This is like going to a family dinner and the brothers are all busting balls. This is why you can stay together as a band d for over 40 yrs.

With most bands at each other's throats (in public or in private) it's nice to see these guys are still a bunch of 14-year-olds.

@@kingbrutusxxvi A big part of that is from the onset of the band when they decided to divide the money equally between all three members which was wise. In that way they were able to avoid the pitfalls and endless bickering about who gets what that tears other great bands apart. They’re also really good guys with a lack of ego trips and ‘major’ substance abuse issues.

These guys were so much more than just a band. I don't know if they understand how much they taught us how to live.

The humor and love between the guys is just so fun to watch again...

Neil feels at ease with his brothers. They’ve played together for four decades!

They're the best of friends and it's the reason for their longevity. You simply must watch the 2013 Rock 'n' Roll Hall Of Fame induction. Alex gives THE best acceptance speech of all time by anyone ever, you won't regret it!

This is always so fun to watch: How many bands are true friends with one another, even after nearly four decades together? Geddy and Alex have been best friends since they were 13 years old, and now they are 70 years old. To be bandmates at that high level of fame and still remain best friends through it all is exceedingly rare. Back when Neil joined the band in 1974, he fit right in with them, and you can really see that here, with the way all three of them interact: Geddy said that in Neil, they found a 'fellow traveler.' Recently, in an interview with Rolling Stone magazine, Alex said that he and Geddy have been privately playing Rush songs together again, just to keep their skill levels up. He has said that he has no desire to tour or to re-form the band. The give and take in their friendship is a rare and beautiful thing: Alex said that if Geddy wanted to go on the road, Alex might agree because he loves Geddy and wants to make him happy. Yet, if that happened, Geddy would also know Alex would be unhappy. So, it strikes me that their friendship is very intuitive and that they respect one another deeply. For a future reaction, I suggest checking out the live version of Freewill from Snakes and Arrows tour.

Dinner among friends. Good to see.

One of the Very Best things Rush (Rash) had was their fantastic humor !! 😆 In many of their great Live DVDs there are always Comedy "Skits" projected on the big screen behind band for the audience to see and laugh to during the concert 👍 😸

So lovely to hear Neil laugh! This was after Neil had moved to California and had married his second wife Carrie. After all the pain he had gone through losing his first daughter and then his first wife. 💔 It is so unfortunate thst he never got to spend much time with his second family before he developed cancer. Their nicknames Geddy Dirk Neil Pratt Alex Lersxt Both Geddy and Alex have wine cellars and are quite knowledgeable about it. Have you seen their RRHOF induction? David Grohl and Taylor Hawkins inducted them and it was pretty funny then their speeches. Alex of course was hilarious! Glad you are feeling better. Could you please send some of that heat to the Canadian prairies. It is flippen cold and rainy here. Cheers

Yes!!

My favorite story about these guys comes from Gene Simmons. Rush used to open for KISS in their early days... and they were all back at the hotel after a show partying it up. You know... the usual. And Gene decided to check on the kids from Rush and see how they were doing. So he goes down the hall and knocks on their door and all 3 of them are in the room, sitting quietly, reading books. And the way Gene tells it you can hear the respect he has for them. He says "What kind of band is Rush? It's Rush."

Neil hadnt seen them for about a year or so, which is why he was so happy. Good friends hanging, again.

You may or may not know that this dinner happened after the Band took a five-year break after the tragedy in Neil's life. It breaks my heart what happened and it's nice to see them come together with such love and respect to talk about moving forward.

Lerxst, Dirk and Pratt. Best friends, almost brothers. The chemistry is there, and you see it on stage. Best band EVER. I miss you.

This is pure magic and I thank you!

Well I'm hungry now. That was great fun. They seem a great bunch of guys.

Really love your RUSH reactions. More please.

​@@redheadedneighbor Please cut ALL your hair off...it's driving us crazy! Thanks. (Btw, I'm using "hair-oids" (not steroids) & they're not producing!.) Damn it!

They are the richest 'regular guys' you will ever see. They are normal fellas that have money and have never changed who they are. They were always friends.

That was great, but dinner with redheadedneighbor is even better!❤😍🥰

This dinner is the secret sauce to Rush. They actually like each other. They are legitimate best friends. They arent out to prive anything. There is no ego. Theyre just a silly group of best friends playing music together.

Loving your RUSH reactions! ❤👩‍🦰

Rush was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2013. When Alex Lifeson gave his speech, It blew me away. 😄 KZread has a couple vids of the Ceremony. They played Tom Sawyer, and The Spirit of Radio. Must see if ya haven't already. "For the words of the profits were written on the studio wall ... Concert hall!"

I saw this many years ago and completely forgot about it. Thank you for bringing back this wonderful memory. I am so sorry that you were never able to see them perform in person. It was always like a family reunion for me. I have been a fan of theirs since I first heard their music back in the mid to later 70s. They will ever be fantastic.

The "Time Stand Still" documentary is a great watch. Also, the two "The Real History of Rush" skits are funny.

The dreaded "knock on the door" i get it 😂 This was entertaining. I first saw them in 1979. They opened by playing "2112" in its entirety. Then ... Geddy says "Good Evening Mobile, how are you" 😂 Magical memory for sure. Thanks for sharing this. Not sure if I've ever seen it.

Yeah… you CANNOT fake chemistry like that. I’ve really enjoyed watching you truly click with the guys. It’s a love affair that will last a lifetime. I’m not just whistling Dixie. 😂

I recall an interview with Gene Simmons (Rush opened for Kiss on tour) and Gene said he'd go to their room after a show and say 'let's go party' and all three of them were sitting back reading a book................

Hope you feel better soon! For another glimpse into their personalities, have a look at their acceptance speeches when they were inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 2013. Cheers from Toronto! 🎤 🎹 🎸 🥁 🎸 🐐 🐐 🐐

You have to know - they are (were) so down to earth - John Rutsey was an animal though.. met them in Canada back before Neil.. (Who is a super intelligent guy) Love that you shared this.. I saw this when it came out...

That was the secret. They were having fun. I believe their writings started like this. They act like they only met recently. They kept that same energy.

Alex: I see you seeing me and you run in to your house. Geddy: I just want to the memory of you. Neil: Only so much love a guy can take that's all. I love their friendly razzing and Neil playing the diplomatic role. :)

Neil’s second wife apparently was a big part of Neil becoming more personable and open in the latter years and it was great to see him so happy, also as a new father. Considering what he went through he definitely deserved it which made it all the more tragic with the circumstances of his passing. RIP Neil, there will never be another quite like him.

Alex aka Lerxst is like this when he's sober as well haha

That's the best part... high or drunk or not... this is Alex being himself. They just extremely real and genuine all the time.

They're such great friends. Their manager also managed Van Halen & drew a contrast with that band by saying the members of VH couldn't even stand to be in same room. Hope you're feeling better!

Love this Red Think about some of the Home Free stuff like this is mainly Tim and his food series and Austin Fishing reaction🤣 God I love your laugh Red 🤩🤩#rush #rushreaction #geddylee #alexlifeson #nealpeart #redheadedneighbor #bestreactor #redsarmy #beautifulcountrygirl

I watched this video hundreds of times, and the crack me up like the first time

This was classic. I recall seeing this like it was last Thursday. Lol

Good news is that Geddy and Alex are playing again, although they did say they sounded like a bad tribute band at first, the bad news is that they are not looking at doing anything seriously aside from the odd cameo performance like the other week billed as L+L they appeared at the Gordon Lightfoot Tribute.

Good morning 😂 Heard Then Rushed over for Red me friend ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Haven't seen this in a while, awesome! You should check out the movie RUSH IN RIO!! It actually played in the Regal Cinema 📽️ where I live. Lots of awesome banter and backstage scenes and all the work that goes in and the interview at the Hotel is funny as HECK!! Great Job and Be Well!! Peace 🕊️☮️♾️😎

Soup, and searching for shoes... 😊

Agreeing with the comments about seeing Beyond the Lighted Stage. If you like documentaries, this film will take you back through the years to their very beginning. They were friends first - their formula for longevity. And the movie is filled with some pretty hilarious things ✌🏻

That was adorable!! Friends!!

Love this ❤

Thanks, I’m crying now!

Think about how amazing it is that Alex and Geddy went to elementary school together in 5th grade, started playing instruments and then met Neil when he was 17. Since then basically been best friends throughout... all the crap of touring, and then the fame and the fortune. They all got married young and had kids young and all the stuff they dealt with and you can tell that they still are best of friends... it's just so amazing. I'm assuming you've already watched the 2-hour documentary about the band from the beginning called Beyond the Lughted Stage. I love that your perspective is what it is and it essentially matches mine. They're just 3 regular guys who made great music together but always had their priorities straight.

Geddy and Alex met in Grade 9 and have been besties ever since....Neil came a bit later but they thought of eachother as brothers....feel better and thanks for another RUSH😁❤️🇨🇦

These guys are hilarious, a side of the band the fans know very well. Alex is great! If you really want to see something later, their acceptance speech (by Alex) to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame that snubbed them for decades, is one of the all time best! It’s in the record books as funniest of all time, up there with Rick Wakeman of YES!

They guys are all such characters! I just love them!

Wine definitely helps. Im an Omniverte. Thats a hard core introvert that has extrovert tendencies. A little wine and I'm the life of the party, any other time I can be found in a book, in the dark or by the fire pit listing to Rush.

As I watch this, it may seem kinda crazy/weird, whatever, it's like Alex, Neil & Geddy are on stage; on how they're sitting at the table. OH, HOW MUCH WE LOVE THESE GUYS !

Headlong flight is one that you should check out.

Greetings from San Diego's resident Rushoholic. This dinner is from the 2009 or 2010 documentary BEYOND THE LUGHTED STAGE. You can watch it in its entirety online or on the original DVD. At this point, Alex and Geddy were still based out of Toronto and hooked up with Neil who had moved to the LA area. I recommend you check out (reaction posting possibility) another subsequent LA off tour LA hook up at their 2013 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame. Watch the introduction by Dave and Taylor from Foo Fighters all the way until Alex finishes his acceptance remarks. They're hilarious and priceless! As hot as it is outside stay out of the sun as much as possible and you stay classy...

Geddy and Alex both have extensive wine cellars and are very knowledgeable about wine.

Geddy is on a book tour, there are some videos of him reading excerpts with Paul Rudd, Alex, Jack Black and others....

Yes, there's one with alex for 50 minutes, the 2 in stage talking I loved their stories and laughed a lot.

"The Garden", Clockwork Angels Tour/ Live in Dallas.. Prepare to be deeply moved 🥰..✌️

You HAVE to read Geddy's book!!!!!

Nice wine choice. Pinot Noir is a nice bridge since they're going from white to red.

Alex and Geddy are both from Toronto and Neil Peert is from Hamilton

If you want more funny stuff from the Boyz, try this... (and there are more) from the 2011 Time Machine tour. The 'Real' History of Rush - "Don't Be Rash" (SOR) kzread.info/dash/bejne/eox_0byxmZTJhbg.html Rush - "The Real History of Rush / Tom Sawyer": Time Machine Tour 2011: Live In Cleveland kzread.info/dash/bejne/iJqr3MRrhtKqj8Y.html

I love pinot noir, but I don't know the brand Geddy requested.

Neil is a brain. His entire body is made of brain material. Geddy is no slouch either so those two connect on a very high intellectual level. However, Alex is a cut up and probably the only person on the planet that could pull Neil out of his shell.

Alexs nickname is "Lurch", with an X.....

Just like you with doorbells and phone calls! And texts! And email! 🤣😁🥺😎

What did Alex do after Rush? Envy Of None. Highly recommend reacting to Look Inside.

Look into "the Boys in Rio" documentary. It's fascinating and hilarious!

I hope you do all their songs. Watch all your videos

You should react to Anthem of of All The Worlds A Stage album it's intense. It's from earlier in their career and is the first live album from RUSH.

Alex does more drinking than talking, you notice that too?

Alex don't kill Pratt it's not good for business. Great friends for decades. The album they wrote was Clockwork Angels

And there's another Canadian power trio that you're missing out on: Freeze The Fall Official video for Glitch. 17 days after uploading this, they were contacted by Canada's largest independent record label, and signed to a promotion and distribution deal. And they're all still in high school.

I think, you have a sennheiser db 250 on your ear.

I have no voice!!!!!!!!

Do the cut movie scene of I Love You Man. I mean I know you're not a man (that I know of) but I love you cause y'all Rush fans!! 💛💙💜💚❤
