This is how I will remember Taylor Hawkins. Two giant drummers now rocking together in heaven. 💔 Rest In Peace Neil & Taylor

Dave passionately naming off every album title in chronological order… that really got to me… what a legacy of incredible music.

Two drummers gushing over Neil Peart....love it.

I think the guys from Foo Fighters are more happy about this induction than Rush themselves

i'm so happy that Neil was still alive to be inducted into the Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame. he has been my biggest inspiration as a drummer. i will miss him until the day i die.

This is the best induction speech I've ever heard.

This was probably the most sincere induction speech ever. They were both true fans of the band. Every word was meaningful, and heart felt. Awesome job gentlemen.

I love Taylor Hawkins jumping up and down like a kid talking about Neil Peart. Such a great loss to the music world. RIP.

This, dear Ladies and Gentlemen, is how create a perfect speech. It's filled with witts, humor, a bit of irony but mostly it's filled with true love and devotion for the people you talk about. Great job Dave and Taylor, you did them justice!

That's how you fucking induct a band into the R&R Hall of Fame. Dave Grohl rocks, as if you didn't already know that. And Rush is totally cool, some of the greatest rock musicians to ever live.

Best induction ever !!! Goosebumps every time Dave chronologically lists ALL their records ! ! ! Impressive... both Dave and Rush

Bitter sweet......seeing Neil brings me to tears.

Kept out of the Hall for many years, only to have the best induction ever.

taylor hawkins : whos drummer who writes the lyrics? dave grohl: am i a joke to you?

Learning of Taylor Hawkins untimely passing, I had to come back and watch this video again. His genuine, boy-like enthusiasm as he’s jumping up and down behind Dave, is my favorite part of the entire induction. Taylor genuinely loved this band and genuinely loved music. Rest In Peace, Taylor.

“Axl Rose sightings” 😂

This is the best, most energetic induction speech I’ve ever seen and Rush deserved every second of it. How cool is that, being inducted and adored by the two coolest guys in rock.

Dave Grohl really knows how to work a crowd. Came here for my love of RUSH, stayed for DG's amazing hype.

I'm crying. Can't believe I never had the chance to see this band alive. Rush forever.

There will NEVER be a another band like Rush in our lifetime ! Missing the Professor emencly & his partners in crime , Alex & Geddy we miss you guys too much !!! Your guys' music lives on in our world for generations to come !!!

Not even a Foo Fighters fan, but maybe the best induction speech ever.

I never get tired of watching this incredible tribute to the greatest band ever RUSH. Taylor and Dave did an amazing speech and said everything brilliantly about the 3 master musicians we all have learned so much from.....RIP Neil and Taylor. You guys are both missed a great deal.

Rush helped me over depression. Only god knows how wish I had seen them live. Thank you , greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷

*Neil Isn't dead* *God just wanted drumming lessons* EDIT: RIP Taylor.

So glad that Rush...especially Neil Peart finally get the recognition they deserve.

It's criminal that it took until 2013 to get them inducted. They should've been the first band. They are the greatest band of all time.

It's honestly very hard to come back to this video again to watch my second favorite drummer of all time introduce my favorite drummer of all time for his induction into the pantheon of greats and know that both are gone. They love on through their music, but the world is less bright and joyful without them. Miss you both, brothers.

Give me the chills when mentioned all albums, it´s a long story to tell

Taylor Hawkins' enthusiasm will sorely missed. RIP Neil and Taylor

One of the best RNRHoF introductions ever.

Dave and Taylor the right guys to induct Rush into the Hall of Fame. Ever since I saw Dave Grohl how much he suffered when he found out Taylor had an overdose (I believe this happened in a Europe tour) and how truly was worried about Taylor to the tears, I knew this guy was a good friend, on top of that he said to Taylor, I lost Kurt, I don't want to lose you too. For that, I know this is not just another empty speech.

Neil and Taylor are up there absolutely shredding and trading drum solos and just jamming. We miss you both.

Greatest induction speech ever.

Rush deserves everything

REST IN PEACE TAYLOR AND NEIL

wow! That has got to be one of the best introduction speeches to the hall ever! Hats off to Taylor and Dave!!

One if thee most underated band on earth! I was 17 when I got my first Rush album, 2112! A fat joint my high scho sweetheart lights down and volume up! Wtf was that after side 1, we were hooked! Well I just turned 60 and I've been with my high school sweetheart 44 years now and we still pull out that same exact album roll our fat joint and listen in total awww. Thank you Rush for the decades of pure kick ass rock! Forever grateful 🙏

I still get teary eyed when I watch this. It was too long coming, Rush belonged in the Hall from day 1!

Absolutely epic! Rest in Love, Taylor

neil, he rides along in my 67 pro tour camaro all the time 800 watts per channel listening to rush we miss him

Perfect speech.

Watching this since Taylor’s passing always makes me tear up now, he’s drumming with Neil now ❤️

Taylor was jumping up and down for all of us. Now he’s with Neil jamming together in heaven. 💔

Rewatched first time since 2013 and ... good gawd, it sure hits even harder with the passing of 2 percussion gods.

As a Canadian, Rush is instilled in us and we bleed Rush !!

Taylor and Neil were two of the nicest, and most generous drummers I've ever had the pleasure of connecting with. Hanging w Taylor and exchanging letters with Neil was amazing. So grateful.

At 4:57, i never noticed Alex's mom waving her arms in excitement sitting with Neil Peart's parents located at the bottom right of the screen. Very Cool!!!

THE BEST duo to give the best speeches! They deliver like no other!!!

Millions of Rush fans around the world... would have given the exact same energy and passion in their speech given the chance. Dave and Taylor speak for all of us.

The best HoF intro ever. Pumped up and tears! Dave is awesome.

This induction speech and Springsteen's induction of U2 are my favorite ones.

Simply the best rock musicians I've ever seen live.

Best there is, best there was, and the best that will ever be RIP Neal ❤❤

My favorite band. I'm so sad I never got to see them play. I listen to em every day.

IBEST INDUCTION SPEECH EVER!!! Nothing else comes close. Rush’s performance afterwards simply blows you away. The fans in the audience absolutely BROUGHT IT. Love the rip on Rolling Stone 😂

Great induction speech. Whatever disappointment and/or resentment Neil, Getty or Alex may have had from having to wait way too long to be inducted into the RRHOF, Dave and Taylor gave them the warmest of receptions and heartfelt praise which the rest of the audience wholeheartedly supported. RIP Neil and Taylor. .

RIP Taylor 🙏 💔😥💔

the real reason why I went to Canada to get my post graduate degrees is ... Rush. when I was asked, why do you want to go to Canada, my answer is ... Rush. that's all. we all laughed, but that was it. to me, Rush is part of my history. I did not mention that I was playing Rush when I was in high school. Playing Xanadu, etc. while my peers were into disco. ha ha ha.

Brings tears to my eyes. Well deserved and LONG overdue. This speech NEVER gets old.

Taylor hasn't aged a day since he first appeared on stage during RnR HoF

My two all time favorite bands!

Love the Foos!

Best Hall of Fame induction ever

OH my God!!! I've watched this video yesterday. When I woke up this morning, i saw the news of Taylor's passing. R.I.P. Taylor.😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥

I love Rush. Dearly. I wish John Rutsey at least got a thank you. That first album is killer.

Awesome induction. I loved every second of it. Rush rules the rock world and I really miss Neil beyond belief. RIP Neil.

RUSH is THE PERFECT EXAMPLE of the fluidity of MASTERING TIME SIGNATURES! I play drums and there are a few things that you need to know about Neil Peart’s ( pronounced PEER-T) character: First he writes the lyrics so he knows in advance what TYPE of song it’s meant to be ie ballad, driver, etc. Second he COMPOSES on the drums… like a carpenter who looks at a set of blueprints before building the object. Neil lays out a SKETCH in his mind of the VOICES of the drumset and builds the song from there. He is also a great LISTENER knowing when NOT to step over Geddy’s singing or Alex’s solos! Finally, he had perfect timing and fluidity of time changes. He said himself that it’s not about COUNTING the time signatures as much as fluid motion to change the tempo without counting: in other words it should FLOW! He hates repeating the same drum patterns in the same song meaning if he plays a fill one way the first time around he will play it differently the second time around. IE. Rolls down the toms the first time around and triplets or quads (all four limbs) the second time around. In short there will NEVER be another like him on planet earth 🌍 🌏 🌎! REST IN PEACE PROFESSOR! With heart felt admiration and sincerity! Gary

These were two of the most unique and influential drummers in history and Taylor being unaware of his own greatness , was one of the biggest drummer fanbois ever seen. He legitimately idolized his favorite drummers even after being one of the greatest performers behind a kit. That's so rare. Yeah, Heaven definitely has their hands full up there with these two! Dont know if this was ever mentioned but, Taylor is the only man alive that possesses a pic of him with his arm around Neil. Drummers like myself would give a hemisphere of brain matter for a photo like that. I still have dreams of hanging out with Neil and talking shop.The Foos and Taylor actually got me through Neil's untimely death as I already knew before this that Dave and Tay were lifelong fans. Then we lost Taylor...Fuck! RIP Gentlemen...

Great stuff. RIP professor P. Grohl nailed it. RUSH till the end.

I watch this video at least three times a week. It's simply one of the best induction speeches I've ever heard. (Tom Morello's induction of Kiss is platinum as well!)

Dave at his heart is a true fan of rock and roll. He is to rock and roll what Quentin Tarantino is to movies.

1981, Moving Pictures Tour, Lakeland Civic Center in Lakeland Florida. The one and only time I saw Rush in concert. It was 2 weeks before I went in the Navy and I will remember that show as long as I live. Amazing vocals, music, and yes, of course drums. I do recall however that there weren't many girls there.

Of course I knew who Dave and Taylor were, but that night, they gained a life-long fan in me! I still can't watch this without tearing up near the end!! THAT was a 'FAN' reciting all those Rush albums! Thank you Dave! Thank you Taylor! Love you guys, man!!

These two guys are simply awesome! Best speech ever! .........Oh ...yeah....right....and Rush is pretty good too.

Best induction ever. Rush such iconic band. So happy Neil was there. RIP master

Damn, Dave Grohl Is Such a good Storyteller and Public Speaker

I learned how to play bass in a trio because of geddee. I studied intelligent lyric writing with Neil. I learned to explore deviations on chords and still keep it harmonic and melodic with Alex. I might not like every rush song, but respect the musicianship, creativity and integrity. Thank you for your music and modest mentoring.

Neil sitting there thinking "Beam me up Scotty" due to uncomfortable amount of fan worship. He can't pretend a stranger is a long-awaited friend.

Every time I watch this video I think of Taylor and Neil. Neil was a legend and it’s so obvious how much respect Taylor had for Neil. Will miss both of them for sure but Rush without a doubt is still the best band ever.

Taylor....the ultimate fanboy jumping up and down. Another tragic loss that hurts badly. Condolences to Taylor's family, the Foo family, the Rush family, his friends, colleagues and fans.🙏😔

That's a rock and roll speech right there...

The most aptly named band of all, their music and performances truly were and are a total RUSH. Big love and respect to them.

a day to remeber my hero just watching all videos i can with neil this one still gives me goosebumps RIP Neil thanks for all you have gave me even though we have never met, may be on the other side.

“Wheres axl hi axl hi axl”

Beautiful.... such amazing gifts they have each given to music to all of us.

I still watch this at least once per year. So awesome to have actual fanboys giving a sincere, fun, energetic, induction.

BRAVO BRAVO I've never been so entertained in my life. Love RUSH 4EVER !!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Neil and now Taylor 😢 Rest in peace Taylor 🙏.. Another great drummer in the Heavens. Now you and Neil can jam for eternity..

I just spent couple days fly fishing on The Deshutes River and Limelight was on repeat in my head the whole time. Great Band.

Great tribute by the Foo Fighters to Rush, RIP: Taylor Hawkins...

Seen them 3 times … best concerts I’ve ever experienced.

I'm 56 years old and a drummer of 30 years of younger back from 9 years of age. All do respect to the great John Bonham who taught me really good hard Rock drumming... it was when I discovered "The Professor" with 2112 hearing him do things (within the songs themselves) that I knew I reached a higher level of Drum playing then the Live solo's from "All the worlds a stage to Exit" and complex elaborate playing from "Hemispheres" and then to Waves to Moving Pictures. Expanding my set along with tons of practice mastering a fair amount of Rush songs...then my brother and friends saw me has a really good drummer lol. Thanks to the Master Peart. --------------------------- Other Drummer Influence's as well, Buddy Rich, Carl Palmer, Bill Buford, Alan White, Portnoy & Carey etc...hmmm yeah even Grohl for he is the Devil and is compleeete! lol

Long over due this should have happened years ago well deserved guys rip Neil 🙏

Can't get better than that!

Best induction ever. What a great, and now bittersweet, moment.

One of the greatest Bands ever

Rush IS the rock and roll hall of fame.

Best induction ever.

Simply spectacular!!

Awsome been waiting for this for years
