i dont know if youd remember , but back in 2004, i was watching you in Montreal, Cocked off my ass in a suit. Passed out on the street with a Labatts Blue Dry in hand. Hell of a drummer you are man!
Whether playing in a metal band, a drumline or on the street, this guy is king. And when you can play in all these places and make people happy, including yourself, isn't that what freedom is all about?
@69jwine Who says he lost it all man? He said in a 2008 video he's still in a band and has a huge studio. I think he just does it because he loves drumming and wants some entertainment for himself, and the people around him in an interesting way.
@krazykhrisya He's earning Tax free dollars baby &he's probably bringing in rakes for the tourist industry every year, he's got it made. Plus losing it is playing to stage of 50,000 and bumming it cuz your too fucked to play!
people just cant read...the guy ...aka..montrealdrumline1 and 2 ...has a house , a drumset, a recording studio....is NOT HOMELESS , plays on the streets for Cash and because he's soooo damn talented it would be a waste for him NOT TO!!!
didn't this guy used to post on the drumcenter forum, he used to post about how big his kit was, and if I recall he said his kit was like 130 pieces, ofcourse he's counting each piece
RB went a long way since PRLX, L.G. and me. We grew up together...

Looking at his kit, I would have to say that it looks very Neil Peart like in its set up from the early 80's tours.

@69jwine You know you can do Street Performances without being homeless/poor. I bet he does them just to entertain people and himself.

So what ever happened? He was great, and still is! Why's he just doing street performances in downtown Montreal?
Did he just get sick of that life and quit, or was he booted?
