By far the greatest band in the Solar Federation.
Even in the Lunar Federation.....
Lolz
Be most careful dear sir as the priests of the temple of Syrynx are easily roused to the slightest sound of any aural sound that may be even remotely musically joyful.......
💯‼️ABSOFUKKINLUTELY‼️
❤❤❤❤R U S H❤❤❤❤
Let’s be honest, it’s no coincidence that alien activity on earth peaked with Rush playing.
who here loooooooooooves rush besides me?
John Slater I would guess everyone.
me!!
me
I’d certainly hope all of us
Ok buddy! good way to get thumbs up here. 🤔 👍👍
Watching this interview days after the Professor passed away...How important and inspiring these 3 guys were to All whom experienced their music ♥️
Godspeed 🙏🙏
this was recorded right out when he was diagnosed in early 2016
@ rutsey was not a great drummer. yes he was their first but this band never would have became what they were without neil. as much as i love geddy being a bassist and singer myself, and of course all of alex's great work, neil was rush. and i think the other 2 would say that themselves. without neil they probably would have just continued on doing brainless rock like the first album. he was the heartbeat of rush from fly by night through the end. no such thing as rush as we all know without neil.
Rutsey was a solid drummer. But it didn't work out for him. Neil was the man, though. Kudos to Geddy for respecting the wishes of Neil and his family to not disclose Neil's illness. Geddy is a great human being.
@@trenken With Rutsey, they could have been more popular earlier as his direction was more toward a standard rock band. A few more albums and they might have found that top 10 hit
I’m assuming that 32:10 is where she asks the question, and has to lie, to keep his brother’s wishes…to not tell anyone that his brother is dying, and can’t perform anymore.
We Canadians are gutted. Please be just a little gentler for just a bit…
RIP Neil Peart. Sept 12, 1952 - Jan 7, 2020
He had brain cancer for 3 yrs(?) and Neil was always a private man so, it was kept secret. During this interview, Geddy knew…
Neil lost his daughter (car accident) and his wife in the space of 10 months…He wrote lyrics and over 12 novels.
Geddy's parents met in a concentration camp…
Love forever, from Toronto ♥♥♥
_You will never see their like again!_ A 3-man band that retires with all the original members and with class. All musical virtuosos and decent human beings-they could only come from _CANADA!!_ ♥
jmmacb03 Well said! I’m surprised this comment doesn’t have thousands of likes. Very very well said.
You summed them up beautifully, It warms my heart that Canada is proud of the Best band in rhe world. The world mourns with you. 😢
Geddy and Alex were so strong, being able to do all the PR stuff, and not let on about Neil's situation. The more I watch videos etc., the more I recognise what immense love and respect they have for one another. Sending heartfelt love and condolences to ALL the Rush family in this very difficult period. We have so much to be grateful for, we really do.
Thanks,and well done. We in Wisconsin just South of you are in mourning as well. The boys have been so much a part of us guys lives, folks didn't understand why we so sad that next week after we heard the news. It's still sinking in. Take care, eh! 😀
Well said indeed. Never again, created from the alignment of 3 talents at a different time on an analog planet.
Geddy is seriously the most humble dude to be on a stage. Such a cool guy.
not only is this guy a monster musician he is one cool cool cat total pro and a gentleman
canadians are polite people, so i have heard
i know im randomly asking but does anybody know a way to log back into an Instagram account..?
I somehow lost the account password. I would love any tips you can give me!
@Terrance Harper instablaster :)
@Dallas Guillermo thanks for your reply. I found the site thru google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Dallas Guillermo It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thanks so much, you saved my account :D
That girl is the best interviewer I have ever seen. She was so relaxed asked all the right questions and knew what she was talking about and most importantly knew WHO she was interviewing. Fabulous job young lady
Rush and ZZTop have two different musical styles and are two different bands but always admired how both bands have 3 people who are so down to earth with no egos and just enjoy making music together and respect each other.
All my life I have been so enamored by the jack swigging, coke fueled, rehab riddled, rock n rollers and all along this dude is by far one of if not the nicest, coolest rockin' rollers of them all.
I think Geddy nailed it when he said, “ I feel like out humor is the 4th member of the band “ I have always felt that people see these 3 guys, and feel the friendship they have as a big part of the band, It doesn’t hurt that the music is amazing , but people can feel how much they care for each other and that is very clearly out in the open. I really think that is the key to why fans are so strong and loyal to them.
It's a strange kind of relationship wherein the band admits that humor is a huge part of their life, yet some of the fan base get so rigid and have a sense of self righteousness in their love for the band.
A little bit of me died when Neil Peart passed. He meant so much to me throughout my life.
My heart still hurts over Neal's passing
Same here brother. I learned to drum because of him , read all his books , loved his lyrics and Rush themselves have gotten me through hard times since I was 15 ....42 now. I totally feel the same as you. Their music is part of our internal makeup....and part of us went with him.
Really greatful he put some teaching interviews in.
My father played Rush for me in our car ever since I was 5 years old and I never looked back. He unfortunately passed away when I was 14, I’m 24 now and can happily say I’m a musician because of that initial shock of hearing Hemispheres. He was into bands like Yes, Crimson, Genesis, and Floyd as well, hearing all that stuff at a young age really made quite the impression.
❤️
Geedy is just so incredibly likeable.
i met Geddy Lee at the pilot tavern in Toronto in the early 80's. He looked busy so it was just a hello. and he was very polite. so the rumors are all true. Geddy is good boy !!
No question Geddy, Alex, and Neil are classy, humble guys.
As a huge fan of Rush, I have to say HUGE RESPECT to Kylie Olsson for being a great interviewer on this. Faultless! :)
I said it out loud and my wife next to me agreed. She is either a fan or an amazing well read interviewer.
Are you kidding me? This interview is absolute shit
I thought something similar. I appreciate that she really knew the details. She's either a fan, or she did her research.
@@jms980 oh dear, here we go.
It's painful I feel for Geddy having to sit through it.
Sense of humor is the fourth member. 😄 Pretty nice, Geddy.
The three greatest musicians to ever walk the face of this Earth. Period.
funny that is exactly what my dad said right before he died
@@pappyschon3327 I've used those exact words too, and I would guess there are millions more that feel that way. I feel honoured to have existed in the same Universe at the same time as these wonderful humans, and to have enjoyed and immersed myself in their music for 40 years.
Agreed!
That's going overboard. Rush was excellent, but I can find a better musician for each of them.
Their ranking as musicians is immaterial. The greater an artist gets, the more difficult it is to compare them, and the more useless such comparisons get. It's what they did as a unified force that matters. Were any of the Beatles the greatest on their instruments? Laughable. But were the band's contributions great? We all know the answer to that.
You could put Geddy on any talk show and it would turn out as an absolute highlight.
This band NEVER disappoints me. I'm 69 years young and I've been a Rock fan since I was 10. They are the ultimate musicians and Geddy is such a special singer. For those that don't care for his voice, I suppose they don't and will never enjoy OPERA. I'm not saying that Geddy's voice is like an Opera singer but I am saying his voice is very special. His bass playing is simply spectacular and the fact that he can play the Bass Pedals and play the organ at the same time is terrific. Alex's guitar playing is like no one else's. He doesn't play Blues licks. He plays Rush licks. Again totally original. Neil as everyone knows was one of the greatest drummers of any era. Without Neil, they wouldn't have been the same band. He was a very different/special man who's last years of his life were horrible. It makes it difficult for me to believe in GOD. May the memories of the band RUSH live on.
I’m 63 and been a fan since 16 and I’m a female ❤️
Without any of them they wouldn't have been the same band.
Best rock musician EVER. Multi-tasker extraordinaire. Perfect voice. Beyond unbelievable worker and producer. And I'm not even Canadian!
you don't have to be Canadian to love rush best band ever
Perfect voice? He has decent pitch, but terrible tone.
Sounds like a gerbil on speed...
I like Rush, but I would never put Geddy's on a "best vocalist" list.
I'm from the UK and have loved rush since about 1978
Music and talent transcends tribal nationality. Why does it matter where they, you or I am from?
The man is a legend, as are all the band members, RIP Neil, you will be missed forever.
This is possibly one of the best interviews with Geddy I’ve ever seen ❤️😎
Just had to note how on top of it this Kylie Olsson is. She asks interesting questions in a natural progression, and never really falls back rote fluff like so many Music Personality interviewers. She seems more interested in Geddy Lee & Rush than just trying to get a slick interview package done. Well done Ms. Ollson.
+Ascension Arts And Digital Media agreed but kinda typical questions. seems like she just watched the documentary and recapped on all the stuff that happened
Hey man, even if watching the doc and taking notes were all the homework she'd done, I still think that put's her in the upper 90%. However, to me it seemed like she had processed more of the band's history, but that could just be her chops.
+Ascension Arts And Digital Media I agree with you, she is quite natural and unpresumptuous..
+Ascension Arts And Digital Media Definitely agree, in my opinion she did a wonderful job. Plus you can tell she has a vibrant, catchy personality and attractiveness, and that just makes for an even better interview overall.
Ascension Arts And Digital Media
It's not a bad interview at all, but the questions were pretty much presented to give a cliff notes version of Beyond The Lighted Stage. I don't mean to sound overly critical, but it is what it is.
Where she started to make it more interesting was when she asking "what's next".
My 1st concert Hemispheres, Detroit 1978 - $10.......priceless. I still have a shred of the shirt I bought.
Mine was 1976, 2112 Liverpool UK. We'd waited for months for them to come across the pond and it was so worth it
I’m so jealous!
You lucky dog!
Roll the Bones at Irvine Meadows was my first.
When I saw them in San Jose on this last tour and I realized they were working backwards in time and changing the stage each time, the music nerd in me thought of it as an homage to Haydn's "Farewell Symphony". Haydn and his orchestra had been working for a Prince at a rural palace, away from their families and the Prince had kept them way past when they were supposed to be back. During the symphony, each section completed their bit and then would blow out their candles at their stand and quietly leave the stage, until there was just a couple of them left. The Prince got the message and let them go the next day.
I'd like to add RIP Professor America loves Rush too!!!!
I freakin love this guy! And his band... RIP Neal! You were the reason my dad bought me my first Ludwig kit... for Christmas & BTW he accepted your apology! LOL
Happy to see this many comments praising the interviewer! She really did a fantastic job!
thank you 🙏
I love Geddy. Such an articulate guy.
I agree with a lot of comments here, Olson carried out an excellent interview and Geddy, what a gem of as guy.
this has to be one his top 5 interviewers of all time...well done by the interviewer
+sharkpedal Didnt she do a gret job
Yep, she asked a lot of great questions
Way better than Michael Moore, that douchebag.
Really? Because it sounded to me like she had just watched Beyond the Lighted Stage and then asked him the same questions they had answered in the film. Although, I suppose that would make her seem insightful to anyone who hadn't seen it. So, well played interviewer lady... I guess? Kinda?
have got BTLS,
Kylie did an amazing job. She really gained Geddy's respect as it continued. Bonamassa comment at the end was really the icing on the cake.
Best band of all time..
Shaun Barry Yeah !, Oh, Yeah !!!!
My all time favorite. Affirmative
Best LIVE band with full 3 hour shows. Technically the best...just three fellows... RIP Neil Peart. ♥
There's no doubt about it!
@@Gaderelli rush rubles
What a hugely enjoyable interview, Geddy is great as usual - and an excellent interveiwer too.
+Steve Smith Agreed....hearing Geddy talk is like sitting with family around the kitchen table...so easy and enjoyable and this gal knew her stuff...great interviewer chops to be sure!! This video a keeper fo sho...Cheers Steve
Mind you, i enjoyed your work in Journey too😉👍🏻
This is my fav of all interviews of Rush. The interviewer was terrifically conversational and genuinely curious. Sadly this interview could’ve taken place just months before Neil’s diagnosis. RIP Professor.
Geddy is so awesome. I enjoy his interviews almost as much as his playing.
I love Geddy Lee interviews. His mellow tone is soothing like David Gilmour's speaking voice. The brilliant nuggets of wisdom are a bonus.
May I also add to the other comments on here and STRONGLY AGREE TO WHAT A GREAT, PROFESSIONAL AND WELL HANDLED INTERVIEW BY A MAN WHO HAS BEEN INTERVIEWED BY JUST ABOUT EVERY ROCK AND ROLL JOURNALIST IN THE PLANET. SHE WAS WONDERFULLY REFRESHING !!!! and quite an attractive woman !!!
MARCO MARCOSI I agree. It's rare to see a great Rock interview.
Absolutely fantastic interview! Geddy is a great interviewee but I can't remember seeing him so relaxed and enjoying the chat. Well done Kylie Olsson!
Never heard of her before but this is one of the smartest interviews I have ever seen. An actual 'journalist' rather than a "reporter" Genuine thought into the questions.
Geddy is always a great interview, because he's so real--so down to Earth. That said, this interviewer did an outstanding job!
Rush will always have a prime place in my heart. Their music saved me when i was a teen and have been a lifeline ever since
What a great interview. The fact that Kylie is lovely and has a great voice does not hurt; however, I loved her questions and anticipated Geddy's answers - which to me is the sign of a good interview.
Rush were my first ever concert, and it was a mind blowing experience I'll never forget. These guys are nothing short of legends.
Geddy always so composed and collected he has to, I mean this guy sings, plays the bass, switch in a flick of a second to keyboards while playing the taurus pedals at the same time. He's able to do that in front of a ferociously fanatical live audience counting in the thousands almost evey night for well over forty years. Those other two guys really had it "easy".😏
A journey you take watching and listening to Rush..you never want to exit
He's so laid back and relaxed, completely different from the energetic singing. Awesome singer! Awesome bass! Awesome band!
Awesome people
Scott Will and better food!
The true concern, trust,friendship and overall compassion that surrounds the trio of Rush is such a wonderful amazing relationship. You can see and hear these emotions in Geddy's voice and face when he speaks about the tragedies that happened in The Professors life. I will be forever grateful I got to see Rush live on many occasions, and will be a fan until my final curtain call. Thank you for all the amazing music, Neil you are deeply missed by millions.
She is a fantastic interviewer. Refreshing
This was an incredible interview. It caused me to reflect back on many aspects of what Rush meant to me as a musician. When I was a young Canadian kid in the 1970's I was given a charity benefits cassette tape where up-and-coming artists had donated their music to raise money for a charity. The first song on it was "Working Man" by Rush. Ever since then, Rush was my favorite rock band. They inspired all of us young musicians to really think outside of the constraints of how our music teachers taught us (not to dismiss the importance of fundamental theory, though!). Rush is a proud part of Canadian heritage in a way, love them or hate them, as a Canadian you know them, and as a non-Canadian, Rush makes you think of Canada. I remember getting together with a local drummer, as a teenager, who showed us 7/4 time and how to count it. Now, I'm in my 40's. I looked over at my old bass guitar that had not been played so much for the past 8 years (I spent more time with MIDI, in the home studio). I thought, "how did life get so busy for me to just let that bass sit there?" I had "Limelight" memorized from playing in cover bands when I was young, so that was the first song to really come back to me. I stepped up and got back to music lessons, now I'm playing every day and it's changing my life again for the better. My wife is learning guitar for the first time, and playing music is something that is slowly bringing us together. Rush has always been inspirational, their concerts fun, their music involved and intricate, even experimental. This interview was really excellent, made me really think about what's important, and how influential and emotional the medium of music is to people and how we can either stagnate and hold on to our past, or continue to evolve and progress like Geddy Lee talks about here in this interview. Thanks Kylie Olsson, fantastic work. And thanks to anyone who read this far, probably my longest youtube comment ever.
solarfly
Read your comments and it really hit 'the nail on the head'. Yes, life can get too busy sometimes. Have to take 'the foot off the accelerator and make' the Banks wait for their money'. That is where 'the Bikers' have the 'right idea' F***K the Control. Be Free. Cause a Sonic Avalanche. Number 11 please. JIM MORRIS ON FOREVER. BE FREE
Glass of red wine and this.....Thank you Miss Olsson and Mr Lee...
Vodka and fresh pineapple for me...but yeah!!! Thanks for this!
Dont forget though both Geddy and Alex are wine collectors ;)
Really nice to watch an interview where both are so relaxed and have an obvious respect for each other. Refreshing.
My musical heroes: Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson and Neil Peart.
No Rutsey?
Dork
I caught this tour at the LA Forum. It was a great night.
One of my favorite Geddy Lee quotes from Exit Stage Left " You're basic job as a musician is to entertain people and I really believe that"
Met Geddy 2x ! He is just the same as he is here !!!
One of the best interviews I have ever heard. I'm really thankful for the interviewer. She's awesome!
I could listen to Geddy talk for hours. Great interview. The questions were good. I liked hearing about their producers.
Geddy is the most inspirational person.
So good!
Such a humble man.
and Kylie Olsson really did orchestrate a lovely and thoughtful interview!
A fantastic interview! She was really well prepared, and he was understated and great, as usual.
Geddy is and has always been a beautiful dude, let alone a brilliant musician.
Geddy, Alex and Neil were so humble and kind, that the rock world had no idea what to do with them. The funniest thing is that they could outplay everybody. When a musician wants to learn they listen and watch RUSH! ❤❤❤!
Geddy is Geddy, always awesome, well spoken, thoughtful, introspective, not trivial responses. No surprises here, great discussion. What is surprising is the quality of the interview, good research and personable, disarming interviewer. Huge props.
Funny that I stumbled upon this interview because I was out with a musician friend of mine talking about them last night. He mentioned how amazing it is to see Geddy lee in concert(I have but didn’t notice this detail) He would sometimes I guess more during the digital times be doing 4 things at once . That would be the base on the neck, the keyboard with the other hand, the foot pedal and also sing. As he mentioned Here he was glad To go back to analog songs in the 80s where he could just play base and not wear himself out. Talented guy.
Great interview! Best bass player ever!
as a bass player myself of 40 years, i think the thing that people who say "the best " miss is that, peart especially, is great in the context of rush. these guys are fish out of water playing with other bands or musicians. i've heard peart playing jazz with big bands and it's average at best. these guys have developed as a unit for 40 years. playing with others changes things dramatically
@@babayaga1767 makes sense. Remember those drummers in those sessions are chart reading. Burning for Buddy. A lot of great drummers. There's no denying Geddy's a great bass player. Love him playing along with Neil's fills. Bass player for Pat Travers. Mars Cowling. Great. I don't consider jazz average. Tough to play. Coordinated independence. I appreciate your post
One of Geddy's best interviews.
My Father In Law introduced me to Rush, and I glad he did. They are just phenomenal!
There isn't ANYTHING I don't love about these guys!! Truly the best of the best!!
What a classy guy, and what a great interview
lovely interview, really well documented and very professional journalist, making the right questions; taking advantage of every second of being in front of such a legend of music. Congratulations to the lady.
It always strikes me as odd, this "dirty little secret band" ? I was a kid in Sa TX. We were granted the extreme goodwill to have been introduced to Rush in the early 70's. There was no secret, no blushing cheeks to have been a person who was moved by the music of Rush. They were ALWAYS on top for all of us. Rush rocked our world, and we were made better for it. Still today, I am moved by Rush as much as I was when I was a kid first listening to this awesome band. No matter the terribly awful "music" that has been imposed upon me from "main stream" crap since the inception of this phenomenal trio. Maybe because of this, I truly couldn't say. But I do know this, I was blessed to have been able to know their sound since I began understanding and growing as an individual in this awful society that I had to endure to navigate life. Like many other beings, Rush helped me to maintain, to have hope visited through their sound and lyrics that helped me to continue. Also, I know that you can't hear me Geddy, but Thank you so very very much brother.
Right i remember buying the first record in 1974 ,then fly by night in 76 on 8 track tape as a kid it texas.The rednecks gave me and my long haired friends shit over this band and we just laughed at them and called them all goat ropers and stuck our lips out at then ...
The Best most underrated band of all time.
Most underrated of all time? Not even close. They get their due
Humm... Over 40 million albums sold that's underrated?
@@216Numbskull As a Canadian its hard to imagine anyone in my country hasn’t a favourite or several favourite Rush album’s let alone songs. They certainly aren’t under rated here.
@@kathypiazza7228 I absolutely agree, I was being sarcastic. Especially, seeing it was us the music fans in Cleveland, who actually put RUSH on the map when nobody else would give them a shot really. Specifically a lady named Donna Halper, who was a radio DJ & music director for WMMS in Cleveland who is credited with discovering RUSH in 1974. When she played RUSH on radio spinning the song "Working Man" that is 7 minutes long, (unheard of in radio play) but did it anyway and immediately caught our ears, and loaded the stations phone lines by requests to play it again and again! Donna is still very close friends with Geddy & Alex, RIP Neil. "TIME MACHINE 2011: LIVE IN CLEVELAND” was the band’s first live album recorded in the US, and a deliberate nod of gratitude to the fans of Cleveland the first city that supported RUSH on radio & record sales in the start of their career. So, RUSH was never underrated here in Cleveland either. ++Peace, & Rock n' Roll++
What Geddy says at 9:50 is just so pure that i actually included it in my senior research paper.
one of the best interviews ever
Came for the interview, fell in love with the interviewer😍
Wow best interview yet! This nice lady actually listens and shows interest!
I’ve been obsessed with Rush since I was 10 in 1974. Looooveee Rush so much. RIP Neil! Thanks for all the great memories
Could this be the first Rush interview in history where the interviewer doesn't ignorantly ask about Neil's tragedy? About time.
+Jay Mantis I agree. I'm sure you've seen the interview with the guy whose name I don't know where he brings it up and you can see how uncomfortable Neil gets; to the point of saying something about moving on to another topic. Of course, we as fans want to know, but there is a time and place to bring something like that up. That interview was neither the time nor the place.
+BigSkippy1263 that was john roberts of cnn.
who has been a huge rush fan from the very begining
he was a dj in toronto and a roadie for April Wine,
most rush fans where horrified when he went there
but i guess he couldnt resist since interviewing neil peart doesnt happen everyday
but, as with everything rush, they handeled it with class
roberts realized his error and moved on.
he has also taken a massive beating from rush fans ever since
niel peart is loved in a way no other "star " in the world is.
its not really love, its a profound respect
you cant do things like that to him
+roman14032 thank you. Perhaps I'm just one of those people who think their idols need protection from those in the media we think are being disrespectful towards them. It would be pretty amazing to get an interview with someone as private as Neil. And, you're right about him moving along from it instead of belaboring the point.
I think after the CNN debacle people know better than to inquire.
She was obviousbly so well-prepared, she knew better than to do down that path, I think.
This is the absolute antithesis of the hackneyed "fluff" interview.
One of the best interviews ever with a member of the "best" rock band ever.
Kylie Olsson: fantastic job. Engaging, appropriately respectful yet very insightful while still leading the discussion into interesting and naturally fluid ways. Most importantly, always remembering to let the interviewee speak.
Of course, it never hurts when your interviewee is as well-spoken, thoughtful and open as Geddy Lee. :)
cheers and THANKS!
Are you kidding me???? This interview is the definition of fluff and ignorance
@Jeff Oliver I think that's the point Jeff. I'm not trying to be argumentative when I say this, but some saw the interview and others listened to the interview. I put it on while driving and very soon noticed that the questions didn't lend themselves to a very informative interview. It was equivalent to being asked to write about a movie and just reading the back of the DVD and solely using that information.
Rush is not atheist.
God bless you always in the name of the Father and Son and the Holy Spirit . Thanks for bringing no rapper in the music Roll the bones. And all the old tunes. Move on and let's all pray for word pandemic love Robyn
@@jms980 Different strokes for different folks. If you're a true Rush fan you'd likely try to live life a bit more emblematic of that mindset. Clearly your in-car listening of a videotaped interview colored your views, just as watching the video may have colored mine. Still, I absolutely stand by my initial opinion and assessment. You're of course free to disagree as I am equally free to disregard your opinion. Cheers....
What an amazing interview. Disappointed that at the time she didn’t post a picture with Geddy on her Instagram. Excellent knowledge and questions.
40 years as a band is amazing, and now it seems they are really at the top of their game after Clockwork Angels! Great music and great guys!!
A charming, and beautiful interviewer.
Good interview. Reminded me why Rush is one of my all time favorites.
Love the Band Rush ever since the first time of heard them which was back in 1978! I was the only kid in Junior High school who was listening to them and wearing their Tee Shirts! Still a big Fan to this day!
"Definition of a power-trio" Well there's the understatement of the century...
The late 70s Rush is my favorite!
What, you mean they still released albums after Moving Pictures?
Luke Johnston yes agreeed. A farewell to kings and 2112 are just perfect
Cygnus X-1 - Hemispheres Saga!
Luke Johnston everything they have done is my favourite!
Luke Johnston last 20 years is mine , cause its harder for them to play live which they do , WITHOUT HELP !!!
What a fantastic interview! Geddy was very open and that adorable woman asked very intelligent and meaningful questions.
What a great guy, a gentleman, a very humble guy. Here is one guy that fame has never changed. He always has time for his fans.
The best example of endurance diligence maturity and love. This lineup is the perfect example of harmony amongst music and musicians.
Love you RUSH!!!
Brilliant interview. I tear-up EVERY time Neil is mentioned.
Just absolute class, including the interviewers fantastic questions
GOD BLESS YOU GEDDY LEE & RUSH !!!
What a genuinely nice guy.
RIP Neil.
She is smart and lovely. A great interviewer. Her questions were on the money and clearly well researched. She got Geddy to open up and elaborate on cool topics. Excellent job.
I really enjoyed this interview. Kylie Olsson was great and Geddy is a fantastic open interview. He is a regular guy who happens to be a genius and all of Rush has a great sense of self depreciating humor.
My friend from high school days, Sean Reinert, died last year. Then, shortly after, Neil Peart. Two amazing drummers; two amazing legacies.
The Power Windows' sound is a real joy.
Brandon Muzyka I hope one day, they (or Geddy) pullout an album like that again.
Total agreed.
Really? One of my least favorite (sonically) of their records.
Very thin, very plastic sound. There were some good songs... basically, all the even numbered tracks on the album. The odd numbered tracks I didn't care for as much. Except "Territories", that wasn't bad.
After "Grace Under Pressure" (also a bit thin but not nearly as bad as albums like "Power Windows", "Presto" and "Roll the Bones"), I think the next decent sounding one they made was "Counterparts". Though "Hold Your Fire" wasn't bad.
Color and taste are what they are. You should never think that you are a reference.
This band is good enough to allow themselves strong variations in their style, so some people don't like it all.
I am fond of Power Windows' vocals, lyrics, and Wal bass sound. Alex is sort of sidelined on the album though, and even in the remaster, there's an overall thinness. It's definitely one of the more divisive Rush albums; numerous diehard fans completely hate it. But many of us like it at least somewhat, and I was very happy with its revisitation on the Clockwork Angels tour.
Absolutely THE BEST ROCK BAND EVER !!! THE MUSICIANSHIP, THE EXCELLENT LYRICAL ABILITIES OF NEIL PEART, ON TOP
OF ALL OF THIS TALENT IS A FOUNDATION IF HUMILITY, GENEROSITY, AND WONDERFUL HUMAN BEINGS !!! I am so sad that their days may have ended as a trio !!! They have meant an enormous amount to me in my life !!!!
i completely agree
WHAT I COULDNT HEAR YOU AFTER ABSOLUTELY

When i get home at 5:00, I take myself out an ice cold beer
