These Canadians are the nicest people, in many legendary Rock band there were conflicts between bandmates that lead to fights or even worse, separations, Lennon/Mcartney, Slash/Axl....., But Rush, beside their amazingly individual talent, they respect each other so much, you can feel how Geddy still wanna tour and make records but he respects Neil and Alex s decision and they are still friends and hang out with each other even thou they have different opinions about business, and I love how they didn't let that impact on their friendship. RUSH IS SO COOL

I've seen both of them in a ton of interviews and they are as humble and normal as two people could be.

Neal isn't there because he NEVER does publicity. Now, to the question of WHY he never does publicity? I have a theory: Long ago Neal changed the way we looked at the rock drummer. After the 2112 record we fans of hard rock made Neal the GOAT. The GREATEST OF ALL TIME. This title bestowed upon him was well deserved ; as most of us thought about hard rock drumming differently after it was released. His strength, style, fills, lyrics and showmanship provided a template for all of us who came after. He became a God-like hero to those of us who needed one. He was, and still is to a certain extent, literally worshiped. And therein lies the rub ; How could he balance this unbridled love with the fact that he's just a man? Flesh and blood and bone and skin and bad breath? The answer? He couldn't. So one day, and this is just my belief after watching and listening to him for over 40 years now, he just said enough. No more publicity....No more meet and greets.....No more of putting himself in the position of feeling uncomfortable because of another's fawning behaviors. So he just stopped and told Alex and Getty that they had to do it themselves. They both agreed, partially because they're both hilarious fools who love to talk shit and laugh, but mostly out of their love and respect of him....And also because they think he's the GOAT, too. LOL And, for the record, Neal is a wonderful, kind and giving man. If you ever run into him at a Starbucks or a Safeway just smile and nod. If a conversation organically begins then chat him up about the weather or your car or your job.....just don't tell him how much you admire him because, quite frankly, you really shouldn't tell a complete stranger these things. And remember ; Hes not a GOAT or a God.....he's a man, just like you. LG

Been an avid fan of these gentlemen since they first came to my hometown (Cleveland) back in '74. Have always admired their courage to stick by their standards and write and perform what gives them joy. I know they're not super public people, especially Mr. Peart; but after all these years I would love to just meet them briefly and thank them for the DECADES of gorgeous music and lyrics they have given the world. What an inspiration for so many!

1st of all my condolences to Neil's Family and friends Geddy n Alex and the fans but legends never die. 2ndly I was at the Texas Jam only for Rush who was the main attraction , tho everyone was there...Ozzie...38 Sepecial ...all the way to Brain Adams (they opened for Rush) lol and I Don't remember Alex falling down at all!? Maybe I thought it was part of the act? But I do remember once Alex pulled back really quick and so his guitar became unplugged ( in Dallas Reunion Arena, I think) but Geddy n Neil covered so well that you couldn't hear or tell anything was wrong at all! This is how Fantastic Rush is at the live shows. That prompted me to invent a new plug for guitars ... I love natural science too but La vila strangiato spl? is also awesome and 2112 and all albums after that. I love it when they tell their favorite songs cuz they are mine too. In fact beside Rush I've been to Pink Floyd concerts.. Geddy was visibly upset about knowing they'll never go on the road again... Sorry for a long post....Thanks for sharing.

ColdfacekillerJr KonekoToujouFan As Jazz Fusion record it ranks as a masterpiece. Give that album another listen. The drum solo on Mission is fantastic. There is some great bass work on that album but you have to listen for it. Get over the "Oh my God it's keyboards and strings and a choir...lame!" If Rush kept playing what everyone wanted them to play every album of theirs would've sounded like their first album. And that gets damn boring after awhile. There would be no: Subdivisions, 2112, Cygnus X-1, Distant Early Warning or Xanadu.

Alex cant help but cutup. Favorite solo is in Immigrant Song- which has no solo.😂

I can remember when I was a teenager in the late seventies, being exposed to Rush for the first time. They became my band, and me and a group of friends followed them religiously and went to their concerts every time they were in town. But I had to continuously defend Geddy's voice and the band with other friends who preferred bands like Zeppelin, Floyd and Sabbath. I wanted to put Rush on the map! Magazines like Cream and Rolling Stone would barely cover them, but when they did, I would buy the mags and to this day, have all the clippings on Rush from these magazines. It was a glorious time! The first song I ever heard by Rush was a "Farewell To Kings" and when I heard the first lyrics "When they turn the pages of History...." I was hooked!

Alex is such a character

Legendary band, hands down

I remember watching this when it first came out after the 40 tour. I am writing this now 12/19/17, and it hurts to listen to Geddy talk about getting together after the holidays and possibly write some music. I think they already knew Neil wasn't going to be playing anymore, just didn't want to hurt the fans' feelings. I still find myself thinking about "No More RUSH" from time to time... They gave so much over the years...I suppose it's just time. PS...remember Geddy doing the "Take Off" song 100 years (OK..1981)? I was just showing my kids the song, and Bob and Doug's 12 days of Christmas. Good stuff...eh? Like, ok...I'm done now.

I thought they stopped touring because Geddy can't sing anymore. That R40 concert video is tough to listen to.

I used to line up in horrible winter weather to get Rush tickets for their New Years eve shows at Maple Leaf Gardens. They deserve to own the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. However, why are The Guess Who not in there also. That is a crime.

I'll never forget the first time I heard Rush . . . . . . What was I talking about ? Seriously though, Rush will always be near and dear to mine ear.

Rush actually give great interviews.

Two guys best friends since childhood and took over the rock music world behind the curtains.

Great guys, great musicians, great music.........

Thx for all the great music!

Geddy: "We can talk aboot that." I love that Canadian accident. I noticed he makes an effort to say "abowt" in many interviews but sometimes his accent slips through.

Imagine answering a question will you tour again knowing your best friend ain't gonna make it ,just gotta love these guys

Love these guys.

I never get tired of them.

The Immigrant Song doesn’t have a solo! Ha Ha you are so funny, Alex!

Great group of guys!!!!

So much respect for these gentlemen!!!

Look at those faces aww swak. My heart goes out to you two during this time of loss. It was just so spectacular to witness all three of you in stage. Bless you . I adore the band so much. Liz

I hope they do play a little more. I don't blame them for not touring, but some jamming or a few studio tracks would be awesome. rush has been one of my favorites since fly by night came out.

Hi guys. I've been listening to your music since 78. You've been guiding me and inspiring me and you still are. BTW Alex, my fave song is Natural Science too.

I love this band so much, such wonderful... and hilarious... human beings. R.I.P. Neil

It's encouraging to see Geddy so gung-ho about getting back to work. I love his attitude and work ethic. Favorite non-Rush guitar solo? Hard to narrow that down to 25, much less 1 but I'm pretty sure Eric Johnson is in there. Most talented member of Rush? I would have to say they are all pretty equal. In the groove of the song, Geddy holds it together best. For moments of shining during bridges and changes Neil is the focus. For solos, even with Geddy's and Neil's awesome lead/rhythm parts Alex still owns it. So they all have their moments. But I mean, listen to the "Freewill" solo. Tell me all three are not just tearing it up like nobody's business. So it all depends. Anyway, I really hope Al and Ged start writing this month and with or without Neil and record another album. I love Neil to death and he's always one of my favorite humans alive, but these are twilight years and I don't want to see Geddy and Alex held back because Neil is losing interest. Find another drummer (pick me, pick me!) and start another band if necessary. Better to have 2/3rds of Rush continue than no activity at all. So let Neil take it easy and move on. I have to say this as much as I love Neil. He has served Rush wonderfully, but why should Al and Ged stop because he lost inspiration to continue the legacy? RUSH FOREVER.

I'd be clamoring for Alex's spot too if he was the one losing interest btw. No disrespect intended. Unbeknownst to him, Alex had a Huge part in teaching me how to play. So much so that I had to stop listening to Rush for years so I could develop my own style.

+DonnyOsmosis I did think it a little ironic when I saw Rolling Stone pop up. But I enjoyed the interview very much anyway.

Great band

I remember the first interview with Alex and Teddy I ever heard. Around my 13th birthday, in '83, I fell hard in love with music and playing guitar, and Rush quickly became my first favorite band. In '85, when Power Windows came out, they did a promotional appearance on, I think, Rockline, and I heard them speak for the first time. It was such a delight to learn that they were so friendly, funny and down-to-earth. I recorded that interview on my boom box and listened to it several times.

Would love to see Geddy and Alex jamming with Page and JP Jones.

Ugh. Paige is a mess. His playing is pretty sub par these days, his brain is literally fried.

One of Alex's favorite guitar solos is in the Immigrant Song? There is no solo in (the original studio release) that song. Always a jokster, that Alex.

I love Cattle Decapitation, Pig Destroyer, Napalm Death and all those hardcore metal bands, but Rush was the band that started it all for me when I was 9 years old and I still love them to death. I love you Rush

I love these men. Still so down to earth. Considering who they are and what they’ve accomplished. Rush rules. RIP NEP.

Two out of three of my favorite and in my opinion greatest, most innovative musicians and performers of all time! ;p Thank you very much! No need to thank me! I just showed up to the party. Cheers!

This makes me smile!!! 😊

I hate to be selfish even now, after Neil's passing, but 3:13 hit me like lightening bolt. So glad I got to see them live years ago.

I always love these interviews! Please come back to Chicago for a show guys! We LOVE you here!

+Liberty Wagon Saw them in June 2004 at the tweeter center. First and last time I've ever seen them in concert. I've been a fan since the early 80,s. I hope they tour one more time even if it's not for 2, 3 or 4 years if they can do one more tour before they call it quits I would make sure I went to the show. I regret not going to any of their shows in the 90's, that would have been cool. I love "test for echo". But then again i love all their albums.

Man seems like Geddy can't stand the idea of not continuing to play music. Understandably so as music is the single greatest thing the human race has ever conceived! Hope he gets another opportunity to do what he loves with the band he loves

On one hand, I'd love to see them play music again. On the other hand, Clockwork Angels was such an amazing album that I would perfectly happy if that was their last. Sometimes it's better to go out with a bang.

@@mikepuppetz9 As a lifelong Rush fan, totally concur that Clockwork is one of their best. Maybe top 5 album. And i just relistened to it recently (already thought that) and it was reconfirmed.
