In my humble opinion.... He sang on Schenker's best album and was his finest singer. God knows Michael has made some clunkers. Peace and Love. Peace and Love.
Great interview to watch. And kudos to Chris Impellitteri on his words about Neil. Everything he said was spot on. It was beautiful to see another known musician, especially a guitarist recognize & compliment on his musicality. Neil didn't just play beats & fills, he created & performed full song compositions.
I am trying. From the 10th, when the world learned the news of Neil's passing, I have played Rush constantly. Sirius XM 's Tribute got a workout on our car radio, much to the chagrin of my wife and daughters. They realize how much Neil meant as rock's greatest drummer, but Geddy's vocals turn them off. Sad.
Those 2 drummers definitely raised the bar for all others to follow. I would even include Buddy Rich, Ian Paice, Bill Bruford, Mike Portnoy and Bill Ward in the same conversation.
When I was 16 I played with a guitarist that was the best id ever seen. He was 25, knew chicken pickin, classical, metal, you name it. He would put solos on 3x regular speed and play them. He could speed picking so fast it almost sounded like a continuous hum. He kinda started helping me play bass, oh ya he knew so much theory and the dude wasn't even a HS grad. He did finally go to MIT. Before he left I was in a band with him and his cousin as vocalist. His cousin was freaking amazing as well. Like 8 yrs later he found himself singing for impellitteri. His name was Curtis Skelton. The dude from the beginning was the best. He did a cover of Love is on the Way by Saigon Kick that was better than the original,the drummer that played in that band was a prodigy. I was the weak link and I appreciate them letting me play. This is just a shout out to those guys who have extream talent Curtis Skelton, Rick Harlson and Charlie Carlisle who live here in Houston Texas blowing it up in the cover band scene, and teaching people to be incredible musicians. They have the talent to have all played with impellitteri.
GREAT interview! Graham Bonnett, of course, a rock vocal legend! Grew up listening to his work with Rainbow and Alcatrazz. Stump and Impelliteri are well known in metal circles... great to hear them as well. Lastly, RIP Neil Peart. Rush, my all time favorite band. I'm 58, and have seen them live 65 times since the '2112' tour at the Capitol Theater in Passaic, NJ. Neil was a groundbreaking percussionist and lyricist, and all around nice guy. Cancer is a thief... we must somehow find a cure.
Thank You #GrahamBonnet for Your Talent back in the #70s My favorite is Rainbow "Since You been Gone" from 1979 And Street of Dreams 🎶 along with Your Solo Song It's all over Now,Baby Blue 1977 in Germany.
You need to listen to MSG assault attack I listen to it today so my To me his best very underrated album The blue suited soldiers with a Coke Sniffen hounds come out of your nightmare and run you to the ground
Samurai,so you live to die? Your eyes look to the skies...Samuri,are you too blind to see,the love waiting for you ,samurai.....cue that awesome outro🎶

that hall of so-called fame is an insult to everything musical. every act in there should hang its head in shame for even associating with it, that includes my beloved Rush.
Especially with inductees like Whitney Houston? Rush appreciated being inducted, but it did not seem to be a major accomplishment to them. The audience reaction at the mention of them by Jan Wenner was amazing.
@@mikefalb1620 they got in only because fans voted then in. The hall didn't want them. Rolling Stone didn't want them. It's a disgusting entity, and it's too bad that it's given increasing credence by supposedly reputable people.
@@martymartin2894 With two negative comments ('old' and 'disorientated') in one line with no positive, how can it be anything other that disrespect? Go cack to Beiber.
Zalia Hindensen .... ok. Over 60 then lol.. If my comments offend you so much, ignore them. Simple. What a simple empty life you must have to be offended by a few comments. 😂
I don't normally give a shit when famous people kick the bucket. But the passing of Neil hit me hard. RIP Professor!
I think Chris Impelliteri nailed it describing Neil Peart...when he described Neil as playing the drums musically, well that is bang on.
It is about time Graham got his recognition, He's been around for about 5 decades singing many different genres of music.
And he is Great!!!
Couldn't agree more, he's a bloody legend🎤
In my humble opinion.... He sang on Schenker's best album and was his finest singer. God knows Michael has made some clunkers. Peace and Love. Peace and Love.
Critics and the pop culture industry hated Rush but real fans, artist, and musicians hold them in such high regard.
that's why critics are idiots
Those who cant, criticize... And what is a critic? Just another dick with an opinion.
The world will miss "the professor on the drum kit" , R.I.P.

I’d say that he was the first percussionist to put the rhythm into the the melody.
It is imperative that all people teach children of the glory that is Rush!

@@charleshutton284 Geddy's vocals are iconic. The entire unit fit and worked.
Nice to hear them speak so eloquently about Mr Peart, thank you.
The lose of Neil Peart is a big one. Ever heavy metal drummer has been influenced by Peart and Bonham. Every one of them.
RIP Neil Peart ✌️🇨🇦❤️🎸

RIP Neil Peart

SINCE YOU'VE BEEN GONE? I'M OUT OF MY HEAD,CAN'T TAKE IT! BUT? I'VE GOT YOUR MUSIC 👍RIP NEIL✌❤🤘
Cant wait for this new material to come out will hope Alcatraz tours Ireland again especially with Joe Stump he rocks
Graham Bonnet, such a unique character!
3:22 The Nature of The Beast. Fantastic album by April Wine!
Alcatrazz is one of the most underrated bands ever
Wrong. They suck.
@@FYMASMD That's why we're always trying to escape...
God... I just love Chirs Impellitteri. I love you man and love your music. Can't wait your new record!!!!
thank you for observing Neil.
Graham played along side with blackmore in rainbow and malmsteen in alctraz
Thank You #GrahamBonnet for Your Talent back in the #70s My favorite is Rainbow "Since You been Gone" from 1979 And Street of Dreams 🎶 along with Your Solo Song It's all over Now,Baby Blue 1977 in Germany.
Graham Bonnet forever!
Graham is a legend
Graham is awesome. One of the strongest singer ever !!
Cool.... All The masters!!! Yeahhhhh
Can't wait to see Joe and Graham on the same stage!!!
Awesome interview!!
Good for you Graham. You Deercreek it. A great and long career!
Yeah great interview, loved it.
Damn I don't want Chris and Graham to grow old cause they are good musicians.
Dye Chris' hair blond, you'll get Billy Sheehan.
Great guys.
I didn't know that Neal had lost his 1st wife and daughter. Sadly he's passed. God bless the memory of Neal along with his 1st wife and daughter.
Holy crap, is Alcatraz still a thing?
You need to listen to MSG assault attack I listen to it today so my To me his best very underrated album The blue suited soldiers with a Coke Sniffen hounds come out of your nightmare and run you to the ground

I take it this was very early 2020? Cos no one was touring from spring of that year onwards.
John Shuttleworth with Impelliteri !!
Stump although weird with his Malmstein infatuation is a beast on guitar!
Haha love when he said “I’m not a rap guy”
Graham a vocal God
Joe Stump?
Graham Bonnet. Great vocal. Malmsteen era. 🎶
Rush sales went up 2000% just after his passing. Probably 3 grand by now. Googling now.
RUSH id dead. But the music and memory of Neil Peart will continue to live on
How ya doo’en?
Are you sure that’s not Art Carney second from the right?
What else did graham sing on prior to RAINBOW down to earth???
Mainly with The Marbles (1970) and a solo album (1977).
Peart was the best,bar none
New Alcatrazz. Cool.
Bonnet's attire is, as ever, becoming. The other two look like they are in parody costume.
The dude with the shades looks like a Nikki Sixx clone.
david vincent in the middle
To not have Pat and Priest in shows that the RRHOF is a poser organization.
Yngwie should be there
Yngwie changed his persona to escape Sweden. Being very aggressive in reserved Sweden is needed, however finesse is lacking when outside Sweden.

Guys get the shoe polish out of your hair, it looks pathetic LOL...Grow up
They're wigs
@@danielratner6810 LOL
🤢🤮🥵😵💫
Graham looks very old and a bit disorientated here.
He _IS_ old, and he's just about to have surgery on his spine. Hope you look this good in his situation.
F off you tart, be fkn respectful.
It happens to all of us... Saw Graham with Schenker on 4-20-19!! All the vocalists killed it that night...
@@beatrixjames5433 what do you mean I didn't mean any disrespect to Graham and I only spoke the truth from what I seen in that clip.
@@martymartin2894 With two negative comments ('old' and 'disorientated') in one line with no positive, how can it be anything other that disrespect? Go cack to Beiber.
The ultra-low budget meant they couldn't afford a room for the interview
It is ok to just be old! Please stop dressing this way. At some point we just have to accept it.
Don't be THAT guy.
Two guys on the left look ridiculous
Your inane comment is ridiculous! Who the hell made you the arbiter of looks & fashion?
AudiophileTubes are you serious? They’re both in their late 50s early 60s and looking like that? Are you one of those guys?? 😂
Zalia Hindensen So does Bonnet. But he doesn’t look like an idiot. Get it yet??
Zalia Hindensen .. “theirs” is ridiculous for their age. Get it yet??
You must be an over 55 year old that presents themselves the same, am I right?
Zalia Hindensen .... ok. Over 60 then lol.. If my comments offend you so much, ignore them. Simple. What a simple empty life you must have to be offended by a few comments. 😂
