JohnnyBlaze Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 If Neil wants to retire, he should just open his mouth and say it. Don't drag the fans along, don't drag Geddy and Alex along, just either confirm or deny you're done with Rush. I'd have a LOT more respect for him if he would just be honest with himself and say it.Can I just say you sound like you have a real lack of understanding? Hey, I said it. Fans aren't being dragged anywhere. Neil said "There's no strict answer" in the latest issue of Modern Drummer when asked about the future. Geddy and Alex don't know what the future holds. No one does. Stop being pissed at Neil for not charting out the next few years for you. What happens will happen, or not. The band is on "holiday". Geddy says they'll talk about a new album next year. Just be happy Neil hasn't said he's done with Rush, or said he's retired from drumming. That would be stupid. He is honest. Like Johnny told you in another thread, you just don't like the answers. Ugh! Thanks. :)As I was reading your post I was thinking, "Yup I agree...yup...totally...yup yup..." then I saw my name. You say it better here than I briefly did in that other thread.Thanks. I must say I'm a fan of your rational point of view-type posting style. I hope I wasn't too rude to fraroc, but it was the second time this morning that I read essentially the same post from him in two different threads. Gahh! Thanks for the great compliment! :cheers: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know if you are going to go Full Shatner your post should look more like this... "I don't need, To give him, any, slack. He can do, what ever he wants, to.

JARG Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Neil has worked very hard to become one of the best rock drummers out there. 40 years or so on the road... he went through some personal crap that many people could not have made it through... He has a wife and a young daughter (I am so happy that he found a "second chance" at a great family life.) If he doesn't want to tour anymore, I can understand why. Pretty obvious, really. Don't forget... the man is 62. Anyone here ever thought about retiring? I hear some pretty insensitive things about Neil and it bugs the sh** outta me. We should all be thankful that we ever had the chance to hear and see him play, read his lyrics and books. The man is getting some bad arrows slung in his direction and it’s not fair. Stop being so selfish. I hope he does retire. You won't get any argument from me. I've been thinking Rush needed to retire ever since VT came out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

x1yyz Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 I don't think anyone ever said he didn't have a right to retire; they have just questioned the manner in which it took place. You may or may not agree with their opinion on it, but "it is what it is." So, we can have 36 pages of this back and forth all over again, or we can agree to disagree and just move on already. http://dailynewsdig.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Cutest-Baby-Animals-top-10-3.jpg Hey there, 'sup?

I fail to see what respect has to do with anything? He said....he doesn't know....that is the answer.....none of them know. That's .....it. I see a failure of some fans to accept a perfectly reasonable answer at this juncture....its got nothing to do with earning anyones respect....if you dont know what you are going to do..really don't know......you say so. He did. Edited November 17, 2015 by JBsDWdrums 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't know what the interaction is between him, Alex, and Geddy, so anything said about that will just be speculation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefox4000 Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 I'm sick of people acting like they know the process behind Rush's thinking. you're not in the band so shut up. and let them be. Mick 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
