You get an introvert talking about something they're passionate about, they'll talk for days.

Watching and enjoying this in 2026 and they just played the entire Moving Pictures album live in LA with Anika . I think Neil would be proud. His music lives on!

The rarest breed: a genius, a giant, and a gentleman.

Anyone rewatching this after Neil's passing. The professor will be missed

You can tell Neil's mouth is having a hard time keeping up with his mind. This man is a genius.

I could listen to him talk for hours, he is so well spoken and intelligent, it's scary. Not your typical rock star, that's for sure.

Neil Peart's passing was the only musician that caused me to weep.  It still saddens me to this very day.

What rock drummer ever said "bucolic atmosphere"?  What a brilliant man.  RIP Neil Peart.  It's still hard to believe he's not touring with his buds now, in 2026.

It's like sitting down with a passionate history professor, but he happens to be one of the world's best drummers.

Neil is extremely articulate. Pleasure to hear him speak.

Real Rush fans know what a coup this was to get Neil to talk publically at this length about anything.

how can almost 200 people 'dislike' this interview?  be cool or be cast out.

Anyone else find this after Neil's death?  RIP.  Much appreciation and respect our friend.

See kids, you can be an intelligent, articulate, engaging, thoughtful, eloquent, well-read person and still be a kick-ass rock and roll musician. You don't always have to be a stupid, wasted burn-out.

Now I understand why he's called "The Professor".

R.I.P. Neil, thank you for the gifts you've given us.

Without knowing who Neil Peart is, you’d think he was just a music intellectual talking about music theory, not one of the greatest drummers/song writers ever.

The more I listen to interviews with Neil, Geddy and Alex, the more I come to realize that they are/were intellectuals that happened to be in a rock band.

My God the man's vocabulary and how articulate he is is enough to admire about him let alone his amazing drumming capability!!

"Extroverts don't understand introverts." "All of us are the people that high school made us."  Truer words were never spoken.
