Everytime I get behind my kit, I thank him.
Such a thoughtful, intelligent and articulate person. Rest peacefully, Neil ❤️

Beautiful soul so full of life and enthusiasm for life. Sadly missed. RIP Neil. X
Really was just thinking how terrible and sad .... another brick pulled out of the wall ....
already a year ago ... time flies by, if there is an afterlife, I surely visit him one time to tell him how important he was in my life on this side
Neil is pure class
Neil was MUCH MORE than just a *GREAT* drummer/lyricist, he was a great human being and an inspiration! RIP and thank you for all you gave us!
Much love Patrick. 💛😊 #Believe - Dondon
Yes. I said earlier he was a force of nature.
When I hear people debate whether or not Neil is the greatest drummer ever, I can’t help but feel that they are taking such an amazing person and reducing him down to just a drummer. He was just a complete treasure. So smart, so humble, and such a good human being. He’s so much more than a drummer.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. #Believe - Feb
I always like hearing what he has to say. Very intelligent guy. :D
Thanks for the comment and for watching Kelly. :) #BelieveNation #BTA257 Shine
Indeed, they don't call him the Professor for nothing.
Robert Thomson just have to read alot and understand what ya read like he does
Kelly Paris intelligent.......really. LOL. He's an imbecile
+zdrumdude Neil Peart is an amazing lyricist for Rush, on top of shredding drums!! An imbecile, as you call him, wouldn't be able to do what he does!! He's phenomenal!!
The 3 of them 'built' each other because they stuck together and 'Nurtured' each others talents to Perfection.They never once gave up on each other. It took ALL 3 of them to rise to fame. They are Musicians who aimed high and it paid off. Greatness!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and for watching Victor. :) #BTA348 Shine
@EnnuiVision they are like half albums. Except for Grace Under Pressure.
Beautifully said. And they didn't have to be dicks about it either. They saw what the others were doing, as Neil said, and decided that wasn't going to be them. Respect was the one thing they nurtured in each other, and respect is what they got from the fans and their peers.
And they went thru rough periods. It is well documented that the band almost broke up during the "Grace Under Pressure" sessions because it was their first record without producer Terry Brown, a number of "A" list producers like Steve Lillywhite bailed on them during preproduction, and they ended up being stuck with Peter Henderson who was really only an engineer. Rush spent something like 4 straight months, 7 days per week, 16 hours per day working on that great album, but it nearly did them in. They also nearly broke up after the "Hold Your Fire" tour because they just toured too much and it was negatively effecting their health and families. And then we all know of Neil's tragedies. The period before "2112" was also brutal. I know some folks dig "Caress of Steel," but it was a commercial disaster. In the first month after its release "2112" outsold Rush's three previous records combined.
Exactly
My hero. 40 years of influence on my soul and brain through your craft. You have no idea the true impact you had on so many people during your time on earth. Thank you Neil Peart. Time stand still.
RIP AND GOD BLESS YOU.
He was amazing, RIP. #Believe #BTA1471 Veljko
I can relate so much.
Couldn’t have said it better myself. RIP you will be missed.
I think he did know. And that was enough for him.
4/5/22 and I still feel the sting of his passing.
What a warm and positive human being he was.
Yeah.. #Believe :) #BTA1584 Veljko
What a guy
What a mind
What a terrible terrible loss to RUSH fans, to our friends in Canada, but mostly, what a loss to mankind. An intelligent, articulate, well read, well spoken, overwhelmingly decent and truly humble human being. He was, is, and will remain such an inspiration. His loss is a dagger in the heart.
#Believe :) #BTA1487 Veljko
A lot of folks don’t know he wrote the lyrics
Nicely said
And life was cruel to him and his family 😪
Such a joy to hear him speak. So enthused, so eloquent, so thoughtful. All that, and such an amazing drummer. A great loss.
Thanks for watching #Believe :) #BTA1649 Veljko
A Gentleman and a Scholar.
Creativity seems to be rare today.
Neil's genius brain had no rest. The works with Al and Geddy are the soundtrack of my life...
Thank You Rush, for all the shapes and colors

RIP to the greatest drummer of all time
RIP #BTA1471 Veljko
Greatest rock drummer ever...fact.
:) #BTA950 Luka
Without a doubt, Nobody is better than Neil Peart on drums, Neil is one bad ass drummer... Yup !!
2nd best, Bonham was better 😀
PMSL troll! lol!!
My big brother gave me RUSH. I never looked back. Farewell to Kings, 2112, Hemispheres, - and then I found my own songs - well a friend gave me a few like : "The Weapon" - but Xanadu and all the others... it made me who I am. I still love RUSH at 49
I hadn’t really heard of him as an individual (although I do like the music of Rush) so the news of his death hasn’t really impacted me, but having watched this video I am coming more to the realisation that we have lost someone, and something rather special.. RIP Neil Peart.
Read his bks. Watch more interviews. & crank up sum concert vids. Neil was a vry special individual ...
RIP #Believe :) #BTA1472 Veljko
Pretty much like you regards NP and Rush until 2015. Then a friend suggested Ghost Rider when my beloved passed away in May of that year. It helped, really helped me get through and onward. I just finished reading his three "Far and..." books, and came to the same realization you did.
I never knew him and i never met him, but Neil Peart changed my life forever, and influenced me more than any other musician ever did, before or since. On the night of the news of his passing, after drinking several pints of good English ale in his honour, i returned home, to sit at my drum kit, hit a couple of weak and feeble rounds, and then shed the tears of disbelief. God bless you Neil. Rest in peace.
RIP #Believe :) #BTA1479 Veljko
I'm not a drummer, not even a musician but I could listen to Neil Peart talk about life for hours.
💕 #Believe - Feb (from Evan's team)
Each Rush song is a sonic thread in a beautiful musical tapestry which takes a lifetime of devoted listening, to enable you to see. The tapestry is rich, complex, beautiful, impossible but yet for some of us, there it is, and we are forever gifted by the majesty, magnificence and sonic brilliance of Rush.
RIP Neil / I miss you, Darren
May he rest in peace. #Believe :) #BTA1591 Veljko
He always been THE PROFESSOR!!! Love him and his art!!! Miss you, Neil...

EXACTLY
I'm a freelance photographer & writer, but I've been a Rush fan since their inception. This interview with Neil Peart, and his top ten tips, has brought some new inspiration to me today. Not that that should surprise me, as Rush, and Peart's writing, have always brought me inspiration. The world lost a treasure when we lost Neil. I will always be grateful to him and his compadres for their contributions to my own life.
He was something else... #Believe :) #BTA1603 Veljko
"Is this the most excellent thing I can do?" "Am I doing this like it's the most important thing in my life?" Neil actually LIVES these ideals. Inspirational beyond words...
Glad to know you found him inspiring D. Iceman. :) #BelieveNation #BTA325 Shine

Feel in shock that Neil has gone. He was a massive influence throughout my life and his lyrics have helped me survive some dark times. I knew there was something wrong with him the last few years, but they kept his fight against brain cancer out of the media. His book 'Ghost Rider' is a moving testament to the struggles Neil went through and how he overcame grief. He was a sensitive, highly intelligent, kind and gifted man. The world does not feel the same without him. He will be greatly missed.
He was my inspiration as a young drummer in high school and now as a father and business owner. Thanks Neil for being "restless..."
Great to know he inspires you Bill. Thanks for watching! :) #BelieveNation #BTA387 Shine
My brother was a 16yo drummer in 1972, when he was hit and killed by a drunk driver! I was 8! Iam 58 now! Brother love! Along with the guidance of neil peart only has given me a good career in drumming! Thank u neil peart! Your skill has brought me through hard times, rip
I'm so sorry for your loss, and it's wonderful to hear that Neil Peart's music has been a source of inspiration for you. 🥁🎶 Much love 💛 #Believe - Feb (from Evan's team)
I only knew around 4 Rush songs, so I'm not a lifetime fan of the band, but I heard of Neil's death yesterday and this got me checking out more about him. He is clearly highly intelligent and very inspirational because of this. I think he is potentially bigger than drums. His intelligence shines through in every one of these examples and I think we were lucky to have him here to give us these gifts.
May he rest in peace #Believe :) #BTA1472 Veljko
I’ve never shared this.. Neil has the sweetest most gentle countenance about him. A pure honest soul. 🤗🙏 thank you Neil for being such a huge and most influential man an musician to our drumming family.

Part of Rush` longevity apart from the obvious, talent, is they are all good guys. I myself as a loyal fan for 40 years, part of my loyalty is due to the fact that all three of them are such awesome human beings.

🥺 #Believe - Feb (from Evan's team)
Sigh. A man who reflects some of the values I espouse, and with whom I share a distaste for the spotlight, ironically enough. I've been blessed to enjoy his and his bandmate's songs and music since 1984 when me and a buddy as high school students wanted to find "weird" music that we liked because of some Moody Blues inspiration. We figured any albums with roman numerals next to the song titles might qualify. I had a choice between Uriah Heep and Rush (2112). After listening to that Rand inspired album, which was even then a few years old, I was hopelessly a fanatic. I knew every lyric to every song up to then by the end of that year. I waited for every subsequent album with baited breath all the way through Clockwork Angels. Now, those days may very well be done. Thank you, Neil. Bittersweet. Oh well, there's always the next Tool album (many will see the joke there)
Thank you very much for sharing that peartist2, very interesting and for sure there are many who shares your love for him and the band. :) #BTA194 Shine

Huge rush fan for many years and when people say they don't like rush or ask what is the fascination with them this is one of many reasons we love them. I understand that some only heard their first albums and didn't care for it but as the years went by with albums like presto, counterparts, test for echo etc, the music just kept getting better as for the fascination its more than the awesome music it's the way they carry themselves and how they view their lives, their fortunes, and misgivings and the enthusiasm they have for the good and bad. Just listening to them talk is inspiring and makes you smile. Also if you haven't seen the video dinner with rush you need to check it out. It should have been a series.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts Joel #Believe :) #BTA1651 Veljko

This is the most well read, intelligent and nice man in rock. Just wanna talk to him for days !!! Too bad he's had so much tragedy in his life.
Man , his "fills" aren't empty they are purposeful. Insightful layering and ordering of Neils' top ten rules for success, a truly Universal Ordering . #' 2,4,6 resonate most immediately , Neil Peart's 'infectious life rhythm' is so palpable. Talk about following the beat of your own drummer! A driver of his own life writ large. Copious reader, authored 5 books. David Letterman once said Travel is the best education.

😊💛 #Believe - Feb(from Evan's team)
I have been living these rules for decades, pretty much since I realized 30 years ago what I loved most about the band besides the music was their work ethic and commitment to being their own personal best. I came onboard in '85, and what blew me away was how each album leading up to Power Windows was better than the one before, the growth was palapable to my "ear tounge" (sorry for the visual). I respected that.
All that aside, these days, infect others with enthusiasm is one I practice daily.
Thanks Evan. GREAT job!
Thanks for sharing and for watching. :) Glad to know you are infecting others with enthusiasm. :) All the best to you! #BelieveNation #BTA228 Shine
You are a true fan!!! You GET IT!! RUSH is about moving forward, not rinse and repeat. And fans like you not only see that, but respect it and embrace it, and quite possibly (like you said you already do), incorporate that method of thinking in their daily lives as well. It's the drive that keeps us "Driven".
Hemispheres certainly wasn't better than the three albums before it..... I've been a huge Rush fan since the early 80's , but I do have top say that spotting their lows and flaws isn't a strong trait among the die-hard fans. Hemispheres as a piece is IMO weak, because there was no real worth to that overwrought piece. Subconsciously (at least) Rush themselves must have felt this, as they also quit with the long epics after it.... It has it's moments but overall, not worth the effort, I'd say. You can't say that about 2112 or The Fountain of Lamneth.
Kevin Marshall My opinion differs from yours.
I'm with Rez on this one. I thought Hemispheres was a beautiful piece of work.
the professor indeed
