Rush - A Farewell to Kings (Chronicles)

When they turn the pages of history
When these days have passed long ago
Will they read of us with sadness
For the seeds that we let grow?
We turned our gaze
From the castles in the distance
Eyes cast down
On the path of least resistance

Cities full of hatred, fear and lies
Withered hearts and cruel, tormented eyes
Scheming demons dressed in kingly guise
Beating down the multitude and
Scoffing at the wise

The hypocrites are slandering
The sacred halls of Truth
Ancient nobles showering
Their bitterness on youth
Can't we find the minds that made us strong?
Can't we learn to feel what's right
And what's wrong?
What's wrong?

Cities full of hatred, fear and lies
Withered hearts and cruel, tormented eyes
Scheming demons dressed in kingly guise
Beating down the multitude and
Scoffing at the wise
Can't we raise our eyes and make a start?
Can't we find the minds to lead us
Closer to the Heart?

Well If you want a short list just check out the jazz album he produced back in '92, " Burning for Buddy " . It opened his eyes WIDE during the production of that album when the likes of Steve Smith, Vinnie Calluita, Dave Weckl and many others threw down the jazz. He actually asked Steve Smith how he got so good at jazz and Steve said " Freddy Gruber". So he took lessons from Freddy right after that album. Other notables , Dennis Chambers, Tony Williams (RIP), Billy Cobham and many many more.

@DrewDrums76 But, at that level, how do you determine who's 'better'? Peart himself downplays his talent, but seriously, who's 'better'? Buddy Rich? Ok. He's considered the 'litmus test' for aspiring percussionists. I'm not real familiar w/ who's out there now. Throw out some names. I'd be interested to know who's 'better' than Peart - or, as you put it, 'drummers that he can only look up to.' Good art is a matter of opinion.

Neil is the perfect drummer for Rush, and that's all that matters for me.
