The Birthday Party)
Ron Asheton (The Stooges)
Lemmy Kilmister (Motörhead)
Stevie Wright (The Easybeats)
David Bowie
Neil Peart (Rush)
Yep. Mike Portnoy and he were up in the top 5 for me.
Seems that Neal’s death has flushed out more than a few drummers on Blitz. Maybe need our own thread!
Very sad news.

Ha! I would also use ‘■■■’ in the High Scores list. And to mix things up, would sometimes go with ‘■■■’ ‘COC’ ‘TIT’ ‘SUK’ ‘VAG’ ‘SAC’ ‘■■■’ or ‘LIK’.

How did you do that when Space Invaders didn’t have a high score list, just the Highscore,
Maybe it was Galaxian?
I was a fan of “FKU”.

Nope 
Galaga Yes!
Edit There was a clone bootleg version of Space Invaders called “Space War Part 3” released in 1978 that allowed you to enter your name after completing the first wave. It allowed 6 letters so you could of broadened your vocabulary a lot more than the above suggestions.
