[Em] Former Boston [G] drummer Sib Hashian has died.
He collapsed on [D] stage on a cruise ship.
I'm John Boaten from Rock [Em] History Music.
He was [E] a guy who played drums on [G] those first very successful [G] Boston albums.
He was actually on stage [D] with another guy who was on those first two [A] Boston albums, Barry [Em] Goodreau,
playing classic Boston songs when he [G] collapsed mid-set.
They tried CPR [D] but to no avail.
He had died.
The pair were [A] on the Legends of Rock cruise going through the Caribbean
[C] with many other rockerettes including [D] former Foreigner lead singer Lou Gramm.
He was born [C] John Thomas Sib Hashian on August 17, [A] 1949.
The Armenian [C]-Italian-American actually replaced Boston's original [Bm] drummer, Jim Mastia,
at the record company's [A] request for their debut.
Hashian played [D] on most of their hits,
more than a feeling, long time, peace of mind from [E] their debut album released [G] on August 25, [D] 1976.
[A] And their sophomore album, Don't Look [E] Back, from August 2, [G] 1978, featuring the title song,
[A] A Man I'll Never Be and Feelin' [E] Satisfied.
After a [G] long legal battle between [D] Tom Scholz and [A] Epic Records, they moved to [C] MCA after about six [D] years.
Sib [A] was involved in Third Stage, the next album, for [E] a little while, at [Em] least in the early stages,
until [G] Jim Mastia, the original drummer, came back.
Then there was a legal [D] battle between Scholz and Hashian [A] and it was settled out of court.
[G] Sib is survived by his [Em] wife Suzanne, his son Adam, daughters Asia [G] and Lauren Hashian.
He has several [D] grandchildren.
In fact, daughter Lauren has been with [A] Dwayne The Rock Johnson since [Em] 2007.
I was 16 years old when I first got [G] this album and turned it around
[D] and was urged to listen to the [A] record many times in the liner [G] notes.
But [C] there was Sib in between Tom Scholz, the leader of the band, and Brad Delp, the lead singer of the band,
who we lost to [E] suicide on March 9, [A]
2007.
[C] Like you, probably, I [Bm] played this album over and over again.
And even though people [A] criticized the next one, I liked [D] it just as much.
Okay, not as much, but I [E] liked it because it sounded like this album an [D] awful lot.
A big part of [E] rock and roll history, there was, [D] you should look it up, there's a Plumbers video
[E] where two of [G] Sib Hashian's [D] friends who are Plumbers visit his basement and help him [C] out with a few things,
[D] where you can see he [A] proudly has his gold and platinum records [Em] for the first three albums,
[G] because like I mentioned, he was involved, at least in the early stages of third stage, [D] all over his [G] basement.
He was proud of the work that he had done with Boston, not so happy with the [C] way it ended.
He had often said during the latter years of his life that he [G] was not happy with the [A] drumming sound
or the drumming mix of the first album.
[D] He thought the drumming was actually mixed too [Em] low.
Now, as a drummer, I never noticed that, and I [G] loved his drumming parts on the first album,
even though [D] I hear it's note for note what Jim Mastia had done [A] until he stepped in and redid the whole [Em] thing.
But it doesn't matter.
It sounded fantastic.
And I'll [G] leave it up to Sib to be the expert on how the drums [F#] sounded on that first [A] album.
He died playing the music that he loved on a cruise [C] ship.
I know he was too young, but [D] there's worse ways to [A] die.
May he [D] rest [C] in peace.
Man, what a great drummer he was, and a [A] nice guy.

We'd appreciate that.
