jnoble Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Not to be the turd in the punch bowl but is everyone forgetting that Geddy can't sing well anymore and his voice is shot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toymaker Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 They could be called "Peerless" - which describes them well, and also sounds a bit like "Peart-less"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're forgetting that your opinion on Geddy's voice is just that - an opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowdogged Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Actually you dont need Geoff Downes, Just bring in Carl Palmer. Screw that. They should get a younger unknown drummer who will bring a youthful energy to the project. Some new blood with serious chops would no doubt help Geddy and Alex to keep their game sharp....and maybe they could get a younger bassist, guitarist and singer, just imagine how much energy they'd have then.

JARG Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Not to be the turd in the punch bowl but is everyone forgetting that Geddy can't sing well anymore and his voice is shot?Well presumably this new band wouldn't be doing any Rush material, so hopefully Geddy would write melodies to new songs that he could actually sing.

RUSHHEAD666 Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Not to be the turd in the punch bowl but is everyone forgetting that Geddy can't sing well anymore and his voice is shot?Well presumably this new band wouldn't be doing any Rush material, so hopefully Geddy would write melodies to new songs that he could actually sing. I was going to thread this but it's really not worth starting a thread over it. I know Geddy has been struggling vocally over the years. I have always looked past that when attending my Rush concerts. That being said, I put on the "Clockwork Angels" Live on in my car the other day and I couldn't handle Geddy's voice. It was truly dreadful. I hope they don't write and lyrics for this new fantasy project. Let's hope it's an instrumental band. Ged can focus on his bass, keys, and bass pedals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finding IT Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 They could be called "Peerless" - which describes them well, and also sounds a bit like "Peart-less"... Well if you don't have a lyricist, why worry about vocals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laughedatbytime Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 anyone else hoping the Lee-Lifeson project is a jazz-blues odyssey? Worked for these guys. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but PLEASE not a "flaunt my chops" kind of drummer. Someone with TASTE and chops. What's Gavin up to these days? He's a drummer most Rush fans could easily accept. This. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 I wish they would do more instrumentals, and not just because his voice isn't what it used to be. That's when they really kick butt. The best part of R40 was the second half with Cygnus, Hemispheres 2112 and Xanadu which have long areas without vocals. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
librarian Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 LeeLifesonCopeland - LLC. Do it!!! We would all write lyrics, wouldn't we? I would, just tell us what you want! I would love to have my named credited on a song. F&^K yeah! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theredtamasrule Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 I'm not so certain about the "Lee-Lifeson" name either. Elsewhere I wrote that those not familiar with Rush will be asking, "Which one is Lee Lifeson? And who's the other guy?" I thought maybe a combo of their real last names: ZivoRib. Is that TOTALLY awesome or what? Well, I suppose it is "Or what". Maybe WeinOvich? Geddy is into wine now and Alex is Alex. That doesn't make a lot of sense either. I'm also still liking the idea of them going with Rash. And yes, it would be cool to hear some "My Favorite Headache" songs performed live. Some "Victor" stuff, too.

losingit2k Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 (edited) What will they call this collaboration, Brush? As in whom ever is the drummer will have a brush with greatness? I liked to Mike Portnoy take the seat! Lifeson, Lee and Portnoy! Edited August 27, 2017 by losingit2k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
losingit2k Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 The good thing about this is that we'll get to hear some more new Rush-like tunes not to mention songs from their solo albums when they hit the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would also get to see Geddy and Alex in much more intimate venues. They're not filling arenas and amphitheaters with a possible project together. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

losingit2k Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Oh I think they'll still fill arenas, just like plant/page filled arenas and Roger Waters filled arenas. Cause regardless what they put out. Fans will still expect the same type of show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 I don't think they would do the evening with format. No way they would do that many Rush tunes. Maybe five or six and the rest would be new stuff with maybe one solo song from each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
losingit2k Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 (edited) I agree with you after seeing the set, I was thinking the same thing. 1 new song woild not be enough. I would have to hear their new stuff to make a more precise setlist. Edited August 27, 2017 by losingit2k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
losingit2k Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Regardless, it fun to be back here with hope of seeing 2/3 of the guys again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
