edhunter Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Ok, so not really. But if there were, would anyone here have the balls to show up? This is a blind audition. Geddy and Alex will pick solely by ability, not name recognition. Same for Alex or Geddy. If either of them broke their fingers and could not play again, would you go to a blind audition? Once upon a time, before psoriatic arthritis permanently bent 2 fingers on my left hand, I may have tried a bass audition. Now theres not enough fluidity in my finger movement.

That One Guy Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Jokes aside, I hope 2/3 of Rush do come back together, soon-ish, and create some new music with a new member or two under a different name. :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who here has the goods? I'd have happily given it a shot back when I was in my Austin-based Rush tribute band (though I would have stood no chance of getting the gig), but now I can't even play the intro to TSOR without embarrassing myself. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PW_Guitarist Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 The drummer in my Rush tribute band put together a video mashup of his favourite parts. I'm pretty sure he'd have the balls to show up, though he'd need a few days to recover :codger: .As for me, I would never have the guts to show up for for an Alex audition. Not in a million years. https://youtu.be/EpsDjEriJ9k 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ancient Ways Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 As long as they're looking for a second guitarist to replace Neil I'm in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fridge Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Wouldn't try put for Alex's position, but with a lot of pre-practice, reckon I could have an outside shot at Geddys basswork...of course they'd still need a keyboard player and a singer, so nah really.........

JohnnyBlaze Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 http://viralgifs.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/chimp_drummer.gifmike portnoy playing a ballad. I don't see his balls resting on his own chin though. So they can't be Portnoy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geddy and Alex will pick solely by ability, not name recognition. At this point, maybe Ged and Al are the ones who should be doing the auditioning. :D-13: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
