Is he falling asleep or does he have a cold?
@@einarabelc5 he is old, happen to all of us.
They're mortals? 😭
@@youarerightboss we all are, no matter who we are or what we do.

I like how both Alex and Geddy protected Neil's privacy by not telling anyone that he was battling brain cancer. RIP Neil. Legends never die.
Or is it lies? You think you got the sex right well your wrong, you think they do hardcore drugs wrong. What do you have figured out? Nothing. 🤙🤫
@@xxxgames4458 You just made no sense.

I wonder if Neil has a letter he wrote to the fans that will be released sometime.
@@Acujeremy I doubt it. For as much as he appreciated the fans, he did like to keep a barrier between him and then
Geddy and Alex were more to Neil than just bandmates, and even more than just friends. They were his protectors. His whole life, they stood between Neil and the general public, which was a huge relief for such a private person. When tragedy struck, Geddy and Alex waited patiently until their friend came back to them. And when Neil was diagnosed, Geddy and Alex shut down the band in a graceful manner, without ever revealing the truth. They took all the questions, interviews, and all the heat as to why the band ended. What a beautiful friendship...
Well said. I wish I treated my closest friends the way they treated each other
Nice
What a beautiful and moving tribute yourself, Jeremy.
Greg Kelly Thank you
@@MrDrummerman32 so do it. Be the change you want to see brother
Boy, when Geddy talked about Neil’s physical ailments, I got chills. Because he KNEW when he did this interview. He knew it was over forever... and that had to be devastating.
When I saw this interview, I thought Neil had some neuro muscular deal going on, never would have thought brain cancer
Absolutely!!
@Just J Speculative nonsense
drewlovs Very sad. I got chills as well. In a strange way, or subconsciously , they thought by playing their songs in Reverse chronological order maybe they could possibly REVERSE what Neil was diagnosed with. Fuck you Cancer.
RIP Neil Peart.
@Just J Nice spin at the end, when you took a stab at 'socialism'...However,Neil Peart was living in Santa Monica,California...had a house and family there for the last ten years.He had his medical treatments in the USA
Who else feels fortunate to have seen Rush perform live and to have known their music? They were such great musicians. RIP, Neil.
I do. Saw them in 1979 at the Pinkpop festival in the Netherlands where I live.
It was the 'Hemispheres'
tour! Breathtaking!
A revelation for me as a
musician.
Alex had cut his finger but
played to perfection!
Very dedicated guys.😊👍
Me too. I’ve seen them dozens of times live, Niel was my role model as an early drummer when I was 12 years old. I never had the pleasure of meeting them in person, but they’re terrific human beings by all reports.
I remember fondly when Alex was a guest actor on the series called “trailer Park boys.“ He was freaking hilarious.
Rush was my very first concert, as a high schooler 1981. I never had a chance to see them again, but that was truly one of the most impactful experiences of my life
@@Chris_the_Dingo My first concert, as well. Junior in HS. It was the Permanent Waves tour, Mar. 7, 1980. I heard the 2112 album a few days before the show and was hooked.
I also saw shows for Moving Pictures, Grace Under Pressure, Presto, and Snakes and Arrows. Greatest band, nay, orchestra, that I've ever seen. That 3 musicians could make that much music still amazes me to this day. Their music has been a part of my life ever since that first show.
@@johnsampson2544 that's great! We must be about the same age. I started getting into them when Permanent Waves came out. I guess it was the Moving Pictures tour when I saw them live...Tom Sawyer, Red Barchetta, etc?
They're human.
They're in their 60's
They gave us most of their lives, away from family and friends.
They left us with the best music and live shows we ever saw.
They deserve it.
Eril Burgos well said
Your comment is dead on, but has a flaw, please edit ‘music’.
Earned it. They effin' earned it.
you're a dumb-ass ~
Thank you!!! 💙💙💙
Geddy Lee is so humble and polite what a man thank you Canadian trio for being in my life for 40 years
Take off to the great white North it's a BEAUTY WAY TO GO
There should be more people like geddy
I actually was lucky enough to meet him at a book signing, and he was super down to earth and kind. I play bass because of him and I have listened to rush ever since I was a baby, so it was super surreal, and I got a fist bump!
First album was in 1974, so 45 years.
Alexa Cardente that must have been awesome
RIP Neil “The Professor” Peart...absolutely the best.
I believe it was his character that made him the best too. Rest in Peace, Neil Peart.
Conductor dick
I miss him even though I never met him.
@@jessejones1509 his name was not conductor dick...
Now his friend Danny Carey is best living drummer Rip Professor multi percussionist.
I'm only a casual Rush fan. I never followed them closely or got too deeply into their albums, but I always admired them for their musicianship. Listening to them in interviews, and especially here, how Geddy speaks so movingly and respectfully about his bandmates, I am equally impressed by their character and integrity.
I'm the same way. I am much more of a metal fan, but I always liked Rush. I briefly met Geddy when he did a book signing in Brookline MA for the Big Book of Bass. I honestly barely remember it because of a severe migraine, but my friend reminds me he greeted everyone warmly and genuinely.
I think they were great for their first 8 albums, and then got super bland.
The R40 Tour was great though; the second set after intermission was sort of like a combination of "Exit Stage Left" and "All The World's A Stage".
The trajectory of their musical evolution from their inception through to the early 80s was a progression from a fairly straightforward and not particularly complex - though _really_ good - bluesy hard rock/proto-metal sound to an increasingly complex mix of hard rock with proggy elements that eventually blossomed into an incredibly unique sound.
Unfortunately, in my opinion at least, whatever their motivations or lack thereof were, after "Moving Pictures" their sound changed radically and for the worse, becoming a very typically 80s overproduced synth dominated band.
yeah, you're unique
they are all 3 very classy guys...
Been a fan since I was 5 and I'm 45 now. It meant everything to know they were always out there fighting the good fight.
In hindsight, he's probably sitting there knowing Neil had cancer but kept it secret for his privacy.
They all knew for three years.
He was always a private man and they loved him.
Yep
It's kind of like this interview I heard with Carlos Aldomar (hope I I didn't destroy his name to bad) talking about working on Bowie's last album
They have always had so much love & respect for each other.
Yeah they knew it. It had to be hard to sit there in these interviews in the last few years and maintain composure.
Everytime I hear Geddy talking I realize I should be more polite and treat people better.
what a great statement. We should all be like this...Hats off to you Rodrigo.
I had the exact same sentiment as the video was concluding. The epitome of class.
What a lovely Man xxx
A class act.
I've met him three times at autograph signings and he was always very nice. The last time was in Chicago at the release of my favorite headache and the line outside the Record Shop must have been a quarter mile long and it was freezing out and I was worried he would leave before he got to us. I thanked him for staying around so late and he looked at me and he said Thank you for waiting!
I have never cared when other bands stopped playing or a member had passed away but I was almost in tears when I heard about Neil. Rush is a band that never gave me the sense that they were untouchable superstars who were so much better than we mortals. There was an actual sense that these were people who might just show up at your backyard bbq and sit down and have a beer with you and talk about their lives and their music and whatnot. I'm mostly sad that I never got to see them live. Money and opportunity were never in the same place at the right time. On the bright side they left us with over forty years of amazing music.
I seen them live and when any band or artist music n vocals can sound like on the albums themselves without lip sync,to me they've earned tha right 2B on that pedestal of being called "1 of the greatest"
Well said
Dude you missed out rush lives amazing I'm so grateful to havexperiacedthem 5 times definitely doyoursef a favor and that yourself and purchase the exit stage left live video which is also available on RUclips complete!
I was fortunate to see them 4 times in Washington state. I heard over the radio about Neil's passing and had to pull my car over to the side of the road. The DVD "Rush in Rio" is one of the best concert videos in my opinion. My two sons, when they were teenagers (they are in their 50's now) were blasting "Tom Sawyer" on their radio and I was hooked! My favorite band of all my 72 years.
What a humble, talented musician, he along with Alex knew the problems Neil was having, and stood with him through his darkest times, RIP Neil, we miss you, as we miss the music. You and the band will always have a special place in my heart.
I think Geddy Lee should do a podcast, or a radio show. He has a great speaking voice and is very articulate.
I would easily listen to it. And, if He could have Alex on to share some Stories?, perfection!
I totally agree!!!!!!
He definitely has the spirit of radio.
@@Roberto-th5tg 😂
I think I say this from all RUSH fans , we all love you guys thank you for the best music 🎶 ever.
Geddy Lee has always been such a class act. Fell in awe of this band back in 1980 when I was a young teen, and am still in awe of them today in 2020.
For the men who hold high places must be the ones to start to mold a new reality closer to the heart...and that is what these rock legends did.
Thank you, Rush, for so many decades of musical enjoyment and simply extraordinary shows. Thank you.
Geddy Lee, what a class act, personally and professionally. This band wrote the book on what's possible when band members have mutual love and respect for each other as human beings and as musicians.
Such a class act. Geddy Is truly a great player and person. A nice Jewish boy from Canada who can still sing like a champ at his age. Kudos
Such a nice Jewish boy ;)
Class act, and such a pro. All 3 were hard working and extremely talented but I feel Geddy was the glue, he’s the reason they never wavered from what they were. And that’s not to take away the contributions of the other two which were enormous, I just feel like every long term band needs the glue and he was it.
I prefer his voice on the past few albums to everything before. I couldn't get into Rush exactly because of his tone back in the day
Plays like a champ..sings? Ehmm.
HUGE FUCKING TEARS AFTER FOLLOWING FOR 40+YEARS!!!😢😢😢
"I feel good about our body of work." What an understated summation.
rush is the most humble band i have seen
Agree.
agreed
well with just one hit single...
@@escaton74 One hit single by pop standards perhaps (although I believe they have far more than one widely recognizable song). I'll listen to every one of the hundreds of songs they've given us over the current crop of pop hits!
Rush ending is like a family member dying. When I first saw on Wikipedia that Rush *was* a Canadian rock band I almost cried. They've had that much of an impact on my life.
How long were you a Rush fan before you found out they were Canadian?
@Batphink Reynolds He emphasized the word "was". It was seeing Rush referred to in the past tense that made him almost cry.
"Rush ending is like a family member dying" - you're a fucking idiot, kid!
Tio MGTOW Actually, some people (like me) were extremely impacted by Rush ending. If you don’t care, then why are you here?
Me too. Philosophically speaking, Rush raised me.
Watching this in 2021, and now knowing what Geddy knew about Neil, gives to his words a whole new perspective. You can hear the sadness and pain he was feeling, an it breaks my heart. Rush has, and always will be, a tremendous influence on me as a musician and a person and I think many others are with me on that.
Never will be another set of musicians like these 3. God bless you guys and thanks for the wonderful memories!
I ask God if we could have them play in heaven....
So true. Remarkable that just 3 people were able to create all that sound.
Physical ailments, and 'other things' . Now we know. RIP Professor. You were one of a kind. Peace...….
LEGENDS! All 3 of them. Thank you, Rush, for everything. Class Act.
At least they got to end it together, living.
Amen.
True
Now that we know that Neil was struggling against cancer since 3 years and a half, we understand that his retirement was not only a matter of diabetes or arthritis 😢
and I think we've learned, what the "other" ailments were. Rest in Peace Neil.
Nope. They disbanded before Peart got sick with cancer.
Because your a family member or a member of Rush right? That's how you would know? Shut up and move along mr. Know it all tool ....you know nothing about it other than what's published and as we all know now regarding this matter things were skewed at best for privacy reasons
@@WendyMcCor696 jeremy why so harsh? Its only the internet nothing to get all bothered about.
They had stopped full-scale touring before the Filoblastoma diagnosis, but after Neil Peart’s arthritis and tendinitis made him have to stop. When Alex Lifeson announced in 2018 that Rush was done, it was most likely after the diagnosis, and by the time that this interview took place, Geddy Lee could speak with after-knowledge of the full extent of the challenges facing his band-mate. Until 2018, there was the implied hope that stand-alone concerts would still be possible.
Geddy Lee clearly knew something here that the rest of us didn’t until this last week.
I have no doubt that they were informed of his passing on the same day, and kept quiet to help the family grieve and prepare for the onslaught.
@@scotiadragoon5974 I think him and Alex might have been bedside.
I was fortunate to attend the last show at the Forum. I had a sinking feeling Rush was over when Neil vacated his drum fortress and joined Geddy and Alex front and center. So out of character for Mr. Peart to do this. A great band with an amazing discography. History will look at them fondly as master artisans of their craft.
Did that at every stop on the tour.
Exactly. Neil never did a curtain call, always bounced stage right once the show was done.
That was the moment too, when I knew it was the end of an amazing musical journey. Soundtrack of my life for nearly 40 years.
I was there too, and when Mr Peart came out from behind his kit, I knew this was IT. Thank you to Lerxst, Dirk, and the new Guy, for 40 awesome years.
@@ds2112 That exactly how I felt...so glad I made that show!!!
I was never a Rush follower but, I have to tip my hat to them. Incredible musicians, incredible longevity. All live and in your face. I admire and respect that. RIP Neil Peart, you earned it brother.
Rush is living proof how art can reach a stellar level when the money grubbers stay out of art..
"Art as expression, not as market campaigns, will still capture our imaginations..."
Neil Peart didn't just write those lyrics, and Geddy didn't just sing them. They lived them.
Well they did work for a record company and they are no pinnacle of art anyway.
Mtn Noel- Good one!😀
Rush wasn’t in it for the good vibes. They were primarily motivated by lucre like the rest of us.
in sync would get in a hissy fit at this comment. they would say "if not for the fame, sex and drugs why in the fuck are you doing it!" answer. because it is music and in sync is just posers.
RIP NEIL
YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN
THE LYRICS YOU WROTE WILL ECHO FOR ETERNITY IN THE HEARTS and MINDS OF MILLIONS.
Some of the greatest of all time no doubt...
Long after Rock is forgotten it will survive as poetry. Sometimes when an artist captures a thought in words you know it will never be expressed better. Like Shakespeare, timeless.
What's with all the capital letters?
Still remembered the day when a good friend of mine introduced me to RUSH. True instant magic within seconds. These songs will be with me forever, and all great memories. Thank you RUSH for being such an inspiration and help through life. You guys will forever be the worlds #1 rock band without doubt!
m1kael I was young when I heard Tom Sawyer and I couldn’t stop thinking about it the next day because you had nothing but radio then but I couldn’t imagine what was yet to came
Class personified! Thank you Eddie for giving Geddy and Rush the respect that they have earned.
Total class act, all three of them. Talented, yet humble.
Rush is unquestionably the greatest Rock Group there ever was till this point. Their music was deep, complex,.. and spoke to EVERYONE in an uplifting way. R.I.P
"Hi, I'm Eddie. Tonight I've got Geddy Lee here to listen to me talk".
Actually being able to listen to Geddy, and his reference to Neil, you know that Geddy knew. What a class act!
RIP Neil Peart. You were simply THE best!
One of my greatest memories was the going to the R40 concert when I was in Middleschool with my dad. I wish I could give Geddy a hug cus he has no idea how his music has helped me and molded me as a person.
My condolences to you Geddy, for such a tragic loss of a friend.
It is now painfully obvious that Geddy struggled with some of the questions here and the way he handled it , knowing Neil was dying , is something beautiful. A lesson for us all in humility and respect.
"Suddenly you were gone , from all the lives you left your mark upon."
Rest well Neil.
We miss you
People retire, that's life.
Love you guys.
We love RUSH! Thank you Neil for helping make some of my best life experiences. Music never dies!
RUSH is the greatest band ever!! NO other band has the talent that these 3 brought to the table. They didn't need to sing about sex, violence, drug use or any of the crap we hear today. They didn't use profanity. They didn't insult other bands. They started out as a class act and they ended as a class act.
Exactly!
They didn't use slutty girls in their videos.
Amen, couldn’t have said it better.
It is called talent. If you have it you do not need to use profanity, Necked women, or insult other bands. They gave all Musicians something to strive for. Excellence is the key of standing the test of time.
Proof that it is possible to be a rock god and decent human being at the same time. Not many individuals can pull that off, never mind the entire band. Do they put something in the water in Canada?
One of the best groups I have ever heard... Loved them throughout the years. Their music will live forever.
Just three exquisitely talented Canadians who never had to brag about how great they were. Their performances spoke louder than any bravado ever could have. Too many rock stars let their egos cloud their reality, not these guys. Rush Forever
absolute respect for Geddy, Neil and Alex. world class musicians and wise people
They're multi-millionaires. If, by chance, they were at this same age, and like a lot of rock musicians, weren't smart with their money and were broke - believe me - they'd be touring to gobble up the needed cash. Don't put people on a pedestal.
Watching this after hearing about Neil fills me with so many emotions. Sad we will never see them together again. Heartbroken that Neal was probably suffering so badly during that tour. Happy that hopefully he's no longer in pain and is reunited with his daughter and wife. And grateful we ever had him here providing us all with so many great memories. Rest easy brother.
*RUSH* is the classiest all around band ever. Each individual is always a class act whenever interviewed.
I grew up with their music. Saw them many times from the mid '70s through the '80s.
Thank You for Creating the Soundtrack to my Youth.
God Bless.
Learned to play bass by listening to Geddy.
I still play exactly like that 40 years on.
I love Rush and have for decades. Geddy doing this interview was pure class.
Thank you Lord and to God be the glory for ever gracing this ungrateful planet for bringing together three of the most incredible, most talented, and most humble musical geniuses this world has ever seen. This is why RUSH has survived all these years because their devoted fans ( in which we are legions upon legions ) have always recognized their depth of cerebral talent and always recognized it and remained loyal when labels and promoters knew they would only be a passing flash in the pan and curiosity. There are few bands that have enjoyed a success such as RUSH without all the hype and promotion. This was always about the relationship RUSH enjoyed with their fans - and their fans enjoyed with them. We love them - and they know why. They were always more than a class act - and we knew it! Alex, Geddy , Neil. Enjoy the rest of your lives and what God has blessed you with - you have earned it. Thank you for all the great music and the "Sweet Memories" you gave us when we heard it. Long Live RUSH!!!!!!!!!!!
Flashing very quickly by Reminding me And giving me a reason why......
Um, actually thank Satan if your going to thank any fictional character.
@@kathytraskal3545 "The fool has said in his heart; 'There is no God." - Psalms 14:1 But I forgive you Miss Kathy as I know God does when He says: "And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men everywhere to repent." - Acts 17:30 If you really want to get a mind blower about this fictional Character called God - look up Daniel 12:4 and keep in mind this was written 534 years before Christ. You might want to check out Isaiah 46:9-11 after that and then get back to me and educate me on how stupid I am in believing in fairy tales. And oh - the last I checked when I first got your reply ; 11 people had no problem with what I said with a thumbs up. And now look - 4 more did not have any problem with what I said either. Have a blessed day
Dan Campbell amen. But I ask you.... how do you feel about Neil Peart and album covers having satanic crosses on them.
@@BradleyDavee I have been a dyed-in-the-wool - hard core RUSH fan every since I heard the first opening intro of 2112. In all those years, and all the great music these guys have put out - along with what I believe (and hope) is a good understanding of the Bible and prophecy that I have spent just about as much time in study and research into as well as religion, history and theology - I don't recall seeing anything like what you are referring to. The only thing that strikes me as occultic as you say - would be the album cover of 2112 itself. Innuendo is across the entire spectrum of entertainment; but RUSH has never made religion a focal point in their music. I can only think of one song that you could even come close to as calling a love song in their entire repertoire. They are story tellers. Philosophy, science fiction, fantasy, and a little on social issues - but even that is guarded. This band will always be my favorite band of all time and I could only give a million more reasons why they are. One of the first being: "What is their message?" I have always found it positive. Not a whole lot of that around anymore. I don't know if you know this or not, but Geddy Lee's parents fled to Canada to escape the Holocaust. Somehow I don't think this was ever lost on the Lee's household or home or Geddy as he was growing up, and I have no doubt that any lyrics that Neil Peart may have come with over all those years would not have been seen through that filter of Geddy Lee. I have no doubt both Alex and Neil would have have been very sensitive to that and religion would hit too many nerves and should be left alone. I have never saw that in them - and just another reason I admire and appreciate every single one of them. This is a tight, professional, considerate, talented band. First to each other as friends - and then to us the people they hoped would appreciate their music. We do - and that is why they have enjoyed what they have enjoyed. It is not lost them - believe me. They do. To me - this best sums up RUSH's philosophy on religion - which is just another example of the genius of Neil Peart and just how deep he is - along with his fellow band members. From the song "Freewill" - "If you choose not to decide - you still have made a choice." God bless
The first time I heard “Limelight”, I was hooked on Rush. Seeing them live was a highlight in my life and their music will always be special to me. They definitely put their stamp in music history as one of the greatest bands to ever hit the airwaves.
These 3 guys are in a class by themselves. It has always been that way and they carried it out to the end. The guys who sound like 10 at times. It’s amazing how they made that happen. Their musicianship was second to none. The band humor was awesome. They had it all and they left at the right time, on top. Thanks guys for an amazing trip through time and allowing us a chance to tag alongside one of the best bands ever. You’ve set the bar high but, alas, music is not a competition. It’s an opportunity to express yourself. That you did very well.
Once in lifetime band. That concentration of talent, skill and creative energy requires so many, many stars to align. RUSH ! Not before them nor after will we be treated to *that* sound by any other. Thank you. I heard RUSH for first time at 14 yrs old. I am 60 and still love them.
Rush - The greatest band ever.....
Most respectable band on the planet
What a total gentleman! Thank you Geddy, Alex & Neil for everything, you guys have been fantastic throughout your entire career. You have touched so many lives, always done your best and never once been arrogant or hurtful. RUSH is one of, if not THE, best bands of all time on so many levels! Individually they are all masters at their art - together they are awesome. Honestly when I first heard RUSH back when I was 10 years old I could not believe Spirit Of Radio was played just by three guys no matter how many times they over dubbed it - it was ground breaking! I would like to thank the band for 2112, out of all the amazing tracks & albums you have done, and I have them all, that album took me to another level; and you got better and better! "Signals" is my favourite album but you have never recorded a bad one - it's frankly incredible!!
As they say "All good things must come to an end"! Time is a cruel master and all we can say is "Thank you for the opportunity you have given me."
God bless you all and I personally would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for four decades of marvellous music - you honestly changed my life!!
True Gentlemen one & all.
How can you not love Geddy? The man is a living legend -- an icon -- yet he seems like one of the most humble, down-to-earth people alive.
RUSH live was amazing, I remember in Memphis, Alex broke a string, and he THREW the guitar over his shoulder, which was caught by a roadie, and another roadie suited him up with another guitar in seconds. Also, Geddy Singing, playing, bass, playing keyboards, maybe even playing bass pedals ALL AT THE SAME TIME!!!! The Nerds of Rock and everyone LOVED it.
I was at the LA Forum that final night, having seen them for the first time at the same place on the Moving Pictures tour. The set list was like a dream. It really was the perfect ending. I feel bad for those countries that didn't get the opportunity though. We will all miss them.
When Neil came out to the front of the stage, which he NEVER did on any other tour, and waved and said thank you, the crowd lost it, and new it was over. God bless them, and thank you for 40+years of musical bliss.
Same here. Moving Pictures and the final show. Both at The Fabulous Forum!
@@Gator805 That's awesome. We're both very lucky.
@@johnflanagan9153 That moment was so special, and not lost on anyone.
I was at the The Forum show also. It was a very Magical & Emotional night.
It was like reliving our own lives through the music, our youth, our successes, failures, relationships, career choices, ...EVERYTHING. I'm in my 60's, listening to Rush through school, the military, dating, marriage, children, career choices, places we've lived, what we were doing when we were at this concert. or that concert. Living the changes in RUSH and their music. It was perfect.
Have seen them 6 times starting with the Permanent Waves tour and was lucky to see them one more time in San Jose on their farewell tour and it was great, classiest guys and band ever and they will be missed big-time. Long live Rush!!
Man i wish i had seen Permanent Waves! I screwed up not going to that.
I'm so glad Rush was part of my generation and all through my teen years though adult Rush has always been in my playlist and I paid for their music.
Nicely said. My words exactly, bro.
Are you P.O.T.U.S. Or a lookalike........
That's the only thing Trump has said that I agree with!
@@caseyspaos448 Wrong.
Really BadAim Moving Pictures was the tape I bought the first time I actually had some money saved up and my Dad and I went to the record store. I wore it out and got another for christmas. Nice easy gift from my sister
Rush. Is. Immortal. There will never be another like them. RIP Neil. What a legacy. Just…awesome.
For a 3 man band to have that pure fullness of sound is amazing!!!!
This man and this band was SO important to our generation! RIP Neil, and thank you to Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson for representing Canada better than ANY other band before or since..
Hold the red star proudly high in hand. They did it their way with class and dignity, and I'll never stop missing them.
Glad I made that tour and the previous 5 or 6. I have gained even more respect for this band by the way the ended their run. A great Album in "Clockwork Angels", a great finale song in "The Garden" and an unbelievable send off concert. Way to go Geddy, Alex and Neil (may he rest in peace).
This should be titled: "Hear Eddie Trunk Talk, Vol MCXXII, feat. Geddy Lee"
Haha, I agree. That guy has the most long winded questions.
WHEN I WAS IN THE DRESSING ROOM AND WE WERE EATING FOOD... What a narcissistic moron.
fumedrummer With one more M and one less X, your Roman numeral would be 2112. So close to a perfect comment!
Trunk makes me sick to my stomach just to look at, never mind listen to. Male groupies are so pathetic.
@Lucas Robinett
I love Eddie. It's just that this video is four and a half minutes long and half of it (or more) is Eddie asking a question, going back and filling in the reason for the question, and then rephrasing the question. I get it... it's his style and it's done him well over the years.... and the guests don't seem to mind. *cheers*
Thanks, Geddy, for 4 decades of music that only Rush can create. Neil had two amazing brothers in you and Alex. Not only were you all blessed with ridiculous musical talents, but you were blessed with each other, and us die-hard Rush fans. Yes, I will miss seeing my Canadian friends live, and the excitement of opening and listening to a new Rush album. But I tell everyone that I have enough Rush to last me a lifetime, so I'm okay with that. Thanks for all of your amazing songs. They have been an inspiration to me and the soundtrack to my life.
Now that we know how much Neil was struggling with his health, it makes the tour even more incredible.
Rush was my band for 30 years . I purchased Neil Pearts Super Classic ludwig drum set like on the poster of RTB.
Saw them 16 times live in concert .Sometimes i had dreams at night of meeting them .
Miss them .
They formed in 1968, Neil Peart replaced the original drummer in 1974. Their 1st album came out in 1974. They retired in 2018. 44 years later.
How this now all makes sense with what neil was going through in secrecy just amazes me. RIP neil peart..the best drummer in the world.
We will not see their like again. 40+ years of absolute magic, brilliance, humility and class. The best of the best, in my humble opinion.
RIP Neil. Thank you for the memories and the amazing legacy you left.
Yes Rush is such a class act. Their music as other rush fans has had a Hugh influence on me though the years. All time best band. Thank u Neil Geddy Alex.
Much love and respect to all the members of Rush and their crew
You know when i look back from the time in my life that i discovered Rush’s music, until the time they ended. Over the years i grew to appreciate their music and what they stood for. Theres been many bands who had more overwhelming successful periods, but Rush as a whole body of work, from start to finish is about as steady, and meaningful as anything in entertainment. I think any of us could parallel whatever we do in our lives to the careers of these musicians and from that standpoint Rush was a success that few bands or musicians could ever hope to be! I greatly appreciate the contribution of these great artists, and i look at them fondly as a truly legendary band in rock n roll history.
I miss Rush so so so much 😞
Best band in the world, Rush.
I agree with you, but much better to be missed than to be like KISS and just milk it to a disgrace where you're not even singing live on stage. RUSH is all about integrity and they did it right. Nothing but respect for them and their body of work.
We all do. Perhaps there is some comfort in knowing we as rush fans all share that bond of being a part of this special unique thing that not only transcended miles around the globe but also the different age groups that filled those seats. From age 6-106, all Rush fans are members in musics greatest secret and yet not so secret society. Even though they are gone, the body of work remains and the legions of fans around the globe speak for themselves, and it's up to us as fans to ensure that the spirit of Rush carries on for years. So when you see someone on the street with a Rush shirt, say something. Continue to Have those conversations we've all had with our Rush brothers and sisters. How many times did you see them live? Which tours did you see? What songs hold special meaning to you? What was the first song of theirs that you heard? That's how we deal with missing something we love, is remembering and sharing why it is we love them with people who understand it the same way. And for the record, 1) 8 times 2) 2 on the snakes and arrows tour, 1 on the time machine tour, 2 on clockwork angels, and 3 on R40, 3) the pass, nobody's hero, & losing it, and 4) the spirit of radio :)
@@ieetemos4breakfast I've never seen them live. You're lucky to have seen them so many times. By the way, the first Rush song that I've heard was Tom Sawyer, and the one that has special meaning to me is YYZ.
Unfortunate that you never had the experience but luckily rush was a band that knew their fan base well enough to know it was a good idea to film so many live DVDs. Yes 8 seems like a lot but as I'm sure we've all seen in the documentaries, there are some fans who have done over 100 shows 😮
If only we were all so lucky haha.
Love them or hate them, you must respect the way they were professional throughout their career!
This has been and still is my absolute favorite band. I grew up listening to this band. Moving Pictures tour was my very first concert as well I was able to take my 8-year-old son to R30. I was also able to take my best friend (who passed) to the Time Machine tour and sit front row center at Red Rocks. It was a moment that he never forgot. Thanks to a fantastic threesome that will forever be my favorite!!
Been a fan forever. So glad I got to see them back in the 80’s when I was young, LOL!! RIP Neal, in my mind you will live on forever!!!
Rush’s work or musical miracles, however you say it, are eternal. There will never be another Rush simply because every piece to them was so totally unique that it would be very hard to duplicate. Wonders of the world: Pyramids, Grand Canyon, Rush. RIP PROFESSOR
Unbelievable how deep Geddys Voice is when he`s speaking. Singing he`s a Soprano. Sounds great too.
Geddy reflective and soulful, not letting on, the promise he made hurting him all that time. Life aint fair. I love all their music, mixed up as it has to be in all the other influences, and they did it for us - so grateful. ty.
Marathon, the single greatest strongest nicest sounding iconic sounding song of Rushes career. God bless you Rush!
My favorite motivational rock song aside from Stan Bush's The Touch and Dare as well as Survivor's Eye of The Tiger.
You have good taste ... Power Windows is probably my favorite album overall. The songwriting and music are just perfection. Territories, Middletown Dreams, Manhattan Project ... all awesome. Here in Detroit, I heard seven of the eight songs off that album receive airtime on the radio.
Rush was a class act, pure perfection!
“Didn’t capitalize on the word farewell” Take note Nikki Sixx.
And Gene Simmons.
And KISS. Bunch of joke bands out there.
The Who
Justin beiber oh wait he is still young but i still want him to retire already lol
The Who had 3 "farewell" tours, I saw the first one.
Thank you Geddy and Alex and also Neil ( RIP) for blowing me away with the most powerful music that you created for over 40 years.
As a huge Rush fan, it is sad that it has come to this point. That one superstar band member is no longer here. And it breaks my heart!
But now I have learned to balance it out with knowing as a fan that I am grateful for being a part of your journey as a band!
And I pray that God will bless you with great health and wellness.🙏
Geddy ,you did a great job on holding it together when you knew.... everyone I think thought it was arthritis and or tendinitis. I believe no one saw this one coming. Geddy and Alex, I`m sorry you lost a very dear friend and family member........
It was arthritis and tendonitis and having a 5 year old daughter at home and not wanting to mess her up.
Please read Neil's last book. He makes this terribly clear.
We all lost a very dear friend, I wept. And I was only one of millions that day.
Eddie Trunk Discusses The Way Rush Ended
here i fixed the title for you
Man you have a great comment their! I wanted to slap the guy!
Pretty much.
Other ailments 😞. So long Neal and thanks for everything
One of the greatest bands in a great many ways. Thank you Geddy, Neil, and Alex.
Outstanding three piece band comprised of three outstanding, down to earth, but extremely intelligent human beings.
Would love to thank them for all they've given us, so I purchase their music (as I do all music I obtain).....no cheating....no rip off.....no $#!t.
That's the best way to thank them, I think...
I can't believe I never saw them in concert. Saw Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and a slew of others.....but not Rush.....$#!t....
Most professional and excellent band ever. RIP Neil
What a thoughtful, caring, genuine, and dignified human being.
I agree, well said 👍
In the Summer of 2112, I mean 1977, my friend Ed walked up to me with his 8-track The Cube. He popped the tape in and we sat and listened. Listening still, what a great band.
I've seen them 7 times. It's weird to see that title.
“Onward and upward.” I love that. Rest In Peace Neil..
Geddy, Alex, and Neil are the sweetest three men in Rock-n-Roll ! I’ve been listening to RUSH since 1977 and have seen them 12 times in Detroit throughout their career. There is no better live band and I’ve seen everyone, I’m from the home of Rock-n-Roll ! There is no better Rock-n-Roll audience in the world ! I’m sure if Geddy and Alex this post they might agree ? RUSH’S music guided me through some pretty heavy shit in life ! I don’t think I’d where I am today without their music !! I miss Neil so much ! His beautiful drumming and attention to detail was absolutely amazing ! A true perfectionist at everything he did in life ! Just a wonderful man ! All three of them are just incredible human beings! I love you guys ! I miss RUSH so much !
I was at the final show. Cried like a little girl when it was over.
Yep a london show would've been perfect
Saw them twice
And they were beautiful
2011/2013
Greatest Band ever RUSH. 3 amazingly talented players and equally intelligent and honorable as well....they are extremely missed by the true fans....RIP Neil ( my drum hero/teacher)
