September 23rd saw the debut of a new documentary celebrating the late Rush drumming great, Neil Peart. Titled ‘Neil Peart: No One’s Disciple‘, Banger Films, who previously worked with the band on ‘Rush: Beyond The Lighted Stage‘, oversaw this new look back at the highly influential percussionist.
Initially airing on CBC and CBC Gem, the first 10 minutes of that film have newly been made available via YouTube. Furthermore, it was noted by the aforementioned Canadian broadcaster that the full documentary will soon be landing on YouTube as well.
As part of celebrating the life and legacy of Peart, that film also found a number of prominent Peart fans also get behind the kit with Rush‘s surviving members, vocalist/bassist/keyboardist Geddy Lee and guitarist Alex Lifeson. Among them were Tool‘s Danny Carey, Red Hot Chili Peppers‘ Chad Smith, The Police‘s Stewart Copeland and Porcupine Tree‘s Gavin Harrison
Rush reunited onstage earlier in the year and continue to tour with drummer Anika Nilles sitting behind the kit in place of Peart. That run will continue on into the new year
