    When I hear people debate whether or not Neil is the greatest drummer ever, I can’t help but feel that they are taking such an amazing person and reducing him down to just a drummer. He was just a complete treasure. So smart, so humble, and such a good human being. He’s so much more than a drummer.

      @diannebdee 4 года назад +4

      Beautifully said. And they didn't have to be dicks about it either. They saw what the others were doing, as Neil said, and decided that wasn't going to be them. Respect was the one thing they nurtured in each other, and respect is what they got from the fans and their peers.

    • @MattSmith-iq1ld
      @MattSmith-iq1ld 4 года назад +2

      And they went thru rough periods. It is well documented that the band almost broke up during the "Grace Under Pressure" sessions because it was their first record without producer Terry Brown, a number of "A" list producers like Steve Lillywhite bailed on them during preproduction, and they ended up being stuck with Peter Henderson who was really only an engineer. Rush spent something like 4 straight months, 7 days per week, 16 hours per day working on that great album, but it nearly did them in. They also nearly broke up after the "Hold Your Fire" tour because they just toured too much and it was negatively effecting their health and families. And then we all know of Neil's tragedies. The period before "2112" was also brutal. I know some folks dig "Caress of Steel," but it was a commercial disaster. In the first month after its release "2112" outsold Rush's three previous records combined.

The tapestry is rich, complex, beautiful, impossible but yet for some of us, there it is, and we are forever gifted by the majesty, magnificence and sonic brilliance of Rush.

    I'm a freelance photographer & writer, but I've been a Rush fan since their inception. This interview with Neil Peart, and his top ten tips, has brought some new inspiration to me today. Not that that should surprise me, as Rush, and Peart's writing, have always brought me inspiration. The world lost a treasure when we lost Neil. I will always be grateful to him and his compadres for their contributions to my own life.

      Pretty much like you regards NP and Rush until 2015. Then a friend suggested Ghost Rider when my beloved passed away in May of that year. It helped, really helped me get through and onward. I just finished reading his three "Far and..." books, and came to the same realization you did.

  • @robertwarren4248

    What a terrible terrible loss to RUSH fans, to our friends in Canada, but mostly, what a loss to mankind. An intelligent, articulate, well read, well spoken, overwhelmingly decent and truly humble human being. He was, is, and will remain such an inspiration. His loss is a dagger in the heart.

  • @svenhassel3150

    Feel in shock that Neil has gone. He was a massive influence throughout my life and his lyrics have helped me survive some dark times. I knew there was something wrong with him the last few years, but they kept his fight against brain cancer out of the media. His book 'Ghost Rider' is a moving testament to the struggles Neil went through and how he overcame grief. He was a sensitive, highly intelligent, kind and gifted man. The world does not feel the same without him. He will be greatly missed.

    I never knew him and i never met him, but Neil Peart changed my life forever, and influenced me more than any other musician ever did, before or since. On the night of the news of his passing, after drinking several pints of good English ale in his honour, i returned home, to sit at my drum kit, hit a couple of weak and feeble rounds, and then shed the tears of disbelief. God bless you Neil. Rest in peace.

    I only knew around 4 Rush songs, so I'm not a lifetime fan of the band, but I heard of Neil's death yesterday and this got me checking out more about him. He is clearly highly intelligent and very inspirational because of this. I think he is potentially bigger than drums. His intelligence shines through in every one of these examples and I think we were lucky to have him here to give us these gifts.

    Part of Rush` longevity apart from the obvious, talent, is they are all good guys. I myself as a loyal fan for 40 years, part of my loyalty is due to the fact that all three of them are such awesome human beings.

    I have been living these rules for decades, pretty much since I realized 30 years ago what I loved most about the band besides the music was their work ethic and commitment to being their own personal best. I came onboard in '85, and what blew me away was how each album leading up to Power Windows was better than the one before, the growth was palapable to my "ear tounge" (sorry for the visual). I respected that.
    All that aside, these days, infect others with enthusiasm is one I practice daily.
    Thanks Evan. GREAT job!

      You are a true fan!!! You GET IT!! RUSH is about moving forward, not rinse and repeat. And fans like you not only see that, but respect it and embrace it, and quite possibly (like you said you already do), incorporate that method of thinking in their daily lives as well. It's the drive that keeps us "Driven".

      Hemispheres certainly wasn't better than the three albums before it..... I've been a huge Rush fan since the early 80's , but I do have top say that spotting their lows and flaws isn't a strong trait among the die-hard fans. Hemispheres as a piece is IMO weak, because there was no real worth to that overwrought piece. Subconsciously (at least) Rush themselves must have felt this, as they also quit with the long epics after it.... It has it's moments but overall, not worth the effort, I'd say. You can't say that about 2112 or The Fountain of Lamneth.

    Sigh. A man who reflects some of the values I espouse, and with whom I share a distaste for the spotlight, ironically enough. I've been blessed to enjoy his and his bandmate's songs and music since 1984 when me and a buddy as high school students wanted to find "weird" music that we liked because of some Moody Blues inspiration. We figured any albums with roman numerals next to the song titles might qualify. I had a choice between Uriah Heep and Rush (2112). After listening to that Rand inspired album, which was even then a few years old, I was hopelessly a fanatic. I knew every lyric to every song up to then by the end of that year. I waited for every subsequent album with baited breath all the way through Clockwork Angels. Now, those days may very well be done. Thank you, Neil. Bittersweet. Oh well, there's always the next Tool album (many will see the joke there)

    Huge rush fan for many years and when people say they don't like rush or ask what is the fascination with them this is one of many reasons we love them. I understand that some only heard their first albums and didn't care for it but as the years went by with albums like presto, counterparts, test for echo etc, the music just kept getting better as for the fascination its more than the awesome music it's the way they carry themselves and how they view their lives, their fortunes, and misgivings and the enthusiasm they have for the good and bad. Just listening to them talk is inspiring and makes you smile. Also if you haven't seen the video dinner with rush you need to check it out. It should have been a series.
