fraroc Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 as opposed to making them write and record a whole new LP, which is somehow not selfish? To me, if wanting to see Rush tour again or at least perform just one last farewell concert in their hometown of Toronto one last time is selfish, then guess f***ing what? A wanting them to go out of their way to come up with new ideas for songs, compose them and record them is selfish too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ancient Ways Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 You know why. Neil doesn't even live in Canada anymore and he's the main one that doesn't want to do it. He sure as he'll isn't going to want to go to Toronto, practice for 2 months and play one show. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highly doubtful that they would change how they operate after 40 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Union 5-3992 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 It's not selfish to want to see one more show. Every single person here wants to see that. It would be selfish to hold it against a band member for not giving you what you want. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to see one more show too but I was watching a drumming display last night, Mike Mangini was there and man they really pound the shit out of those drums. It really is a physical activity that they're doing up there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A wanting them to go out of their way to come up with new ideas for songs, compose them and record them is selfish too.The thing is the band seems open to perhaps recording new music. Peart has been 99% clear he doesn't want to tour ever again. That is the difference. I want them to tour again but I'm not prepared to hate Peart if he chooses not too. Which is the reality we face. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really is a physical activity that they're doing up there. Was discussing this with my wife the other night. What Neil does is highly athletic. He functions as an athlete when Rush tours. That is hard to sustain at his age. He wants to go out on top, still playing songs like Natural Science and Cygnus X-1 before they slip away. Dignity and Grace Under the Pressure of time.
