Producer: What time signature is this song?
Rush: All of them.
You literally just made me spit out my iced tea mid - sip as I was reading comments 😂😂🤣 best comment so far, excuse me while I clean up my desk and computer screen 😳😆
@@michelleleeginger5225 I am sorry about that. I am still laughing every time thinking about Geddy, Alex, and Neil innocently looking up at the producer. :D
Nah. They mostly did stuff in 3, 4, and 7. Couple things in 5. "Driven" is probably their most metrically complex song. Usually they were pretty tasteful about using odd time.
Nice! Lmfao!
Depends on which part of the song you're at.
One of my favorite things is how seamlessly in the pocket Neil and Geddy were. They rarely even needed to look at each other (except to goof off and try to get Neil to smile). To play such complex time signatures and just be clicked in together like that. Just one of the best rhythm duos of all time.
In my opinion, Natural Science is their absolute pinnacle - balancing song writing creativity & technical prowess. I never get tired listening.
Yes. This will require many listens :)
@@AndrewRooneyDrums
Enjoy that!!! I've heard that song many times... And have enjoyed every second of it!
You are so RIGHT
I've never heard a better version than what I saw live in Virginia in 2007. The balance between the studio perfection and the live energy has never been better. I'm sure I'm biased from having been there in person, but I can't hear any other version and not immediately think it's somehow lesser.
It’s my favorite Rush song. The lyrics, guitar, bass, drums, everything is just perfect!
The first time I heard this as a teenager back in the 90's, my mind was blown. It still makes my jaw drop every time I hear it.
The best thing about the band I always thought was the fact that they always got along so well and really enjoyed each other's company, and you never heard of them being involved in anything negative.Just thinking about Neil never playing again is still super raw to me,he is missed by so many people, not only the drum community,R.I.P. my friend 💐
There was that time when Alex punched somebody in restaurant, which is really out of character for the biggest happy joker in the band. I guess they probably had it coming.
Working as a team is so crucial!
@@jaycoy107 wasn't that the time he and his son got arrested on New Year's for drunken disorderly conduct? I think it was in Florida.
Just goes to show, booze can make even an easy-going person change.
Like equals would or true brothers
Keep seeing images of Neil drumming and he’s always so serious looking reminded me that I saw in an interview where his mom asked him why he never smiles....and he told her ...mom, because it’s hard.....lol
There are three basic eras of Neil's setup: original, post-electronics, post-Freddie Gruber. The core of his setup stayed basically the same from 1974, but simply got bigger, with small tweaks here and there. As he embraced electronic drums in the 80s, the "back half" of the kit appeared, and some of the orchestral percussion pieces disappeared. He went from double kicks to a single bass with double pedal in the 90s, but still in the same core configuration he had used since the 70s. After studying with Freddie Gruber in the 90s, he tore it all apart and reconfigured his kit from scratch, resulting in the basic setup you see in this video, which would remain for the rest of his career.
Adding to this, he explains his thought process for his post-Freddie Gruber setup at the beginning of his video "A work in progress" which I believe is posted on CZcams. It provides a lot of interesting insight into setting up drums.
except El Darko which was used on their last tour along with another modern kit. Someone else can explain the R40 tour.
Drum tech:: Lorne “Gump” Wheaton
Neil took lessons in his forties with the aforementioned Freddie Gruber and later, with Peter Erskine. He was always striving to live up to his potential as a drummer. Fantastic drummer, lyricist, author; humble human being through all the fame and fortune. And much missed.
@@chrisandersen5635 He worked so hard and didn't even get to use his skills. RIP Neil
@@landonpeckham7752 The point of the journey, is not to arrive 😉
It's funny that Geddy is wearing ablah blah blah t shirt considering Alex's part of their acceptance speech when Rush was inducted into the Rock hall of fame
HAHAHA!
@@AndrewRooneyDrums no joke he went BLAH BLAH BLAH for almost 2 min. Not even exaggerating it
And way before it happened.
Geddy's shirt predicted Alex's acceptance speech 5 years ahead.
Neil and Geddy get all the plaudits and rightly so but Alex is up there with Page,Blackmore,Van Halen, Iommi et al. SO underrated.
He's slayin' it Neil!
I agree with this 100%!!!
The whole band. This music will be listened long long in the future, after the demise of all religions. Meaning of this, yes there are lyrics but it was pure expression of 3 musical masters.
@@viadharmawheel No. People will stop listening to this sort of music sometime in the next 50 years, but they will return to it in 2112.
Alex is an amazing player..he is envied by many top players today like Petrucci, Morelo, Hemmett etc
One thing to note about Rush is that not only did the band stay together for a more-or-less uninterrupted 41 years, the support personnel largely stayed around for decades (to the point where there would be the grown kids of their truck drivers driving trucks for them on tour): Howard Ungerleider designed the light shows for basically all of those 41 years. Perhaps nothing shows better how good they were to work with, if people wanted to come back to work with them.
Neil's drum tech was a guy named Larry Allen up to Test For Echo after which they went on hiatus for 5 years. Then it was a guy named Lorne Wheaton from Vapor Trails up to the end
Lorne started out in high school helping various bands in the Toronto area including Rush , He built up his name and got hired by April wine as his first professional job , he went on with Steve Smith from Journey stayed with Steve when formed a jazz band , He then joined Bryan Adam’s and various other bands , Rush hired him back after Neil passed Kiss hired him right away Lorne developed a great relationships with various cymbal and Drum companies,
Just discovered this great channel
Great react to the one of the best songs ever made!
The Three Guys Orchestra!
Rest in power, Neil
Thanks for finding me! Plenty of content if you scroll back!
@@AndrewRooneyDrums your reacts are so good! Regards from Brazil!
@@Alberto_1965_BR Very kind of you Sir. Take care my friend
This is in my top three list of favorite Rush songs. It’s got so much complexity going on.
I live in Toronto, Canada -- literally blocks away from where Natural Science was originally recorded. Man, that is so coooool that Geddy took a camcorder and filmed all the audiences saying "Hello Canada"..... we never got that treatment here. :) I know we're all here for the drums, but goodness, Geddy is a true gem of the music world.
He sure is a gem Warren!
Natural science was recorded in Morin Quebec. At le studio. A little more than a few blocks from Toronto.
I was so blessed to have so many great memories of Rush through the years whether it was seeing them live or just listening to the music. They continue to inspire me every day and I cannot imagine my life without their music.
Fantastic Jim!
It is so much to watch you to react to rush. For us fans, their songs are like the alphabet. All parts/fills/grooves are all ingrained. :)
Neil's kit not only evolved, it revolved.
Nice!
After Rush’s 3rd album, the record companies were pushing them to release a radio friendly, 3 minute song type album, so they released 2112, (which went platinum in Canada) and forced the record execs to allow them the creative freedom they wanted. Now there are 19 masterpiece Rush albums.
Can't wait to hear it all Paul
@@AndrewRooneyDrums another well oiled canadian trio is triumph (they're not rush but they could play and sing). gil moore, the drummer, would sing lead vocals on some tracks. normally the guitarist, rik emmett, was lead vocal and he had an unbelievable voice. their biggest gig was the US festival in 1983 (300 000 people) and they stole the stage from much more well known bands.
gil moore sings lead - Triumph - Rock N' Roll Machine
geddy didn't have such a unique tone for 60's, 70's, 80's canadian vocalists that were popular in canada - it was a bit odd but that high tone was quite normal.
Andrew takes a sip of coffee at one of the "worst" possible moments at 9:38. (Was half expecting him to spit it out in shock at 9:39--nice save!)
Lol, yeah I went back and watched him, so funny
HAHA Yes Lance!!!
Ok,my name is Lantz,lol
Some people just die too early. Watching Neil was always a treat. Very innovative drummer and lyrics writer. We miss you. RIP Professor! BTW that chicken grill in the background (earlier they had washing machines) were a reaction from Geddy being "jealous" on Alex's big guitar racks. So he had some "towers" of his own. Rush was a funny band too... I'm a Rush and Babymetal fan for life. Greets from Germany! (if you wanna know why "Blah Blah Blah" is written on Geddy's shirt, watch Alex speech at their introduction to the Rock and Roll hall of fame)
Imagine a band with such technical prowess and complex songs with deep Philosophical and scifi lyrics have these big and insane audiences. Like people jumping and chanting along to instrumental songs like yyz. Its just insane and unique in the history of music I think.
The rotisserie chicken was real, BTW. If you weree close enough to the stage you could feel the heat from it, and partway through the show someone would come out during a song to baste it. I've heard that after each concert they shared the chicken with the crews, both the touring crew and whatever crew was at the site.
The greatest thing about these three guys is they never let their Fame and Fortune interfere with what they always put first l...which was their their families, their friendship. These guys play together for almost 45 years. Yet if you watch them in some of their skits on many of their DVDs or a dinner with rust or whatever they were always joking around with each other and remained the best of friends until Neil passed and I'm sure Getty and Alex are still best friends, from the time they first met and became friends through their shared interest in music in the 5th grade at the same elementary school in Canada until today.
You need to watch the documentary “Beyond the lighted stage” made by Canadian film maker Sam Dunn, which in collaboration with Rush covers their career.
This is one of the few tracks a highly recommended the studio version over any live track. It’s just so perfect and complete on the studio version it just misses something from the live versions.
lorne wheaton was the drum tech and this still is my Favorite of Rush. I thought I had some skill until I tried tackling this song and found out how in shape I had to be, mentally and physically to play it correctly. Brilliant choice Andrew and love the channel
Thanks Rob!
Two handed ride pattern, one of Neil’s signature moves
Excellent Stephen!
Nice to have a Kiwi on board. May I suggest "Red Barchetta" by Rush. A true drummers song. On the "Moving Pictures " album.
Especially the Time Machine tour video!
Thanks for the tip Ron!
The live version from Exit...Stage Left is the best version of that song
There is no "best" only a favorite. To demean another version of the song is sacrilege!
@@JDCEsq1 I stand corrected, Jack - it's all subjective; however, in my opinion, that version is their best and it's certainly my favorite
I like the Neil Peart section of Andrew Olson’s website. He has collected everything into one place including details on all the kits.
And going back to the “Anthem” video, you can see what Neil used in early days.
Thanks for the super useful comments as always!
@@AndrewRooneyDrums Hey. Obsessive. 😂
WHOA! Dude! Thank you for that info as well! VERY cool :D.
I forget how lucky I have been to experience Rush for most of my life. I first saw them on the 2112 tour - I was 14 and had never heard of them, but I went to pretty much any concert that came to town. Saw their next couple of tours (Farewell to Kings in '78, and Hemispheres a couple of years later). Saw them a few more times after that, including the last time in (I think) 2013. I have been blessed to experience them.
As for "did Neil's drum kit change over the years?" - I think it got smaller over the years as technology allowed him to make more sounds without bringing every single kind of percussion with him. If I recall correctly, on the Farewell to Kings tour, his kit was a "cage" that he literally had to climb into on a ladder.
Natural Science is just one of the many many Rush songs that amazes me every time I listen to it. You made me chuckle when you said "it's quite a lot to take in", and "This is 55 songs in one". Welcome to the awesome, intricate, multi-layered, complex work of Rush! Awesome channel. Subscribed!
Thanks for subbing!!
Glad you have arrived. You still have a long way to go. As I, a life long Rush fan has journeyed. Have seen them on many occasions. Enjoy your journey into understanding the greatness. That is, and was rush. Long live the professor. 🙏
Neil's kit evolved over time. Everything Great often does.
Rush can claim a spot among the very greatest on the face of the Mt. Rushmore of rock music. Natural Science is an apt product of a band which has pushed the boundaries of what is possible in rock music and done so with near technical, lyrical and rhythmic perfection. A band nonpareil.
Rushmore needs more Rush.
You really need to watch RUSH'S Beyond the Lighted Stage!
I am a UK Drummer , now retired. Neil , and John Bonham have helped me to progress. I am 53 and have been a RUSH fan
since I was 13. They are Still UNIQUE as a band, NOBODY can be like RUSH. They were never mainstream and did not want to be mainstream as some of their songs explain by Neil's stunning lyrics and interview. Their goal was to be themselves. They have been close friends since teens. They are Decent humble people despite their SKILL on their own instruments. As a Rush fan you can guarantee that live is super close to the LP's . They pride themselves on their performance. They do it for the fans. When you listen to their interviews , they are ALL Intellectual, I think not being (rude) You have a lot of stuff to learn about this band. Go back and see how they have grown over the decades. Us RUSH fans are all the same we LOVE OUR band, The greatest.
Geddy ripping those insane basslines.. while singing 🤯 long live the holy trio. Cheers from🇨🇦eh 🤘
And playing keyboards/doing bass pedals ;)
How do you spell tight? R-u-s-h! Every time I saw them live (31 times), this is the song I always wanted to hear and was rewarded so many times. Thanks Rush and RIP Neil.
💯👌
Great reaction, thank you! Keep those Rush reactions coming, they are so appreciated.
Thank you! Will do Paul!
So glad you did this track I watch your video on 'Where My Thing' and thought he should do Natural Science and you now have GREAT ! , Peart is the reason I kept playing drum at I4 when I first heard him in 1984 and fell in love with his style, to this day draw inspiration from his drumming and his lyrics, thanks again my friend your series is great !
What a machine he was in this performance! He was still taking drum lessons from the likes of Peter Erskine the very same year of this tour. He always said "I wasn't talented....but I 'was' relentless."
Talk about a montage of my life's journey. Rush has been with me for 40+ years carrying me through trial and tribulation. How to thank one of your lifetime heroes for thousands of amazing memories...
Even now as a life long Rush fan i still hear new things when i listen to songs i thought i had down pat.
GREAT
More RUSH. They've put out a bunch of their lives shows on DVD. There musical catalog is vast and unmatched.
Awesome vid! - Thanks and keep em coming!
Neils Drum tech is from Toronto he was a roadie with various Toronto bands . Including Rush just basic helping out. He went on full time with April wine after . Then Journeys Steve Smith met him and hired him he stayed with Steve thru our holis time with Journey then went with him on his solo jazz projects. After Steve he went with Bryan Adams and various artist . Rush brought Lorne in as a carpenter then hired him full time as Neils Drum tech . Neil knew Lorne from their time in Toronto as young upstarts . After Neils passing Kiss hired Lorne .
If you are sincerely interested in finding out about Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, and Neil Peart, I highly suggest you find and watch, "Rush: Beyond the Lighted Stage".
Watch the Rush final tour concert. It takes you on a Rush through time. They played songs from every album, as well as the original or recreated original instruments. In this musical concert journey you can see Neil's kit changes and progressions.
Important for the R40 tour is that each song was played on the original gear for that record/tour, as far as possible, so that's a retro kit Neil is playing.
Oh wow. I love that Mike!
I believe this is the Snakes and Arrows tour.
The world's smallest orchestra strikes again!! Never ceases to amaze me just how much these 3 guys could do, especially live!! They consistently met, and usually exceeded what was done on the studio track, be it making it heavier, fuller, more sonically intricate (don't know how, but they did!) or just better!! I guess that's a testament to their work ethic - their need for perfection & giving 110% at each and every show! I have never left a Rush show disappointed (and that's 9 shows). Some I may have enjoyed more, but that was due to setlist and possibly venue. My 1st still is a standout because they played ALL of 2112!
Lorne Wheaton was Neil's drum tech from 2002 Vapour Trails album to the end. Not sure whom before that.
The 'kit' has definitely changed over the years. Generally new drums/cymbals, etc. to mark the new album - so a new 'look', plus the change of some organic instruments to electronic (eg. tubular bells, temple blocks switched to programmable MIDI), but in terms of setup around Neil, not sure - I'm no expert. Another great reaction, thanks for making my Monday morning! Cheers!
Losing Neil was like losing the cool older brother that I never had.
When Rush wrote their album 2112 they were told by they're label to write shorter radio friendly songs. They decided to write whatever they wanted and 2112 was their middle finger to the record industry. They wrote an absolute masterpiece that got absolutely no radio play but still sold 10 million copies. The label never questioned them again.
That's where it all really started.
Rush has a great sense of humor! God I am going to miss them… I wanted to see them one mor3 time but was too ill… God bless Rush, and thanks for the insanely great memories!
You'll have to check out their story, a record company tried to reinstall them in. They were told to make short radio friendly songs. They responded with 2112, an epic 22 minute prog rock tune that was never played on the radio but was wildly successful, they were given free rein after that.
2112 is one of the most epic tunes in any genre. It made RUSH who they were.
You should give it a listen.
I just love your reactions to Niels fills, you get this big smile on your face. I get the same thing. I was in a band with a drummer who was always bragging that he could be as precise as Neil if he wanted, then he would start drinking before the gig and was all over the place. I can really appreciate professional musicians who strive to always put their fans first. Rush opened for Kiss on one of their tours and Gene Simmons tells the story that he and his entourage were always partying after their gigs. The three Rush guys would be in their rooms sober, working on new music and talking to their families on the phone. They really were different and always went their own way.
Thanks for another enjoyable Rush reaction! You should also check out some of the video available of Neil chatting with Freddie Gruber, with whom he studied during one of Rush’s break periods. I remember in one clip Neil saying that they didn’t really ever “play drums” together. They spent most of the time talking about motion and dancing. Fascinating stuff.
I got to hear this live back on the late 90's. A bucket list item checked off..
Fun fact: just to show the level of reverence we Canucks have for Neil, his original Slingerland silver double kick drum kit was totally refurbished and auctioned off recently. This was the kit used exclusively on the first 4 albums Neil was a part of - ‘Fly by Night’, ‘Caress of Steel’, ‘All the World’s a Stage’ (their first live album and my own personal introduction to the band), and ‘A Farewell to Kings’. Needless to say, it sold for an insane amount of money (don’t recall the exact amount, but it was pretty bonkers).
I bet it went for a boat load Scott!
Be plenty of keen buyers too
Great video Andrew, not that it is in fact my fav band of all time but you're absolutely right, these guys made ART!
Couldn't agree more George!
As a life long Rush fan, they were one of a kind 👌🏽 So glad to have seen them many many many times!
Damn i miss Neil 😞🙏🏼
I'm so glad to discover them now
@@AndrewRooneyDrums Very glad you have 🎵🎸🥁🎵
Do a reaction video on “Dinner with RUSH” lol It gives you a glimpse into their friendship, chemistry on a “off the stage level”. Very funny.
To this day it’s amazing that a trio can have such a full sound.
I remember seeing them Sept 2 1979 at Varsity Stadium The band FM was the opening act. The stadium was only partially filled around the stage it was bizarre They were not well received here in Canada until the mid to late 80's They took off like wildfire in the USA The USA loved them right from the beginning Canadians were slow on realizing how good they are. Myself I was a fan right from the first album
Like these Andrew series so much. And Rush are making me happy every day and always. RIP Neil. Miss you
I am only discovering Rush now, nice to have company on Rush journey!
When they made 2112 they took complete creative control. That was their make or break record. After the success of that album, their record company, and management had no say whatsoever in what they wrote and recorded.
Thanks Andrew this was a real treat. I'm a huge RUSH fan, and have been since I was a kid and 2112 came out. I was in 5th grade and have been a fan since. I have RUSH decals on my car, as well.
Fantastic!
i have to admit that i am someone who didn't really discover rush until i was nearly 50. of course i knew who they were and i knew some of their big hits, but i really didn't KNOW them. now that i know, i have to agree with the folks who have known all along that Rush is perhaps the greatest band of all time !
Excellent! Your content is always top notch! Thank you!
Much appreciated!
Thanks for the reaction. I’ve never watched a live Natural Science performance before, so really interesting to see how cleanly Neil played it live. And those chickens in the back looked darn tasty! The roadies must have been counting down the minutes until the show ended.😄
Your absolutely right!
Yessss
Watching you enjoy the performances and mastery of RUSH brings me back to this channel to see more.
A lot of people recommend the older Rush songs. Basically everything Signals and earlier. I like to recommend newer songs towards the end of their career so you can see how they progressed over time. One song that I always loved because it had a melancholy feel to it and some absolutely wonderful drumming is "Vapor Trail" from "Vapor Trails Remixed". That album has amazing drumming all throughout it, but I especially like that song for the contemplative feel it has. It has interesting drumming that changes up, and really kicks in during the choruses. When that album came out (about 2002), I was listening to it and pulled into the gas station to fill up the tank. The attendant came up to my car during the instrumental part when Neil was wailing on the drums, and he said "Is that Rush?" I said it was, and he said "I figured it had to be. Not many people can play drums like that." Just make sure it's from the Vapor Trails Remixed album. The original Vapor Trails album had some problems with the mixing (it was recorded way to loud and everything clips), so they had it remixed and the difference is stark.
The rotisseries made Geddy's sound "crisp" with some "sizzle". Later, when he added dryers he actually had them mock mic'd up to give him a "warm tone". it was all just a visual gag to replace the amps he no longer used.
Amazing song, Amazing masters of their measure. Howdy from Fort Worth, Texas.
It’s a super story, number 1 album was fantastic in 1974, second album and tour tanked and record company told them that their next album better be radio friendly or they are done.....Rush thumbed their nose at record company and made 2112 which was just as artsy as ever and it was a masterpiece, and the rest is history, they did what they wanted
Lorne (Gump) Wheaton took care of Neils kit for so many years and they were great friends also.
They did it their way and they stuck together for almost 40 years at the highest level of their craft. Early on the record companies wanteed to reign them in, they were basically told 2112 was going to be their last album if they didnt turn to a more popular "Bad Company" style, and instead they dropped an album that included an 18 minute prog metal saga about dystopian sci fi future.
Though they did eventually have to change - Natural Science was their last "epic" as they noted in the liner notes for Permanent Waves, but that was based more on the times I think than meddling by management
Glad you found RUSH... You found the best! Not only the sounds are amazing! The stories and Neil Peart Lyrics are genius... Natural Science is like Music Darwinism and Peart's observations are a great source of knowledge... These guys were at another level! RUSH songs are like 5 songs in one! I am a big fan... People all over the word should learn about them... So much to learn from many of their numerous songs... So much to appreciate! - I always Keep the lyrics on the side with the Lyrics here extension. RUSH is the best band ever, in my view!
Alex Lifeson magnificent! One of the most underrated guitar players. Top 10 for me!
If you watch the first rush documentary they talk about the record company. They took a chance and made 2112 against the wish of the record companies request for radio songs and they handed in track 1 side 1
My all time fave Rush song!
The Camera Eye from Moving Pictures or a great video where Neil is tracking drums for his friend Matt Scannell from the band Vertical Horizon. The track is called Instamatic.
I really like to see reaction videos from other musicians. You got a sub.
Thanks Richard!
Andy there are a couple videos of the setup and Neil testing the R30 set, both on CZcams. The test is an incredible solo in itself. 🙏❤️
good to see you do this one Andrew..his drum tech was Lorne Wheaton....great drummer in his own right...you may be familiar with his work..there's stuff on this channel about him...
Thanks for the info Ken!
LADIES & GENTLEMEN… OUR NEWEST “ RUSH “ FAN …. Mr. ANDREW ROONEY 😁😀😄🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
You catch my Recent Rush drum cover!?
@@AndrewRooneyDrums YUP GOING TO GET TO THAT NEXT. 😉🤙🤙🤙
I am just so very happy to have discovered you and your channel. Some nights, I'm just sittin' there watching Rush videos. This is like the same thing, except with a super cool buddy who's crazy about drums, with the added benefit that your reactions are generally first-time, which is magic! Loved to hear Kiwis say "Eh," I had never really noticed that. Do you by any chance play rugby? Cuz I'm one of the like 128 Americans who care about it. :)
His tech was a guy named lorne wheaton i believe. His set changed a hell of a lot. Almost changed every album. You can see if you watch their tours through the 70s 80s and 90s that the layout is different.
Quintessential RUSH
Though the LIVE IN RIO is their best ever performance imo
One of the best Rush songs!!
I was lucky enough to see Rush 15+ times beginning in the mid-80s. They along with YES are the foundations that shaped my listening to this day... I’ll always love these musicians.
... and thank YOU for doing what you do, Andrew! You and Rick Beato are the top subscriptions in our house 🙏🏻
Thank you Andrew, so glad you are finally learning about Rush. They are also huge in the US as well. I do wish in further reactions to Rush you would give more love to Getty. And his super skills withe the bass. Love you from Texas
Thanks Aaron! Have you watched my more recent Rush vids?
I have a whole Rush playlist now :)
Lorne Wheaton was Neil’s tech for nearly all of Neil’s tenure with Rush.
I was in one of those audiences for that tour! ❤️
Lome "Gump" Wheaton is the drum tech : Neal designed the drum riser so that all the drum and cymbal stands screw in to the riser. it takes as said by loran an 1 and a 1/2 or 2 hours to set up. other than the the make of the drums the set has not changed in the years of use. neal played Tama for years, then switched to DW. the roland kit is set in DW shells
Mr. Peart was never one to stagnate (none of Rush's members were). I 1991 he played with the Buddy Rich Memorial Scholarship Concert in New York City and after felt embarrassed on that outing. Wanting to better himself in 1994 he sought out drum legend Freddie Gruber and relearned how to drum under his tutelage.
2013 Rush was inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame (that's a world level honour). In 1981 Rush was invited to watch the Columbia space shuttle launch, the first rock band honoured with backstage passes to The Kennedy Space Center (NASA even provided real in-flight recordings for "Countdown"). They're the first prog-rock band of space. I don't think you speak for all Kiwis when you say Rush never made it down there.
But loving the channel, and the content.
Definitely one of my favorite rush jams. And it probably came off of my favorite rush album (permanent waves). But hemispheres is right there with permanent waves
Creative control. When they wrote 2112 they achieved control! The record label realized they could sell tons of records with no radio airplay!
My FAVORITE Rush song!
I love their time changes too!
