So hyped to see it's your first time with Rush, and as a drum fan to start with YYZ(ed) I knew you'd love it. Like Krieger said in Archer "Neil Peart stands alone".
LFR......LOVED YOU REACTION MY. ROTHER. IM SO GLAD YOU GOT TO EXPERIENCE THE SHEER POWER OF NEIL PERT AND SURGICALLY RAW TALENT OF THE DRUMS. PEACE MY FRIEND.........KEEP REACTING!
Neil was an athlete going for the gold during every live performance. Guy gave it his all, lyrically and drumistically. One of a kind. And so great to see people giving Neil respect for what he gave us.
Neil was an absolute machine. Period. He is largely considered the best drummer that has walked the face of the earth. His technical ability and precision is simply unmatched.
The Professor, doing what he did best. Entertaining, focusing on precision, and creating magic. There'll never be another Neil. RIP and thank you for all the joy.
Greg Smithfield go like my comment..I sent him the link to the live from Frankfurt!! I’m not sure why he chose this one but I did give him the link. He may have picked this one because it’s shorter?? But again peart was only using the smaller version of the drums and the video quality on this one is not good..not compared to Frankfurt that’s like HD and no guitar or back noise and closeup..just spam him up with correct link
Everyone has done the live from Frankfurt one. One that no one has done that is just as awesome is this one: th-cam.com/video/81vAbPBqPlA/w-d-xo.html Malignant Narcissism/De Slagwerker from Snakes & Arrows tour.
That’s how Rush leaves you every time.....speechless. So many to check out....start with Tom Sawyer.....then The Spirit of Radio.....then Xanadu....Exit Stage Left version......then La Villa Strangiato.....then keep going. Awesome reaction
Guy with ponytail is Geddy Lee. He's the lead vocalist, bassist, and keyboardist for the Band (You should also check out Rush - Tom Sawyer, classic song)
Agreed. Classic song and better drum solo, IMO. While Tom Sawyer isn't the best song RUSH ever recorded, it is an excellent song and happens to have the best drum solo ever recorded by anyone.
🤣😂🤣😂!!! Your reaction is priceless and everything I had hoped it would be. Yeah, he was (and still is afaik) the "Godzilla" of the drums and *every* drummer looked up to him for his talent on the drums. His is and will always be missed R.I.P to the GOAT of the Drums, Neil Peart. Sorry about the comment spam but decided to make multiple comments to respond to give you information/answer your question while also helping the algorithm and try to get you more viewers as you keep branching out and exploring like this, you'll get a ton... And just think, you've only begun to scratch the surface of some of the greatest musicians that have ever existed including David Gilmour/Pink Floyd, Metallica, System of a Down, Neil Peart/Rush, Linkin Park, Tool (soon I hope 😜), and many more. Enjoy the trip my man, it's a hell of a ride 😎🙌✌
Loved your reaction! I've been a Rush fan for 40 years, but every time I see someone experience that joy for the first time, it's like re-living it myself. :)
David Desjardins I just made a new comment for the Frankfurt link so go spam it up...it’s so much better in the Frankfurt video quality and WHOLE DRUM SET
It wasn't that this was one of his shorter solos...they edited the rest of the solo out due to time constraints on VHS tapes. The version of this solo on the CD is longer, but still edited for time. As a drummer (going on the 40 year mark now...God, I'm getting old!) I like this solo so much more than the Frankfurt solo. This solo really showcases his snare work and interplay with the hi-hat. It also has his trademark cowbell solo, that he got away from in the later years. Just personal preference, of course - but this is my favorite Neil Peart solo, followed by the solo on Exit...Stage Left.
@@tonyr2360 I also prefer this one. Saw this tour in 2 different locations, the EXACT same solo both times. I think this was was better written that the frankfurt one, and I think he thought so as well
I have seen a lot of rock concerts and a lot of bands ! But I regret never seeing the master of the drums! The King !! All others couldn’t even come close !!
Been a Rush fan since the 70's....so good to see a new generation of young people discovering and appreciating this legendary band. Thanks for posting!
This is so surreal, in the 80's in Junior High I got so much abuse for loving these guys so much... more than 3 decades later they are finally getting their due Respect!
Neal Peart had always been my favorite drummer since the 2112 tour in the mid 1970's. I've seen Rush 18-20 more times since then and not 1 time did they ever faulter. A masterful drum solo at each performance. Like God put so many talents into one man!!!
I have seen many drum solo's by Neil on video but it doesn't measure up to being there live and hearing it! It sounds exactly like that live! Incredible perfectionist.
Your reaction is exactly how i have felt for many many years. Sometimes Neil would perform so amazing that i felt for sure we had never seen anything like it in music. Fan for over 40 years.
I've still got the original European tour, 1977 2112 Glasgow appolo t-shirt, a bit worse for wear, ripped and sleeveless, but would never get rid of it
Best band ever!! If you ever saw RUSH live you'd have lost your mind even more! 15 unforgettable times for me. This was in his prime years. RIP NEiL PEART, The Professor!!
The Rush rabbit hole is deep. But it's an amazing journey. Check out "Tom Sawyer", "The Spirit of Radio", "Far Cry", "Xanadu", "The Camera Eye", "Fly By Night".....pretty much any Rush
Thank you for reacting to this one! I used to watch this religiously for years from A Show of Hands concert. There are 4 others I would check out from this concert... Mission, Marathon, Red Sector A, and Closer to the Heart
So Ive been watching and listening to Rush for 35 years and it was so great to see them again through a newcomers eyes. What a rush. Yeah, he really is that great, isnt he?
I had the pleasure of seeing these amazing musicians 82 times and saw the last 2 shows in LA. I still can’t believe he has passed away. I literally cried. Such a humble man.
Franklin Germany. You are one of my favorite reactors. Who is yet to Neil Peart. His last drum solo he incorporates every percussion instrument and he brings back jazz of the 20s he is the greatest. Goat of all Time od all drum solos.
The great Neil Peart, may he R.I.P. Many considered one of the best, of all time, drummers. This band was tight. Another great rabbit hole to explore. Take care. ☺
As some fans call them......The Holy Trinity! All of them are apex musicians. If you want to see some incredible musicianship you should check out Xanadu live from Exit Stage Left. Peart is a beast as well as Alex, but to see Geddy sing, play bass, Taurus pedals, and keyboard if frickin mind blowing. Just found your site and I dig it, because your reaction to the music is just as enjoyable as the songs. To me that's important. Take care ✌
Neil was inspirational in concert. I am sorry you did not witness the talent of Rush before it was over. Several things you did not know about him...he was the band's lyricist and an accomplished author. Thank you for showing us the magic we all felt OUR first time.
Neil Peart is The GODFATHER OF PERCUSSION!!..But..all of them are great..and when you see them together...they all compliment each other's talents!!..Each one is strong in their own craft..TOGETHER..AMAZING!!!
2112..was where I fell in love with them..2112 Overture/Temples of SYRIX...and Train to Bangkok!!..Actually the entire album is awesome..and the background story on it is really good!!..i think..not sure..but I was told written by Peart!!!Freewill is great too!!
I’m thoroughly enjoying your reactions to Neil and Rush. Because, yes, it’s a helluva think to take three guys who are all masters of their instruments, put them in one band, get the drummer to write the most amazing lyrics to be found in progressive rock, let them collaborate on the music writing, and then watch them play the hell out of every sing in their repertoire for forty years. These guys were beasts. Giants among men.And what they created will live on forever. Just FYI, mullet man (aka Geddy Lee) plays the bass guitar which typically has four strings. Bass and drums typically drive the rhythm of a band. Lee always dazzles because he often takes on elements of the melody line in his playing. You even hear him producing chords on his bass.
Coming back to this after seeing your more recent reaction to the Rio live version of YYZ... I love seeing this, because this tour was literally my very first concert experience. As you might guess, I tried to see Rush on every tour since then. ^_^ Just an interesting thing to note here... at the time of this tour, most people knew about the live YYZ version from Exit Stage Left and there Neil attacks his drum solo right where that biggest drum break happens in the song (in the middle). So when fans heard YYZ start up here, everyone was amped for that same drum solo... but at that middle break, Neil just did the fill like the album version. You might notice that while the crowd is still hot, there is a bit of a letdown you can feel at that moment... and I felt it at the show I saw on this tour too. Everyone was like, “No drum solo? Awwwww man...” And then the Professor drops that masterpiece on us when we’re not expecting it, at the end... fire, pure and simple.
Neil refined this solo over the year adding new and longer parts. The Frankfurt solo is the final version. He was also the guy that wrote the lyrics for the band.
Its so funny watching people reacting to watching Neil Peart drum solos for the first time. I am a huge Rush fan and is still to this day blown away to Neils drum solos. R30 Frankfurt drum solo is his best by far, and it still amazes me how the f+0´k he is pulling that off. R.I.P Neil and thank you for all the amazing lyrics and drum solos over the years!!
Of the 2 I prefer RUSH in RIO, Neil and the boys were really psyched at the audience response and they gave back as good as they got. Hell of a lot of energy. Not that R30 isn't FFing AWESOME!.
I've followed him since I was 8. Got a paper route to buy my own drums after hearing 2112. But when exit stage left came out with hte precursor tto this solo wow and i mean wow. Me and most of my drummer friemds vowed to hear ot all learn it all and play it all. Neil Peart rip
Your reaction to this song was fantastic! This is what i expect many a reaction was for someone who was dragged against their will to a Rush concert. Hooked in 60 seconds!
His backing musicians ain't too shabby either 😁 Rush is one of the most respected bands in modern progressive rock history, 40 years together, 40 million plus albums, all 3 of them are also considered to be the best on their respective Instruments... They are one of a kind. Oh, that's a bass guitar the guy with the ponytail is playing...😉
I have seen Rush 23 X live every concert Neil Peart always do the drum solo he is the master of the drum kit any electronic percussion and also remember he is the main lyricist to me Rush is the best band in the world he will truly be missed but never forgotten RIP NEIL PEART from one of your biggest fans that lives on this Earth.
Just caught this!!! OMG, saw RUSH live twice in the 80's... one was at the Texxas Jam, otherwise called the Texxas World Music Festival? Yes, two x's even though Texas only has one.
Hey man, I grew up in Maryland, D.C area in the 80's and it's funny how you mentioned the GoGo bands. I remember a most, if not the most important band in that era by the name of Rare Essence. The kids in school used to bang on the school desks imitating the drums. You look pretty young but you've probably heard of them, I'm sure!
It was once said about Neil Peart that he is your favorite drummer's favorite drummer. If Neil Peart was #1a for me then Danny Carey from Tool is #1b. I highly recommend checking out some of his drum cam videos.
What a lot of people don't realize is that YYZ is the transmitter code for Toronto's Lester B. Pearson International Airport in Toronto (Rush's home town) and this song was written as a tribute to their home town. Every airport is assigned a unique 3 letter code, and that code is always being transmitted so that pilots can tell, roughly, where they are and verify that their navigational radios are tuned properly. Morse code -. -- -. -- --. Peart said that the rhythm stuck with Him, every time they landed in Toronto. RIP Neil Peart. Long live "the Professor".
You need to watch the Neil Peart drum solo live in Frankfurt! Also you need to watch more Rush videos, they make a three piece band sound like 6 guys! The deeper you go the more you will love them and the more your mind will be blown! Neil is “the Professor”
The long guitar you pointed out is called a Bass guitar. Just about every rock band (and most bands in general) will have a Bassist, Guitarist, and a Drummer. This is called the Rhythm section. A Bassist or Bass Guitarist( both terms work) lays down the base note in the chord of the phrase in a much lower register. Bass is usually most prominent in bass-heavy genres like Funk, Metal, Blues, and Disco. The drummer, of course, sets the tempo for the song and adds in appropriate fills (short and minor solos in between phrases) to keep the feel of the song fresh. There are usually two types of Electric Guitarists; Lead and Rhythm, though some bands have guitarists that do both, like The Who, Queen, RATM, Tool, and plenty of other bands. Rhythm guitarists hold down the main riffs and chords, allowing the Lead guitarist to add in licks (similar to fills) and solos when necessary.
First of all I will subscribe,,, ty for even considering rush , Neil has been my idol since I was 10 and I am 51 , ty ty ty for appreciating rush listen to more of his drum solos , ty
Man, that's a bass guitar, not a really long guitar. Awesome to see you fall in love with music from my childhood. Proves it is still relevant 35 years later.
If you are looking for a variety of instruments in one song check out RUSH Xanadu. You won't be disappointed R.I.P. Neil . You will be forever remembered
Check out "Der Trommler" solo in Frankfurt, Germany. Another good one he named "The Rythm Method". He played a shorter solo on "Late Night With David Letterman" around age 60. If you like jazz 🎺 watch him in the Buddy Rich Tribute. Buddy Rich was an idol and Rich's daughter asked Peart to head up his tribute concert. Also search for him playing "Cotton Tail", another jazz classic. Neil wrote all Rush's lyrics. He was extremely intelligent. He turned his drumsticks around so the heavy end struck the drums in order to play with more force His drum tech talked about how hard he hit the drums and cymbals. He had to replace cracked cymbals a lot. Neil was 6'4" tall and had a long reach to get to many drums which you noticed encircled him. When watching his solos notice how many times all 4 limbs were playing different cadences. In the early 1990's he started taking lessons from a drum teacher named Freddy Grueber (sp?). He was already considered by many the greatest drummer of all time, but he wanted to play even better. For several albums he played with a traditional grip. Sorry for all the unconnected facts. Just trying to relay as much information about him. He was my favorite musician. Enjoyed your reaction! Respectfully, Loren-lifelong Rush fan.

That "man with a ponytail" is Geddy Lee, that's no guitar but a bass he's playing.
A bass that's on *FIRE!*
Admired for his talent, respected for his intellect, loved for his humanity.
Neil Peart. RIP Professor.
Beautifully put, miss him greatly.
And he wrote nearly all of the lyrics.
Neil Peart was not just a drummer. He was a proficient percussionist, lyricist and intellectual (with a sense of humor). LOVE RUSH!
You just witnessed he Professor on the Drum Kit. The G.O.A.T.
#Facts 🤷🏾♀️
I was at these shows, around the Hold Your Fire, Presto days. Since Geddy was playing his Wal....I say it was earlier, like after Grace Under Pressure
Neil, Bonzo, & Danny. That's my list.
Neil was an athlete going for the gold during every live performance.
Guy gave it his all, lyrically and drumistically.
One of a kind. And so great to see people giving Neil respect for what he gave us.
Neil was an absolute machine. Period. He is largely considered the best drummer that has walked the face of the earth. His technical ability and precision is simply unmatched.
The Professor, doing what he did best. Entertaining, focusing on precision, and creating magic. There'll never be another Neil. RIP and thank you for all the joy.
Thanks for the tribute. It means so much to so many. Glad you were introduced to RUSH & The Professor.
Neil Peart recently passed away and everybody has been watching and reacting to the drum solo video in Frankfurt Germany it is simply amazing
Greg Smithfield go like my comment..I sent him the link to the live from Frankfurt!! I’m not sure why he chose this one but I did give him the link. He may have picked this one because it’s shorter?? But again peart was only using the smaller version of the drums and the video quality on this one is not good..not compared to Frankfurt that’s like HD and no guitar or back noise and closeup..just spam him up with correct link
Everyone has done the live from Frankfurt one. One that no one has done that is just as awesome is this one:

Yes! I just said that LOL!
Greg Smith he has done the Frankfurt yest
Ramona P he’s done it u have to look
That’s how Rush leaves you every time.....speechless. So many to check out....start with Tom Sawyer.....then The Spirit of Radio.....then Xanadu....Exit Stage Left version......then La Villa Strangiato.....then keep going. Awesome reaction
LIMELIGHT
Doctor Fu nice order you put together!!
I've never seen any kid do "Spirit of the Radio" on expert on Guitar Hero.
Straight awesomeness
the red barchetta
Guy with ponytail is Geddy Lee. He's the lead vocalist, bassist, and keyboardist for the Band (You should also check out Rush - Tom Sawyer, classic song)
Agreed. Classic song and better drum solo, IMO. While Tom Sawyer isn't the best song RUSH ever recorded, it is an excellent song and happens to have the best drum solo ever recorded by anyone.

That was one of his shorter solos and smaller drum sets, check out the R30 frankfurt drum solo
David Desjardins I gave him the link for the Frankfurt but I guess he chose this one cause it was shorter
David Desjardins I just made a new comment for the Frankfurt link so go spam it up...it’s so much better in the Frankfurt video quality and WHOLE DRUM SET
Yes, watch the Frankford solo. Happened years later, longer solo very impressive
It wasn't that this was one of his shorter solos...they edited the rest of the solo out due to time constraints on VHS tapes. The version of this solo on the CD is longer, but still edited for time.

There's 3 drummers you need to hear, Neil peart from Rush, bill ward from black sabbath, and john bonham from led zepplin. Drum gods!!
I keep telling him the same thing
He knows..he’s just got a long list guys..give him some time he will get there 🥰🥰🤘🏻🤘🏻😘
Danny Carey? Mike Portney? Mike Mangini? Don't do them dirty and not mention them!
I think he'd bust a nut to Children of the Grave by Black Sabbath.
Obligatory Buddy Rich mention....
He was not only the (best) drummer (ever), he was the mind and texter, so God bless him
I have seen a lot of rock concerts and a lot of bands ! But I regret never seeing the master of the drums! The King !! All others couldn’t even come close !!
I applaud the genius of Neil Peart. It's a joy to watch.
Been a Rush fan since the 70's....so good to see a new generation of young people discovering and appreciating this legendary band. Thanks for posting!
This is so surreal, in the 80's in Junior High I got so much abuse for loving these guys so much... more than 3 decades later they are finally getting their due Respect!
A fun fact, the intro beat is morse code for Y-Y-Z which is the airport runway code for Toronto Canada, which is where they're from.
Neal Peart had always been my favorite drummer since the 2112 tour in the mid 1970's. I've seen Rush 18-20 more times since then and not 1 time did they ever faulter. A masterful drum solo at each performance. Like God put so many talents into one man!!!

Best band ever!! If you ever saw RUSH live you'd have lost your mind even more! 15 unforgettable times for me. This was in his prime years. RIP NEiL PEART, The Professor!!
He is the best no question... listen to more RUSH... They are the Best...
The Rush rabbit hole is deep. But it's an amazing journey. Check out "Tom Sawyer", "The Spirit of Radio", "Far Cry", "Xanadu", "The Camera Eye", "Fly By Night".....pretty much any Rush
Definitely one of the best to ever play the drums ! He played with speed, precision, and feel.
Thank you for reacting to this one! I used to watch this religiously for years from A Show of Hands concert. There are 4 others I would check out from this concert... Mission, Marathon, Red Sector A, and Closer to the Heart
I've always loved this version of these songs from "A Show of Hands", great choice!
I loved his ESL and ASOH drum solos, I mean, I love them all, but those were the solos that got me into drumming.
So Ive been watching and listening to Rush for 35 years and it was so great to see them again through a newcomers eyes. What a rush. Yeah, he really is that great, isnt he?
Neil was/is the GOAT!! End of story...100%..... Written in stone.... Don't even need to check again greatest!!!!!
One of Neil's smaller kits! 😁
Mary Bradley this is the truth, really!!
That's the truth
Still pretty big lol

Franklin Germany. You are one of my favorite reactors. Who is yet to Neil Peart. His last drum solo he incorporates every percussion instrument and he brings back jazz of the 20s he is the greatest. Goat of all Time od all drum solos.
The great Neil Peart, may he R.I.P. Many considered one of the best, of all time, drummers. This band was tight.
Another great rabbit hole to explore. Take care. ☺
Dude they are all three Masters of the craft. Neil was called the Professor for a reason.

Best I have ever heard and watched in Rock n Roll drumming History !!!
I’m thoroughly enjoying your reactions to Neil and Rush.

Not only one of best drummer, but one of the greatest percussionist.
I love watching kats watch this for the first time. Mind Blown!!! I'm lucky to have grown up listening to this... it's a whole part of my soul!!
Coming back to this after seeing your more recent reaction to the Rio live version of YYZ... I love seeing this, because this tour was literally my very first concert experience. As you might guess, I tried to see Rush on every tour since then. ^_^

Welcome to the elite in musicianship!
Peace!
Your description is exacting. Well Done!
Neil is the professor, and his bandmates make up the best trio in the history or music.
Awesome reaction video...LOVE to see people discovering Rush for the first time. Your journey is just beginning!!
I had to go back and watch your first rection to these 3. Well done sir. Authentic reaction to one of the best ever.
Dude, Neil is a legend.
Rush is world-class music. Thanks for the upload. Do more Rush.
Neil is very COOL drumer!
360 drums!
Love your reaction to what us Rush fans have known for years!
Neil did not earn the nickname "The Professor" for nothing.
RIP Neil
A true legend!

To think that he just kept getting better! He was fairly young in this video. All the top drummers today hold him in high regard. May he RIP! 🕊
I like this the best of his solos, nice and tight and the Neil-ness just shines through.
Your reaction to this song was fantastic!
This is what i expect many a reaction was for someone who was dragged against their will to a Rush concert. Hooked in 60 seconds!
His backing musicians ain't too shabby either 😁 Rush is one of the most respected bands in modern progressive rock history, 40 years together, 40 million plus albums, all 3 of them are also considered to be the best on their respective Instruments... They are one of a kind. Oh, that's a bass guitar the guy with the ponytail is playing...😉
I always looked at Rush like three guys each playing an awesome song pefectly together.
I have seen Rush 23 X live every concert Neil Peart always do the drum solo he is the master of the drum kit any electronic percussion and also remember he is the main lyricist to me Rush is the best band in the world he will truly be missed but never forgotten RIP NEIL PEART from one of your biggest fans that lives on this Earth.
Excuse me for some of the couple words in the wrong places.
What styles do you play?
Neil: "YES"
How many pieces in that kit?
Neil: "All of them"
What an awesome reaction video! I love how genuine it was. BTW, Fam, Neil didn't just raise the bar... he was the bar... R*I*P* Neil (Rush-4-Ever)
It's one of the reasons Neil was known as The Professor. PLUS, he was the chief lyricist for the band...R.I.P., Neil
And you couldn't even see his feet. He's unreal. Great react sir.
Just caught this!!! OMG, saw RUSH live twice in the 80's... one was at the Texxas Jam, otherwise called the Texxas World Music Festival? Yes, two x's even though Texas only has one.
Neil Peart was a monster on the drums.
Neil is THE reason I play the drums. Spirit of Radio...RIP Neil.
I love your description the Godzilla of drummers .you're absolutely right . I've been a fan for 40 years scene RUSH five times🎶🎶🤘
Hey man, I grew up in Maryland, D.C area in the 80's and it's funny how you mentioned the GoGo bands. I remember a most, if not the most important band in that era by the name of Rare Essence. The kids in school used to bang on the school desks imitating the drums. You look pretty young but you've probably heard of them, I'm sure!
YOU WITNESSED PERFECTION..THE GOAT..RIP NEIL!!!
Watch live version on Xanadu from exit stage left video and you’ll see his old full acoustic set including church bells.
It was once said about Neil Peart that he is your favorite drummer's favorite drummer. If Neil Peart was #1a for me then Danny Carey from Tool is #1b. I highly recommend checking out some of his drum cam videos.
Michael Tabor Danny is pretty amazing.
#1 for me was Bonham
I absolutely love seeing someone discover Rush!
I'm surprised you stopped it as little as you did.. RUSH is simply off the hook, much respect to you and your FAM you got going on here
What a lot of people don't realize is that YYZ is the transmitter code for Toronto's Lester B. Pearson International Airport in Toronto (Rush's home town) and this song was written as a tribute to their home town. Every airport is assigned a unique 3 letter code, and that code is always being transmitted so that pilots can tell, roughly, where they are and verify that their navigational radios are tuned properly.
Morse code -. -- -. -- --.
Peart said that the rhythm stuck with Him, every time they landed in Toronto.
RIP Neil Peart. Long live "the Professor".
Rush at the height of their powers...amazing.
No words spoke. Man this song speaks
Neil Peart is absolutely insane drummer...the best! Hope you have had a chance to check out other Rush songs.
FYI-This is actually only half of the drum solo. They cut the solo down for time restrictions on VHS video tapes.
You need to watch the Neil Peart drum solo live in Frankfurt! Also you need to watch more Rush videos, they make a three piece band sound like 6 guys! The deeper you go the more you will love them and the more your mind will be blown! Neil is “the Professor”
The long guitar you pointed out is called a Bass guitar. Just about every rock band (and most bands in general) will have a Bassist, Guitarist, and a Drummer. This is called the Rhythm section.
A Bassist or Bass Guitarist( both terms work) lays down the base note in the chord of the phrase in a much lower register. Bass is usually most prominent in bass-heavy genres like Funk, Metal, Blues, and Disco.
The drummer, of course, sets the tempo for the song and adds in appropriate fills (short and minor solos in between phrases) to keep the feel of the song fresh.
There are usually two types of Electric Guitarists; Lead and Rhythm, though some bands have guitarists that do both, like The Who, Queen, RATM, Tool, and plenty of other bands.
Rhythm guitarists hold down the main riffs and chords, allowing the Lead guitarist to add in licks (similar to fills) and solos when necessary.
I loved your reaction! "I don't know what the fuck to say!" Truer words never spoken!
It's Rush.Greatness. RIP KING.
First of all I will subscribe,,, ty for even considering rush , Neil has been my idol since I was 10 and I am 51 , ty ty ty for appreciating rush listen to more of his drum solos , ty
Man, that's a bass guitar, not a really long guitar. Awesome to see you fall in love with music from my childhood. Proves it is still relevant 35 years later.
i love watching your reaction to this song, that is so familiar to me and alien to you
Amazing every time.
Pronounced Peert, and he is an alien. He didn't die. He just went to another world to show them how to drum.
Well done. Loved every second.
If you are looking for a variety of instruments in one song check out RUSH Xanadu. You won't be disappointed
R.I.P. Neil . You will be forever remembered
The Exit Stage Left version.
Check out "Der Trommler" solo in Frankfurt, Germany. Another good one he named "The Rythm Method". He played a shorter solo on "Late Night With David Letterman" around age 60.
If you like jazz 🎺 watch him in the Buddy Rich Tribute. Buddy Rich was an idol and Rich's daughter asked Peart to head up his tribute concert. Also search for him playing "Cotton Tail", another jazz classic.
Neil wrote all Rush's lyrics. He was extremely intelligent.
He turned his drumsticks around so the heavy end struck the drums in order to play with more force His drum tech talked about how hard he hit the drums and cymbals. He had to replace cracked cymbals a lot. Neil was 6'4" tall and had a long reach to get to many drums which you noticed encircled him.
When watching his solos notice how many times all 4 limbs were playing different cadences.
In the early 1990's he started taking lessons from a drum teacher named Freddy Grueber (sp?). He was already considered by many the greatest drummer of all time, but he wanted to play even better. For several albums he played with a traditional grip.
Sorry for all the unconnected facts. Just trying to relay as much information about him.
He was my favorite musician.
Enjoyed your reaction!
Respectfully,
Loren-lifelong Rush fan.
The Professor is the G.O.A.T.- HANDS DOWN!!
He inspired Generations. RIP the Professor, the GOAT.
