RUSH Inducted & Performing @ 2013 Ceremony

Hall of fame my ass! Rush should have a planet named after them!

I had never felt like applauding my computer screen before...

Rest In Peace to the greatest Drummer of all time

Some deaths hurt more than others. If you're a Rush fan, and particularly a Canadian Rush fan... and particularly particularly a Toronto Rush fan... Losing Neil Peart feels like losing a part of yourself. Rest in peace, Professor. Your work will continue to teach future drummers and lyricists for generations to come.

Alex is the antithesis of Neil, and Geddy is the glue that fills the void.

The beauty of Alex's speech brought a tear to my eye :')

You just never appreciate how good something is until its gone.

RIP Neil Peart. Condolences to his family, Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson.

I just noticed this: Neil talks about family, "those who remain, and those who are gone." True Rush fans will know what he means.

Thank God these guys came from an era in which they didn't waste their time trying to sell us $1000 sneakers or music streaming. I hope I can get my kids to like their music.

Rush was my brother's favorite band, he idolized them,, and foolishly I always thought it was because we shared the same last name as Neil. Sadly my bro passed away a couple of years ago from a horrible disease caused by a life of hard living at 47. To honor him i took a serious interest in Rush(I was all about punk and rockabilly) and have gained a deep respect for them as musicians, hard workers, consummate professionals and creative intellectuals (how did I not know of their interest in Ayn Rand!?). I'm just.sad I didn't get to bond with my brother through Rush and he didn't get to see this moment in time, at least not on this earth.

Neil's smile at @25:40, after the line "glittering prizes and endless compromises shatter the illusion of integrity" being played to an establishment that ignored them for so long, in great part because they didn't compromise. They got the glittering prize, but they did it their way, and there's no question as to their integrity. And Neil knew it. R.I.P. to an exceptional human being whose words will no doubt be insightful for years to come.

I love how even though Alex is just saying "Blah" you can understand what he's saying.

Honestly, Alex's speech sums up the whole thing. They never really cared if they were inducted in the hall or not; it wasn't ever really a priority for them, they just wanted to make great music. Plus, it's completely in character for Alex and anyone who actually follows the band knows this. All of them gave speeches that fit them exactly: Neil was intellectual and charming, Geddy was short and sweet and Alex was a clow. It all fit for the band perfectly and exactly.

Three guys. Three legends. One of the best induction performances ever.

I love how everyone knew to kick in with the applause after concert hall.

I think Alex's speech was the most beautiful thing I've ever witnessed

Two thoughts occur: 1) Some of these hall of fame inductions are such abject failures or so very filled with tension and people refusing to play that they absolutely suck. This may be the very best, most flawless induction ever. 2) Dave Grohl should have a talk show.

One of the greatest bands of all time. With Neal being the greatest drummer of all time.

Tearing up watching this right now. Neil was such a brilliant man. Rest in peace sir.
