Bangster of Goats Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 RIP Skip. Sad to see him pass... his is one of those names I'd always seen on Rush album and tour credits for decades. That extended Rush family. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CygnusGal Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 RIP Skip. You played a major role in supporting Geddy on the road and I am grateful for the years of wonderful service you gave to the band that you loved. This is an enormous loss for the Rush family. Andrew last year, Skip this year. :( RIP Skip and thank you for all you've done. My condolences and love go out to Skip's family and friends. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeminiRising79 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 I love the Atwas intro he did. It sounded so genuinely enthusiastic and positive. Subconciously, I always felt like this show was a celebration of sorts, and that this concert symbolized that Rush had made it and were truly destined for greatness. I was just thinking how wonderful it would be if Rush played that clip of Skip from Atwas at the beginning of their concert, next tour.... And then barrel into Bastille day? And, btw, they're truly at home in any city with their fans present with them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytserush Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Very, very sad news. Other than seeing him onstage sometimes, reading his name in liner notes over the years and the odd interview or two. I really didn't know him. But he was a very important part of the Rush family. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
