lifeson90 Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Yeah a reworking of tracks from different albums, perhaps giving a different take on em would have been very interesting, like imagine Subdivisions with that heavier Counterparts style or something etc. Pure fantasy now of course guys finished Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edhunter Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 No. Neil sucks as a groove rock drummer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JARG Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 No, I want to remember those songs as they were, when Alex's leads were a thing to behold. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaportrailer Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 No. Neil sucks as a groove rock drummer. But just think of what concert toms and woodblocks would add to "Here Again"! :o The debut, to my ears, is a perfect slab of balls-out rock filled with the energy of youth. Even though some of the material may be derivative/pedestrian/whatever-your-beef-is, all of it is played with enthusiasm and a sense of fun that is missing from most of NP's recordings, sadly and weirdly enough. :(In his defense, Peart's strength was in creating/arranging challenging drum parts, which is something else entirely. It would be interesting to hear Geddy's "new voice" with this material, but I doubt he'd be able to sell it. Maybe Neil could belt out "Take A Friend". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. JD Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 No, I want to remember those songs as they were, when Alex's leads were a thing to behold. Exactly how I feel. In most cases, “reworking” songs doesn’t end well. They hardly ever seem to be as good as the original. A good example is with the 80s’ band “The Babys”. They recently released a reworked version of their Anthology album. It sounds like it was recorded by a Babys cover band. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick N. Backer Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 They should re-record the first rush album. Geddy’s new voice. Different take on the drumming. Listen to ATWaS. They have a few tunes from the debut on it with Neil drumming. And Geddy could still hit all the notes. I have no interest in hearing Rush in 2018 re-record the songs from the debut. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red3angel Posted April 15, 2018 Author Share Posted April 15, 2018 Look how much growth the beat had on their run,i wouldn’t be sad if rush is done, but do feel that Neil shouldn’t hold the other guys hostage to new music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, re-doing material 4-6 years later is a lot different than 40+ years later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thizzellewashington Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 I guess my point is 1968 Beatles redoing 1962 BeatlesThere's a biiiiiiiig difference between redoing six-year-old material and redoing 44-year-old material. You really think Geddy could handle any of that stuff vocally? I'm not generally huge on bands re-recording old material, but if they wanted to do some synth era stuff with their heavier live sound, I'd be up for that. Of course, all of this is moot because the band is done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
