YYZumbi Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Lets say you could go back in time, to 1974, When Neil first joined the band. And you could talk with Rush in a room, just you and the three guys. What would you tell them then? If you know everything that you know now about Rush.

Lorraine Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 (edited) Don't ever use anyone other than Terry Brown or Peter Collins as your record producer. Edited October 17, 2014 by Lorraine 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savagegrace26 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 To Neil: Don't ever visit China. Don't ever think about love in terms of physics. To Alex: Don't ever go to Naples, Florida. Eat less hamburgers. To Geddy: Get a vocal coach now. To all of them: Start professionally video recording all of your tours now. It will pay off. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why cant Alex go to naples, Florida? And the hamburger-thing, not even funny... I agree with the coach for Geddy, and I agree with video recording.

Lorraine Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 (edited) That's what I came back to say. To tell Geddy to go easy on his voice, not to sing so high so as not to strain it, and cut back on touring so as to enable his voice to last.

bathory Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 to hell with "saving your voice." they probably didn't think they'd make it to 1984, let alone 2014. geddy not giving his all in the 70s wouldn't be worth having his voice sound a tiny bit better today, imo and besides, if you went up to 22 year-old neil peart and told him you had messages from the future, he'd probably hit you in the head with atlas shrugged 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the time you're thirty, your throat will be ripped to shreds. But, who cares? You never thought you'd make it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bathory Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 and besides, that's not what I'd say to them. I'd say, "don't listen to that crazy lady who security just threw out...give it your all and don't worry about the 2020 tour." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So stop while you still can. I don't dig ayn rand much at all, but I think it's shitty that it's something he has to "live down" anyway, and I think it's shitty that hipster critics still bring it up in every article. I guess he should've written a 20-minute sci-fi epic based on noam chomsky instead, or hunter thompson or someone hip and cool 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet if they stayed with Broon they would've broken up a long time ago. There was obviiously some friction and differences. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he would've talked them out of so many keyboards which would've been a good thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
