The genuine respect that Dave and Taylor show here is astonishing! Rush totally deserved this long overdue recognition.
RIP Neil Peart…..
RIP Taylor Hawkins…..

This band deserved every bit of that hype speech. A shame it took this long but at least it happened.

Learning of Taylor Hawkins passing, I came back to watch his and Daves induction speech of Rush into the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame. Why? Because the first time I saw this video, what stood out to me was how genuinely excited Taylor was. Watch the part where Dave is calling out all of Rush’s albums and look at Taylor‘s reaction. He’s no longer a respected and successful rock ‘n’ roll drummer, he’s a 14-year-old kid watching one of his favorite bands get the recognition they deserve. To me this clearly demonstrates Taylor‘s genuine love of music. Rest in peace Taylor.

anyone else watching this for the 30,000th time? 2019 october here.

RIP Neil Peart. My heart sank when I saw the news.

“And, of course F’ing Neil Peart.”   Neil, I so badly wanted to play drums as a teenager. My mother would not allow me to because “girls don’t play drums.”  Watching and listening to you play gave me great joy.  I am so glad that your music will live on.  I hope to have a granddaughter one day.  I will start her out watching you play drums and listening to your music, in hopes that she feels as inspired as I did watching you play.  So many fans are crushed today at loosing someone that we didn’t know personally, but felt we did. Your music was the soundtrack to our teens, oh Hell, at 55, there is nothing better than being on a road trip and a Rush song comes on and getting to air drum with Neil Peart.  R.I.P.  Old friend.

One of my fav things about Rush is the clear cut friendship between the three of them...

Massively underrated artists imho

influence? dude, every great musician of the past 30 years WORSHIPS at the temple rush built

My cousin Mark, a gifted drummer died of leukemia at 19 years old in 1981.  I can still hear him and his band playing Rush music.  Thank you for the memories.  🥁

Watched 100’s of times.  Never be another band like this ever. RIP Neil.

Dave Grohl did such a superb introduction for such a phenomenal rock band, such as  "Rush!" I like the beginning clip photos of when "Rush" started. I bow down to them. They  really deserve it! I've always loved, and still do, appreciate them though out all their years.

As a Rush fan, I found this induction speech touching and appropriate.

Came here immediately after I heard the news 😢

R.I.P Taylor Hawkins. He was a fan as much as he was a musician. Neil’s lyrics felt like my journal I never wrote. Taylor felt like my friend I never met.

At one point Rush became too good for the Rock and Roll hall of fame tbh.

Dave Grohl can hype the fuck out of a crowd

Taylor is jumping around with glee like a child in a candy store. What a cool, honest, and enthusiastic guy he was.

Rush is the reason I didn't kill myself. A friend of mine introduced me to their music years ago, and said "How can you be depressed while listening to such awesome, happy music?". He was right. I listened to Rush nonstop, and Geddy and Alex became my musical muses for compositions. I don't play bass anymore, but I'm still alive.

By virtue of this band alone, Canada has contributed more to the genre than anyone, save the US and UK.
