Tragic Details About Rush

[@GrungeHQ]

RIP, Neil Peart.

[@bingokitty5822]

I was born in 1961, RUSH has been a part of my formative life. facing the trials of being a teenager in the 1970's of a working class family, when my father passed away when I was 15, I fell into a depression that only certain bands were able to take me away for the length of the song. RUSH was one of those bands.

[@hippyable]

Yes! He had cancer poor guy

[@Garythefireman66]

Peart is pronounced P-Ear-t or Peert RIP Professor

[@anael169]

Hey assholes. If you're going to make money off of talking about the horrible tragedy that befell him, at least get his name right. I stopped watching after the 2nd flub. Obviously you don't really care. That's a rookie mistake.

@@SavoxYT I remember they reviewed some of their best work, like moving pictures ,or Permanent waves, calling it boring unmuscial drivel ,and said of PW as something that couldn't be understood, but this line here represents everything that RS thought about them... Taken from a review of Grace under pressure The problem, though, is musical. On record, the lack of melody and any but the most rudimentary harmonic development soon becomes oppressive. In addition, Alex Lifeson is not a particularly a interesting lead guitarist, and the strictures of the trio format still result in more splattery drum bashing than you'll ever care to hear. Rush delivers the goods, all right: strong social statements enveloped in a massive, pounding sound. But it's old news, and old music, too.

[@O_Towne_Bear]

@@SavoxYT Hold that red star high, brother.

[@michaelprosperity3420]

Rush, you either get them our you don't. I remember the drubbings they would get from headliners when they first started. Kansas got the same treatment. I always loved Rush. I remember listening to 2112 in high school in a friends car on his Jensen Tri axle speakers loving the sound bounce from speaker to speaker when the song would kick in on all speakers. Great memories

[@danb7211]

I feel privileged to have lived in the heart of the Rush era. Been a fan since 1980, and saw them in concert over 30 times. Rush’s music has been the theme song to my life. RIP Neil, and all the best to Alex and Geddy. Thank you for all that you’ve done.

[@philipmichel215]

Geddy Lee's voice is what first attracted me to the band. As the years, albums, concerts and videos accumulated Rush is one of the greatest trio of artists and performers!

[@Cobalt985]

I was a Dream Theater fan for a couple years, and I had heard people praising Peart’s drums. I didn’t get it at first, but I kept listening, because such is the way to appreciate prog. Just WOW. Peart is now my favourite drummer of all time and one of my greatest influences. Not to mention Geddy’s seriously impressive vocals and Lifeson’s beautifully crafted guitar parts. They always perfectly harmonize to create masterpieces, and lock in with each other for a crisp sound that just doesn’t happen anymore.

[@hihi2667]

I completely agree, something about his tone and style is mesmerizing. I adore Robert plant for many of the same reasons.

[@jcbulldog533]

I feel the same,Geddy's Voice first drew my interest in this Band way back to "Fly by Night" Album from then on I was 100% totally hooked. Incredible musicians & Concerts that never disappointed.. I was fortunate enough to see them 5/6 time's...So glad I was part of their Female Fan Base!!!

[@eddiep2899]

Akin to the voice of John Burke Shelley, the lead vocalist (and also a bassist) for Budgie.

[@charlesharper7292]

A phenomenal band with an enormous story. They are missed. I am thankful we have the memories and the music.

[@akb48lvr]

I first saw Rush May 1980 at the tender age of 12 .. To this day, their performance of Jacob's Ladder that night resonates in me as it was more like a religious experience then simply hearing a song .. I think that if you know Rush, you know this feeling ..

[@josephwulf1623]

@Ace Bee---Amen Brother!

[@drammengrunalf4160]

Niell was a friend of mine even though he did not know me, at least I consider him a friend. I found Rush when I was stationed over seas. They became a major part of my life. Neil was a key element of RUSH, and he found the arterial for his excellent writing ability in Rush where both Alex and Geddy allowed Neill to excel at what he could do best - besides drumming. He connected with people.

[@maitai1133]

Neil.

[@claverhouse1]

I think I understand what you mean but if you knew anything about him at all you would know he would be horrified by someone he never met claiming him as a friend

So crazy that this world is without Mr. Neil Peart and the great band Rush! RIP Neil the best rock drummer ever!

[@zachvarbel]

One of the greatest and most wholesome rock bands of all time

[@davidarnold1225]

I remember Gene SImmons from Kiss talking about looking for them in the hotel after a gig (Rush opened), and eventually found them in their rooms, watching TV and/or reading. Not exactly the rock & roll lifestyle, but it worked for them for 40 years!! :-)

[@TH3F4LC0Nx]

Definitely one of the most innovative bands of their era, with one of the greatest drummers of all time. Sprawling, incredibly technical songs with serious, philosophical lyrics; real ambition. They're unquestionably legends, and deservedly so. (Plus, Geddy Lee is the only dude I've ever seen who can somehow play bass, keyboard, and sing, all at the same time. Now THAT'S skill!)

[@innercores1266]

I really loved their evolution, each album being better, stronger, more polished, more inveloping. They were incredible. Got to see the Roll the Bones show. It was awesome.

[@innercores1266]

@James Martin Yes, I always felt that they were the caliber of The PInk Floyd on a smaller scale, just as intense.

[@josephwulf1623]

The tragic details of this video is that it ONLY focused on the few down moments of a pioneering band with a career spanning 45 years! It seems the details presented are true, but certainly an inadequate report on this phenomenal influence to the music industry---and humanity as a whole. RUSH certainly faced the ups and downs of a band in their infancy, and certainly other challenges as they grew and matured. The key is they developed a fanbase not on the 'ME ME ME' focus SO many other bands/musicians do... but instead for their virtuoso musicianship, powerful melodies and heartfelt lyrics. Truly a team effort between the three of them for 45 years. Kudos to Geddy, Alex and Neil for their long run producing outstanding music, and doing so with class, integrity and respect. KUDOS to them, and others, for respecting Neil's privacy during his final years. I always loved getting a new RUSH album, listening to it to get the newest tracks embedded in my brain. Then was always the love of the upcoming concert and figuring out how many times could I see them. +1 #measureofaman +1 LONG LIVE RUSH!!!🇨🇦 Thanks for the music guys. R.I.P. Professor.

[@MasterBillGaming]

Neil was my inspiration as a young drummer and continues to inspire me as a musician in every sense. A truly great thinker, writer, lyricist, and musician. My hero.

[@jobloshi6161]

Yea like . . . everyone knows about beyond the Lighted Stage . . . Like every Rush fan. So like . . . yeah.

[@crucialtaunt5717]

Another big reason Neil retired was to spend more time with his very young daughter. He certainly didn't get much time with her until he got sick and to me that is a true tragedy, right up there with his older daughter passing away. He spent a good deal of her life away from her while touring.

[@johnhardy9161]

The first time I heard about Rush, I was 13. My older cousin and his buddy took me to see the band at the old Exhibition Stadium in August 1978. With some funny smell in the air and some roudy fans. Oh yeah and 3 extremely talented musicians on stage, I got hooked on Rush from that point on. Quite the experience for a young teen. Thanks for the music guys. R.I.P. Professor. RUSH RULES!

[@garyachilles634]

Three very humble but extremely talented musicians .. who combined as a trio created one of the greatest rock bands ever..

God bless Neil Peart. I started drumming when I was hitting pots and pans at the age of 3. Once I heard them play I never gave up drumming now I'm almost 50 something! Rush will always be my favorite band of all times... Long live Rush

[@markgregory1331]

I loved and will always love Rush. I appreciate the fact that they refused to continue unless their abilities were at their top. I am eager for the new live album on the 29th of May. RIP Neil-you brought a lot of people a lot of joy.

Neil with ALWAYS be my favourite drum player ! He knew no boundaries and put himself out there on the stage and gave his all 🤘so glad I saw him live before he got sick because that’s the way I will remember him on stage slamming it ❤️

[@j.r.576]

Rush was the first rock band I ever really listened to, fell for them instantly and never looked back. They, their music, has been part of my life for over 40 years. Only family and certain friends have that distinction normally. They have been very dear to my heart. I have always respected the fact that I have never heard them swear in their music or on stage, I've seen them plenty. That's class in a world with none. RIP Neil, thank you Rush for what you brought to my life! God bless.

[@carlbrightful570]

In my opinion Neil Peart is the greatest rock n roll drummer of all time. His technique and his ability to right the band’s lyrics is incomparable. I will “ALWAYS” be a Rush fan. It is something about their music that simply fascinates me. Extremely talented band. May Neil Rest In Peace.

[@johndavis9196]

One of the great minds of a generation, Neil Peart taught me more than any other person in my life.. and we never met. He did not seek Xanadu, but will live forever in the hearts and minds of millions. I am eternally grateful for all that he has given #measureofaman ✌️☝️☝️✌️

[@cvn6555]

The great irony of his life is that he connected on such a deep level with so many people yet could not feel that connection himself. I love that he understood this about himself and wrote about it. Neil is the only famous person I have ever wanted to meet and have a conversation with. Knowing how he felt I would have never approached him in public while he was going about his business. I had and still have too much respect to have ever invaded his privacy. He is sorely missed.

[@josephwulf1623]

@@cvn6555 AMEN!!!! I have always felt exactly as you describe---SO very well said. Yes, thank you for this truth!

[@davidarnold1225]

I can't imagine the depths Neil must have fallen to. Reading 'Ghost Rider' was a tough read. I usually plow through his books, but this one was very difficult; I had to put it down & come back to it, it was so emotionally exhausting. Having a wife & daughter, I can't imagine losing both within a year. It would break me (more than I am already broken). I broke down and cried in the grocery store when I got the news of Neil's passing. He was like a (albeit distant) family member, having listened to their music and reading his lyrics for 40 years. RIP Neil. I found Rush in high school in the 70's and was almost instantly grabbed by the music (2112). I followed them ever since, have every album, still have ticket stubs from every tour since 1979 (my first show ever at 17), seeing them 25 times. In later years I would road trip with a good friend (hi Skip!) to see them in different cities; Richmond, Albany, Saratoga Springs, Toronto, Philadelphia, right up to the end. They are a large portion of the soundtrack to my life. Thanks for the memories!

[@geddyleessoup5086]

Poor Neil, such an amazing and gentle man! He didn’t deserve to have such tragedies in his life 🥺And Geddy’s childhood and adolescent years were very hard too. Another pretty sad thing is the fact Alex’s father also passed away on Alex’s 50th birthday too :(

Well, I guess you were born too late in life to see them in time, but I can identify with that myself, having not ever seeing some other great bands like Led Zeppelin or Emerson, Lake & Palmer cos I was too young to go to concerts when they were relevant and at the peak of their game, but I can safely say I started seeing RUSH at the young age of 15 and for the last time when I was 43, so I am grateful for that at least....

I have nothing but respect for these guys. They didn't keep playing because of greed, but retired rush because they'd rather support their friend who was one of the best drummers ever. They're a great example of how every single band should act, have respect for the fans and each other. They never let fame or greed get in the way of what's important. Even though geddy and alex still are doing their own projects with alex now doing bass work in "envy of none" and geddy still practicing, they never forgot what music should really be about.

They've had their ups and downs, but what I respect the most, and is probably a testament to their longevity, is that they are friends, first and foremost, and bandmates second. Both Geddy and Alex gave no issue to Neil's semi-retirement after Selena and Jackie passed. Their concern was not the state of the band, but of their friend, who had his world torn apart! RIP Neil.

Even though there wont be any new Rush music released ( unless hidden in the bands archives ) their music legend will live on , way past any rap or hip-hop artists . Geddy is clearly a baseball fan and was often seen at Toronto Blue Jay's games , ( usually a few seats away from home plate ) True Canadiana !!!

[@josephwulf1623]

Alex and Geddy have stated in numerous interviews that there will never be any material released after the end of RUSH. If it isn't in their albums---it won't ever.

@@josephwulf1623 .... that's kind of a bummer , but I respect their rational . I'm certain both , Alex & Geddy have hours of material for a potential solo ablum or two . Although I get the sense , they might not want to go that route .

Both my Grandfather (December 7, 2019) and Neil (January 7, 2020) passed from Glioblastoma, exactly one month apart from each other. May they both Rest In Peace.

Hail to one of the most important and powerful Canadian and worldwide bands of all time..... RUSH!!!!!!!!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@johnmedeiros3763]

greatest drummer for one of the greatest bands of all time Geddy Lee is the only dude I've ever seen who can somehow play bass, keyboard, and sing, all at the same time . Rush’s members included , the best bassist, most underrated guitarist and best drummer

No doubt one of the most iconic bands with a massively loyal and large fan base. I remember as a kid, we lived outside of Chicago for a few years. I was astonished one day calling a local radio station requesting RUSH tune. I wanna say limelight, and the dj asked me if I had their album? I said yes then he tells me good I like them too but if I wanna hear RUSH "I've gotta spin that vinyl at home on my own time kid, they don't get much traction on the commercial market." Then he said the coolest thing, "I'll tell ya what, you're right the best rock station in Chicago (WIMZ if anyone is interested) oughta play the best rock!" this guy was all fired up as he's tellin me this ya know? Asks me my name, intros the next three songs at the request a dedicated listener "who knows good rocken roll when he hears it! Thank you so much and says my name! " I think I was in 7th or 8th grade at the time... Well, ALL of my friends tuned that station religiously too I bout flipped out cause no sooner did the dj fade in Rush limelight my phone started ringing and for a brief moment I was famous because Rush is such a kick ass band! The next day at school my crush whome I'd never been able to talk to, sat next to me at lunch! God, I hadn't thought about that in years... Lol! That WAS social media back then... And that was a pretty cool experience back then.... and Rush was, is and always will be a very cool kick ass band! Thank you guys. That experience marked the end of my "awkwardness" all youngsters have to traverse. RIP Niel....

Where to begin? The greatest thing that Rush have going for them beside their family and friends and crew are there FANS!!!! Whoever took the time to produce this is an extension of every other unfortunate soul who never took the time to listen to the music. Neil Peart was a poet and a musical genius, The other part of their rhythm section is a massively talented bass player who had a part of the band's heart beat torn from him never to be heard again. Their virtuoso guitar player is a force put on this planet for you to figure out. Please spend the rest of your days trying to figure out what these three brilliant musicians are so selflessly brought to the world and then try to encapsulate it in six minutes. Impossible! Living on a lighted stage..........

Rush has been the most underrated band even in music history. Bands with half their talent and success have been allowed into the hall of fame while rush has been shunned away. Bands with history of violent behavior and drug abuse have been tested much better than rush who have throughout their career been kind, humble, and always given their 110% to their fans. I became a fan the first time I heard them back in 1983 and have never stopped enjoying their music. Their live concerts are one of the best that I have seen. RIP Neil.

I was lucky enough to get to see Rush on thier last tour in Birmingham UK. There was an interval half way through. The second half was even better than the first half of the show.

we lost Peart to cancer. Today we lost Eddie van halen to Cancer. My sister in law is 45 and has the same brain cancer Neil had. She was diagnosed a little over a year ago. It's not looking good. I hope we have another month with her. Cancer sucks!

Rush story wasn’t tragic, it was full of bravery, holding on and going their own way.
