Back in 2011, Neil Peart, the legendary drummer of Rush, sat down with George for a rare interview touching on how he's grown as a musician, motorcycle culture and how he deals with bad reviews. They also spoke about Peart's then-new book 'Far and Away,' a travelogue of some of his time on the road.

For a guy who dislikes interviews, he sure gives a great interview.

Such a down to earth human being. A great conversation with a humble and talented artist. Enjoyed the interview.

Neil was such a gracious and likable guy. Just terrific.

How can you not have the utmost respect for him? "I feel we have to earn our audience's respect each time"....that is what makes him, and RUSH in general..so GREAT!

I never get tired of listening to Neil talk. I love his energy and in the end his interviews are the best for a 'shy' guy who does not like to do interviews. He actually had so much to say and was actually very transparent.

Neil is so incredibly smart.

Such an intelligent, articulate and well spoken individual Neil Peart was. You would never have known he was a rock drummer. Truly miss him.

With a heavy heart I would like to say to the family & friends of Neil Peart, you have my sincerest and utmost condolences! What a profound loss this is. The world is a little bit darker now without you in it Neil, you will be missed and never forgotten. 😢

Of all bands lyrics to create a visual story in ones mind, Neil Peart's has always been the strongest to me. Great stuff, always takes me away.

As he mentions being a warm-up act... It was 1976 when the headliner the Atlanta Rhythm Section canceled and the warm-up act who I've never heard of before... RUSH took the show at the Hammond Civic center in Northwest Indiana. Needless to say I bought a RUSH t-shirt that night... 34 shows and four decades later, The excitement and virtuosity they always brought live was the most consistent thing throughout my life. Well done indeed Professor!
