  • Great to hear approach and interaction of his ideas. Heard them first in74,...saw live in 76. Great sound! "Moonish" but more like a Chess Game to work through a song. Triplets and Dbl bass drum tripelts make complete sense and get us to Moving Pictures. Tommy Aldrige with Pat Travers is very true as I followed him through the late 70's Nice video!

  • Since 1982 I didnt even know where this was all going. Thanks Neil. My other hero is the other Neil (Neil Armstrong) from the old Apollo days.

  • OK, SO, Neil is my all time greatest hero, since I was 11 and saw Farewells to Kings tour, but GAWD if a picture says a thousand words, his mouth is a million photo albums. Jeez, is there ANY 2 second thought of his that he can't put into a 9 minute analytic monologue? Is there an instinctual bone in his body, or does he really have to speak every single character and beat??? Ok, I'm done. Go Neil, I own 4 of your GOT PEART shirts and all of your DVD's, I just turn the sound off when you speak..

  • He's not human, He's god

  • @ShortyThePitcher He's like the uncontrolled mouth of the drums.

  • When a master speaks, the playing is secondary. Speak master, speak!

  • @drummer4theperish lol.....

  • Less talkey, more playey...

  • @RhysyTomTom read your comment looked up and saw kevin spacey for a second then back to neil woah. and i agree

  • Media Offline NeilPeart... Final Cut Pro FTW!

    Wish I was getting to edit Neil's videos at work....
