Listening to Neil talk is like going to master class at the most notorious university. The way he talks is like his song writing, he just captures your attention y teaches you so much you get like paralyzed in awe....
DAMN! Wish they would have released concert footage from the 90’s tours. Some of the best set lists and sound in that decade. No 20th or 30th anniversary box sets of Presto, RTB, Counterparts or t4E😂 obviously.🥲🤘🖖✌️🎸🥁🎹🎤
Stunning to think that this was just before his whole world came crashing down on him. I know that it seems crazy to love someone you've never met (and he would absolutely HATE it), I genuinely love and deeply miss him. The world truly was a much better place with him in it but, since he had to go, I'm so grateful for what he left behind. Rest easy, Bubba.
I've always like their music growing up but I earned a new respect for this band from their documentary. The bond that they had was tremendous and how musicians should behave. He is also proof that people who are well read are extremely interesting and intelligent.
He wasn’t just a drummer. He was a master percussionist who also happened to pen the most thought provoking and intelligent lyrics ever in music. Oh and a best selling author to boot. Rest easy, Professor! 😔
6:00 George: “You were on the road with Aerosmith and KISS when they were REALLY partying. Like, madness.” Neil: “Oh! Causalities!” Fantastic description. Rest well, Professor.
I don't know, I think Canada's done pretty well for its self in terms or rock with Rush, Tragically Hip, Unleash the Archers, and Skinny Puppy. And they're making it sound like Rush is somehow the only rock band ever to write songs inspired by "nerdy" stuff like Tolkien and D&D... as if that makes them any less badass. Oh yeah, this is one of those shows that made up or ignored shit in order to try to force a joke and attempt to be funny. It's not like this is a documentary on Canadian music or a historical record or anything. Probably doesn't even deserve to be archived on youtube, lol.
Y’all have known them as long as me, don’t yall think that they are something more than human?!! I still can’t get enough of them! A. J. C., III 21 Dec 23
I read his books ,very interesting events for a rock star under very unfortunate circumstances during the bands hiatus . although I'm surprised the record company let him ride a motorcycle throughout a tour I've heard of people like Steve Vai whom couldn't ride his bikes within the dates of the record deal even when home an off the road. I'm glad he made it through unharmed And enjoyed him live around 9 times up un till the last one 2015. He was and will always be an inspiration.
I was there and vaguely remember seeing the ad. Terrible venue, awful acoustics but absolutely brilliant show. It was my first time seeing Rush live and it wouldn't be the last....
