Amazed that this first hand account has not been liked billions of times. Well, i heard you. What a privilege it was for you to have such a great boss.
I treasured every word you wrote, and thank you so much for sharing that!!! I didn't want your sentences to end, but it comforted me all the way reading your experience as a life long fan!! I have met Alex, and knew him through high school as his son went to the same school. He was a character beyond words, and I once met Neil's cousin, while I was reading Ghost Rider...out of the blew she saw me reading HIS book, and asked me what I thought of it! I told her how valuable that book was for anyone who had lost someone, irony, and when she told me who she was, it polarized me in that moment, one I never forgot!!! Last year, a friend of Neil's gave me one of his drum sticks. It was from a 2008 concert in Canada - I feel so honoured to have it, and the stories it could tell, only one could imagine.....
I just laughed, cried and air-drummed through this. What a cool, humble guy Neil was offstage, then he turned on this focused intensity when he drummed.
Oh ya, once he sat down on his drumkit, he was all business. That is serious commitment and discipline, even as a guest on someone's show. He never half-assed anything
Certainly wasn’t the greatest day on earth when we all heard the news. But heaven just welcomed a kind and extraordinary soul..RIP Neil, u r already missed. 😥
@@777sicilia With his Wife and daughter, Ride in the sky, Ghost rider. I would rather have toured with him by MOTO..than RUSH Band Tour. Sorry, i ride a TRIUMPH..but his BMW certainly outshines MINE!
Actually, that would be Alex. No one ever recognized Alex, even when he's sitting with the rest of the band. Everyone assumes he is one of the "stage crew".
He's the opposite. He says in at least one interview that he hates fans and their delusions about their relationship with him. He rarely meets and greets and basically ignores fans.
HowardTheDork This has been covered numerous times and probably best in the Rush:Beyond The Lighted Stage documentary by Geddy Lee. He doesn’t hate fans and he appreciates the accolades bestowed upon him by them. He doesn’t set out to be rude or mean. Geddy said he’s simply a very shy person and he’s just not comfortable being around people he doesn’t know. He’s actually a very humble person and just doesn’t get why people make such a big fuss about him. You could sum it up as social anxiety I suppose. The man himself talks about it in the clip below ruclips.net/video/IlJ6udJLMKo/видео.html
Its great to see this amazing man come out of his shell at this point of his career and share his experiences. He's done more press in the last 5 years than in the rest of years Rush has been together combined!! Its great to see. He has a wealth of life lessons to share. Good and horrible..
Geddy wants to keep playing. He can't sing like the 70s but still real good. Neil wanted to come off road and spend time with wife and daughter. He is also battling being able to physically endure a tour as his drumming is exhausting. Alex has arthritic hands and is really starting to feel it. They are still open to doing fresh music and maybe an individual show every now and then. Hoping and praying.
One of the nicest guys in Rock. Top notch drummer and a great song writer. Neil could probably be great at any instrument he picked up. He just had a passion for the drums. RIP Professor. You will never be forgotten.
With a heavy heart I would like to say to the family & friends of Neil Peart, you have my sincerest and utmost condolences! What a profound loss this is. The world is a little bit darker now without you in it Neil, you will be missed and never forgotten. 😢
So hard to believe he's gone. What an amazing human being. You can just tell... Neil was first a great person.... ohhh and an incredible drummer, Rock Star, lyricist etc etc... There's so much to learn from him. Such a class act. He is definitely someone to study watch and learn from. RIP
These guys always had a great sense of humor as well as being the tightest band on the concert stage. This video was hilarious, especially when Neil's kit starting turning...
i had the rare pleasure of meeting neil. while out riding. he is a real nice guy into bikes. and a great sence of humor. his books are a credit to humanity. just as a person looking past the drums. is as good of a person as an entertainer. i can say going thru a simular loss. he is a very strong indicidual
Even if someone isn't a huge Rush fan for whatever reason, it's safe to say that these guys were serious musicians with serious talent but remained down to earth, humble, regular guys throughout their career. No egomania running wild, just 3 guys working as a unit and putting out the best music they could. Thank you Rush, for everything !
@@rickleblanc8900 well said!! When I saw the "Exit Stage Left" album on Dvd, the song "Xanadu" blew my mind away because it sounded like 5 musicians. Neil Peart's drum set was like a king's throne.
I’ve been listening to Neil’s isolated drum tracks. Just amazing detailed drumming! Lots of extra drum taps missed by being covered up by the other instruments. Just incredible drumming!
Grew up 10 miles away from where these guys did. Born in same town as Neil. Makes me feel a tiny bit special. So what if about 400,000 other people can say the same, still does make me feel that way. RIP Neil. You had some tragedy in your life, too much, but I have faith you are being rewarded now for all the solace you gave to all the misfits in the mass production zone.
OHHHHH...ALL MY RESPECT...ALL.MY ATENTION...MASTER..R.I.P....NEIL THANKS....MAN FOR....TEACHME....IN MY DRUM...HERE A REAL FAN SINCE CHILE....IN MY MIND YOU ALWAYS YOU LIVING
Here you dumb people go again calling him GOD. If he were GOD he wouldn't be dead. Why can't you honor him 4 all his hard work and tenacity at practicing until he became the perfection that he became?
It's been over two weeks since Neil passed away and seeing my hero still leaves me upset and sad. Thanks Neil for your inspiration to live each day fully and to our best.
There will never be another one like him. I have never seen an interview where Neil wasn’t extremely gracious and 100% present. He never had an attitude toward the interviewer. RIP Neil.
I want to meet Neil so bad, and get behind that R30 kit!! I have a whole Rush room, drum kit which is based off of Neil's drum set, and pictures of him! Rush for FUCKING LIFE!!!
I think of all the Rush tunes that were such a big ..BIG part of my life growing up , and still are ! The powerful & beautifully written lyrics , the POWER of Geddy ,Alex & Neil ..unmatched! I acknowledge other bands , musicians & lyricists..but to me RUSH is #1 !
I don't know what to say I'm pissed off but but I'm deeply saddened of his passing but I'm grateful to have heard him play to be inspired by this man I'm grateful be one of the millions of his fans Thank you Neil
mark paycer he considers himself a bleeding-heart libertarian. Although in his early adulthood was interested in writings the philosophies of Ayn Rand. Check out the lyrics of “Anthem”, which is strongly inspired by Ayn Rands philosophy of objectivism. Anyways, he’s one of my greatest hero’s, I’m still in shock from his passing. I already miss him. R.I.P. Neil Peart
What a dream. I did line/sound check a drum set once when Dave N came on stage and riffed over me. Then him and Scott W almost killed me but ended up saving my life. That was pretty great. The show went on.
Really, its all opinion! Ever hear of Billy Cobham, Tony Roster, Dennis Chanbers? Oh and Neils hero Buddy Rich, Neil is extraordinary drummer , i like Rush , and hes great , but its all opinions. PS the groove Master Steve Gadd, Vinnie Colaiuta, Dave. Weckl, Terry Bozzio, Petruzzi, JoJo Mayer, etc. There are many drummer that are just as talented as Neil!
@Nick CostaI I agree. I saw Narada Michael Walden when he was with the Mahavishu Orchestra. Best I ever saw and I have seen TONS of them over the years...I am 66.
Even if you weren't a Rush fan, most of Canada will be for awhile. Same as how Gord Downeys death was for Canada. We lost another great beautiful musician to such a harsh disease
MorbidManMusic okay let's put it another way. A vast majority believe Neil Peart to be one of the best of all time. He is well above average. Millions of people don't think he's one of the greatest because he is average. Also he's in his fifties and has arthritis and what not. The dudes a machine and yes he's top 5 of all time. You can disagree all you want and say you have facts but again, it's not some magical unknown reason people consider him one of the greatest. it's because he's one of the greatest. I can appreciate your opinion but to say that he's "average" and not even top 1000? I only smoke top shelf. What the hell are you smoking? Is it a bandwagon thing? like lots of other people like him so you want to stand out and not be part of the train? come on guy. He's well above average. Top one percentile easily.

I know your heart must be heavy with the loss of Neil and his first family. It must have been a privilege to know them.
Neil found a way to keep himself normal. He was truly a gentle spirit and a compassionate man. Best drummer in my book. RIP.
Here, here, Dave. Few words but powerfully written. Agreed.
His strength to carry on after personal tragedies is incredible. He is truly missed by so many.
So sad that you're gone, Neil. Your music will always be here with us.
Apparently Neil is so good that his skills cause the universe to lag
+RavionUltimate When he start his solo, a new black hole is created in 15th dimension.
What the heck? That was the best part too.

Neil is very shy when it comes to meeting the fans but, DAMNED if the guy doesnt do great interviews!
He does great one on one. it's the masses he can't deal with. especially when they act stupid.
Glad to say I have seen Neil and Rush 3 times. Great!!!
I would sure like to see him..well the whole band also in person.
William Minyard so sorry my man, RIP professor 😢
Get an introvert to open up and they might talk all night ,that's ok by me.
Coming back here after hearing the news of Neil’s passing 😔
Prayers for his family
Tremendous loss
Rest in peace!
Me too,

aside from being the greatest drummer ever, Neil was an intelligent and classy person. The man had a great sense of humor, too. such a great loss..
Yes .... pure class !!!
Not really a "loss". More like an inspiration. A perspective I suppose.
Not the greatest drummer ever. Come on.
@@MrWestdayableOk...
Listening to so many interviews recently I think I would enjoy Neil reading books on tape. Any story, his voice is very soothing. Sleep well sir ♥️
I can agree with that.
Neil seems like the least rock starry rock star ever. I’ll bet he talks to strangers that have no idea who he is, and he’d never mention it.
Actually, that would be Alex. No one ever recognized Alex, even when he's sitting with the rest of the band. Everyone assumes he is one of the "stage crew".
He's the opposite. He says in at least one interview that he hates fans and their delusions about their relationship with him. He rarely meets and greets and basically ignores fans.

Those would probably be his favorite people to talk to too, as opposed to a rabid fan.
Legend, a label that most are given for stupid reasons, Neil Peart earned his Legend status, he will be missed. Rest in peace sir.
That's too bad. Besides been the greatest drummer in Rock, it was also a very nice man. I miss him already! RIP Neil. :-(
I've finally witnessed Neil Peart smiling and laughing. I will start getting my affairs in order. This must be a sign.
R.I.P, Professor. You will be missed 💜
We love and miss you Proffesser.
I was 9 when I saw the Tom Sawyer studio video on MTV 1981. There'll NEVER be another Professor.

Right Daniela
Cheers Daniela
The atomic clock could learn a thing or two from Neil.
Great compliment that will go over the heads of most....
Robert Allen, I'd like to think that most Neil Peart fans are fairly sharp, but maybe I'm a delusional Pollyanna.
Robert Allen I think most Rush fans get it.
@@robertallen6710 Instantly made me think of my time on submarines, looking up at the atomic clock. Love that cesium. :)
When we need to keep time properly, we look to atomic clocks. When atomic clocks need to keep time properly, they listen to YYZ.
"I travel between drum solo's by motorcycle" He is just too cool!
hard to believe that someone with the rock and roll status that neil has, hes so normal. guess that lets you know what a great guy he is.
harlan cline I think Grapes said it best "a good Canadian kid"
All three of them are so Humble...
Indeed world’s greatest drummer. But also world’s greatest gentleman.
Geniuses are almost unanimously humble by nature...Einstein, etc.
My screen is lagging because of Neil's speed

He was only immortal for a limited time.

It's probably because they are retiring. Geddy is losing his voice. And others have health issues as well.
Geddy wants to keep playing. He can't sing like the 70s but still real good.
Neil wanted to come off road and spend time with wife and daughter. He is also battling being able to physically endure a tour as his drumming is exhausting.
Alex has arthritic hands and is really starting to feel it.
They are still open to doing fresh music and maybe an individual show every now and then.
Hoping and praying.
Ya feel for guy he has lost a lot
I was so taken off guard when I heard of his passing i am still kind of in disbelief. This man taught me lots on drums one of my mentors for sure!
RIP YOU ABSOLUTE LEGEND! LOVE YOU NEIL!
RIP Neil Peart ... There will never anyone like you... God needed a drummer for his band ...
One of the nicest guys in Rock. Top notch drummer and a great song writer. Neil could probably be great at any instrument he picked up. He just had a passion for the drums. RIP Professor. You will never be forgotten.
Would have liked it better if it wasnt 2 frames per second when neil started playin Tom Sawyer
Give what a rub?
RIP Neil, you was my favorite drummer. You will be missed. You was an inspiration to many.
With a heavy heart I would like to say to the family & friends of Neil Peart, you have my sincerest and utmost condolences! What a profound loss this is. The world is a little bit darker now without you in it Neil, you will be missed and never forgotten. 😢

RIP Neil. You will be dearly missed Neil!
Damn Neil, I grew up with you in my ears, and you helped me learn drums.. You are already sorely missed... :(
RIP Neil, your contribution to music and Canada was miraculous.
Remembering the Professor and so many Lessons even beyond the Stage of Light, laughs and Love...and the balance of Percussion and Power
Every generation had one true legend.... Mel Rich.... John Bonham.... we lucked out having Mr Peart!! RIP Neil

I miss him a ton too. I can't believe it eather
Yes, absolutely.

Been saying the same thing of Neil for years
He was a lot of fun too watch. They all had such “ chemistry“. 😀
Here you dumb people go again calling him GOD. If he were GOD he wouldn't be dead. Why can't you honor him 4 all his hard work and tenacity at practicing until he became the perfection that he became?
I miss seeing both of them regularly. Neil, RIP man.
Omg I started playing the same way Neil did...except I used to practice to Rush;
He's amazing and you know it
RIP Neil . . . Such a talented guy with a huge love of life.
Didn't know he was Ill what a humble man , rest in peace, world's best drummer by far
2nd best. John Bonham is #1
He kept his cancer private. Nobody knew he passed untill 4 days later
