Its very Possible that Neil might have already chosen the person he'd like to step into his shoes!

Guess what was discussed on this day? http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/w387/losingit2k/np-mp.jpg

As long as they are all Alive there's the possibility of a RUSH tour. However small it may be! Even if its a stretch of 8 Days in LA! Wow sounds like the name of a Tour! RUSH 8 Days in LA !

Not an option...no! :P

I went with Dave, only cause he has already appeared live with RUSH in one way or form but my first choice would really be Mike Portnoy.

Wouldn't it be cool if Alex and Geddy would do something like this:

I bet you really glad you saw that show in LA now?

Neil is popping in the Good Dinosaur into the Blu Ray for the 16th Time. Alex and Geddy are on a conference call with Mike Portnoy!

Time for that Lifeson/ Lee Tour! With Special Guest Drummer Mike Portnoy!

I never thought I'd actually see this sad day but here it is! :(

This kinda makes sense. They would probably tour ala: Page / Plant did back in the 90's. A would love to see a Lee/ Lifeson Tour. Set list below: Set 1: Far Cry Caravan Driven (With Bass Solo) Cut to the Chase My Favorite Headache Promise Mal-Nar Limelight Freewill Headlong Flight Set 2: The Spirit of Radio Tom Sawyer New World Man Clockwork Angels Don't Care Working at Perfekt Distant Early Warning Red Barchetta La Villa Strangiatto Hemispheres (Prelude) Cygnus X-1 Xanadu 2112 (O/T/F) Encore: The Anarchist YYZ Working Man I'd pay to see this! :Alex: :geddy: You and your endless set lists. I bet you have a "Geddy solo tour" set list, a "Geddy/Alex" set list (as seen here), an "Alex solo tour" set list, a "Geddy/Alex unplugged" set list, a "full Rush band" set list, a "one off gig full Rush band" set list, and "B" & "C" alternate set lists for each of those tours don't you? Possibly!

Bravo! Excellent as always. Dude you have out done yourself. Loved the light Saber! Can't wait for the next one!

Maybe not in the intensity/frequency he used to when the band was in full flight. Does anyone know for certain? Or has he pulled the plug on everything? Well, I don't think that even Geddy or Alex would know that for certain. And anything we surmise about it is just conjecture. But that being said, I think he most likely has hung it up completely, at least for the time being. I imagine he may want to play again, at some point, but that would be simply of his own free will. Or maybe his daughter might influence him somewhat- I can see him just kind of playing around on the drums, if it's something that she wants him to do, and it makes her smile. I like the thought of that. "Daddy, Remember when you used to be a rock star in RUSH?"

Neil has a life, Recording music and touring for 40 plus years takes a toll on a person's body. Plus family priorities. He can kick any drummers a**! :Neil: Troutman, come on now, where did I ever blame him ?? You know that I have been fine with his decision all along ( except for that last blog hiccup ) But that doesn't mean that the music has to stop As a band, Without Neil it does. No Rush. There is no way in Hell Alex and Geddy would carry on as Rush. Call it what you want with another drummer but it won't be Rush. If it is over, I hope Alex and Geddy do there own thing at this point. What would we call it? BRUSH, CRUSH, KRUSH, l-o-l Yes my LOL looks like a Tie- Fighter.

I think that the RUSH camp will push for an R45 tour even if it means they tour with a guess drummer. Now Who would that be? Mike Portnoy come to mind as do many others.

You know the dogs required no training for this video...the performed willingly. That one dogs gaze at the camera is priceless. "What you wouldn't to be in the same situation right now?

I listen to RUSH about 50% of the time. The rest is divided between everybody else.

Absolutely! Much better than the original! Of coarse we had a great video to go with it!

I can't believe you sang with Bubbles! Dude that's Epic! Specially that fact he knew you were in a different key! LOL

I will never forget your reaction when we got wind of the fact that they were rehearsing the song during soundcheck. :) I'm disappointed in the lack of couch burnings. :lol: You have a good memory, I forgot about that. :) If I remember correctly, we had to talk him out of actually doing it. Cygnus and Lorraine, if you recall further, it wasn't just a couch that was burning. Rather, there was a stated intend to defecate on the couch, which may in fact have been the reason that said couch was to be dragged onto the front lawn and burned. I know if that happened on my couch, I'd be burning it on the front lawn pronto. Yes, it took me awhile to find the thread it was on. I had forgotten about the defecation. The important thing is that we talked him out of it. At least I hope we did. Well the truth is I did have to get a new couch! Insert reason here-->

I can die happy now! I've seen a dog getting philashio and the Duff-man Dancing! Great stuff TM! I haven't laughed so hard in ages. God knows I need it! I do have a full plate. I'm teaching 11 hours at a time and then I have the Master Chorale and my own Band not to mention a Family and elderly Parents. Its surprising I have time to writ....................

I so hope they don't stop recording. I still have hope of a 21st Album called BlackJack! http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/w387/losingit2k/blackjack-RUSH-Copy.jpg http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/w387/losingit2k/blackjackRUSH2-online1-Copy.jpg

On the CD The Bonus Tracks are really great. Specially Losing It in LA. Wow what a clear sounding production on that track!

Great Article as Usual TM! Hopefully From your finger tips to GED's Ears! :codger:
