I was fine until I saw it getting to him, then my eyes got watery. Fantastic musical artist and wonderful human being!!! Will be getting his book for sure! Can't wait for Alex Lifeson book, titled: "Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah"😆.
I'd buy Alex's book. Neil initially thought that Alex was going to leave a negative impact with the 'blah, blah, blah' RHOF speech,.......but changed his mind after friends of his were blowing up his inbox saying that they loved Alex's speech.
And look at how Paul handled this. Such respect for Geddy, letting him talk, listening carefully, letting him say what he wanted, and jumping in with warm support when appropriate.
Wow… I was saddened by his passing too. And they should be proud of the music they did, for it is awe inspiring, like a landscape, mountains, or flying to the stratosphere. That is what I envision when I listen to Rush. What a band they were.. created some of the best music in the world. Rush is forever.
My favorite bass player, not just for his badassery, the music he has done, his virtuosity and tone....but also as a human being...love this guy, he´s such a great person!!
From a Gary to Geddy your one of the most talented musician of all time! No one touches your talent on bass, keyboards, and singing! You are the definition of Unique and RUSH is not RUSH without your playing and vocals! To quote the movie: I LOVE YOU MAN! Alex and Neil as well!! This is my essay to people who may not know RUSH or who Neil was professionally and his contributions to the art of drumming and lyrical writing! Enjoy! 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
I wish that I could go see Geddy on his book tour. This weekend, when I get time off of work I will be heading to the bookstore and picking up a copy of "My Effin Life". Glad you could attend.
RUSH is a great band in every sense of the word. The good Lord knew what he was doing when he brought these three talented, intelligent & humble guys together.
You know , I need Geddy and Alex in my life. Just to know they are there, playing , writing music that maybe we will hear one day soon, hopefully, hopefully 🤞🤞, a chance to get a great ticket to see them play again. 🤞👍
2112 was fueled by Ayn Rand and politics against the Red star federation and Rush had the best lyrics ever. Wonder who thry get to drum on this R50 year tour being talked about. @@robadams1645
You are right on , unfortunately Canadians in the west time voting is done eastern Canada votes in who they want. Our leadership is lacking. We all know that and it's embarrassing . @@tyrobben9578

Don, I wouldn't put it past him! 😀
No words for what these 3 incredible people have brought to my life for the last 42 years. Thank you.
47 years for me
YES the sound track of my life
Wouldn't change a thing

Powerful stuff. What joy this band brought to our lives. As Neil wrote “You can never break the chain
There is never love without pain”. 💔
😢I heard that.🤘
I cried so many times throughout the evening. It was beautiful
I'm hoping I keep it straight for the first 5 minutes. :) Montreal, Nov 21st!
Impossible not to cry whilst watching this. SO beautiful.

@@lisadistefano1252 Can’t wait! Thank you! 😊
This is what brotherhood, musicianship, and good people bring to this world. I will always be grateful that my senses found RUSH😎
Yeah… That got to me 🥹
Rest in power, Professor.
My favorite bass player, not just for his badassery, the music he has done, his virtuosity and tone....but also as a human being...love this guy, he´s such a great person!!
I feel the way you would...
"I feel the way you would"
Can't wait to see this in Toronto, he will knock the house down!
Thanks for posting for those of us who will not be seeing Geddy live.
SUPER THANKS
Going tomorrow so more coming!
Awesome. I'll be seeing him in Cleveland on Sunday. I'm stoked. Haven't seen an appearance since Rush Fan Day at the Rock Hall.
thanks for sharing this.....something in my eye
One of the best rhythm section in music, my favorite, Ged & Neil

Miss this band so much.. A big part of growing up always included one of their tours
Neil Peart: One of the greatest song lyricist, and drummers who ever lived.
Sting and Mark Knopfler are my other favorite lyricist..

Than you for posting. Seeing him next month in Toronto.
Canadian class all the way, Greatness you are Geddy.
Geddy makes up for the poor leadership of Canada (I can say this part Canadian) Good music, good beer, good people, bad government.
@@tyrobben9578or, you could just say something nice and leave politics out of it.

Doesn't get much more real than that.
Thanks Lisa. ❤
I sat in the front row on the VT tour in '02 at the ACC in Toronto. Thank you, Geddy. God bless.
Thanks for this 🙏🏾
It's still raw... 😢
This is an amazing story!
Ah, that's lovely!
Love this…
Paul Rudd is an avid fan of Rush...Maybe thats why I like him so much.... and he is a hilarious comedic actor!!!
Fuck, why does it have to be this way?😢🤘🖖✌️👍👌🎸🎤🥁🎹
Paul Rudd is truly an avid fan of Rush....maybe thats part of the reason I like him so much...and he is a hilarious comedic actor!
I'm getting the book for Xmas. Is that Paul Rudd alongside him ?
Yes. Seems like Geddy will be having different guest interviewers on each stop of the tour
I just asked my wife the same question. Dude doesn't age
It is and he did such a great job!
God damnit, effin El Niño!
It's so hot right here...
My eyes are sweating...😢
I can’t get thru any of these My F’ing life shows on TH-cam. Maybe you have to be there.

Thanks Lisa… Nice!!
