Alex confirms Rush is "basically done"

Did we honestly think that Neil was willing to pick up his drumsticks for anything? Especially after he basically admitted that he hasn't played drums in over two years?

 

Make a poll. I bet some honestly think there’s at least a possibility that they’ll record or play a gig (or a few).

I wouldn’t vote that way but surely some would.

I mean. why cant they make a new album? Do they always have to tour on one? sell it online and make a fortune. Al And Ged can do all the promotion like before. Maybe a handful of dates Not a full tour? anyone savvy in the music bizz please explain in laymans language!!!

Explanation:

ALL of them don’t want to do it anymore. So, they’re done.

Yep. There always comes a time to retire. They may do some off shoot stuff down the road. But as far as them ending? So be it. We had a hell of a run Rush fans!!!

Or I guess, more correct is:

Yes, BUT.......

 

Everyone knows that if Neil called the other two tomorrow and said, "Hey, I'm getting bored just sitting around. Let's do something," then an album or tour could be back on the table. That simply.

 

So....given that 64/65 is still plenty young for rock-and-roll, I still find it hard to believe that the last chapter has been written for Rush.

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to R40 the other day like I said here - my memory was of not enjoying it as much when it first came out. But yeah, you could definitely hear why Neil decided he didn´t want to do it anymore. There are many drum fills on R40 that he simplified a lot, especially in the older material. Compare that album even with not so old performances - The Camera Eye from the Time Machine versus R40, for example - and you´ll see what I mean.

Peart and Deaon are poles apart, especially as Deacon struggles with depression and shuns the limelight entirely.

NP will soon start crapping out books galore that won't sell as much as he hoped. Then he'll put out a solo album!

 

That pic of Deacon is sad. He obviously doesn't want his pic taken. Reminds me of those odious Syd Barrett pics taken before he died.

I didn´t know John Deacon struggled with depression...I knew he didn´t want anything to do with the spotlight after Freddie died, but he´s still involved with the accounting side of Queen´s legacy.

That's AMAZING that Alex is doing things outside of :rush:

 

To be honest I am glad :rush: is done bc now the guys have time to relax n wind down after non stop touring for 40+ years.

 

Don't attack me but come on guys, they don't need to go back on the road, let them be done. It's there choice so respect it, no mater what.

 

No attack, and I'm happy for all the great music they put out there, but 64 is too young to pack it in. Especially given the state of the "rock industry", it would be good to have Rush still out there.

 

No. Rock is not well served by old men playing a young man's game. Rush had already become a parody of themselves by the time they hung it up.

.....but 64 is too young to pack it in.

 

 

This opinion is often held by fans who are thinking more about their desire to see Rush keep playing than about a musician's personal desire to retire.

 

Deciding when to pack it in is a deeply personal decision by every individual. The right time to retire is whenever YOU want it to be, and no one has any business telling you that you're "too young".
