Yep. CC and Baphomet were neck and neck for a couple years in the Buffalo metal scene, then CC took off, and Baphomet plateaued. Then Baphomet had to change their name.

I've watched the Centuries of Torment video. Very humble beginnings indeed. Even Alex Webster said at the beginning that he couldn't believe how far they'd gone. We all know that many bands struggle to get a record deal - only to never get one. Theirs literally fell in their lap. Quote

Don't listen to death metal, never watched Ace Ventura. And if they're from Buffalo they should all be Sabres fans. 1 Quote

I've never heard of the band Baphomet. Some of the guys I knew in high school tried to start bands, but I hadn't heard anything since over 30 years ago. Quote

Joan Jett and Pat Benetar are probably the weakest musically but deserve a spot because of their contributions to the industry as women. Agree 100% with Kansas, but here's what's on my mind. They're getting to the point of return to get in. Guess we'll just have to hold on and hope for a miracle out of nowhere and they break through the wall to get into the HOF before we're all dust in the wind.. Edited January 9, 2020 by Tondas 1 Quote

I was heavy into that scene and had a general knowledge of the metal scene too. What high school? Quote

Claude_Verret Posted January 10, 2020 Report Posted January 10, 2020 Statement from the band. It is with broken hearts and the deepest sadness that we must share the terrible news that on Tuesday our friend, soul brother and band mate of over 45 years, Neil, has lost his incredibly brave three and a half year battle with brain cancer (Glioblastoma). We ask that friends, fans, and media alike understandably respect the family’s need for privacy and peace at this extremely painful and difficult time. Those wishing to express their condolences can choose a cancer research group or charity of their choice and make a donation in Neil Peart's name. Rest in peace brother. Neil Peart September 12, 1952 - January 7, 2020 2 Quote
woods-racer Posted January 11, 2020 Report Posted January 11, 2020 Rush. One of my favorites. One of the few concerts I went to in the Aud. I was young. They sounded great. Sure some of it was youthful enthusiasm, but I also didn't know how bad the acoustics where in that place. They set the standard for the rest of my life for how good a band should sound live. They set the bar high. God speed Mr. Peart. Quote
Sabres Fan in NS Posted January 11, 2020 Report Posted January 11, 2020 Just read the news. I remember seeing them live many times in the (relatively) early years when I was in High School (late 70's early 80's). Sad. I pray that he has found peace. Quote
Tondas Posted January 11, 2020 Report Posted January 11, 2020 Why try? I know why This feeling inside me says it's time I was gone Clear head, new life ahead It's time I was king, now not just one more pawn RIP Neil. 1 Quote
