RUSH's 2013 Hall of Fame Acceptance Speech

It's about time. These guys are the greatest of all-time. No doubt about it. They've had more influence on me, and most of my favorite music than anyone else I know of.. blah blah blah... blah blah blah blah, and yes Alex is one of the most underrated guitarists of his time. We all know Neil is the master. No one else has won as many awards as this man. No one will ever be better than Neil Peart. And we all know Geddy Lee is universally revered for his technologically-advanced multi-tasking, and superb bass-playing.. Kudos to Alex Lifeson for this bit! These guys... They are.. well,

Simply the greatest band of all-time!

Wow, what an amazingly touching acceptance speech by Emmitt Smith. One of my all-time favorites was just given the greatest honor any player can receive - And no player deserves such an honor more than Emmitt Smith.

Drumming Legends - A Megapost

Iron Maiden's Nicko McBrain - Live At Guitar Center's Drum-Off


This man-legend is now 56 years old! Still one of the very best ever to pound the skins..

Neil Peart - And the Masters - At Work


There might not ever be anyone better.

3:03-3:09 OMG!

Neil Peart is now 57, and still rockin'.. My one idol growing up. Certainly one of the dozen men I would give anything to meet in my lifetime. His influence will linger for decades... Simply amazing!



Now there is.. Mike Portnoy of Dream Theater


Currently the best drummer in the world. No doubt about it. Just go listen to some Dream Theater.

Old, and long 80's hair, but an incredible demonstration:

The Most Extreme Golf Hole Ever

The hole is based at the Legends Golf and Safari Resort, within the Entabeni Safari Conservancy in South Africa's north-eastern Limpopo Province. A round of golf - including the 19th hole and lunch - will set you back € 615. Harrington said: "This is the type of innovation and excitement we need to get more people playing golf.
