If you are curious about Neil’s motorcycle travels, he wrote several books about them. “Ghost Rider” is quite deep, as he was dealing with the tragic losses of both his daughter and his wife a year later. Neil jumped on his bike and road over 55,000 miles to “heal” and search for a reason to live. It’s a great “how to” book for anyone who has endured a personal tragedy in their lives and it provides both hope and inspiration. Neil left us with a tremendous amount of his personal wisdom in his books and I would recommend any one of them wholeheartedly.

On being a 3 piece I have heard interviews where when asked about adding another member they said either of 2 things, firstly it could spoil the synergy they have and secondly (and my favourite reason) "I think the fans like to see us struggle"😂 It is true as a life long fan I would hear the new album back in the day and wonder how in the name of god will they manage THAT live? They always did. Amazing musicians and just 3 very nice people who loved each other and loved making music.

J.S. Bach to Geddy Lee..."Hold my beer". Not sure how many get that but for those not in the know, Bach played the organ with BOTH hands and feet hundreds of years ago. He had a set of pedals at his feet that were a keyboard. There are still many out there today who can do this. With that said, Geddy, Alex, and Neil are by far the most talented set of musicians because they would do it live, night after night, after night around the world. I appreciate how you appreciate these gentlemen. It is nice to see there are still those out there who can appreciate music.

Pretty much every organ I've seen even electric ones have the foot pedals. It's part of the instrument. Otherwise it's just a keyboard. And there are many who do this. The difference here is that Geddy is playing different instruments which are played in entirely different manners. Strumming amd fingerings vs keying. He's disconnecting the actions vs adding "hands" doing the same thing. I'm a pianist and tried organ. It's akin to Neil playing 2 time signatures at the same time between his hands and feet. Bach was no slouch though. One ofbthe most talented composers. Left us with a mountain of incredible music. Beethovem was deaf. He had the legs of his piano removed and sat on the floor, FEELING the notes by the vibrations the piano made. Pretty sure no one else has done that since. Not even Rush. Mozart and his ridiculous idetic memory and ability to literally hear an entire symphony in his head and write down every part immediately amd hand them to the Orchestra members as he did.

This is not meant as any challenge to Rush because well, you already know. A band that formed about a year after Rush (1969) in England and made a huge impact early was Emerson, Lake and Palmer. They are also a progressive rock group that were coined as a "Supergroup" at the time. They have a great catalogue and for a start maybe you would enjoy "Lucky Man". "Fanfare for the Common Man" and "From the Beginning". These gentlemen had an incredible pedigree before they joined ranks and I think you will enjoy their special talent.

I agree that if there was a 3 piece contender to Rush's crown, it would be ELP. They were great musicians (particularly Keith Emerson and Carl Palmer) and provided a very full-sounding experience. HOWEVER, I have to say that the quality of the prog rock ELP created was, for me at least, less thematic, less melodic, and more convoluted, than that of Rush. After much reflection, what has stood out for me is the quality of Rush's compositions, most particularly what they were creating in a six album stretch from "2112," "A Farewell to Kings," "Hemispheres," "Permanent Waves," "Moving Pictures," and (though some might disagree) "Signals." Never before or since has there been an outpouring of such creative compositional genius in rock music. And I say that as a fan of some of the prog greats, including Genesis, Yes, Kansas, ELP, and Jethro Tull.
@rodneyhearne34052 жыл бұрын
@@markstromberg1148 I agree with most of your points and appreciate your comments very much. I think that Rush was a very accessible prog group and that is meant as a compliment. They really did create memorable melodic music and for that I think that makes their music timeless in many ways. Of course this began for me as a commentary of other 3 member bands that made great or moreover epic music and Rush really fills the bill. I confess that I have seen some legendary bands from the 60's like Cream and Jimi Hendrix Experience (both in 1968) and although amazing and filled with their own greatness they certainly weren't prog groups and not the least bit complicated. With the bands you mentioned above it is a very good example of some early prog music, interestingly often British that were of course bands with more members. I think that many would agree that Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin were very much in the Prog world but of course for me, those elements aren't the first thing I think about when I consider their sound. Over the last 25 years for my personal consumption I have probably been to see Dream Theater, Porcupine Tree (Steve Wilson), The Flower Kings, Marillion, Haken, Thank You Scientists more than any other groups. There sure is a lot of great music past and present. Thanks for the reply, cheers!

ELP in studio could rival Rush as a 3 piece band but if you watch any of ELP's live performances they just could not do what these 3 guys could do, ELP's live stuff you'll find to be sloppy one reason I believe is Geddy, Alex, and Neil were always stone cold sober unlike most Rock bands, example is Zeppelin Bozo is right up there with Neil but he could hardly sit on his stool as he was wasted most of the time, which of course is what lead to his early demise

That is a bummer in regards to KZfaq. This was an excellent performance but if you have the chance watch the one from Exit Stage Left. There is more of an intro with Neil playing a number of different percussion instruments. It has a bit more of an organic feel. Neil's last name is pronounced PearT. Neil has written a number of books as well. One I have read is Far and Away which he writes about his motorcycle adventures amongst other things. He would always take the back roads and had one of the crew riding with him. He loved exploring nature. Cheers

Yep, he's playin' it with his feet. I've seen footage of him where he's hammering-on/pulling-off on the neck of his bass, stomping pedals, and doing something on the keyboard with his right hand while belting out the vocals. All three of them individually are 4-star premium musicians - in spades. Neil with the MalletKat and the rest of the triggers he can beat on back there, never mind the actual drumkit itself - has a "backing band" of his own if he wants it, you've seen what Geddy can do, and Alex just keeps giving it his everything on the guitars and guitar-like instruments, and though it isn't usually visible, he's got a bank of effects buttons, AND a pedal-board like you saw Geddy running that he uses in the appropriate places. Put 'em all together, and you've got one helluva band. RIP Neil.

One of the things I’ve always loved about Rush is that the bass was always right up front in the music. They didn’t bury it in the background like so many other bands did. But maybe that was a function of the bass player being the lead singer. No matter, I’m just glad they did it that way. One of the really cool things about this song is how it seems so almost like an orchestral piece with the different movements as it goes along.

I remember when this came out. It goes well with weed. They are huge weed fans. Check out "A Passage to Bangkok" where they celebrate it in all of its forms. Legally of course. If you like Rush, and epic songs like this, check out a band called "Yes." A huge influence on them and their bassist (The Late Chris Squire) was Geddy's favorite. His first bass was a Rickenbacker, same brand as Chris used. Alex is a Jimmy Page fan. One of their best known songs, from their early-ish days was "Roundabout," where the "To be continued..." comes from. Geddy played Chris' bass part when "Yes" were inducted into the RRHoF. *** Check out Starship Trooper. The second movement has a countrish vibe, and the guitarist, Steve Howe, has a lot of country influences. Have fun exploring Yes on YT or off.

Hands down the best 3 piece band and arguably the best guitarist, bassist, and drummer to ever form a band. The sex and drugs weren't what they were interested in (OK, SOME DRUG related shennanigans may have happened!!!). That's why they were soooooo f-ing good (no Kiss or Motley Crew here). This was their profession and more importantly, their passion, and that's exactly how they approched their career and every show they ever played. Small venue, big venue, for them it was about delivering the best performance they could. I went to see them every tour from 1980 until the end. With the exeption of one show I went to, they were absolutely phenomanol. They strived to be the best they could be. I was so lucky to be turned onto Rush by a random bass player I met when I was playing drums in misc bands.

Another three-piece band that I'm rediscovering is Kings X, a bit heavier, but still a bit prog. Oh, it's Neil Piert phonetically.

This recording of Xanadu is missing the first third of the song, and they skipped the last verse. It's also after Neil replaced most of his exotic instruments with electronics.

Both Alex Lifeson and Geddy Lee play foot pedals which is basically keyboard for feet.

You need to check out this song 1981 exit stage left. Incredible!

but he does play the pedals and bass simultaneously. It's nice that although from a different genre of music you can see and appreciate the talent!

He actually started riding a 12-speed to each show and was too worried he wasn't going to make it so switch to motorcycles down the road

Those pedals are Taurus Bass pedals. Both Geddy and Alex play them

Neil's last name is pronounced Peert and his riding the motorcycle is his therapy for social anxiety he always shyed away from interviews and let Alex and Geddy handle all of that

No brother, you're correct, the most massive sounding 3, 4, 5 or more piece band that you can hear.

I don't think you will find a three MAN band with a fuller sound and you'd be hard pressed to find a band tighter musically than they are. they're all focused , they're all in time, they are all on point, always !!! I've seen them live several times and I never seen one of them out of sync, off tempo, out of time, nothing !! they're the fullest three man band ever and they are also the tightest band period, I've ever heard.

Neil began riding his motorcycle from show to show after the death of his son. He was dealing with a lot of emotional stuff, obviously, and need time to himself when they were on the road. A roadie went with him just incase something bad happened.

Best and break out album 2112 (long). Instrumental singalong YYZ in Rio (includes Morris code). Album don't forget moving pictures or exit stage left. Niel Piert wrote almost everything. It is pronounced like Pierce with a spear.

This song more than any other, solidifies Neil Peart’s position, not just as the best rock drummer, but the best rock “percussionist”. You can see his intensity, as he changes different striking instruments, like a mad scientist adding a pinch of this and a dash. And it’s all inspired by a classic Samuel Coleridge poem
