In 400 years, do you think people will know the band Rush? Unlike JSB who is

Yes :) .. If anything, because of Neil Peart.

Neil Peart is arguably the greatest drummer ever.

Bands aren't generally known, or remembered, for their drummers.

It's the lead vocalist or lead guitarist, almost always.

Sorry, never heard of him.

Drummers use a metronome. A metronome uses Neil Peart.

I take it Neil is the drummer of Rush? I wonder if he's DM's mentor?

Yes, and also wrote most of their lyrics. He passed away in 2020. RIP.

Primary influence, definitely. Huge fan.

Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson are both great! A Farewell to Kings was one
of my favorites.

Best regards!

I had side-stage arena tickets to see Rush [and Nash the Sash
combo show] many years ago. I thought those seats would suck.
But they turned out to be quite fantastic cuz I got an
interesting perspective of Neil Peart at work at the drums that
would not be visible from the front.

Yes, I've had similar experience, and agree. Honestly in some settings
I think I would prefer that seating.

I never did see Rush, but they were never one of my favorites anyway. I
do like some of their music, but not the majority of it, and not even
exactly sure why. Might be the voice tone I guess.
