    1. Earn your audience

    After a discouraging stint in England to concentrate on his music, he returned home, where he joined a local Toronto band, Rush.
    4. Learn from others

    On April 18, 2013, Rush was inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame.
    10. Never stop experimenting
    On December 7, 2015, he announced his retirement from music in an interview with Drumhead Magazine.
    Sam Mac:

    When I hear people debate whether or not Neil is the greatest drummer ever, I can’t help but feel that they are taking such an amazing person and reducing him down to just a drummer. He was just a complete treasure. So smart, so humble, and such a good human being. He’s so much more than a drummer.

    • @diannebdee
      @diannebdee 3 роки тому +4

      Beautifully said. And they didn't have to be dicks about it either. They saw what the others were doing, as Neil said, and decided that wasn't going to be them. Respect was the one thing they nurtured in each other, and respect is what they got from the fans and their peers.

    • @MattSmith-iq1ld
      @MattSmith-iq1ld 3 роки тому +1

      And they went thru rough periods. It is well documented that the band almost broke up during the "Grace Under Pressure" sessions because it was their first record without producer Terry Brown, a number of "A" list producers like Steve Lillywhite bailed on them during preproduction, and they ended up being stuck with Peter Henderson who was really only an engineer. Rush spent something like 4 straight months, 7 days per week, 16 hours per day working on that great album, but it nearly did them in. They also nearly broke up after the "Hold Your Fire" tour because they just toured too much and it was negatively effecting their health and families. And then we all know of Neil's tragedies. The period before "2112" was also brutal. I know some folks dig "Caress of Steel," but it was a commercial disaster. In the first month after its release "2112" outsold Rush's three previous records combined.

    I never knew him and i never met him, but Neil Peart changed my life forever, and influenced me more than any other musician ever did, before or since. On the night of the news of his passing, after drinking several pints of good English ale in his honour, i returned home, to sit at my drum kit, hit a couple of weak and feeble rounds, and then shed the tears of disbelief. God bless you Neil. Rest in peace.

    Feel in shock that Neil has gone. He was a massive influence throughout my life and his lyrics have helped me survive some dark times. I knew there was something wrong with him the last few years, but they kept his fight against brain cancer out of the media. His book 'Ghost Rider' is a moving testament to the struggles Neil went through and how he overcame grief. He was a sensitive, highly intelligent, kind and gifted man. The world does not feel the same without him. He will be greatly missed.

Not that that should surprise me, as Rush, and Peart's writing, have always brought me inspiration. The world lost a treasure when we lost Neil. I will always be grateful to him and his compadres for their contributions to my own life.

    I only knew around 4 Rush songs, so I'm not a lifetime fan of the band, but I heard of Neil's death yesterday and this got me checking out more about him. He is clearly highly intelligent and very inspirational because of this. I think he is potentially bigger than drums. His intelligence shines through in every one of these examples and I think we were lucky to have him here to give us these gifts.

    Huge rush fan for many years and when people say they don't like rush or ask what is the fascination with them this is one of many reasons we love them. I understand that some only heard their first albums and didn't care for it but as the years went by with albums like presto, counterparts, test for echo etc, the music just kept getting better as for the fascination its more than the awesome music it's the way they carry themselves and how they view their lives, their fortunes, and misgivings and the enthusiasm they have for the good and bad. Just listening to them talk is inspiring and makes you smile. Also if you haven't seen the video dinner with rush you need to check it out. It should have been a series.

    Sigh. A man who reflects some of the values I espouse, and with whom I share a distaste for the spotlight, ironically enough. I've been blessed to enjoy his and his bandmate's songs and music since 1984 when me and a buddy as high school students wanted to find "weird" music that we liked because of some Moody Blues inspiration. We figured any albums with roman numerals next to the song titles might qualify. I had a choice between Uriah Heep and Rush (2112). After listening to that Rand inspired album, which was even then a few years old, I was hopelessly a fanatic. I knew every lyric to every song up to then by the end of that year. I waited for every subsequent album with baited breath all the way through Clockwork Angels. Now, those days may very well be done. Thank you, Neil. Bittersweet. Oh well, there's always the next Tool album (many will see the joke there)

    Man , his "fills" aren't empty they are purposeful. Insightful layering and ordering of Neils' top ten rules for success, a truly Universal Ordering . #' 2,4,6 resonate most immediately , Neil Peart's 'infectious life rhythm' is so palpable. Talk about following the beat of your own drummer! A driver of his own life writ large. Copious reader, authored 5 books. David Letterman once said Travel is the best education.
