Neil Peart on Rush DVD

V Entertainment Network reports: With the release of the double DVD/CD Rush-R30 (which is already slated to ship at double platinum status) to celebrate 30 years of Rush Neil Peart looked back at the past, present and future. Here are a couple of the Q&A's:

What was it like to view the footage for the second DVD of Rush 30? Did it take you back to a bygone era?

What that old footage does is make us laugh, really, at how we looked back then, and smile with a certain fond appreciation for our youthful earnestness and energy. We had a lot to learn - but we were learning it!

What do you think you have learned since the early days? How have you changed as a band?

We have learned so much, it's hard to begin to quantify it. But if anyone hasn't learned a whole bunch in 30 years, they haven't been paying attention. >From the band's point of view, we certainly worked on our musicianship first, then - armed with that increased facility and confidence in our individual instruments - expanded into paying more attention to songwriting, arranging, and production.
