A little bit of Professor´s Childhood and when he joined to Rush. Neil Peart, Drummer, Drums, Jazz, Rock, Prog Rock, Rush, Geddy Lee Alex Lifeson Guitar Bass guitarist bassist
Yup, I mean I love other bands too and the deaths of members of those bands are sad but this one hurts especially bad, been a fan of Rush since the early 80s
well put, but i have to be honest - tried very hard to like Rush.. I could tell they were very good musicians individually, but after buying album after album (yes, albums-this was the 70's) looking for the magic , I thought I'd finally found it w/ 2112, the opening tune - BUT, It didn't stick...I just never felt it-even saw Rush more than once, as an opening act no less for The BOC and another time for Aerosmith. Anyway, my friend wasn't aware of Rush at that time and he was a keyboards player in a local band - well, one day we go to see them play and they open w/ Temples of syrinx? - He had borrowed my album!!!
You are absolutely correct. Rush is a band that affected you or didn't. If they did, they changed your life and that feeling of getting them was magical, life changing and forever from that point on. if you didn't u just hated them and that was it. The ones that do were blessed in my opinion.
This is when you stand atop the spiral stair, then exit stage left. Yet, More is to come; the NWO doesn't even have their Temples of Syrinx complete yet. The future world war is the 2112 Overture ending in destruction crashing sounds, not "the end of the world", but the full NWO birth into a very brief world rule. Could have called this album 2037. Then, shortly thereafter something else "assumes control".
Scott Wooley 77 for me. I was 13 and remember my friends big sister playing 2112. I became a RUSH fan instantly rocking hard to their music attending a few concerts along the way. I’m 55 now and still listen to Hemispheres, Bastille Day, Fly by Night And 2112 often. Thanks for the great music Neil!
I think part of what made Neil Peart so successful was that he had both of his parents support right from beginning right from the start. That has a tremendous impact on someone when their parents believe in them to do something. It wasn't like he rebelled or was in angst and frustrated so he went out on this quest to become a rockstar. He had a heartfelt desire to become a credible musician and he had the support of his parents - that's incredible.
From humble beginnings to spending four decades in the greatest band on the planet. Neil was a brilliant lyricist and master musician. He was more than a drummer. He had the gift of taking percussion instruments and orchestrating them into a rhythmic journey, using the canvas of percussion sounds to produce artistry in its purest form. Rush would not have scaled the musical heights they did without him. The three of them together shared a unique chemistry, and were the perfect "counterparts" to each other. RIP Professor.
He wasn’t just one of the greatest musicians ever. He was an incredible mind and spirit. He wrote all Rush lyrics, which many are simply poetry. A real intellect. Sadly missed! 😪 RIP Neil
Neil Peart was my hero since 5th grade. I'm 43 now. I thank this man & Rush for a body of work that was phenomenal. There will never be a band quite like them. So many great musicians did drugs to the point of dying before making it to 30. This band gave us their all up until the last second. They lead by example & didn't complain nor bitch about being snubbed by the Hall of fame for all of those years. They just put out more music year after year. Just knowing that we saw them from beginning to end was a wonderful experience & they did it with more class than anyone we've ever seen. R.I.P. Neil Peart
Well said, caress of steel hooked me in as a kid in 1975, I saw their last show in L.A. with my friend and his kid and RUSH was flawless.... I knew it was their last show because Neil took out his personal camera as Alex and Geddy turned to face him with all the fans in the background. Obviously this was planned, then surprisingly Neil joined them for a quick bow... First time I ever saw him do that, and it was bittersweet cause it hit me hard right then, I knew it would be the the last big show.... Now with all hope gone for any glimpse finally starting to heal and appreciate all that he was to so many good people.... One if the greatest humans in history....
@@latentsea I pay the same respect back to you. Very well written. These 3 men were the best 3 piece rock and ever in my opinion. Thank you for sharing your story. 🤘🏻
I had just finished cleaning the windshield on my car. Got in and buckled up, then decided to check my phone before I got back under way. The headline popped up and read 'Neil Peart drummer of the band Rush dead at 67'....I sat there shocked. I drove behind the gas station and texted my good friend John and told him, he was also shocked and bummed. I sat in my car for about 25 minutes before my eyes were clear enough to drive. This one was like a swift kick to the nuts....They have been my favorite band since '79. RIP Neil, thank you so much for the awesome lyrics. Specifically Freewill and Subdivisions. You were the greatest rock drummer of all-time!!
I've seen RUSH/Neil Peart here in Texas five times over the years. Every time was a special treat! R.I.P. Neil Peart from the great state of Texas. Thank you.
Rest in Peace Neil 🙏 The channel name says it all..... Gods of Rock !!! Our great Rock family has lost one of their really big ones again This is a very very sad day
Made me cry when he said ….” and they picked me “ You could see he was getting emotional about it ….. so grateful I got to see them 54 times live including the first one in 2002 in Hartford when he came back from his tragic family situation and the very last show in LA 8/1/15
It’s like every you tube video of anything to do with Neil or Rush has comments saying goodbye to the worlds greatest drummer. He is why I am a drummer today. He was and is still so loved. We are all going to miss Neil Peart “the Professor “ so dearly. So sad to see him leave.....
My best friend told me about his passing and we shared that moment like we shared so many Rush concerts and late night gaming and drinking and eating binges to their music. Now it's been over a year since her own passing. Damnit
''People say we're the soundtrack of their lives and I really like that!'' -- Neil Peart So many lives were touched by your music Neil. Your legacy is eternal. RIP
I was lucky enough to see him in person years ago. Back in the early 80’s on the ‘moving pictures’ tour. Great great tour. Those were the days and some of Rush’s best albums. RIP Neal. You will be missed. Legendary band. In fact....🤔gotta listen to some Rush tonight.
Same here as well. My uncle took me to my first concert on the Moving Pictures tour. That began my love affair with Rush. Best rock trio of all time. We are lucky to have a lifetime of their music to keep listening to.
I had the opportunity to see RUSH 23 TIMES LIVE LET ME JUST SAY THEY WERE THE BEST TIMES OF MY LIFE. RIP NEIL PEART.IF NO ONE OUT THERE HAS NEVER HEARD THE SONG NAMED THE GARDEN IT'S A MASTERPIECE IT'S THE LAST SONG ON THEIR LAST ALBUM CLOCKWORK ANGELS MAKES ME TEAR UP EVERY TIME I PLAY IT.
Rush was a major influence in my early music career. When I was 17 my mom and dad bought me a Rickenbacker 4001 just like Gettys For Christmas three out of my five sisters were tom boys even race motocross with me. My sisters went out and bought 2112 I was 13 years old. My sister said listen to this I sat down took a couple of puffs off a joint and she put on 2112 in my life was never the same. It was weird because no one really knew who they were it was like my own little hidden secret. I’m sickened and saddened by the death of Neil. I can’t even imagine how Alex and Getty are feeling. Still doesn’t seem real. But I still honor him by listening to one album a day. Listen to hemispheres today. Actually So blessed I seen the hemispheres concert in Salt Lake City at the salt Palace, I was able to see them seven times.
i am taking to my grave the memories of experiencing this man power of drumming, his lyrics, and his kindness, damnnn man, what a lost. I am glad i get to see the Professor live twicein my life, in Maryland during the Time Machine tour and in 2015 here in Washington during the R40 tour. RIP Professor.
Wow how lucky can someone get. You're working at a regular job somewhere next thing you know you're spending 40 years touring with a band doing your dream
NEIL PEART... What a wonderful drummer, lyricist, and soul. That most definitely is an understatement, but I don't know if anybody can verbally express the amount of appreciation that many around the world have for this man, including me. He has inspired generations and will continue to inspire generations of artists. Bravely expressing how it feels being an introvert, he has made me feel more of a relatable character to a part of the human race by displaying the fact that there are many shy folks out there too, but ,as he has shown, that doesn't mean you can't still take the role of being a bright, beautiful soul. I hope to hear you hammer away live in Heaven one day, and I hope that you are having a great time with your daughter and wife there as well!!! 🥁
Did Neil just say Rogers 18" bass drums?!!! God bless him man. My heart is broken by this beautiful musical / human being. R.I.P. Professor Peart, and give John H. Bonham a huge hug from all of us drummers here on planet Earth. God bless...❤🥁🥁🥁🥁❤
I'm sure the kids in the schools were like.................. who........the..........HE** is that on the friggin drum kit!?!?!?!?!?!? MINDS BLOWN!!!!!!!!!!!
Vendo esse pequeno resumo da historia do maior Baterista de todos os tempos Neil Peart ...com muitas lágrimas e tristeza ...pois a Banda Rush, ( Conheci e me encantei em 2007), foi a base do meu Casamento ...que infelizmente estou divorciado atualmente .
To have been able to just sit and shoot the shit with him. Not as a fan but like sit at a dinner and strike up conversation not knowing who he is and just talk. What a incredible soul
RUSH fans - we mutually share this sadness, but in our grief are we able to draw anything POSITIVE from this tragedy? Not only was Neil possibly the greatest Rock drummer of all time, but also he was a great humanist who accepted science, championed the environment, and promoted compassion. His poetic lyrics fought against corporate greed, the destruction of our world, and the media dehumanizing of us as individuals. He also lauded our abilities as agents of change and encouraged us to improve our lives and the lives of all inhabitants of this world. His death is tragic but if anything POSITIVE can come of it then maybe it should be this, a recognition of the link between mobile/cell phones and brain cancer - and what are we going to do about it? As a lifelong atheist, Neil would be unimpressed with any 'prayers' thrown around at this time. Instead I believe he would want a better world for his family and everyone else on this Earth via education, science, and transparency. I think he would want us to accept scientific facts and adapt/live accordingly. So if RUSH fans want to honour his memory (and I certainly do) we should not only be as compassionate and kind as possible, but also be as SMART as possible - by accepting the science behind the Climate Emergency, by understanding the motivation of right wing owned media such as the Fox/Murdoch/Koch empires, and responding to the threat that 5G technology is levelling at us via our phones and the IOT. This next link details the lethal danger to you of mobile/cell phone 5G: www.theguardian.com/…/mobile-phones-cancer-inconven… So how about we start working on that smart stuff, and be aware, and be WARRIORS in the fight against the rollout of 5G technology - or else we can look forward to a Cancer PLAGUE enveloping all of us in our already toxic world. Here's what you can do: ehtrust.org/resources-to-share/printable-resources/ As Neil wrote in ''Roll The Bones' - "Why are we here? Because we're here." So (unlike Neil) you could go on believing in an old man who lives in the sky, who watches everything you do, and supposedly looks after you - especially when you ask him to grant your wishes (prayers). Additionally (again unlike Neil) you could go on wondering what the meaning of life is. Or - like Neil - (and here's the positive, joyful, fulfilling part) live a life with MEANING. Neil loved his family, his fans, and humanity. He saw and wrote about the pain and negativity all around us, but he also understood the wonders of science and realized that this could be a better world if we all tried to 'make it so.' Let's not disappoint him. A Planetary Treasure has been lost - and a tear shed. Vale Neil.
Climate Emergency...the Earth has been around for 4.5 billion years and has gone through countless warming and cooling trends...80,000 through roughly 30,000 years ago North America was under a 2 mile thick sheet of ice, long before there were combustion engines and fossil fuels. I agree with you about cell phones to an extent, but there is radiation everywhere from many different sources, from laptop computers and televisions to radon and cosmic rays. And whether you believe in God and an afterlife or not shouldn't be a determining factor in how you live. Be decent to other people ( because it's the right thing to do ) and treat others as you would like to be treated. If only governments and politicians would be the same way, but as George Harrison once said "Musicians are always trying to do what politicians SHOULD be doing."

Here's what you can do:

As Neil wrote in ''Roll The Bones' - "Why are we here? Because we're here."
So (unlike Neil) you could go on believing in an old man who lives in the sky, who watches everything you do, and supposedly looks after you - especially when you ask him to grant your wishes (prayers).
Additionally (again unlike Neil) you could go on wondering what the meaning of life is.
Or - like Neil - (and here's the positive, joyful, fulfilling part) live a life with MEANING.
Neil loved his family, his fans, and humanity. He saw and wrote about the pain and negativity all around us, but he also understood the wonders of science and realized that this could be a better world if we all tried to 'make it so.'
Let's not disappoint him.
A Planetary Treasure has been lost - and a tear shed. Vale Neil.
Climate Emergency...the Earth has been around for 4.5 billion years and has gone through countless warming and cooling trends...80,000 through roughly 30,000 years ago North America was under a 2 mile thick sheet of ice, long before there were combustion engines and fossil fuels. I agree with you about cell phones to an extent, but there is radiation everywhere from many different sources, from laptop computers and televisions to radon and cosmic rays. And whether you believe in God and an afterlife or not shouldn't be a determining factor in how you live. Be decent to other people ( because it's the right thing to do ) and treat others as you would like to be treated. If only governments and politicians would be the same way, but as George Harrison once said "Musicians are always trying to do what politicians SHOULD be doing."
From working on a farm in the middle of nowhere to playing in front of 11,000 people. No pressure!
Pretty sure he handled it decently.
