[@promiseonos8798]

RIP to this great legend of our time 😢

[@malcolmlarri8236]

He is know for those flashy fills but it was always Aaron's pocket that blew my mind ! RIP

[@matt_drumming12h4]

Can’t believe it’s a month since we lost this great man , an incredible talent my heart breaks when I watch him , legend!

[@aybeehayden]

Worth the 18 min every single time!!! 🔥 🔥 🔥

[@Scrumdilliisious]

Aaron is one the nicest dudes in the industry. Aside from his drumming, he is very magnetic and positive. Also, he hits the drums real hard! I have jammed drum sheds with him. Never let him borrow your sticks, you will get them back in pieces. And wear ear plugs. His snare hits are like explosions.

[@Riddim4]

I concur.

[@GeloAlcantara]

3rd the motion

[@gideontech2281]

This band was so on point........... Aaron's groove and flow🔥🔥🔥

[@jimmylorang995]

ONE OF THE GREATEST LIVE PERFORMANCES OF ALL TIME!!! I watch this video every day now... ALWAYS getting the good ole goose bumps watching and listening to Aaron beat down on his drums...especially the grande finale near the end. Each member of the band played great solos...with Aaron's majestic playing gliding each player along. I'm so proud that I was able to play my electric guitar on this Berklee stage while I went to school there in1989. I'll never forget the wooden floors and the great acoustics... Rest In Peace Mr Spears!!!

[@thelmabradley7176]
