    I was on a computer at the library the day I learned he had passed. I saw the ‘Remembering Neil Peart…’ headline and couldn’t believe what I had just looked at. I felt my whole body just kinda sink. I honestly don’t think I’ll ever forget that day.
    Today I was talking to a lady I met at work. She’s our librarian at the facility, and we started talking about Rush. She said she cried for days after Neil had died. It must be so touching to imagine that you can have such an impact on people you’ve never met in your life. And that goes for Alex and Geddy too. It must be what greatness is.
    Neil, you will always be missed and loved.

    RIP, Neil Peart! I remember buying the "Fly by Night" 8-track in 1975! I was instantly blown away by this new, 22-year-old drummer! Neil was a true genius! To imagine the amount of grief he went through when he lost his daughter and wife within a year is heartbreaking! He hopped on his motorcycle and began his healing process. 58,000 miles later, he was ready to get behind his kit once again. Neil was a selfless gift to all of us for so long. Thank you God!

    A truly remarkable drummer. He was a joy to watch and an inspiration to countless young drummers out there. Hope to see you in the afterlife my friend.

    I think my favorite moment is his proud smile after nailing the fill in Camera Eye. He was always looking so serious and focused behind the kit, but in that moment you could see him living in the moment. RIP Neil.

    Neil Peart was f###ing amazing! I've been a Rush fan for most of their 40 years. Saw them live a few times. They perform great music, and put on a fantastic show. RIP Neil Peart. May your music live on forever!

    Oh man....I haven't even thought about it for years. See that guitar Neil is playing @1:00? that's Alex's Howard Roberts Fusion. I installed that chrome plate between the bridge and tailpiece in the 90s. Just a cover-up of a route for when Alex had a Kahler bridge installed in that guitar.

      They all seem like really decent guys, I heard a story about Geddy trying to pick up a hottie and getting shot down, but I think we've all done that....Saw them n Snakes and Arrows in Albuquerque...Great Show, excellent sound, Geddys having a hard time with the high notes, but his bass work is superb. They had a good run, maybe its time to hang it up.....

      Those stupid Kahlers ruined so many good guitars. Gilmour's black Strat suffered the same fate in the 80s. I'm wondering if Alex played that Howard Roberts Fusion,the one he had in the 80s,when I saw him front row in '09?

    Never thought I was a huge Rush fan, but I love and remember almost every song, I know where I was when listening to most of their songs. It started when I was 13, and kept going and going, and now I’m 54 and love their music just as much and now realize how big a part of my life they’ve been. I can’t really think of any other band that’s higher up on my list.

  • @haeuptlingaberja4927

    Only thing you missed was that interview where Geddy and Alex describe auditioning Neil in 74--how they looked at each other and said, "Who is this lunatic? We want him!", right there, within the first two minutes. The first time I saw them was two years later, on December 16, 1976, at Chicago's acoustically perfect Auditorium Theater, on their first tour as the headliner. While I've seen them many times since, that show--every song--has stayed with me to this day. When I finally made it home that night, I was so blown away, so high from the experience that I floated for days and days with a silly smile on my face...

    Great compilation. Thanks for putting it together. The first time I saw Rush play, Neil hit one of those little cymbals, like the one at 12:26, (I don't remember the song, it was on the New World Tour in 1983) with a good deal more energy than you see at 12:26, and it flew off the kit toward the Geddy side like a little frisbee. Also - regarding Neil's comment about Bob Dylan's quote and the goal of the artist being to inspire....mission accomplished, Neil. Mission accomplished.

    One of the greatest musicians that ever lived. His life force was HUGE, and burned every second, sending out millions of sparks into the world. He's one of the people I immediately think of when I hear the phrase "living life to the full".

    At 7:25, I love Neil's explanation regarding similarities in writing and drumming composition. What an interesting, thoughtful, analytical person he was; clearly evidenced by his masterful, intricate, drumming style. What a vast gift he and the whole band left for us fans. I'm still profoundly saddened by his death.

    1977 Denver, Colorado auditorium arena. Walking backstage after Uriah Heep played turning to my right side and seeing Neil's slingerland concert Tom's sitting, waiting to be carried on stage by his tech. At that moment I was within reach of tapping on his concert Tom's! A big roadie looked at me and I didn't touch the professor's drums. A few seconds later they were carried away to center stage. Just one vivid memory from Rush "1977" Neil was the best! Thanks Rush for making memories!

    I haven't been a fan for nearly as long as many of you, but after hearing songs like Subdivisions and The Enemy Within I fell in love with their music, and more importantly, the lyrics. As a drummer I look up to Neil, and I deeply relate to a lot of his lyrics and ideologies.
    Rest easy, Neil.
