Rush: Hobbies on the Road

[alfonsogaresp]

me sorprende que geddy tenga las mascaras de los luchadores mexicanos huracán ramirez y atlantis en su colección personal....

[xReinhartx]

It's amazing they find time to do all this and yet still make some of the greatest music of all time.

[linksword]

Every other rock star finds drugs as their hobby...haha. 

[Brad21121]

I wonder how much Geddy had to spend on that baseball collection

[SuperMegaUberGenius]

only my uncle's ball

but to save it for all time

jon anderson would outlife and fill

[aakkoin]

Sorry about the language, but Rush is fucking awesome! Such a healthy, down to earth, unselfish, funny and creative power trio.

[Cincinnatus1869]

damn geddy that is a sweet memorabilia collection ! 

[Cincinnatus1869]

Rush and baseball . two of my absolute favorite things . btw Ged ... Reds in 2012

[dirtydavy]

I think he meant to say it's a 19'th century sport. That collection must be in the hundreds if not a million dollars. Very nice.

[spaghetti1369]

Birds Chirping,Horses neighing,Bones Cracking! LOL...

[MrPivot007]

when my brother was little, he and my dad were at a toronto blue jays game and my brother's seats were right beside geddy lee :D

[shed412]

omg he has a fidel castro baseball!?!?!? I only have a stalin one...

[mikecronis]

So often I ride my Superhawk in Colorado near the RedRocks tours, keeping a sharp eye out for a red BMW K1200 touring bike with a guy with a red helmet (just in case) to give him a "peace, one, one peace" symbol (2112) at a stoplight.

[gregoir]

@mikecronis haha thats awesome! I ride a beemer, use to live near Buffalo, so lol I know how you think! haha wanna see some killer stories, check out the BMWON magazine" june 08 page 52(the drummer...............) it's prly. on the website, haven't checked it in forever-c ya"peace one one peace...cool)!

[mojovilla]

@snakehunter1964 Give it another listen. There's no paradox.

[Xanadude575]

Alex looks like he's dropped about 50 lbs since the "Rush in Rio" DVD. Nicely done Al!

[flintstoner]

I bought a motorcycle 2 years ago before I knew Neil was a enthusist. I took a trip with my Dad to D.C. for rolling thunder. I know that exact feeling of just taking the road least traveled. as long as your headed in the right direction it doesnt matter how you get there. I plan on taking the same route he took from North to Central America as he did in his book.

[snakehunter1964]

kind of a paradox, then, what Neil says at the end about being 'perfectly happy to pass the time of day with somebody at a gas station' and his line in Limelight of 'I can't pretend the stranger is a long-awaited friend'. ;) that's what i love about Neil. he's brilliant!

[snakehunter1964]

the image of Neil at 5:39 is indelibly etched in my mind! i remember it from so long ago. ;)

[paffs]

Anybody know what course Alex is playing here? Looks very like Slaley Hall, Northumbria, UK

[bwhitcomb2011]

Heroin addict...check

Poppy farm in Afghanistan...check

Set for life...check

[marilei123]

You are a major league pitcher!........ OF FUNK !

[c0rnp0p5]

Like a heroin addict owning a farm in Afghanistan...

Oh Alex, you and your jokes. 

[karzawisp]

Where is the place that Neil is riding through, with the mountains in the background?

[crackmunch]

what ? no hookers and blow? bah

[dharmaseed]

'Get out of your own way and let your instinct take over'. Didn't realize Alex was a fan of Zen philisophy!

[whitbyjet65]

Golf as a cure for boredom???? It'd induce boredom in me.

[caincan111]

i remember a shot on a tape album, they seemed using Bow archery ?! can someone confirm ?

[izak98]

21123 views. I covered the three. Perfection.

[sajflaer]

ya geddy,but the cubs? come on man, us Cardinals just won the World Series man!

[kn1471]

they are all awsome. but if i had to join one of them, it would be neil, zooming round on a bike looks like fun!

[74jailbreaker]

They truly are a unique band and i respect them for their individuality and their great music.

[Bassist172112]

The golf cart footage at the beginning kind of reminds me of COPS.... I'm just waiting for him to go out and chase another golfer or something

[fasteddie4145]

luckily they found the balance it takes to survive on the road.....I fear too many spend their time in a bottle or with a needle.....

[therunningmanlives]

of course the canadian has a vest!

[Fabrimon]

05:10 Huracan Ramirez!!!!

[boxfreak007]

O.O That's a lot of baseball stuff Geddy!

[jsilence418]

This was great ,thanks !

[lax8196]

Geddy: I wanted to be a major league pitcher... but that wasnt gonna happen, so I settled with something that was much more practical, u know being the best bassist in the world :]

[Zutaaaable]

I have loved Rush since the first time I heard that elusive song...."The spiritof radio" of course. It boggles the mind to contemplate the effects of their message and energy on so many of us.

[richardgrahamjr]

I remember back in the late 80s when I was a truck driver and Neil Peart rode by on his Bicycle and waved at me and said good music. I was playing Power windows really loud. This was on Rt.23 heading towards Margrateville, NY. They were recording test for echo at bearsville studio in bearsville Ny which is about 15 miles from where I saw neil. That was pretty cool!

[boxfreak007]

@richardgrahamjr That's epic!

[Lasergridable]

@richardgrahamjr You have no idea how jealous I am of you, sir. Hats off!

[goombapuffstool88]

@richardgrahamjr Do you know what song was playing when you saw him?

[snakehunter1964]

@richardgrahamjr wouldn't that actually have been mid 90's for Test For Echo?

[qwedcdedcxzas]

Охуенные они чуваки все-таки.

[Crust218]

These guys are amazing. They have so much to share, to teach. All three of them are such powerful sources of learning and enlightenment. And they're music is awesome too. ;-)

[MrSnuffaluffacus]

You Posted This On My Birthday.

[scotchvelo]

I wanna play around with Alex!

[goofygoat2009]

i love geddy's speaking voice...he's so calm and well spoken

[jinzodude]

hmm i get it now, if i want to spend a day with peart, i have to pretend that i don't know him ^u^

[2112rushfanforever]

Someone should do a whole documentary on Geddy Lee's baseball passion. One, I love baseball, and two, I love Geddy Lee. I think we all win here :)

[kimdefleppardfan]

@2112rushfanforever it would be you suggesting that, but i love baseball so i'd be happy about that:)

[2112rushfanforever]

@kimdefleppardfan See? My idea is genius:)

[kimdefleppardfan]

@2112rushfanforever lolXD

[lionovjudah]

rush is so cool. i like that they are so down to earth. the seem like genuinely nice people.

[bearmare]

Another rockstar golfer. Motley Crue, Def Lepard, Iron Maiden, Alice Cooper... Who knew golf could be so wild?

[DrSuckow]

holy crap Geddy has the Castro ball? that is worth near millions of dollars

[MYacono]

Who was that player from the Montreal Expos Geddy was with?

[dan1216]

4:35 Talk about having a lot of balls

[ov3rcl0ck3d]

Alex owns just one golf club? I own a whole set!

[steve51704000]

@ov3rcl0ck3d - Yep! He only owns one guitar, too.

[caligula19]

PERFECT Narrator Voice! Great pitch,tone and cadence.

[woggathachristie]

saw them again last saturday, awesome show as usual, pity my seat was shit!! had a good day all round really, had some wine beer and cigars with me mates round newcastle and then went to see the greatest band on earth!!!

[woggathachristie]

im going to see them on the time machine tour this saturday(21.5.2011)it'll be my second rush gig, cant wait!!!!!

[DannyDoomPink]

@woggathachristie how was the show? :)

[thebestforlast100]

he reminds me of my ex.

[yahoo9439]

Great musicians, great people, real gentlemen. I love these guys!

[SiameseDream4321]

what song is played while neil is riding

[EntustinMeYourLife]

The song is "Secret Touch" from Vapor Trails.

[barnabas50]

wow this is great and neil has a great voice he could do narration.

[space78511]

ddamn i didnt know geddy loves baseball

[litterboxplayhouse]

...And then Red Barchetta starts in at 8:28

:P

[cjo2112]

Gotta break balls here!!! Geddy makin a mistake is RARE, so I'm seizing it, and besides, the video poster put "sigh" Geddy is so smart" - on the frame just when Geddy called baseball an EIGHTEENTH Century sport. Really Gedd? did Franklin and Washington hit any homers?.....

[IPstixrawesume]

@cjo2112 Dude... Yeah, he made a mistake. So what? We're human.  But yeah, that is pretty funny. XD

[Astrosimi]

@cjo2112 Actually looked it up, baseball was starting up around the 1790s. So yeah, Geddy is still on his game, eh?

[kikme778]

where did you find this video?

[EntustinMeYourLife]

This is part of the bonus material for the Rush: Beyond the Lighted Stage DVD. ^_~

[Zombieman27]

@EntustinMeYourLife where did u get the bonus material?

[MrTempest8]

NEIL

[skimtildeath32]

It's on my bucketlist to meet Rush. God knows it probably won't happen, but if it does, it will seriously make my life complete. They have had such a huge influence on my 17 years on this earth, I can't even explain.

[Biniaris3221]

Im a member at Alex's golf course

[Annonymus121]

@Biniaris3221 Ever met him ?

[Biniaris3221]

@Annonymus121 ya, great guy, very funny

[Annonymus121]

@Biniaris3221 Lucky! lol

[91Tribual]

love theese guys

[5150pearl]

I just love these guys. I wish I could just hang with`em for a bit. I would pay for dinner for sure.

[MINESWEEP2k]

Of course, these hobbies are just a few of the pastimes the band have had over the years. But you know what they say, "All work and no play makes Geddy, Alex and Neil dull boys!" :)

I get the feeling you have a crush on Geddy, Kahme.

[EntustinMeYourLife]

Indeed, you can't have all work and no play. The Rush guys are both musicians and best buds. ^_~

A crush on Geddy? How could you tell? *Giggle*

Yeah, I love Ged. It's no secret. x]

[codyhinkle91]

@EntustinMeYourLife i'm with ya full force geddy is very awesome

[LiveOnQueen]

i didnt like how small geddy's talk was. it should have been longer

hahah btw i love ur comments xD

[EntustinMeYourLife]

I agree. Not to mention I could listen to/watch Geddy speak all night. *Kahme sighs contentedly*

Yes, I had to put in some comments in Geddy's section. I couldn't help myself. x]

Gotta love Geddy fangirls. ^_~

[LiveOnQueen]

@EntustinMeYourLife

yes! i laughed at alll of them xD

ohh btw do u have a facebook or myspace??

[EntustinMeYourLife]

Good to know I cause a few laughs here and there. x]

I do in fact have a MySpace. I'm under the name Kahme Vyina. ^_~

[LiveOnQueen]

@EntustinMeYourLife

okay :D i shall add you! :D

[LiveOnQueen]

@EntustinMeYourLife

okay :D i shall add you! :D

it wants your email :L...

[pdec91]

i pissed myself after 2:20

[goofygoat2009]

alex has this sweet, enduring way of talking. i love his tone and his insight.

[Cheese71]

These kinds of videos are really good for them and us. Its so easy to place them on this pedestal called "Rush" and forget that they are just a bunch of regular guys that have other lives that are not focused on making music. These are good guys.

[EntustinMeYourLife]

You are absolutely right, my friend. The fact that they are all genuine human beings and incredible people is among the million and a half reasons why I admire and respect them. <3

[RushManiac80]

Rush is the best band EVER!!!!!!!

[EntustinMeYourLife]

You've got that right! \m/

No truer words have ever been uttered, my friend. :p

[geddyleesangel101]

You uploaded it! *smiles and jumps up and down*

I would give anything to hang with Geddy in that "baseball room" as you may know, Kahme.

[EntustinMeYourLife]

I did! *Squeals*

I would give anything to hang out with you and Geddy in the baseball room, too. :p

Yes, I do know. *Fantasizes*

[TJH3113]

I can now cross this selection off of my "bonus material" watch list. Thank you it was very interesting and I'm glad you changed your channel's wallpaper; I thought for a moment that they had thrown Alex out of the band. 1st.

[EntustinMeYourLife]

How I love these three gentlemen...and their hobbies. *Sighs*

You are welcome. *Blows a kiss*

I certainly hope that Alex would never be thrown out of the band. Rush is nothing without all three of them. x}

Indeed, you shall always have your "First Comment" medals. ^_~
