      Good? Modesty shows through so much, especially when one is "great" and not just "good" - terms of the level of musicianship, performance, presence, and...percussion. Damn! The big world of rock-n-roll will never be the same without the likes of The Professor...and the band Rush will probably never "be" again. Too bad - three of the very best at what they did, individually and as a group. RIP, Neil Peart - if today's "Modern Drummer" could just know "80 percent solution" of what you accomplished as the "tempo-maker" (and then-some), they'd be an instant success!

      2/1? What note is represented by the "1", here? A whole note, maybe? If there are 2 beats per measure, why would the whole note be chosen to represent one beat if a "whole" note is typically good for a "whole" measure. I don't believe I've ever seen a 2/1 time signature. There are better ways to denote whatever "2/1" is trying to accomplish.

      The first time I heard "La Villa Strangiato" I heard hints of the signature sounds of over a dozen guitarists that are better known to the mainstream world than Alex, most of whom made it big after "Hemispheres" was released. It's easy to forget just how long Rush's recording career is. These guys were contemporaries of everyone from Led Zeppelin to The Foo Fighters. Rock fans follow the big names. The big names follow Alex.

      @honorbound12 Drumming, or all music really is subjective and very personal. Rush clearly is part of the soundtrack for many lives. The nostalgia alone elevates people's views. Having written that, and given that the man just passed away (and meant so much to so many, and inspired so many present drummers), it's not cool to degrade him here.

      Telling of the Lying Times and Orwellian strangeness of today, there's Witch Hunt:
      The night is black without a moon, the air is thick and still
      The vigilantes gather on the lonely torchlit hill
      Features distorted in the flickering light, faces are twisted and grotesque
      Silent and stern in the sweltering night, the mob moves like demons possessed
      Quiet in conscience, calm in their right, confident their ways are best
      Oh-oh-oh No
      The righteous rise with burning eyes of hatred and ill will
      Madmen fed on fear and lies, to beat and burn and kill
      They say there are strangers who threaten us, our immigrants and infidels
      They say there is strangeness too dangerous in our theaters and bookstore shelves
      Those who know what's best for us must rise and save us from ourselves
      Quick to judge, quick to anger, slow to understand
      Ignorance and prejudice and fear walk hand in hand

      I just watched part of Geddy's book and an interview about what this song is really about. I can understand that when you've made it in the world, there are fleas and ticks just dieing to try and latch on to what you've worked so hard for, for your own reasons.
      It might sound selfish to some, but I could completely understand withdrawing from everything and everyone, not knowing who you could actually trust as your friends and who were just vermin.
      And it is good to know who has your back, usually the people that saw your raw talent and helped you just so could accomplish your dream. Not actually taking from you, just sharing in the moments.
      Those are the friends until the end. I believe Neil was lucky to have that friendship.

I was only 18 or 19 years old, knew it all, and nobody could tell me shit. I came to a busy intersection one sunny afternoon and couldn’t understand why nobody was going on the green light…..? “Awe, man! They all must be jamming to my killer jams,” I thought as I slowly pulled into the intersection…. Right then, a HUGE fire engine 🚒 passed maybe 6 inches in front of my front bumper.

    One of the two most talented bands of All Time. Led Zep had Bohnam, John Paul and Jimmy Page.... Amazing!!
    Neil is the greatest drummer Ever!! Geddy sang, played bass and keys, plus assisted with the song writing. All at an elite level I might add.
    And, and.... Alex Lifeson is an unbelievable guitarist. Just try to play some of his licks, OMG!!

      That's funny haha, yes still 3 people.
      As far as that goes. I have heard from some musicians that less is more.
      Especially when it comes to what sounds are coming through. One reason is because you can hear the instruments more clearly.
      And it's allows the listener to keep track. I think that's somewhat accurate.
      I myself like the idea of only dealing with two other people.
      One may not be enough and four might be too many.
      I have heard and seen that in some countries at least one. They had gotten three women presidents together and they found it was the perfect balance of perspectives. God bless and keep rocking with rush in the free world!

    This is all of Rush's weirdness on display in a conventional package. Maybe one of the best vocals, Neil is killing it, and Alex is completely over the top. I don't love Rush, but I love this. Nobody else comes close to this kind of strange, alluring thing.

      Some people hate rush because of geddys voice. His voice definitely changed alot over the years and in my opinion for the worse. On another note i would say that their playing just got better and better all until the end unlike geddys voice.
