@@velveetaslingshotok I’m gonna say it and idgaf because nobody noticed. Neil had some type of mental problem. Maybe asperger’s or something, but he comes off as a douche trying real hard to not look like a douche.
I know a married couple who are huge Rush fans, they finally met the band backstage one day and said all the questions they planned on asking went out the window.
That rock-'n'-roll hall of shame (that's basically what it is if you look at the entire organization objectively in depth! Jann wenner and the other jackass governing board members decide who they think should be inducted at any given moment without any outside criteria! I mean really, RUSH,KISS and especially the rock God's/icons DEEP PURPLE get inducted only after Madonna,run dmc and those fucking puke,pop,punks green day get in? Well that's just my opinion, but I'm sure most of you fans feel the same way about this whole lame ass institution!) Induction speech ALEX gave was done specifically for the benefit of the governing body as to not give them the acknowledgement nor validation they crave,yet do not deserve,! I thought it was most appropriate considering ALEX'S sense of humor!
Telanstus Evan Delisle Do you guys know he read for the audiobook of Clockwork Angels by Kevin J. Anderson? It's like hearing God himself reading the Bible.
Probably made it easier for him that it was actors, fans yes, but professional actors only pretending to be psycho, and cameras and all the crew etc. So he was probably able to work through it a lot easier.
Ive been a hardcore Rush fan my whole life and when i heard that Neil passed, I was on the verge of tears at work. Such a sad day. Rest in Peace Neil Peart, your soul will forever live on.
The day he passed, the managers at work put on an all Rush playlist for me all night. I work at a fine-dining restaurant, so the vibe was a little out of the ordinary. It was pretty amusing to be recommending wine pairings to guests with The Body Electric playing in the background.
I was just thinking when I heard that he died... I was so shocked because I knew nothing about what he was going through. That's what got me the most. The same thing shocked me when I heard John Wetton, Chris squire and Eddie Van Halen dying.
I’m a younger fan but was lucky enough to see them on this tour. 2011 I think? The show was amazing, however as we left the city the local radio station talked about the show and then played a little song called “Red Barchetta” my head fuckin exploded. The show was amazing but to hear this song I never heard before from a band who just blew my mind 20 minutes previously as we drove back home wow. I realized right then I wanna quit sports and be a musician full time. What a memory and pivotal moment of my youth. As my friends absorbed the techno, SoundCloud rap and metalcore, I was obsessed with rock n roll and That little moment was almost better than the show itself. It solidified my passion for playing music And made me Ditch my fears and pursue it. I’ll always remember that. R.I.P. NEIL.
I met Alex at a Becker's convenience store when Rush was producing Hemispheres. I didn't want to talk his ear off but he was very friendly and appreciates his fans. I asked what they were working on and he mentioned the most difficult album yet, were calling Hemispheres. He even talked about how Neil was recording nature sounds with a parabolic mic, he could tell I was into technology. That was great to talk to Alex about Hemispheres and like 4 months later it's released, great album.
Same age, discovered and fell in love with their music as a teen in the late 70’s. Never looked back as both the band and myself matured over the years and decades. Rock music especially Rush & Classic Rock keeps me young :)
If you were a lonely nerdy boy in the 80's and you didnt put on the headphones and jam to Rush in your bedroom --- well then you didnt grow up in the 80's
Sorry. Not funny. At all. What’s funny? That they pronounce his name wrong and then ask him if he knows how to pronounce it? Nothing original or even funny about that. Stop being so easy with your LOL’s.
51 year old Canadian here. So sad that it took me so long to appreicate the amazing musicianship, depth and humility of these 3 amazing people. Happy that I can at least enjoy so much that is available online.
Totally dude!!! I saw them live for the first and only time during their last tour and I was BLOWN AWAY by his guitar playing precision!! A true guitar icon that deserves mention with the all-time greats!
Yeah, he is not underrated. You clearly know nothing about RUSH. Many guitar players were inspired by him. The band has sold millions of albums. The "underrated" comment under every artist on RUclips just needs to die.
How Rush went through this bit without laughing is a major feat in itself! "Hey, is that MY sandwich?" That sandwich did look good, and the fact that it was alone on a literal silver platter made me think that it was an important sandwich, like through the entire show Neil was thinking about that sandwich. And to have half of it eaten by some dude would have really made him angry.
***** Neil has seemed to have broken the shell of being the reserved and quiet guy. He does more interviews, talks with fans more and obviously as we see here, he's not outside of doing a small short and having a good time doing it. It's really neat to see.
It reminds me of the Kobe Bryant commercial when the guy waits for hours to meet him and all he could think of asking him is if he likes playing basketball. Kobe responded with, “ next time be prepared.”
@@jf41163 throw them off. I met Stallone at breakfast. He invited me to sit down for a minute. I told him I thought Rocky was a brilliant script, then we talked about Maseratis, particularly the one in Rocky 3, I think it was. No gushing or freaking out. Don't be a creep or a freak. No weirdo fan made air brushed gigantic photos of them.
@@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823 legit though. Even Neil, one of the most shy and private guys ever, was still just a guy and would talk to all kinds of people on his journeys. The main qualifier seemed to be that they just acted normal as well.
4:38 - Neil's brilliant line delivery, but Geddy's "it's okay, buddy" hand on his shoulder to comfort him is both genius and sweet. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ RIP, Neil.
This was the movie they played at the end of the shows on the Time Machine Tour after the band has run off the stage after the encore. They’d roll this film then bring up the house lights.
Wonder why they ended up editing this scene out of the movie? Probably because Paul Rudd's girlfriend was with them during the concert scene but not with them backstage.....
Imagine "Horton Hears a Who" as a female RUSH FAN screaming, "We are here! We are here! We are here!........ Well dudes, that's what us FEMALE RUSH FANS have been shouting for years. Since 1982 for me!
"Seven females at a Rush concert. Must be some kind of world record". Classic. Rush is the only event I've been to where the line to the rest room is out the door on the men's side, and not the women's side.
Funny thing, Ged DOES sound like he's singing "Sawyee," but not during that part of the song. It's during "Exit the warrior, today's Tom Sawyee..." And they do a joke about fans mispronouncing Neil's last name, which TOTALLY happens... except fans don't mispronounce it as "Pairt" like they do here; they usually say "Pert." (Both are wrong. It's Peart, and you need to put the "ear" in your pronunciation of it.)
I died when Jason said, "the least you could do is sign my friends 9 string." First of all, You don't demand Rush to do anything. I mean it's Rush😆. Skit or not, I couldn't do it lol.
The reality is Rush is not together backstage after a concert ever. Neil immediately runs off the stage during Geddy's last words, hops on his bike, and gets the hell out of there. Truth.
Actually, Neil would get on his bus and be driven out of town, find a spot to stop and sleep, then in the morning get the bikes out and ride on to the next gig.
Jason and Paul's characters acted just like all of us Rush fans fear we would act in that situation and Rush acted worse-case-scenario in response. And then they signed the 9-string and our faith in Rush is confirmed. This sketch could not have been written more perfectly. Genius stuff. Love that Rush participated and acted so spot-on.
PackersBrewersROCK But not where the Rudd character says he does. He doesn't say it in the beginning; he says it at the END of the song: "Exit the warrior, today's Tom Sawyeee, he gets high on you, and the energy you trade..."
The fact that Rush decided to sign Peter's bass despite that awkwardness, shows that from they are not only the greatest band from a fan's perspective, but also the nicest band in the world.
The world misses you Neil...but you certainly left a lot of us to ponder with your lyrics as well as true inspiration to kick ass on an instrument. RIP Professor.
This brings back memories. I got to see them on this tour and it is the only time I did. I was 19 and I played bass and I lived rush and was so happy to see them. There was no opening act and they played moving pictures non stop before the intermission. Hands down the best show I’ve ever seen. Now ten years later I can’t help but think about how lucky I was.
I’m one of the lucky men who is married to one of those female Rush fans. I’ve seen Rush on every tour since Permanent Waves in 1980 and never missed a tour following that. My wife had been going to Rush concerts since the Presto tour and that was before I knew her. We have been to every tour together since Counterparts. the last tour we saw was Clockwork Angles and we will sadly never see them love again. I know how rare female Rush fans are, so I know how lucky I am to be married to one.
at the concert in Dallas Sept 2010 they actually played this clip after the show on the big screens. Amazed how many Rush fans had NOT seen that movie yet. "slappin me base"
I saw Rush in Baltimore, the Time Machine tour and I had to do a double take...there were two young black females all decked out in Rush apparel at the concert. I know Rush fans come form all walks and genders, but I thought it was too cool to see that.
+Geo B Hey, I'm a female, and I love Rush!! Went to go seen them at Montreal for their Rush-40 concert, along with my two other female friends. Music doesn't have any gender guys ;)
It made me so happy to see they expanded the I love you man universe with this golden tidbit. Just a little priceless tiddleeee. Jason Segel and Paul Rudd are such a great duo.
I watch this a few times a month to get a good natured giggle before I start the day. All the "acting" is so natural - I feel like a fly on the wall watching a backstage attempt to meet the guys' favorite band. Rush are natural performers in every aspect and I'd like to think they enjoyed participating in this skit. What a bonus! "That sign, is for like Roadies and stuff, OK?" Dude! I don't think Tom Sawyee would think that's ok either. LOL
I listened to Rush this AM and the song Time Stand Still randomed up. Hit me in the feels in a good and bad way. Life moves fast and i recall listening to these guys 40 years ago at age 13 (2112) and being blown away.
Seeing Geddy Lee say "Slappin' dat bayuss!" and then giving double deuces has completed my life. I don't need anything more.
@@sammyborhap ...Why?

@@stevedi Yes. Neil Peart passed in 2020 because Jason Segel ate his sandwich 9 years prior... lol

Neil Peart has a voice that makes him sound like he's reading an audible book to you all the time.
him and Mike Rowe, they have the perfect voices for reading stuff
Telanstus Evan Delisle Do you guys know he read for the audiobook of Clockwork Angels by Kevin J. Anderson? It's like hearing God himself reading the Bible.
i didnt, now im going to find it though. thank you
Enjoy! It's a fun book.
Considering how Neil has narrated his own books he's written, that's oddly fitting.
"When you're playing the drums - is that hard?" "Yes, it's hard."
Lol 😂
So funny!! hahahaha!!! :)
Jafar Jaffery 😂😂😂😂
Not hard for him! RIP

@@mycroft16 " 7 females at a rush concert" God i miss Neil already
I guarantee Alex insisted Neil do his lines to keep him engaged. Alex is the natural comedian.
I find it hilarious that Neil doesn't get mad until he sees they ate his sandwich..
Justin Stearns Honestly, all of them are such down to earth guys that they probably would act just like this if they were faced with this situation.
+Justin Stearns And then tell him how his own name should be pronounced ROFL. Double whammy.
"Hey! Is that my sandwich?!"
Neil doesn't get mad, he just gets security
Justin Stearns He threatens to call security! I love it. Funny SOBs RUSH are
Exit the warrior- RIP Neil Peart. Such a class act.
I wish I had thought to say that!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well done.

Great Stuff...Paul Rudd randomly came on stage during the Rush show in Kansas City a few months ago and danced around with the string players.
That line delivery from Neil. "Im gonna get somebody to come down here and kick your ass if you don't leave now!"
I love the way all three of them shift their attention to the nine-string bass. That's an absolutely wonderful touch.
This depiction of Rush fans is totally wrong. We would be nowhere near that in-control and calm. ;)
Right! I could hardly breathe let alone speak!
Well maybe. If your a fan, you know that they don't like the crazy, in a mad stuper fanzone thing. Especially Neil. So I'd just relax and say hey

I am a female who is a huge fan of Rush. My first Rush album was Fly by Night. Been a huge fan ever since.
Jason and Paul's characters acted just like all of us Rush fans fear we would act in that situation and Rush acted worse-case-scenario in response. And then they signed the 9-string and our faith in Rush is confirmed. This sketch could not have been written more perfectly. Genius stuff. Love that Rush participated and acted so spot-on.
He does say tom sawyee sometimes lol
PackersBrewersROCK But not where the Rudd character says he does. He doesn't say it in the beginning; he says it at the END of the song: "Exit the warrior, today's Tom Sawyeee, he gets high on you, and the energy you trade..."
Mark Daniels "He gets right on to the friction of the, DAAAAYY"
Yep
The fact that Rush decided to sign Peter's bass despite that awkwardness, shows that from they are not only the greatest band from a fan's perspective, but also the nicest band in the world.
You do know it's scripted?
The expressions on Alex, Geddy, and Neil's faces were priceless. Funnier than the other two guys. RIP Professor .
So that means there's a double neck signed by all three members of Rush sitting around his house...
yep exactly
We need Paul Rudd's address
The world misses you Neil...but you certainly left a lot of us to ponder with your lyrics as well as true inspiration to kick ass on an instrument.
RIP Professor.
Boy, 2020 started off with Neil dying and the world went straight to hell.
Very nice tribute to RUSH, among other things Thank you.
Neil Peart has a pretty cool voice.
Agreed.
He should do an audio book some time
He did a few audiobooks
Isn't it Pay-EART??
He speaks often during his video available here on YT; a "masterclass" called "Anatomy of a Drum Solo". Highly recommend it. RIP Master Neil.
"Seven females at a Rush concert - must be some kind of a world record." Lol. Neil got me with that one. RIP, man.
Geddy to Neil : "Chill man, chill man."
Hilarious!
Nick Andopolis is screaming right now haha
Yeeeeees !!!
I wonder if he added those extra pieces to his kit so he would have more than Neil
Haha best comment
that basically is nick
This brings back memories. I got to see them on this tour and it is the only time I did. I was 19 and I played bass and I lived rush and was so happy to see them. There was no opening act and they played moving pictures non stop before the intermission. Hands down the best show I’ve ever seen. Now ten years later I can’t help but think about how lucky I was.
7 females at a Rush concert must be some kind of a world record hahhahahahaahha
true, but 1 proud female rush fan here. no band can top them. ever.
@Jay Caldwell Are you creepy on the internet?
@Jay Caldwell No, but I am hot. Trust me.
@Jay Caldwell Gross
I’m one of the lucky men who is married to one of those female Rush fans. I’ve seen Rush on every tour since Permanent Waves in 1980 and never missed a tour following that. My wife had been going to Rush concerts since the Presto tour and that was before I knew her.
We have been to every tour together since Counterparts. the last tour we saw was Clockwork Angles and we will sadly never see them love again. I know how rare female Rush fans are, so I know how lucky I am to be married to one.
Dude, Rush is the greatest band of all time.
A fact.
I'm more of a Queen guy, but Rush is definitely up there.
Gunduy No how about of ALL TIME.
Gunduy that title still belongs to the Beatles, but Rush is great.
@409 lol, the Beatles were much more than just pioneers. That's why they're considered the greatest band of all time.
Got to pay tribute to the only drummer who can wield mjolnir
Well said - I love it!
I've got friends who have met Rush, and they say all the guys are really cool and appreciate their fans.
at the concert in Dallas Sept 2010 they actually played this clip after the show on the big screens. Amazed how many Rush fans had NOT seen that movie yet.
"slappin me base"
Same for the show at red rocks in CO
This is too funny. And Rush are the coolest for playing along! Rush Forever! 🤘
I saw Rush in Baltimore, the Time Machine tour and I had to do a double take...there were two young black females all decked out in Rush apparel at the concert. I know Rush fans come form all walks and genders, but I thought it was too cool to see that.
Det Van Hey man I was at that show!
Bram Elswick Cool, did you see those black chicks at the concert too? lol Even my wife was like, that's unusual, but pretty cool nonetheless.
Det Van Black AND FEMALE!? holy shit.
Not so much the black part but the FEMALE part!?
Marriage material.
+Det Van Check out the Rush in Rio video.....there are plenty of women in the audience ;-)....I was there and can say that it was just like that.
+Geo B Hey, I'm a female, and I love Rush!! Went to go seen them at Montreal for their Rush-40 concert, along with my two other female friends. Music doesn't have any gender guys ;)
Even being told to act 'put off', Rush still were friendly guys. Saw Rush 4x over 2 decades, was always a treat. RIP Neil.
Who remembers Jason Segal's character on "Freaks and Geeks"? A wannabe drummer who was nuts about Neil Peart.
I don't know about Paul but Jason is a true fan in real life
Six more pieces my kit will be bigger than Neil pearts kit !!
Im wondering if he ever got his drum kit up to an even 30 pieces.
@@thotsnpreyers Since everyone on Freaks & Geeks went on to bigger and better things, he's probably all set.
@Mitch Gawlik - Thank you very much for the info! I just finished watching episode 1 and thought it was quite entertaining, too :-)
The BEST skit EVER RIP Neil :( I'm devastated LOVE YOU RUSH!
Geddy lee is the collest guy in the whole world, isn't he?
Especially when he flashes a double ✌🏼 at you. Coolest rock star ever.
The most amazing Rock Star in the universe!
It made me so happy to see they expanded the I love you man universe with this golden tidbit. Just a little priceless tiddleeee.
Jason Segel and Paul Rudd are such a great duo.
Geddy is analyzing and laughing at you at the same time...legend!
I love how Geddy is smiling the whole time.
I watch this a few times a month to get a good natured giggle before I start the day. All the "acting" is so natural - I feel like a fly on the wall watching a backstage attempt to meet the guys' favorite band. Rush are natural performers in every aspect and I'd like to think they enjoyed participating in this skit. What a bonus! "That sign, is for like Roadies and stuff, OK?" Dude! I don't think Tom Sawyee would think that's ok either. LOL
After watching this, my life is complete.
Hillarious in so many ways.
totally teared up - they are so sweet - great guys - totally Canadian - few are like them - great stuff
How they all kept a straight face is amazing
Love how they joke about girls not really coming to their concerts, sooo good.
I listened to Rush this AM and the song Time Stand Still randomed up. Hit me in the feels in a good and bad way. Life moves fast and i recall listening to these guys 40 years ago at age 13 (2112) and being blown away.
I love when Sydney (Jason Segal) calls Alex "Leiflet" lol
Ray Harber So funny! And that moment blows by and gets lost among the more popular jokes: jerkoff station, Pairt, Tom Sawyee, slappa da bass, etc.
