«We made amazing music together,» Mould wrote in his tribute to Hart. «We (almost) always agreed on how to present our collective work to the world. When we fought about the details, it was because we both cared. The band was our life. It was an amazing decade … Godspeed, Grant. I miss you. Be with the angels.»

«The tragic news of Grant’s passing was not unexpected to me. My deepest condolences and thoughts to Grant’s family, friends, and fans around the world,» his bandmate Bob Mould wrote on Facebook. «Grant Hart was a gifted visual artist, a wonderful story teller, and a frighteningly talented musician. Everyone touched by his spirit will always remember.»

An early member of the hardcore movement, Hüsker Dü was a prolific presence in the 1980s, releasing six albums in fewer than six years. The band’s 1984 double album, «Zen Arcade,» was lauded by The New York Times, which said it was arguably the best record «to have emerged from the hardcore scene.»

Hüsker Dü’s Grant Hart: hardcore punk’s inspired soul

The musician, whose death at 56 of cancer has been announced, played drums in the band that sparked the grunge explosion, but commercial success always seemed to elude him.

Jede Wunde eine Melodie

Harts Einfluss auf nachfolgende Generationen kann nicht überschätzt werden. Der gefühlig überschäumende Neunzigerjahre-Highschoolpogopop von Green Day oder den Foo Fighters ist schwer vorstellbar ohne Hüsker Dü, ohne Grant Hart, ohne den sein Herz aus der Brust reißenden Hippie hinter den Trommeln, der die Punks zum weinen brachte.

Er schrieb in den achtziger Jahren Rockgeschichte – und auch später tolle Songs: Zum Tod des amerikanischen Musikers und Hüsker-Dü-Drummers Grant Hart.
