RIP Neil Peart. One of, if not the best drummer, to ever grace the stage.

Neil Peart is "your favorite drummer's favorite drummer". Legendary band.

Alex Lifeson is criminally underrated. He is easily one of the greatest guitarists ever.

My Canadian heart swells with pride every time a new Rush fan is born, and this song has created so many of those!

RIP Neil Peart, he wrote the lyrics to most of Rush's songs and hands down the greatest drummer of all time.

"He knows changes aren't permanent....but change is." Ultimate wisdom in one line. RIP The Professor, Neil Peart.

This song is the culmination of three amazing talents at their prime including the greatest drummer ever. RIP Neil Peart. Love seeing Rush fans born.

06:39 Star inside the circle with a human figure was from their album 2112. The song 2112 proper was like a mini opera, 25 minute long song about a dystopian future where computers rule and all are and tradition are gone. The drummer was a genius - he was the main song writer for the band.

Cool story.....my mom worked in the city and she was on lunch. She saw a group of people waiting in a line to buy something and my mother never liked to miss out on anything lol. So, she got in line and bought 2 tickets to a show. I was 13 years old in the early 80's and she got home that day, and asked me do you know a group name Rush? I said yes and she handed me these tickets and said here I grabbed these at lunch people were waiting in line so I got in line. I started jumping up and down. My mom was an older mom, but pretty cool.

The 3 man symphony. Three amazing friends who happened to be musical geniuses.

Neal Peart’s lyrics are deep. College professors have devoted courses to breaking it down.

Neil Peart was straight up legend. His drum kit was so large, that when they toured the kit would rotate around him and reveal a 2nd drum kit! He would go from one kit to the next while it spun around him. It was insane! And as a result some did not notice that lead singer Geddy Lee was not only singing and playing bass, but he was also playing keys and synthesizers-all at the same time! This trio is one of the greatest acts in hard rock history. BTW Jamie Foxx was introduced to their music while studying at the San Diego Music Conservatory and he is a fan.

Each of those 3 are legends in their respective instrumental fields.

The "star" is NOT a Pentagram, it's a Pentacle which is often used in Wicca and other alternative religions or spiritualism. It's a deeply spiritual symbol for many people and not at all associated with evil.

The astonished amazement I watch wash over peoples faces every time they witness Neil Peart for the first time just gives me immeasurable joy.

Even after 43 years or so it still sounds good.

"Spirit of Radio" is a BANGER from these dudes. They're str8 legends

Rush is one of the best bands of all time and they are from Canada. Geddy Lee on lead vocals, bass guitar, and keyboard. Alex Lifeson on lead guitar, and Neil Peart on drums and he wrote their lyrics🔥🔥.

Rush is in a class by themselves. So many unique attributes, the instrumentation, the talent, the songs, and what happens when they played together was magic.

The craziest thing about rush is the fact that they can make this kind of music with just 3 people

Rush is a band that has purpose for every note and lyric. Nothing is done for filler or as a throw away line. There is so much intelligence and craft to their music.

Neil Peart was widely recognised as being the greatest rock drummer ever. Geddy and Alex are also right up there. Welcome to the bottomless Rush rabbit hole

This is the most technically perfect rock and roll song ever done. RIP Neil, we all miss your music, you were truly one of a kind.

The band has a very libertarian ethos, which always made Rolling Stone Magazine cry like little girls. It's almost criminal to have that much talent in one band. I remember exactly where I was when I heard Neil died. I happened to see the news scrolling across the chyron of a muted television set in a public place. I went to my knees bawling. It was just so unexpected. Onlookers were gawking...I didn't care. I could barely stop crying for two weeks. Thanks for highlighting this elite band. RIP Neil.

RusH was composed of 3 compulsive perfectionist, and genuine good people that do not have any ego trips that have lead to the demise of many successful bands. Truly GREAT musicians that are also truly great friends.... Resulting in some of the cleanest, tightest most amazing music ever made.

Canadian music icons.... :) Hard to believe just the three of them could create such a huge sound :) Check out Neil Peart's drum solo :)

I'm a fifty nine year old canadian Guy who lives about an hour outside toronto. I discovered your channel This past Spring And enjoy it immensely. Its fantastic to see You guys open up two new ideas and ways and it gives me hope for your generation. Love, respect and faith that you young men will undoubtably have wonderful lives ahead of you.

I said to a Spanish friend I knew in the navy “ There are two things that will end prejudice, racism, and bigotry good music and beautiful women. If a person is honest with themselves, good music is good music and a beautiful woman is a beautiful woman. There can’t be any denting that! He agreed with me. GOD Bless!

Neil Peart is considered by many people to be the best drummer of all time! You need to check out Neil Peart's drum solo live in Frankfurt and you will see why he is considered to be the best! Neil has been with Rush from the beginning, with the exception of their first album, Geddy Lee(bass and lead vocals) and Alex Lifeson(guitars) has been in Rush since its inception! Neil also wrote the lyrics to their songs as well! People are surprised when they only 3 guys in the band with this powerful sound! I strongly urge you to watch Neil's drum solo live in Frankfurt, your jaws will be open in amazement, I guarantee it! R.I.P. Neil Peart! I've listened to Rush since 1980! After you check out Neil's solo check out Spirit Of Radio from the Permanent Waves album! I hope you check out more from all three of these geniuses that is Rush! Thank you!

These guys have been playing music together longer than any of y’all have been alive. They are pure legends.

Watching your faces watching this video is the best thing I’ve seen in awhile. You just watched the best drummer ever. RIP the goat.

One thing that always blows my mind: these guys played all these instruments LIVE, too! It wasn't unusual to see Geddy Lee with his bass hanging by its strap, while he played keyboards...or to have him playing keyboards with his feet while absolutely shredding on the bass. As to where they were, they were in a rural part of the Canadian Province of Ontario. They're a Canadian band.

No one hit wonder gentlemen. One of the greatest prog rock groups of all time. Plenty to discover...dig in!

Each of these guys are ultra skilled and so talented at the instruments they play. So much talent in one band and the drumming on this track is mindblowing. Great first choice! You should also check out their instrumental YYZ.

One of the greatest bands of all time. Amazing the sound they created with just 3 members. RIP Neil ❤️

I've seen dozens of these Rush first reaction videos and without fail every single time those who are experiencing Rush for the first time are blown away. It's interesting and heartwarming to see people from all different backgrounds enjoy music that they have never been exposed to.

Most people would say Neil (R.I.P.) was indeed an amazing “drummer”, but most importantly an actual, phenomenal “percussionist” and “lyricist”. I highly recommend a live version of “Xanadu”. You guys are amazing. Thanks for your content!!

You just witnessed the best drummer in the world. Neil Peart is the "Professor". Neil Peart is your favorite Rock drummer's favorite Rock drummer.

3 of the most powerful and talented musicians the world has ever seen my friends. And of course, the drummer? The legend Neil Peart. May his soul rest in peace ⚡️

Neil wrote most of the bands lyrics, pure genius, awesome drummer RIP

These guys are so amazing. Welcome to Rush Gentlemen. You will never be the same.

You have now been blessed with the ultimate experience of the worlds best drummer to have ever graced this earth. Welcome to the most down to earth, technically advanced group of three who have a whole collection of great music. Welcome to the Rush family ♡✌

So cool and coincidental that you posted this almost on the anniversary of his passing. Just and absolute beast and creative lyricist. An all time great!! Rip Neil!!

Legendary here in Toronto Canada where Rush is from!!! 🔥🔥🔥 seen them a few times in concert! I was always a huge deal when they would come home to play!

Another great 3-man band is Triumph, also Canadian. Lay It on the Line is a classic you must hear.

Neil Peart and John Bohnam, two of the greatest drummers of all time. I guess I can't forget Richard John Cyril Allen from Def Leppard, dude has one arm! ONE ARM!!!

Moving pictures was my first Rush album. I saw the cassette at a grocery store back then and begged my mom to get it for me. My mom eventually got it for me, and I listened to it nonstop. When CDs came, I ended up getting the CD version. I just love to see your generation experience this music.

This is their studio….I saw Rush live 5 times…they’re different.❤️🎼❤️watch them do it live….seriously they do it all- live🔥

Neil Peart was the drummer. One of the best drummers ever known. His nickname in the music world was “The Professor”. He could do some crazy stuff with the drums.

Spirit of Radio, 2112 so many great songs! This band has been world famous for decades! Millions of hardcore, lifelong fans for a reason. These guys are players! Some of the very best musicians you will ever hear, guaranteed.

Glad you recognize the worlds best drummer of all time...Now you need to watch his famous drum solo....Will blow your mind🤯

I've seen them play live twice. What you get in the studio is exactly what you get on stage. These guys know their craft.

Two good songs in one day. I'm impressed.

You just witnessed the greatess drummer ever! This is the best trio ever! React to "The Spirit of Radio." RIP Neil Peart

The "star inside a circle" is from their "2112" album, the album that went gold and showed they were a top-level band. "2112" is a prog-rock piece that is 20 minutes long and tells the story of a futuristic society that oppressed individual thought and expression. The star and circle is their symbol. The album was so defining for them that the red star became a sort of symbol for the band itself.

There's a legend of these 3 dudes from Canada who were musical wizards, they were called RUSH 💯🖖👽

Opened up a door you can't close. Rush fans are like a religious cult. 3 incredible musicians. In my youth I wasn't a fan, but I had to respect them. And Neil is arguably one of the greatest drummers who ever lived. They call him The Professor.

As someone who has listened to their entire catalogue from to back at least 30 times and worships the ground Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, and Neil Peart walk on, all I can say is that you’re in for a treat. One of the most consistently amazing bands to ever release music. They have as close to a perfect catalogue as a band can get.

Rush had such awesome talent! Amazing! Neal Peart (drummer) was an amazing drummer and story teller, he wrote most of the songs! Getty Lee sang them perfectly! Nobody does like Rush!

goosebumps...this song is in top ten forever for me and RUSH is THE band! I love them..thx and cheers from an old dude...

RIP Neil, the Professor.....the GOAT. The most talented drummer in the history of mankind.

They didn't even comment on the fact that Geddy Lee both played bass and keybord in the song. One of the best bands ever. Period.

All that amazing sound with only 3 people. Best drummer ever. RIP Neal pert

Greatest drummer of all time ⏲️ !! I got to see them many times !! Fantastic concerts 😍 !

Rush has two of my all-time favorite musicians ever. You've got Neil Peart on drums...there's no one better on drums than him, and then there's Geddy Lee on the bass (and lead vocals). He is freaking amazing on the bass. Want to hear a great bass solo? Check out Rush YYZ. Geddy Lee goes insane in that.

The lyrics just hit so hard. Classic, timeless song. RIP NP 🔥❤️🎵

It amazes to this day what these three astounding musicians could produce together. I have been a RUSH fan since 1979...didn't miss a concert tour since July of that year. When Neil died...my heart shattered. They are, to this day, my favorite band of all time.

Congratulations you guys stumbled on one of the greatest rock drummers of all time who has recently passed but you were fortunate enough to listen to the amazing song by an amazing band and one of the world's greatest drummers ever

Back in the day, this was one of those 2:30 in the morning songs playing on the radio while the cops were in the rear-view mirror and the car smelled like weed and every occupant was trashed and you prayed. And then you got to a stop sign and waited for it to turn green.

Look at any list of best drummers of all time and you get Neil Peart … RIP to the best to ever do it

Glad to see you jumping into some Rush. There is a lot to check out with them. YYZ, Subdivisions, Limelight, Freewill, Red Barchetta, Spirit of the Radio, Overture etc... One of the best drummers in popular music of all time. Just a 3 member band!

Rush- the BEST musicians in music history. So much talent in a 3 piece band.

Neil Perit was and is the Greatest Rock Drummer Hands Down.

Finally you guys checked out a requested band! Rush is amazing. Now can you guys please check out some JOURNEY! Steve perrys voice is mind blowing yet so pure and angelic.

Rush is a 3 Man Band. GEDDY LEE is lead singer, guitar player, keyboards, whatever he needs to play. I saw them 4 times in concert. 1978 to 1982. Awesome stage shows EVERYTIME!!!!

Watching them live was incredible. Getty singing, playinjg bass and keyboard at same time. So glad I saw them.

My favorite band, period. Thanks for posting! #ragincajunproud

They are amazing in concert, Rip Neil Peart

Sooo proud of ya'll! Thanks for keeping great music alive!

I've seen Rush in concert 13 times. They were studio perfect every time. ♡♡ WHITE STRIPES IS ONE MAN & ONE WOMAN

For another rock classic and amazing drummer with a huge drum set you gotta react to "The Who - Won't Get Fooled Again (Shepperton Studios / 1978)" this live version too. You need to see them play the instruments live

It's not a pentagram, It's starman from their album 2112, the symbol of the solar federation. By the way, y'all should check out "Freewill" or "The Spirit of Radio." If you want to get into weird stuff, do "2112"

Pure talent! One of the most talented groups of all time!!

Great to see these guys feeling what I felt the first time I listened to Tom Sawyer. Awesome.

Neil Peart, the drummer was known as "The Professor" and "Your favorite drummer's favorite drummer". He's unmatched.

I loved that you were all enveloped in the song and you didn't even have to pause it. That means it's good. No fart reaction is awesome. 😄🙄🤘

Love you guys, listening fom Portugal!!

I grew up listening to Rush and this brings back so many good memories. You guys are awesome!

That star is their trademark, the cover of their "2112" album. If you search for "Rush Starman" you'll see plenty. PS Rush is my favorite band of all time!

Neil Peart is widely considered one of, if not the best drummer of any style out there. He wrote the all the song lyrics too. Very smart man. RUSH is one of those bands where you need to have the words in front of you while you’re listening to them. They are definitely saying something. Arguably the best 3 piece rock band ever. They deliver Big Time!

^ ^ Its incredible that three musicians can make a sound like this in real time One of the best rock bands of all time ! VVxx

One of my favorite songs glad you reacted to it

The 70s music was the most pivotal point in music history. It was the crossroads where all of the past and future (our present) convened one another. Any thing from every decade including today's can be found in that era

Great choice, so many more to choose from. May I suggest " Limelight " . Same album Moving Pictures. Recorded and filmed at Le Studio like this one. Neil's song about his uncomfort with being famous.

My friends and I loved Rush. It’s now so great seeing younger people listening and appreciating the band and the music, too. And with Rush if you like Tom Sawyer, there’s a whole lot more to come.

Welcome to Rush, and their incredible music! Been a fan for over 40 years. Check out Subdivisions, Red Barchetta, and Closer to the Heart!!

I love Rush. I listen to Heavy Metal, and there is a lot of meaning and depth there, but Rush has something special in their music. Magic. You literally get transported. The only artist I can think of who does this similar is Kendrick Lamar. I know it sounds crazy, and their styles and everything couldn't be more different, but they both transport you via the music man.

Another great tune from Rush is The Spirit of Radio So many tempo changes...

Rush are my musical heros. As amazing as they sound on studio cuts that ere even better live. I saw them live in the early 90s. Hands down the best live act I have ever seen.

Thank you from Canada 🇨🇦 ❤
