He’s sorely missed. Without Peart we wouldn’t have had Danny Carey. Together with Phil Collins (yes, that other “very uncool” drummer) Peart was the architect of 70s symphonic rock sound. A fantastic legacy.

[@garylagstrom3864]

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

Expanding my set along with tons of practice mastering a fair amount of Rush songs...then my brother and friends saw me has a really good drummer lol.

[@skparkes1969]

Rush is my all time favourite band - been with me since I was 12 - 40 years now and counting. I have been inspired and moved by Neil’s lyrics, have wondered at Geddy’s mastery of multiple instruments, Alex’s incredible guitar playing and the peerless drumming of the Professor. I cried when I heard the news about Neil - and that is rare for me. But this tribute from two of the nicest guys in rock music - so heartfelt and so passionate - moved me when I first watched it and moves me more following Taylor’s untimely death. Geddy and Alex occasionally talk about how they managed to get through the drug-fuelled early years and focus on their craft. They acknowledge it could have easily gone the other way. It’s desperately sad that Taylor didn’t make it - especially for his family and his friends but also for all of us. His music and his decency will live on and, as with Neil Peart, those of us who saw the Foo Fighters live (and who love their music) should be grateful to have lived in the time of giants.

Beautiful.... such amazing gifts they have each given to music to all of us.

Dave at his heart is a true fan of rock and roll. He is to rock and roll what Quentin Tarantino is to movies.

I have seen Rush a gazillion times, before they became cool. I love this band forever!

[@allensharlow7763]

One of the greatest Bands ever

Two of the greatest bands

I know the guys from Rush are/were the kind to not really care about some lifetime achievement award. That's not why they made that music in the first place. But as someone else wrote, I'm damn glad they were all here to have the honors given to them. They DID deserve it. And they knew it was more about the people. The fans who got them there in the first place. That's why they even showed up at all, to honor the relationship that got them there. RIP Neil, thank you Geddy and Alex.

Best induction ever. What a great, and now bittersweet, moment.

Great tribute by the Foo Fighters to Rush, RIP: Taylor Hawkins...

[@TratUsYT]

Every time I watch this video I think of Taylor and Neil. Neil was a legend and it’s so obvious how much respect Taylor had for Neil. Will miss both of them for sure but Rush without a doubt is still the best band ever.

Can't get better than that!

Dave Grohl is a national treasure the whole continent can enjoy.
