Ru5h F@n Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 I just read that Neil Peart was born in 1952. So he's 53 now. Geddy and Alex were both born in 1953 so they are 52 now. Wow they're getting up there in their age. I wonder how much longer they're gonna be around for to record? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sullysue Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 Hey, they're the same age as, say, Sammy Haggar. And he's still going. Age is relative, a state of mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, when you consider that both John Lee Hooker and Stefan Grapelli were both performing well into their 80s... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sullysue Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 Hey, Shro. Waddup? I'm actually from Dallas (North Dallas, Arapaho and Beltline area). Moved to the burbs (Bedford) kicking and screaming when got married. Had shared an appartment at Lovers and Greenville with my sis, right across from The Village. Crazy times. Fun. ***sigh*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilPeartFan2112 Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 Pretty amazing that they are all over 50 and can play better than most bands that are under 30. I think they'll be rockin' forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sullysue Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 God, I hope so. Told the hubby they might be going back to the studio soon for a 2006 release. We're giddy with excitement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's truly amazing after all these years. Wow such devotion and dedication you fans that I have never seen towards a band before. I'm really speechless.

sullysue Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 Being a Rush fan - when you really, truely get the music - holds you for a lifetime. I've had periods where my interest has been diverted and waned. But always, since I was 12, Rush has been the no. 1, top o' the list on my all time favs. I'll be boring my great-grandchildren with stories of how Neil Pert was the greatest drummer ever, and how when I was 13 I would spend hours with my headphones on listening to Moving Pictures. Me: "When I was your age, there was a magical band. Their name was Rush.... My great-grandchildren: "Take your meds, granny." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superbaldguy Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 As long as the desire to create great music is there, and Geddy, Alex, and Neil want to give back to their fans as they always have, they could put out another series of four CD's (as is their pattern) plus yet another live set, and maybe more.......It all depends on how they feel about their product. If left up to us, they'd play until they were 100! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
