It is so very hard to believe

I'm right there with you my friend. Thank you.

Sad day but their music will live on! God speed,Neil. 🎶🔥🤘🥁

Snowdog sorry , it really sucks he was absolutely the best drummer ever !!!!!!

IKR !! What a shock, fly high brother Neil

You are so right. Pure power and raw talent!

The Hendrix experience

ZZ top are up there aswell.

Thales Suzuki no way in hell

Cream

jajajajajajajaj

my grandmother! 😂

Tony Levin would also have a broom duct taped to his elbow to sweep up the stage! :)

I seen that, great ? Right there

Well, He did learn the lyrics to "Take Off" really fast, so he is a professional!!!😅😅😅

Walter B I don't have to prove shit to a dickhole troll like you. I can't post a pic to the coments, and i can't find my ticket stub (ask your gran'pa what that is), but i can send you pics of the tour program...

S G ignore the trolling buddy 100 times is damn impressive, total respect for that - this R30 tour was my favourite as I truly loved the concert I was at in the UK (although every tour was awesome, R30 was super awesome) It’s hard listening to Rush at the moment without feeling unutterably sad about Neil - we all feel your pain Goddamn he was amazing though - and we’ll always have the music and memories R.I.P Professor Nice comment

@@paulelliott3220 well said bro

I saw the boys live almost 500 times

just neil

Neil wrote the lyrics to about 98% of all Rush songs, but he didn’t write all of the songs. Most of Rush’s music is credited to Lee and Lifeson. They made a great team though with Geddy and Lifeson writing all of those complex musical pieces, Neil’s unique lyrical style was just the cherry on top. The earlier Rush tunes, where Geddy or Alex wrote lyrics were not at all in Neil’s league. The subject matter was far more shallow and the rhythmic structure not as poetic. Lee and Lifeson said they were not really interested in writing lyrics, so they gladly turned that job over to Neil.

The only way I will excuse that is if you are 7 yrs old and grew up in a Mennonite village in the middle of no where!..Oh well...Welcome; we all discovered them once ourselves :) for me ….it was 1977 Hemispheres. La Via Strangiato! What a song!

Caress of Steel, 2112, Moving Pictures, and Rush in Rio live.

@@GSDjrbites I started on the next Album at 14... Well after my friends intro'd them to me after school with All the Worlds a Stage..

I made the comment to someone, my idea of heaven is there will be a hallway of infinite rooms that you can walk into, and each room is any concert you could imagine to be at, especially Rush!

Sonet hock ey fight Hockey fights 1970 I iiiiiiuuuuuuuuuuu

@@willardzalesky8743 Easily the greatest thing ever posted anywhere ever.

How many times did you see Rush live?!

Me too!! 62❤😀

Well, really blessed you are, man... It's a privilege

I didn’t get to see them, you’re lucky!

I'm with you and saw them live since 1974 and lost count how many times but have over 70 ticket stubs and I know I lost a couple during the early times,really buzzed... Best live band ever!

Were

My favorite Rush tune.

The thing that Rush can do that so few bands can is touch you on a mental, physical, and spiritual level like no other. The prof's lyrics always give their songs that extra amazing boost beyond ordinary rock. LOVE these guys.

Amen to that!!!! going to see RUSH perform was my first rock concert ever. Their subject matter when it comes to their lyrics are second to none. They are in a class all their own. I have so many favorites from RUSH but I agree that SUBDIVISIONS is such a profound and important subject to write about. It hits me on so many different levels! I was at Radio City Music Hall at that Concert back in 83'. I can't say enough of RUSH....

My first tattoo I ever get will be the lyrics "Nowhere is the dreamer or the misfit so alone." I just haven't figured out where I want it.

Arnt they all

I have always thought Alex was the best on his instrument of the 3, and grossly under rated ..........BECAUSE the others are tops as well !!!

Red Barchetta

Very cool 😎 👍I have seen them many times 👌👍🇨🇦🍁

professor on the drums, on time is what he does.

Because this is rush 👍🇨🇦🍁😂

Mathias Mercado Because Lerxst plays A LOT and RUSH, being the uber nerds about rehearsals, Reherse the whole show for weeks before hitting the road. Al just makes it look effortless, because he's that good!

I have seen all of them fuck up at one point or an other, but they do it with style and grace, and recover seamlessly.

@@jackmehoff2312 I read once that Alex prepared by practicing 7 hours a day 5 days a week for 8 weeks - to prepare for rehearsals!!! It shows.

perfectly

Ryan Griffith Me too! Sadly I only got to see them twice but they played their hearts out both shows and I couldn’t be happier to be part of music history. Never again will there be a band as musically proficient and talented as Rush.

The police # 2

Primus #3

Ahh, excuse me guys, but he said "best" not good!

sting in The Police

Triumph another Canadian 3 piece band

I saw both tours and I agree with you

Time Machine Tour at the New York State Fair was phenomenal!!!

Jerry hatfield they shouldn't

Jerry hatfield omg! I pray for one more tour! I have never seen them live!!

Unsung hero, in a trio of giants!

He always brings beauty into all heck breaking loose.

My favorite guitarist of all time...from 1978 onward!

Best opening medley ever! Best opening ever!

Awesome medley!! Love it.

jack london yes i saw it five times- they should have played for rock n roll hall of fame induction ceremony

I am good friends with Geddy. I just found this video and Garry ( Geddy ) sees this he won't be happy. This is copyright infringement. Last time I saw Garry we were talking about how any bands trying to make music a career is going to have a hard time making it because of those who download the music freely shows disrespect in that the bands are losing their cut from music sales. Only way to make money is by touring but by the time they pay stage hands, their their flight and their manager it's difficult to make a living.

Btw, it would be great to know the RUSH boys. My impression is they're great guys.

Ok everybody quit watching this because Claude Belanger is good friends with "Garry" and he would be mad if he knew we were watching this.

Mark Roberts sorry to spoil your mood but I'm pretty sure their done touring

But that won't happen again, Yes I have seen them many times myself. Just awesome. 👍🇨🇦🍁

Jimbo Coonass oh so am I! KZfaq live videos, my Apple Music and my live DVD's and great memories of the '84 Grace under pressure tour. And I'm not tiring of one minute, especially since I haven't played Rush in a while. Even more I'm watching every angle when the camera is on Neil- seeing things I just took for granted because he was so incredible- but even more, how his drumming had so many intricate layers, it just became an entire different instrument. Combined with his songwriting. I could call this a premonition, a coincidence, whatever, but Three Dog Night came to my mind while listening to an Argent tune and noticed Russ Ballard wrote a tune that 3 dog night covered, "Liar". I remembered hearing one or more of their members died, a couple of their band members, but Cory Wells - one of the lead vocalists- one of the best harmony bands back then. Tongue in cheek, I thought I guess they became 2 Dog Night. That was Friday 1/10/2020, the day the news broke about Neil. I was at a networking meeting the next day, and was talking about copywriting cover letters and having the skills and talent to write. I also did a google search on one of my PROFESSORS from art college. He was interviewed and shown on KZfaq and discussed how he and other members of his family, like his grandfather, was an avid reader, especially rare books, some worth thousands, even old comic books. The talent of songwriting, especially in Neil Peart's case, came from being an avid reader; it broadens your knowledge- of everything, globally, whether fiction or fact. It certainly is clear in Neil's legacy. And everything I thought about, researched and listened to prior to hearing the sad news-- could have somehow linked together- Writing, losing a member of a music trio- (years ago - but thinking about it days before the news) - maybe just a coincidence, but these premonitions have occurred many times to me- even thinking of a song, and minutes later - boom- it's on the radio. Just saying- may mean nothing- but I can't explain what made me look up stuff, or discussing the craft of creative writing- and the love of reading to enhance those talents. So to the professor of the drums and songwriting- a huge talent, one who has lived through tragedies in his life, Neil, Rest In Peace. This weekend my playlist is all Rush- even documentaries- each member with very unique stories. Right now, everything else in the world- it's on hold. This is about Neil Peart. Time stands still!

Neil

I hear you Mr. Larry Fulmer cool.

I think I gave Dream Theater an honest shot at interesting me but, meh. I just don't see the point in anything they do. It's too self indulgent for me. RUSH never forgets it's about the variety of music, the fans, the excitement and the happiness they express on stage.
