Neil Peart on CBC's "Strombo" Now Online

Neil Peart appeared on CBC's Strombo with host George Stroumboulopoulos this past Friday night.  The episode is now online here

In addition, on Thursday Rush tweeted an excerpt of the interview, where Neil discusses...drumming:
"The drummer and lyricist for Rush on how his relationship with drumming has changed over the years - and the evolution of his monster drum solo. 'I get lost in it ... and I do challenge myself,' he says of his largely improvised solo. 'There are no consequences. There's no mistake. If I do something weird, play it twice and it's a new part.'" - "Neil Peart on Drumming", Strombo, June 16, 2011
Previously Strombo posted "Moving Pictures, track-by-track":
"The Rush drummer breaks down the band's classic album Moving Pictures, track-by- track...'That was an important time musically and a great time for the three of us in terms of having a good time and sharing our goals and making music,' he says about the recording of the album, originally released in 1981. 'There was nothing self-indulgent or so-called pretentious about it. It was true boyish enthusiasm that was involved in creating all those things. We were progressing and learning and developing taste at the same time...We still like to play these songs,' says Peart, 'and we're still proud of them.'" - "Neil Peart On 'Moving Pictures': Track-By-Track", Strombo, June 3, 2011
Neil Peart's appearance on Strombo was filmed Monday March 21st.

  1. Neil will not be on the show on Monday. He was originally announced on the listings at the official CBC listings site, but on the actual Strombo website, it says that Monday's episode will be Jay Baruchel. Neil already has or probably will tape his interview with George but it will be viewed at a later date. I've seen this happen a few times where interviews are taped but postponed. Just happened last Friday when George Canyon was supposed to be on , but they made a change at the beginning of the week and the schedule was rejigged as they got Ignatieff on the show.
