JohnRogers Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 So last night I'm home chilling like a boss, got my SoCo and Pepsi, watching a lousy "Trek fan film" and I got to thinking. If the technology existed would you accept a hologram Neil Peart playing on the R45 tour??? Neil has a holosuite in his home, the roadies set up hologram emitters on stage. Yes or No?

JohnnyBlaze Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 I'd have a hologram of myself in the front row ordering that they play Hemispheres in its entirety. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezer Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 (edited) Can I have holograms of Geddy, Alex and Neil playing the show sent straight to my living room (I'd rent the receiving tool)? Edited September 3, 2015 by geezer 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geddy's Soul Patch Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 That would be tight, I say it's a great idea :smoke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnRogers Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 Dang front row experience for everyone and Neil gets to stay home, hell he doesn't even need to put on pants! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 (edited) No thanks. I think they should not even think about touring anymore. They went out on a high note, that's enough. Edited September 3, 2015 by EagleMoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toadbrother Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Dang front row experience for everyone and Neil gets to stay home, hell he doesn't even need to put on pants! Nonsense. They will all be wearing Clockwork Angels limited edition anagram pajamas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyBlaze Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 No thanks. I think they should not even think about touring anymore. They went out on a high note, that's enough.Honestly though, I don't think that's how THEY think. I think they're done when they don't want to do it anymore (maybe now, maybe later) and NOT because the last time was awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnEggplant Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 If it was Neil playing, just from a distance with a hologram. I would accept that. It wouldn't be ideal, but it would be okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they're done when they don't want to do it anymore (maybe now, maybe later) and NOT because the last time was awesome. I didn't say that. Neil obviously wants to quit touring. Geddy obviously wants to keep going, and I get the feeling that Alex would like to but he didn't seem as gung-ho. The thing is, even if they feel like touring maybe they shouldn't. There are bands out there today doing the casino circuit that are just pale versions of what they used to be. I can't see Rush doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see Rush doing that.True, but there are many other options for them in between doing a 6-month arena tour and playing casinos. Just because Rush might decide to play more live shows in the future, it wouldn't mean they were destined for the latter. They all have enough pride to keep that from happening. Neil probably never even steps foot in a casino unless it's the only place in town where he can order a whiskey.

I just think that if they were to stop touring completely at this point it would be a good place to stop. We don't want them to become a joke or to start seeing their musicianship decline any further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't want them to become a joke or to start seeing their musicianship decline any further.I know what you mean. R40 was definitely the best of the tours I'VE seen and there is something to be said for going out on a high note. On the other hand, I think R40 showed they can still more than deliver the goods at their age and that they're also still able to reconnect with the old school Rush that a lot of us have been missing. So I'd love to see them crank out one more progressive (and better sounding) follow-up to CA along with a few more scattered live shows before calling it a day, but I doubt that's going to happen. Neil is probably content with R40 being a sort of storybook ending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
