Alexmai Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 We all know that Neil is going to stop in a few years, while Geddy and Alex are talking about new projects. Name a drummer that can fit somehow Neil's shoes... If I were G&A, I pick also a polystrumentist for rhythm guitar, keys and vocals to help Geddy and Alex...

Alexmai Posted May 13, 2015 Author Share Posted May 13, 2015 (edited) My pick for the drummer role is Mike Portnoy, followed by Taylor Hawkins. PS Portnoy = http://www.cygnus-x1.net/links/rush/albums-cygnus-and-the-sea-monsters.php Edited May 13, 2015 by Alexmai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stone and a hard place Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Couldn't call the band Rush They should audition and find a young talented unknown drummer. and add female singer and keyboardist/other instruments. do something completely different and unique, don't become a nostalgia band.

LittleRushmonkey Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 It wouldn't really be :rush: without Neil. It'd be Rush, sure, but it wouldn't be :rush: . Geddy and Alex also say that they won't start a new band without Neil but I think they will do solo projects instead and maybe something together. Who knows.

Lucas Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 (edited) How do you replace a legend - "The Professor" ?!?! With a 16 y/o girl from Japan .... At the :40 mark it gets good - and at 1:20 it gets sick . . Edited May 14, 2015 by Lucas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HemiBeers Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 (edited) Won't happen as Rush...it just won't. Now they may form a new group for the hell of it. But it won't be Rush. Portnoy's ego is too big...he'd be out to prove he's as good or better than Neil. Matt Cameron would be good since he worked on Ged's album I believe(?). But he's really tied up already between Pearl Jam and Soundgarden. Chad Smith would be good as well. He's a regular dude who could hang and keep his ego in check. Not the most creative drummer though. Timmaaaaay Alexander from Primus would be interesting as well.
