Neil Peart News

And now for something just a little bit different.
For a limited time I'll be linking to some auctions that my friend is hosting on eBay. My friend has one of the best Rush collections in the world, and I thought some of you might like to see these items.
To look at the current items, go to Featured Rush Auction Items.

On this page you'll find a catalog of Neil Peart CDs, DVDs, books, drum equipment, and more. Some of the items are out of print now, but I've provided online links where possible.
Click here to go to the Neil Peart catalog page on AndrewOlson.com.

Also, there's a 10-second snippet of "Far Cry." You'll definitely be wanting to hear more...

Neil has been sending out quite a few bulletins lately. You have to be a MySpace member and a "friend" of Neil's (there are 16,928 of them as of today!) to receive these bulletins. But I will periodically post them here, too. (If you're interested, my MySpace profile is at the following URL: http://www.myspace.com/andyodrummer. Feel free to send me a friend request.)

I love this free Monday - more questions answered....Body:
I moderate this site as I can, however, my tour Riding Partner and Director of Security for RUSH for eight years (you can read all about in Roadshow) helps me moderate this site.
So yes - sometimes me, Sometimes Michael AKA SPQR.
Enjoy...---------------------------------------------

Tour dates...Body:
The dates are not confirmed yet, that's why they are not on rush.com. So far it seems the first show will begin in Nashville June 13th...
Don't hold us to it.
Management is still working!---------------------------------------------

Since people are asking...Body:
RUSH, as a band, does not have a page on MySpace, nor do Gedd or Alex. There are many fan sites which is fine, but only one Official site run by Neil and his office.
PS: http://www.myspace.com/rushband is GONE!
Thanks to all!--------------------------------------------

How do you know Neil Peart on MySpace is authentic?
Simple:
Rush.com leads to Neilpeart.net
Neilpeart.net leads to here.
Clear it up? Good I thought so.
Enjoy!

I just posted the second volume of "The Words and Pictures." This volume features three new lyrics sheets from "Permanent Waves." As with the first volume, the original handwritten lyrics are an interesting glimpse into Peart's creative process.
