My thoughts on this...as mentioned already...is that they will not continue as Rush, it will be something like the Lee/Lifeson band. Maybe a few festival slots to see if Alex can do it. If not I believe Geddy will go solo and maybe Alex will come out and play a few songs. Geddy's already gone solo before so this is not new territory and there is already precedence. Bottom line, this is happening -- is some iteration -- but one (or both of them) will be recording a new album and playing out in some manner in the next year or so. As someone that's getting older and occasionally plays in a band, when the call comes it's very hard to say no because there's always the 'what if' (as the old adage goes; it's the things in life you DON'T do that you regret, not the things you DO). Just my intuition/thoughts.

I'm at the chapter about how Geddy's parents met! Some SPOILERS:

Just got the Geddy Lee book for Christmas! Wondered if anyone else got it for Christmas? To be honest I would never have bought it myself (after being an astromancing uber-fan for 40+ years I know a lot of the lore and also I'm afraid to know everything because it might ruin the mystery a bit) but it was a nice thought and am about 40 pages in. Cheers!

You know I didn't even think of this...but this a 1000%!! ⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️ These guys are VERY smart, they wouldn't have mentioned it unless they were already working on something.

Funny, I prefer it to be called Lee-Lifeson. We'll see! 👍

This in a nutshell! Well said!

Will have to check it out! 👍 Yeah, I mean can you imagine one of the all time Rock Gods (that literally changed the f-ing world!! No exaggeration!!) being cool and humble enough to be interested in wanting to meet you!! You just hear horror stories about that kind of stuff and it's amazing to know that there are still people out there like that...a real gentlemen, gentle soul and down-to-earth hippy-type...wanting to pay it forward and being a real human being. I know, just like millions of other kids that they all -- Ged, Alex and Neil -- all watched the Ed Sullivan show with The Beatles when they were kids so that would be quite a mind-blowing experience for Ged and Al!

By the by. Just saw this! Paul McCartney...THEE Paul McCartney...LIVING LEGEND...inspires Rush to perform again!! I mean...how can you say no to that?!?! (seems like a super amazing and humble cat) https://ultimateclassicrock.com/paul-mccartney-geddy-lee-alex-lifeson/?fbclid=IwAR3ZaSwqhXvjd7baGsZ0HAJgRVQ1Ry3dENw5VQ2sPiK8xNxeSao8VfCmA0k

Okay, will do! Will be there in April. For right now will be doing a day trip pilgrimage to Lakeside Park. My favorite song of all time!!!!

They're my favorite band of all time! And NP is one of my favorite lyricists and drummers and as musicians they are ALL all uniquely different in their own way -- the whole is greater than the sum of it's parts. But the reality is this: - Geddy and Alex have known each other since they were kids - The band existed long before NP came along - Lee/Lifeson wrote many songs before Neil came on board (and they have matured as lyricists) - Geddy already showed it can be done on his solo record I'm excited either way, whether it's called the Lee-Lifeson Band or Rush! (as mentioned they were Rush before Neil soooo.) I already have my tickets, lol! I mean holy sh*t in Shinola...if the Stones can tour at 80 then everyone should be inspired to tour!

Okay, I looked and I looked and this has to be on here somewhere but I didn't see it soooo.... https://www.loudersound.com/news/geddy-lee-wont-rule-out-future-rush-shows-with-alex-lifeson It was a matter of time!!

Wow! Thanks! That looks like a 70's movie alright! Completely mind-bending and hyper-surreal. BTW, I'm familiar with many Psychotronic and acid-fueled mindf**k films from this period and I've never heard of this movie! Will have to watch one day.

Hello fellow Astromancers! Just saw the The Rise of Kings 1968-1981 doc on Axis TV and couldn't believe my eyes when they showed a 'video' snippet from The Necromancer! Pretty sure the copyright said 1979. I scrambled and looked everywhere but it's nowhere to be found. Does anyone know what this is? Is it a real video? Why can't I find it? Thanks!

Hey Goose, I just tried and a message came up saying, RodInToronto cannot receive messages. Am I doing something wrong? Cheers.

Yeah, I'm an old-schooler on here but haven't posted in a while. The site is definitely different, ha. Thanks for the tip! I'll do that. Just trying to feel out Lakeside Park and what the vibe is like. Cheers!

Greetings fellow Astromancers! (My term for all of us Rush fans!) I will be making my *very first* pilgrimage to Toronto next Spring and was hoping someone can give me a few possible tips for visiting Rush sites in the area. Unfortunately, I will just be passing through and will only be there for one day and was thinking of visiting Lakeside Park (My favorite Rush song and also overall favorite song of all time!). Not sure if that will take up a full day but figured that would be enough for this first visit and I will make more stops when I come back later at another date when I have more time. Obviously this is a life long dream and I'm VERY excited! Thanks in advance my friends!

In case you guys missed this. Two new Alex songs!!! https://www.louderso...brand-new-songs

I know this place isn't as busy as it used to be but just wanted to post this just in case: https://www.loudersound.com/news/alex-lifeson-to-release-new-album-later-this-year Very exciting!! :lol:

Thank you! Happy holidays to you, too! It's on the way! Tell her it's the first SASE I've ever done! Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas to you, too! :hi: BTW, got them! They're awesome! She had to add a couple of extra stamps (oops!) but I sent a thank you letter with some stamps. Thank you for facilitating this and tell her I said thank you again. Cheers!

I thought Andre did a great job in trading long exchanges with Alex. He was not surprisingly very knowledgable and clearly hold him in high esteem. Regarding "Never say never", not only is it the obvious result of, in my opinion, Alex seeming to want to put that part of the discussion behind them and move on (the only aspect of the interview I was slightly uncomfortable with, i.e. what seemed to me to be just a tad pushy in light of the fact that Alex'd already made clear his feelings), but the phrase itself errs on the side of "highly unlikely" and is only an acquiescence that one cannot know the future. They say, hope springs eternal! :lol: Andre was especially knowledgeable about Victor. Haven't heard that since college! I'll have check it out again.

Bought a few from this lady last Xmas and they're amazing! https://www.etsy.com/shop/ROCKNROLLXMAS?ref=nla_listing_details All hand made! If you don't see it, she'll make it! She's currently working on some for me! Figured I'd pay it forward! :D

Wikipedia not a thing for you? Wow... Slow day huh?

Here's the full interview: Ok, just watched the WHOLE interview! Phew! It's amazing actually! Some really amazing take aways for me personally: He's younger than I thought so he still has A LOT of life left in him He still wants to play He's been working and recording consistently after they stopped touring Now I know why there are no solos on VT (he wanted to be a unit and didn't want any of the focus to be on him which is very admirable and weird at the same time) His favorite album, as far as ease of creativity and creation, is MP (which is how they were able to channel such amazing energy into that album) But the real take away is that he said: Never say Never! Looks like he doesn't want to tour but I'm guessing he would do festivals. Prediction: There will be a Lee/Lifeson album out in the next year or so.

Not sure if anyone has posted this yet: https://www.louderso...t-back-together I'm sure many of us assumed that this would be a matter of time after they were able to properly grieve. These guys have been mates and brothers since they were kids. They will always be compelled to work together in some fashion. RIP Neil Peart - Fellow Astromancer and Lord of Rivendell!
