    A little about me and this channel:
    My name is James Aubrey IV and I just recently graduated college from Iowa State University. After college I decided to take a leap of faith. So I moved to San Diego California to pursue my passion for videography/ UA-cam. Overall I'm a pretty chill person, outside of UA-cam I like to longboard, dance, play video games, lift weights and hangout with my friends. I know that success on UA-cam won't happen overnight but I'm willing to stay patient and put in the work to try to prefect my craft daily. This UA-cam channel will be centered around my life after college. You will be able to see all of the ups and downs on my journey to success. So if you like the content make sure you subscribe so you can be apart of the Rome Life Family. (Let's build our own personal Rome's together.)
    What is the Rome Life ? And What does it mean to be apart of it?
    Rome Life is something I started during my Sophomore year of high school (one of the worst times in my life) it started off as me documenting my journey to recovery from my shoulder surgery but eventually it turned into a platform that I could use to encourage myself as well as others to chase our dreams.
    Rome Life isn't just a saying it's a way of life and for the people who want to be apart of it have to realize that. Rome wasn't built in a day it took a lot of handwork time and most importantly patience. So you can't expect your dreams to be any different

      "overlooked by most? Who is "most"? DO you know "most" Rush fans? Actually the Rush fans from the 70's or early 80's that grew up with them had LPs with lyrics and liner notes and we read every word on them. That was a big part of enjoying an album. Maybe your music comes stripped down from a digital source. Neil wrote most of the lyrics but not all - certainly nothing on their first album.

      @@blacklight4460 In general though, most of the early Rush fans focus 95% on the music and less on the lyrics - as evidenced by them being very vocal about abandoning the guys throughout most of the 80's and dissing the synth era. If they were to listen to the lyrics equally, they would appreciate lines like "sometimes our big splashes, are just ripples in the pool" or "Spirits fly on dangerous missions

As geniuses often appear, he always had that quirky, high-intellect demeanor. Could he really fit in? The bigger question asked was, Did he make an impact? For me, he did and still does.

It’s a low down dirty shame that these 3 exceptionally talented musicians had been overlooked by Rock N Roll Hall of Fame for so many years, despite earning 50+ gold, platinum and double platinum records over the past 47 years. They were only inducted (after releasing their last studio album) in 2013, nearly 40 years after the release of their first album.

Personally, I easily consider Lifeson to be one of the best guitarists I’ve ever listened to. I have several copies of “Victor” (Lifeson’s solo project from 90’s) where he just cuts loose, something not often heard with Rush? I’d encourage all Rush fans to check out both Victor and Lee’s solo album called “My Favorite Headache” from 2000. These solo albums were recorded during those tragic years when Peart suffered the loss of both his wife and daughter within 6 months. That six year break led to the release of “Vapor Trails”, one of my all-time favorite Rush albums. Despite the release of the Vapor Trails Remix, I still prefer the noisy, clipped original release. “Ceiling Unlimited” is simply sublime.

      HE IS INCREDIBLE NICE WITH THE FANS. I'VE SEEN HIM TWICE.
      HERE IS A LITTLE STORY, HE WAS ON TOUR AND ABOUT 2 MONTHS BEFORE I EMAILED HIM ASKING IF I BRING A DRUMHEAD HE COULD SIGN IT FOR MY DAD. DIDN'T ANSWER. CONCERT DAY HE DECIDED TO DO A DRUM CLEANIC. I STARTED TO APPROACHED HIM AND I ASKED HIM IF HE COULD SIGNED AND HE DIDN'T LET ME FINISH AND TOLD ME, "YOU ARE THE GUY WHO WANTS ME TO SIGN AND DRUMHEAD FOR YOU DAD. AFTER THE CONCERT I WILL SIGN IT AND TALKED TO YOU" CONCERT ENDED CAME OUT THE STAGE GRAB A BEER, AND HE ASKED ME,
      "SO THE DRUMHEAD IS FOR YOUR DAD?" I SAID, YES!!! HE IS THE ONE THAT INTRODUCE ME IN YOUR MUSIC" AFTER THAT I ASKED HIM IF I COULD HAVE A PICTURE TAKEN WITH ME AND HE WAS SO COOL. NEXT TIME IF SEE YOU I HOPE YOU CAN SIGN IT AND A DRUMHEAD FOR ME" HE TOLD ME, "ABSOLUTELY"
      ANOTHER TOUR CAME UP AND HE PLAY IN MY CITY. I GOT TO THE VENUE EARLIER AND HE SAW ME AND CAME TO ME AND TOLD ME IN A VERY COOL WAY "HOW ARE YOU DOING!!? AND HE TOLD ME AFTER THE CONCERT I'LL SEAT AND TALK TO YOU, BUT NOW LET ME TAKE YOU INSIDE THE VENUE AND WATCH THE SOUND CHECK" CONCERT ENDED AND CAME TO ME AND ASKED ME "DID YOUR DAD LIKE THE DRUMHEAD? FROM MY LITTLE BAG I PULLED A PICTURE OF MY DAD WITH THE DRUMHEAD IN ONE HAND A LITTLE SHEET OF PAPER SAYING "THANK YOU FOR THE WONDERFUL AUTOBIOGRAPH!! HE WAS STUNT.... THEN HE SAID, DO YOU HAVE THE PICTURE OF US?
      I PULLED IT OUT SIGNED IT AND TOLD ME "WHATEVER YOU HAVE I'LL SIGN THEM" AT THAT POINT HE HAD PROBABLY ABOUT 7 ALBUMS"

      @@RobertMJohnson as a drummer of over 35 years and a huge Bonham/Zeppelin fan and student, I have to disagree with you. I did once hold that view though. Bonham was at one time the greatest rock drummer and in some ways still is but only in his style. Bonham didn't have the technical expertise or ability of some of today's best rock drummers. What Bonham did have that most don't is a particular style of feel. Thats what hooks people into his playing and so few can duplicate. The title greatest of all time is too subjective to be put on any one drummer. They're all the greatest in their own ways. I'm sure Neil included Bonham as an influence. And if Bonham had lived long enough he would have considered Neil an influence too.
