He changed man. As would anyone. Loss of his daughter (car accident) loss of his wife (cancer I believe) . I know that weighed heavily on him. I always felt bad for him as I would for any person who went through that. He was never the same. He definitely turned inward. Think about it, he didn’t care about fame and he damn sure didn’t care about meeting fans towards the end.. So I like to remember him like this. If there is a God and I truly believe there is, hopefully Neil is with his wife and his daughter.

Neil hadn’t quite had enough time to get sick of being “Neil Peart” at that time. After more years of hearing the cringy things that fans would say to him… that was when he decided he had enough of people The irony in THAT is that it’s the crazed superfans and RUSH POLICE who are quick to jump in and cut other fans down in the name of their defense… those are the same ones who helped do that to Neil and the others with their cringy shit they say to them thinking they’re being “good fans”, when in fact, they’re embarrassing the hell out of them making them second guess their music and choices

I feel happy for all those who have been able to call these guys their friends over the years. It would do the world some good to have more people in the spotlight like this as examples of living imperfect but well meaning lives full of fun, compassion, and integrity.

Having see RUSH only 28 times; I'm still lamenting the fact that there will never be a 29th. Been a huge fan since the lead guitarist in my 2nd band turned me onto Farewell To Kings back in 77. As a bass player myself I'm almost embarrassed to tell people that it took me about 10 years to be able to play Freewill note for note. For a long time I would find myself hearing a different nuanced tone I hadn't heard before (or was unable to properly play lol), or another attack on the 3rd descending riff where Geddy threw in an extra note to fill the 7/8 time signature they were playing in. Those 3 were all incredibly talented players, with Ged being the only musician I'm aware of that can compartmentalize his brain in order to play intricate and awesome bass lines while singing a melody and hitting pedals and triggering pots with his feet! I'm lucky if I can harmonize a little back up vox if I'm playing intricate bass lines!

Of the many talented musicians in Max Webster, the one I have to say has the most staying power is Kim Mitchell, the band’s founder. I don’t know if you know of him or knew he was in Max Webster (The time that Max Webster toured with Rush was in fact their last active year: 1981. Afterwards, Mitchell went solo). Some songs of his to check out: Rainbow, Go for a Soda, That’s the Hold, All We Are, Easy to Tame. I like them all and they’re great for a summer drive. I would even recommend just checking out his first three albums; they’re worth the listen.

After this album and the success of Permanent Waves, they would get a lot more guarded, especially Neil. Remember, it was on the next Album that he would write the lyrics to Limelight "I can't pretend a stranger is a long awaited friend".. Neil in particular got a lot less comfortable sharing than he is here. Even in this interview, you can hear how the interviewer is trying to set up some controversy. But at least there was "quiet time" before a show and it was not so crawling with phonies, etc - as I am sure it became once they got bigger. I remember those days, as I was in High School, and I remember RUSH getting exponentially more popular after Permanent Waves. The Moving Pictures sent them to the stratosphere.

RUSH is THE PERFECT EXAMPLE of the fluidity of MASTERING TIME SIGNATURES! I play drums and there are a few things that you need to know about Neil Peart’s ( pronounced PEER-T) character: First he writes the lyrics so he knows in advance what TYPE of song it’s meant to be ie ballad, driver, etc. Second he COMPOSES on the drums… like a carpenter who looks at a set of blueprints before building the object. Neil lays out a SKETCH in his mind of the VOICES of the drumset and builds the song from there. He is also a great LISTENER knowing when NOT to step over Geddy’s singing or Alex’s solos! Finally, he had perfect timing and fluidity of time changes. He said himself that it’s not about COUNTING the time signatures as much as fluid motion to change the tempo without counting: in other words it should FLOW! He hates repeating the same drum patterns in the same song meaning if he plays a fill one way the first time around he will play it differently the second time around. IE. Rolls down the toms the first time around and triplets or quads (all four limbs) the second time around. In short there will NEVER be another like him on planet earth 🌍 🌏 🌎! REST IN PEACE PROFESSOR! With heart felt admiration and sincerity! Gary

Rush mastering time signatures? you one, 7/8. Over used to the point of cliche.

@@gianthills They don't sit down and say "Let's write in (x) time signature." They just write what they feel. Jacob's Ladder alternates between 5/4, 6/4 and 7/4, then 6/8 and 7/8. Limelight is 7/4 not 7/8. The middle of La Villa (A Lerxst in Wonderland) is in 7/8. Kid Gloves is in 5/4 for the intro and verses and 4/4 for choruses. The Trees starts in 3/4, moves into 4/4 and the solo section is 5/4.

@@garylagstrom3864 You forgot Subdivisions and YYZ. guess what time signature they both use. They have a about 20 fn songs in 7/8 and you think you're cleaver with one or two that deviate. Trees is 6/8 not 3/4.

So funny hearing Alex speaking about his “dreams”. Geddy referenced that Alex would always bring up his dreams in conversation - most influenced by the devils lettuce.

I think what catches me on this "Spirit of Radio" song is Neil's metalic gusto with that cymbol melody! I first heard it in Highschool on my radio station luckily my stereo at that time was hifi enough to capture that incredible percussion wave! Neil Peart blows the Hell out of any other drummer I heard before. Geddy often stated he pitched up his voice because radios and stereos were no good. But HiFi came out after the early 1970s.

They are sooooo un rock and roll. They are three very nice boys making music for other teenage boys. Geddy smoking a cigarette is probably the most rock and roll thing they ever did. Respect.
