A few years ago, readers of Prog Magazine voted on the greatest musician of all time. Chris Squire of Yes came in at 11th, Rick Wakeman of Yes is 4th. I expected Jimi Hendrix to come out on top, but he came in 2nd. Voted the greatest musician in the history of all music is Neil Peart of Rush. I thought about that for 5 days and couldn't think of anyone else as the greatest musician of all time. Not even Hendrix.

[@charleswagner2984]

A wild one with a great drum solo is Malignant Narcissism live from the Snakes And Arrows Live DVD. It's on KZbin.

[@vincentvancraig]

As has been said a million times in amazing vids Neal peart is in, “he’s ur favorite drummer’s favorite drummer”, which would be the case with Danny Kerry of tool in regards to Neal peart….the day Neal died the saying that went around was “ok…every single drummer in the world just moved up one place in the rankings”, lol…I loved that, it made it easier to bear the horrible news.

[@vincentvancraig]

Also, you have the original greatness & then the greatness that comes after & builds on that greatness which the rush drumming to tool drumming would be an example of, but without standing on the shoulders of giants what would have happened? Would the next, or second generation of greatness even happened?, point is the credit has to be given to the seniority, u have to give OG mf’er his due, lol….anyway, great reaction.

For only having 3 members in this band, they rock. And to witness them in concert is a total experience. The drum set and percussion area take up half stage. It's one of the best bands I've ever seen in concert.

[@stephaniefain1863]

Damn. I’m odd man out, but agree to disagree. I used to sing, so, vocals always mattered to me, and the live concerts always seemed to drown out the vocals. But, I absolutely love drummers. I believe Neil is the fastest, most precise drummer that ever lived. And there are a million of them, and debate can be made. I can’t play. I know how to make noise on a set, nobody would call it music. This guy pulls it strait up into an art form. I don’t know if it’s true, but it was said he had straps so he could belt himself to a revolving chair, to play the entire set.

Their lyrics are deep and meaningful, one more thing. The singer Getty Lee also bass player and keyboards (& Synthesizer). All their stuff is top shelf. And yes only 3 people make all this. spectacular music. Tool's drummer considered Neil his favorite!

The drummer is Neil 'The Professor' Peart. Neil has to be the G.O.A.T. of drummers. The Who's drummer, Keith Moon and Zepplin's Jon Bonham were GOAT's in their own perspective but there is something different, special about Pearts dedication and techniques. I mean, don't blink when he starts with a drum roll left to right and finishes with smashing symbols .. you'll miss it. That's how fast his hands are moving .. Crikey! The drums are an extension of Neil as was the guitar to Stevie Ray Vaughan. There will never be another two like them in our lifetime. The music world lost Neil to brain cancer I believe it was just a couple years ago. He is sorely missed by millions of fans from around the world. RIP Professor 🥁& Stevie Ray 🎸

Welcome to Rush! Three master musicians from Toronto, Canada who had a 40 plus year career. Geddy Lee Vocals, bass and Keyboards Alex Lifeson acoustic and electric guitar, mandola and later keyboards Neil Peart drums, percussion and main lyrist. Unfortunately Neil Peart passed from brain cancer in January of 2020. He is considered one of the best drummers in rock.

Now your seeing all the guys Danny grew up listening to and made him who he is, still a lot of jazz drummers to get to though

[@RB-oc7ti]

That was a very interesting comment you made - did three great musicians find each other, or did three good musicians push each other to be great? Probably the latter if we’re being honest? Alex and Geddy were childhood school mates. They formed a band and actually had a different drummer at first. Music was much more basic. Neil joined later as drummer. They were all three music nerds. They all three continually worked at their craft throughout their long careers. They all three loved to experiment with song structures and timing changes. They all three pushed each other and got better and better - disregarding record company demands to make a ‘hit’ song - but rather, just create the best music they wanted to try and make! Integrity intact! They became the best (or at least in conversation with any of the greats) at their individual instruments, because of this process, their natural abilities, and because they were just three guys in the band and had to work hard to create a full intricate sound scape!

Did you ever see the movie Pulp Fiction? There’s a scene where Vincent, John Travolta’s character, opens a very special briefcase to check its contents, and his face is bathed in a golden light. He is momentarily speechless. Transfixed. Jules, Samuel Jackson’s character, asks him, “we good?” Vincent, still dumbfounded, snaps to, and affirms that yes, we are indeed, good. Opening that briefcase is like discovering Rush’s music. To be bathed in the light of that trio’s tapestry of talent, is breathtaking at its core. I look forward to you diving in to the maelstrom of melody and genius that is Rush. To hear this band for the first time again? I ENVY YOUR EARS. 👂 🎶🎼🎵🎸🥁🎹

Inside the briefcase was a copy of Moving Pictures. 😉

Quite simply three geniuses at the peak of their creativity and masters of their art

This is Rush's best song. Good call Polo. Great song to highlight the amazing percussion, bass, lead guitar and vocals, along with the keyboards. Canadian bands are the best: Rush, The Guess Who, Neil Young, The Tragically Hip and so on.

YYZ is awesome too.

Neil Peart had often been described as “ your favorite drummer’s favorite drummer “. Danny Carey, Mike Portnoy, Chad Smith of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Taylor Hawkins and Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters, Stewart Copeland of The Police among many others have revered Neil Peart and most attended RUSH’s final concert in L.A. in 2015.

I've been listening to Rush for over 40 years. These 3 guys were the perfect storm. All with the same ambition to perform at the highest level of perfection and without ego or selfishness. Tom Sawyer has always been and always will be a song to be reckoned with from Rush but their catalog is so deep the most scoff at the idea of exploring the depths of their musicianship. Probably one of the most under appreciated bands of all time.

Quick fact: Neil attended Berkeley College of Music and was actually had dual citizenship.

You’ve got him confused with someone else I’m afraid. Neil Peart did not attend Berkeley.

[@trevortamboline279]

Welcome to the greatest band ever created! Their catalog is vast and varied. I'm sure you'll also love "Subdivisions", "The Camera Eye", "YYZ: Live in Rio", La Via Strangiato", "Limelight" and "Ghost of a Chance". Enjoy!

Polo, Neil Peart never wanted to be in the spotlight, most times he wouldn’t sign autographs at all. Not because he was mean, he was shy. The best drummer ever was💔🇨🇦. Listen to “Limelight” that Neil wrote about the topic, listen to the lyrics🥰🇨🇦
