This would be an amazing thing if it actually happens. Minnemann is one of my favorite drummers.

 

My daughter and I met the band, including him and SW, after a Steven Wilson concert. Aside from being wildly talented, he was unbelievably approachable and friendly.

That's amazing! He seems very down to earth. A friend of mine has interviewed him, and said he was the coolest guy to talk to.

This is fantastic.Minnemann is a fantastic drummer. His work with Gilbert and Goven is super. He is a humble guy for such skills.

 

Seems musicians with incredible talent, generally, have no bad attitude and ego being very humble and friendly.

Looking forward to this with the present Rush wilderness.

Looks like Rush found its new drummer, now they only need a singer. :P

:facepalm: :laughing yellow guy: This made me chuckle, even though I know you're only joking...

It's cool that Alex is doing something. Got no clue who the other guy is though.

 

He's played with Steven Wilson, Joe Satriani, The Aristocrats (with Guthrie Govan), many others. He's a monster drummer.

 

He is also the guy who tried to the next dt drummer but was beat by mangini.

 

He is a monster as said above. Iirc he has played some extreme super tech metal too.

 

So this seems like great news!!!

Best thing is this isn't going to sound anything like Rush......This will be all over the map stylistically. I'd pay to see this live.

Hopefully it's pure metal! With a little bit of prog on the edges to shut up the RUSH femme boy fan girl synth-era maniacs!

Great news! Thanks for posting Rod!!! German/Canadian collaboration - I love it!!!

The Mute Gods rule!!! :hail:

Alex played on three tracks of Minnemann*s last album.

On That Note is a 9 minute psychedelic ride where Alex shows, how smoking pot, is a creative way to lay down some cool guitar parts. He's also playing acoustic and FX guitars, on the 6 minute remix version.

South End is four minutes long and a little bit more straight forward, but still very spacy. Alex has some fantastic moments in this song.

Wow, I listened to these Minnemann/Lifeson tracks. That is some weird S***!... I hope this new project is a bit more mainstream. In fact, Let Alex write the songs and Marco can add his drums later...

Usually it's the other way around. On the Levin Minneman Rudess album, he wrote all the riffs.

Rush fans might like some of The Aristocrats tracks written by Marco - Ohhhh Noooo, stupid 7, etc

A lot of appearances Al made on other people's stuff is all fine and dandy, i listen with eagerness like most of you just for his parts mainly but, a lot of the time it just sounds like a very good and cool rock guitarist - without the 'Alex Lifeson of Rush' effect, if you know what i mean.

 

Like, in Victor, obviously there were many, very definite Lifeson Rush moments, you knew who it was, playing.. it was Alex Lifeson, the guitarist of Rush, singularly unique in himself, no-one like him, the reason we all pay homage to the guy, like he's a demi-god or something

 

Point is, great, anything Al does at this stage of his life and career obviously cool, bring it on, can't wait to hear it like everybody else but...

 

I really want the Alex Lifeson of Rush back

 

Give us another solo album dude, pleaseee :)

There is really no need to be mainstream anymore. It's not Rush so there won't be any expectations. Have to admit I never saw this coming but it really makes total sense.
