Lets get one thing straight : there are NO clunkers with RUSH...even their so called "bad ones" are still a joy to hear you know why?? because they were genuine , honest in what they did ... rip Neil Peart...
While there were a few ok songs on it, Caress of Steel was mostly clunker.
@@theatremusician wrong...you need to listen to Caress Of Steel again...its classic RUSH all day long..
Tim Sears sorry, not gonna waste my limited hours upon this Earth listening to music i don’t like.
@@theatremusician who said you HAD to listen to it?? troll on..
Tim Sears perhaps you’re unfamiliar with the English language and specifically, the definition of “troll”. I was giving an opinion. Maybe the internet isn’t really a good fit for your delicate sensibilities.
Neil would cringe to hear it, but he unquestionably lives on because of the legacy of Rush's music. By no means disposable, his lyrics are timeless and universal and I can't imagine a time when they won't be pertinent or impactful. RIP, Professor.
The genius really shines on songs like Bravado Time Stands Still, and the Garden legendary writing
The Power windows era RUSH, the soundtrack of my life
All eyes of rush, soundtrack of my life lol
Love the way the Interviewer Glazes over while Neil is Riffing about his metaphors.
I wasn't a huge fan of Roll the Bones, but when I saw Ghost of a Chance live with those lasers slowly spinning.......WOW. That was my first Rush concert!
velveetaslingshot I remember that moment vividly. “... in a state of grace.”
Ghost of a Chance is easily one of their best songs!
Yeah I agree that it wasn’t my favorite Album from Rush but wow what an awesome show! Loved his Ludwig drums and the sound that came out! It was a huge sound. Not like the DW’s he later came to play! I love it all though
I really liked Rush's early Atlantic records a lot - Presto, Roll the Bones, Counterparts - all fantastic music.
What a true genius Neil Peart really is
+Andrew Miller He's deeper that a mutha, isn't he?!!
And that's why I love the music! They talk about things and explained in song at a level that makes it all interesting. Nobody else seems to be doing that. The music is also intelligent. And I find it interesting as well. But Neil? lol. That ol boy is a smart cookie!
He's so private, but he has so much to say
Listening to Neil speak blows my mind. Sorely missed 🙏🏻
"Unlike a lot of other rock and roll bands, the lyrics are very intelligent in a rush song"
Quote of a lifetime
07:30 Rush, like Bowie, Neil Young and others refused to ever become a nostalgia act. If you ever read a Rush interview in 1993, they weren't talking about "Tommy" or "Led Zeppelin IV." They were talking about the latest albums from Soundgarden or the Smashing Pumpkins. Neil to his dying day was aware of every great NEW musician or NEW album that was out. They weren't afraid of being good music listeners. It's why their style radically changed after "Hemispheres." They would've considered themselves to dinosaurs if they kept doing music like that. It wasn't current to be doing 20 minute songs. At the same time, they weren't going to be influenced by disposable music either. Every generation has great stuff.
On one of his last blog posts on his website he briefly mentions Bring Me The Horizon while rambling about what name he'd choose for what would become his last book. That's absolutely insane.
and then by 2015 even Neil was like "fuck it, today's music sucks... I'm done"
I'll never forget days after 9/11 and I went down by Trinity to see the firefighters,welder,rescue workers,etc go into ground zero and seeing people from around the world handing them flowers and hugs and other rescues workers from UK,AUS,GER (so many to list) helping. but through all that hearing "Bravado" playing from somewhere and that song really summed up how a lot were feeling.That song written in 1990 and still resonates today as it did on that horrible day n September 2001
Just watched this for the first time. Yep, she looks way out of her depth trying to keep up with Neil's explanation ( I bet she was probably thinking about what to eat for dinner, judging by her glazed over expression) ! Neil, you were the sharpest knife in the drawer. A truly beautiful man, and a brilliant mind. Heavens, you are sorely missed. There is so much love for you, and Geddy and Alex, of course .
haha no thats Denise Donlon she is a Toronto icon. Smart business woman and loved by Canadians. One of the coolest people in the industry.
this guys a rock drummer?
sounds like a philosopy professor
a really good one
That's part of why his nickname is "The Professor". ;-)
roman14032
A really good philosophy professor? In this interview he sounds like he's in the manic stage of a manic depression cycle.. There's a fine line between Genius and insanity ... He's clearly crossed that line !
@@toobmaniac Other video interviews show him in very similar moods. He is prolific in his speech and in his writing. He is a genius and no doubt. I just wonder if the average Rush fan would be comfortable around him for an extended period? I will admit that l might not. Geddy and Alex seem more amiable. Neil is intense and doesn't suffer fools lightly. How do I know? His lyrics, his interviews, his books, the testimonies of other musicians(I.E. the documentary "Beyond the lighted stage".) Still he deserves high respect. This band would not be what it is minus Neil Peart.
@@ancientveritas481 Neil can't pretend a stranger is a long awaited friend!
@@YAMISOOLD2009 Nice call!
Neil, your greatly missed. This song also sings to me, as I have a child with autism. She has never spoken a word in her 18 years, but me and my wife, rolled the bones. RIP Neil 🙏❤💕💖💋😌
Alex: We went to a lot of the good parts there
Geddy: What are the good, never mind
You can tell they had an almost family like relationship. I miss them so much. RIP Neil.
Neil....such a philosopher in everything he does and says. I think his take on Pop music @ 6:28 - 8:00 is fantastic. A rare intellect.
i can listen to the professor talk all day
If only.... 😭 If only he could still be here with us. He could've read out a phone directory and, to me, it would've been enlightening! Saddened beyond words can say.
Same. I wouldn't call him a genius, but he was definitely aware of the human condition and could express it quite eloquently.
@@qwipperty Among rock musicians, he was a genius. Do you think Tommy Lee or Peter Criss could hold a conversation like Neil?
Every interview with Neil is a lesson in deep thinking. His mind and thought processes were just on a plain higher than most. Sure miss his talents. I am reading his book Ghost Rider now... so far, he has done an excellent job of not focusing too much on his grief with losing first, his 19 year old daughter, then her mother and his wife, some 8 months later, and writing about the journey back to his life. For anyone who has suffered crushing losses, this should be on your reading list.
God.... I miss them so.much
OMG the look on the interviewer's face when Neil stopped to take a breath! I'm pretty sure I had the same look on my face LOL.
Neil is so smart. I've seen him on political round tables, totally holding his own with journalists and politicians.
He needs to receive an honorary Doctorate at a major Canadian University!!!
That..... and That;
This..... and Thus;
Spit...... and Cuss;
Everybody Smoke Pot.....
Everybody Smoke Pot.....
5:41 The blank look on her face is hilarious. I'm sure she has no clue what Neil has been saying.
The reporter's expression is priceless! 😕😖😵🤯 "Ahhh... yeah." 😆😅😂 I miss you, Neil 😢💔
Ghost of a chance🤯. My #2 favorite from them.
Love this interview/documentary on the RTB video and era. Scott..thank you so much for posting!
RUSH are TIMELESS! 'Roll The Bones' is masterful.
Neil is so enthralling
God I love the Roll the Bones drum kit.
Ludwigs if im correct?
Yupppp
So much better then the DWs
@@jacko2049 Agreed
You, Mr. Peart, are one hell of a class act and this world suffers without you in it..
The interviewer-lady was speechless while Neil spoke. He's quite intelligent.
A true genius...Neil Peart,The Professor.
My introduction to Rush was in fact the Roll the Bones album in 1992. It was rich, colourful and the artwork was soooo sophisticated. I immediately felt like they were nerdy.
This is so awesome! Roll the Bones is one of my favorite albums by them. Thanks for the upload!
great interview with Neil Peart, for someone who has been a soundtrack to so many lives. An inspiration to me not just in music, but his words gave me a feeling that some else 'understood' and cared about our human condition, our world and our inevitable conflicts
The Roll The Bones Tour was amazing and probably my Favorite. Went to every show performed in NJ NY & LI
I'm working at a customers house. Customers kid asks me if I wanna hear any tunes, I say what ya got? He says the new Rush. Hell yeah! First time I heard it on someone's roof summer '91.
Peart is the coolest, most lovable nerd in show biz.
Neil Peart was a genious beyond compare!!! Great influence in my life !! Rest well Neil😌😌😌💕💕💕
Mr Peart seems to be very knowledgeable and speaks quite eloquently
Thanks for sharing this Scott.
Listening to Neil is like listening to an old wise wizard
Neil Peart was a true genius. What a truly incredible man
RIP Neil. Left too soon on 1/7/2020
HOLY SHIT the interviewer,and that kid actually said "aboot"
Really, I think we say it more as "aboat."
They are so damn cool. They way they interact w the director - as though they were just background. Love them.
before the director stepped in Neils snare fucking killed!! raw!! power!!
They still looked like kids back then!
these guys were in their late 30s at the time... doesn't seem that long ago. Time flies
lol!!! interviewers face at 5:41 very reminicent of patrick from spongebob, neils eloquent dialogue and the way he expresses his words are pure art in itself aswell as being a truely remarkeable person he just fucks up the heads of anyone near enough to catch speed, way on top dude!!
***** Really dude. And that look on the interviewers face is golden. He's all talking about the evolution of a thought that came to be the whole theme of the album and she's like, "Bacon makes me gassy".
AnubisXII lol...@ bacon makes me gassy....classic☺
yeah, she probably didn't get the memo. "don't ask the drummer anything deep. especially if you have to pee any time soon. in fact, avoid asking him anything...."
I think she was bright enough to get it. That was the face of a person listening intently. Haha.
Neil pretending as if Rush music isn't timeless and that it won't affect his own immortality - hilarious. He knows the opposite is true. He's simply too damn humble and polite to announce that he knows damn well that our great grandkids will be playing Rush for their grandkids in 2112.
Noel Peart: Best drummer in the world and one of the most intelligent lyricists ever.
Good old Noel.
Bahahahahaha when neil is explaining the album the interivewer is like,wtf did i just ask ! :O
Either that, or she was mesmerized by what he was saying
Wow. Amazing. This was uploaded exactly 8 years before Neil passed and his thoughts on one's work surviving past oneself. ! Deep, man.
You're insane! 'Roll The Bones' is a rock masterpiece, with some great songwriting!
5:42 Interviewer = Mind Blown.
The actual songwriting on RTB is excellent. What I think makes it a divisive album among fans is the rather dated, flat production, some dated keyboard sounds/guitar tones/bass tones...live, those songs really come alive. Also, Neil Peart was at a rather low point lyrically at times in the late 80s and early 90s (not always, but at times). The vocal harmonies and cohesive of the tunes are actually in themselves very impressive, IMO.
John Doe Hold your fire has AMAZING vocal and guitar work. I almost only listen to the era you listed.
losingitrush I agree about the vocals especially. Geddy really came into his own as a vocalist during the really synth heavy years. "A SHOW OF HANDS" shows that especially.
+John Doe Power Windows had his best singing I think...
Yeah, Geddy's voice was great on all the synth heavier albums. I love Power Windows.
Marathon personally I think is his best vocal performance!
Damn is Neil smart and coherent and articulate and...Wow!
I was thinking about how morbid and saddening it was that Neil was talking about the origin of the turn it up metaphor, and how wild cards effect our life, considering what would happen to him not to long after this
Deep down he's thinking "my god! get me away from these crowds"
@@kai326 It sounds like you've read "Ghost Rider".
@@ancientveritas481 I have, I'm about to finish it on my second go. I love it so much, I should probably get his other books when I have the chance
@@kai326 You have re-ignited my interest in that book. Have read it in the distant past. Going to the library today to search for it and his other about cycling thru Africa.
That video producer is rockin a majestic skullet
5:41 YOU JUST GOT NEIL PEARTED!!!
Nice upload!
awesome!!!
I was at one of the concerts at Maple Leaf Gardens for the Roll the Bones Tour... It was an incredible night to see my favourite band RUSH... But also finding out just recently that this was the only time The Tragically Hip played on the same venue as Rush... RIP as the cliche goes, to Gordon Downey...
As fans we can proudly say Rush grew up with us too.
She is an awesome interviewer.
This was the first song I heard from Rush. It was OK, since at the time I had already listened to most of Yes and Emerson Lake and Palmer, Metallica, Guns and Roses, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, etc.
It wasn't until I heard 2112 that I finally became a fan. It was a mere chance. Otherwise I would have missed a great band. Now I'm gonna see them on the 17th live.
Drumavid Checkupz 2112 was indeed a gateway album into the world of rush. I was fortunate enough to here it in 1976 and it blew me away!
Neil is such a nerd! I love it.
What a shallow and stupid word/adjective to define such great mind.
@@DavidSiciliano2100 this guy waited 7 years for your answer
Truly, an awesome, well mannered and intelligent band.
The spinning kit looks so much fun.
ahhhh the days of much music 🇨🇦
Hi Neil …. “ what time is it ?
Wellll “ Let me tell you …….
Amazing mind to be missed .
Story telling extraordinaire .
Heres the interesting about how rush wrote songs. For neil, face up really was the primary song on this album. That song inspired the rest of the lyrics, its the first one he wrote, it created a loose theme for the album, and sort of represents most of the other songs. It essentially was the title track.
Then geddy and alex got to it and it became basically a throwaway filler song, and roll the bones became the title track because it has a cooler title.
Had geddy been the lyricist things like this would turned out differently. Another example is lock and key from hold your fire. That really is the title track of that album. Its the first lyrics neil wrote for it, and the instinct aspect of it was the theme of that album. But geddy and alex made it a filler track.
Alex Lifeson looks like a lion tamer in this interview
Siegfried and Lee
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO
If that had been suggested to Alex at the time, I've little doubt he would have done some screamingly funny impression.
Before he lost all his hair! Male pattern baldness is a bitch!
😂😂😂
RTB isn't my favorite sound of Rush, but thematically I love it. The concept of chance and happenstance in modern life is great to explore.
alex talking about 35, 40, 45 year old fans as the older ones, last Rush gig i went to , everyone was my age and i'm 60
1:25-1:35 MY GEDDYBOY’S GIGGLE IS EVERYTHING ♥️♥️♥️
it was nice to see Geddy Lee letting people see his face with the newer looks...
why the fuck is everyone saying Roll The Bones is bad musically? Its not their greatest sound but c'mon, Bravado, Wheres My Thing, The Big Wheel...
Freedom FROM Religion Exactly.
Was the back to basics album
+Freedom FROM Religion Heresy and Neurotica are great songs as well!
+verve92 Yeah, that was a turning point. I kind of wanted them to keep going the direction they seemed to be heading. But Alex and Neil apparently didn't care for all the keyboards and electronics. I loved it! I'm not knocking Roll the Bones, It fit into my life perfectly!
+Freedom FROM Religion LOL - Get any group of Rush fans together and a huge argument will result over which are the best albums and which aren't.
For me, Grace under Pressure is my absolutely favourite. and if you disagree, you are wrong :P
The album has great songs.
I think the album only suffers from the track order.
The feel from song to song is really important.
I messed around with the running order and found that the following works better...
Dreamline
The Big Wheel
Where's My Thing?
You Bet Your Life
Face Up
Roll The Bones
Neurotica
Heresy
Ghost Of A Chance
Bravado
Jason Lefler I like that.
Jason Lefler doesn’t mean shit. Still 5 songs under par
@@hermanhelmich I'd say 3 for sure. You bet your life, face up, and Neurotica. Neurotica is one of the worst they ever did. Not quite as bad as Dog Years, but close.
The answer to how did 3 guys stay together for 40+ years says it all at 02:32. (All 3 of them & their response to how Director Chris Painters request for the video) RESPECT
Great post! Haven't seen this before. Much appreciated.
Cool stuff here
Can you imagine having had a conversation with Neil like that… then imagine that your stoned out your mind. 😮
gracias (thanks)
muy buena rareza. saludos desde argentina
dude, this is cool
"The good parts!" :D brilliant!
shaz says i love this album its my third fave rush album
i think counter parts is their best post 70's album
CP was incredible.
Moving Pictures
I remember thinking Roll the Bones might be their last tour.......lol. Damn I’m old.
I am the guy with the long hair the director tells to get out of the way at 2:17. I threw the bones that are up in the air in the music video. I also put together Neil Peart's drumkit which was in 4 separate sections that locked together.
I believe Neil Only ever had 2 drum-techs.
Genius
RTB was '91/'92 years, '93/'94 was Counterparts.
Neil mentions the card game EUCHRE! Popular here in Indiana!
damn...RIP NEIL PEART....damn...
Most rock bands- sing about sex drugs & rock & roll.
Rush- contemplating the mysteries of life, this universe, our existence, our choices & life journey.
They are cut from a different cloth.
2:22 The first and only time I’ve ever heard Neil play a Latin groove when riffin’ on his kit!
… although I do not believe he has ever incorporated this genre of music on a Rush album…
5:42 - "What did I get myself into? I'm used to interviewing mindless rockers; I wasn't prepared for this!"
look at that drummer ! he's sittin' and spinning ~
Wow, very cool video! Where did you find this?
- Lovin' Rush My Whole Life -:)
I like this track, not the greatest of their albums but this song gets me every time, its catchy.
Just curious to know how much stuff is in the rush vault. Hopefully some day it will have an official release on Blu Ray and DVD.
