ragz06 Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Rush peeps, I've been a long time fan of 20+ years, my orig post on this forum was over 10 years ago... but I tend to lurk and read, not post so much. But in my recent lurkings, I've seen several post regarding the band's future, Ged an Alex working together, Neil's role (or not) in future projects, and I have a GREAT IDEA. I believe, like many of you, that Neil is done with RUSH. I hold no negativity about that, and many have made that argument on these boards in the recent past. I do believe that Ged and Alex would like to continue to work. The obvious question is who else to work with them on drums? I've seen several ideas, Matt Cameron, etc... I suggest an absolutely obvious choice in Todd Sucherman. Sadly as a Rush worshiper (my desert island band), I am not positive that Ged and Alex could get Todd to step away from STYX after all these years, although I feel he would much happier playing with Ged and Al, as he is above and beyond the STYX repertoire (no offense intended, I like STYX as well). Todd S. has been killing it for years, and I would love to see a collaboration with the boys and Todd, not only in his interpretations of RUSH work, but maybe even in new stuff. Anybody not familiar with Todd's work, just YouTube. You will not be disappointed. I look forward to any comments, as this seems a perfect fit, from style, to ability, to age, to personality. I know they would not call it RUSH, and I don't want them to. I just want more from Ged and Al! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyBlaze Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Wow, what an original idea for a thread! :PHey hey settle down now tiger. :poke: It IS an original choice for a drummer. I've never seen Sucherman mentioned before. I haven't liked Styx for decades and I don't even know what that drummer sounds like. But hey, if it gets any of the Rush members making good, new music again, I'm all for it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Geddy and Alex need someone with a ******** of personality .. and chops .. and showmanship S.White If nothing else, it would be like nothing they've ever done before .. Isn't that the point ?? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edhunter Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Rush isn't over until they don't tour. Since they haven't not toured yet, they're just taking a break. Then they'll get together and decide whether to tour or not. If they don't tour, then they'll be finished. It's quite simple really. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyBlaze Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 "Carry On My Wayward Son Of A Bitch" "The Spirit Of Radio Carries On!" RUSH IS DEAD! Even KANSAS is still playing!! They are doing the entire "Leftoverture" album!! CAN'T WAIT! LUSH ON! Only 2 out of the 7 current Kansas members are original members.3 out of the 7 joined the band as recently as 2014. IF Geddy & Alex got a new drummer more than half this board would be pissed off if they called it Rush AND even if the new tunes were really good. IF only Geddy played on and got two new members and called it Rush, even MORE TRFers would be pissed off...again, even if the new tunes were really good, many TRFers would be pissed off. I don't think either of the Rush IF scenarios will happen. Also, I think the Kansas comparison isn't really a good one in the case of Rush. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
