Sib Hashian - RIP

[spasm3]

Just read he died onstage, during a Legends of rock cruise show. Hate to hear that. The greats are dying out.

That is a shame! That band (their first album) was the first LP I ever bought---for $3.99, believe it or not. I still think side 1 of that qualifies as one of the best LP sides in hard rock, ever.

RIP Sib.

That first Boston album came out just as I was getting real serious with my drumming and playing in a bunch of different bands. He was tight, articulate and had class fills. However, I think he got the shaft. Tom Scholz (sp???) had put so much time and energy into creating a really unique guitar sound that they didn't even think twice about the drums. The drum micing and mastering absolutely sucked. Those drums sounded horrible. I think that album would have even been better, it that's even possible, if the drums sounded better. Imagine that first album with the drums sounding like Neil Peart's did on Moving Pictures...aka....the song Tom Sawyer.
