blueschica Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 According to a Rush Instagram post and a post from the band Arkellsmusic, Alex played with the Arkells Saturday night at Massey Hall. The occasion was the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony honoring Neil Young, Bruce Cockburn, Beau Dommage and Stéphane Venne. (Don't know who the last 2 are! Oops!). Below is a pic of Alex with the Arkells. On the Rush IG site there is also a very short clip of Alex, during the Neil Young part, playing Cinnamon Girl with the Arkells; it kills! I've been trying to figure out how to put it up here but I can't figure out how to get the Instagram embed code into the BB code thing. Maybe Maverick or someone can figure it out. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyBlaze Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Neil Young hadn't already been inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame before?!! What the hell were the waiting for?!! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenjaminW Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 I'm inclined to say that with Geddy and Alex making appearances on stage in the past few months, maybe a return to Rush as a whole? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm inclined to say the opposite: separate appearances mean they're doing their own thing and enjoying it. Good for them. I still think Geddy & Alex together will happen at some point...but not all 3 together. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xanadu Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Would love to see Alex get himself a small, talented group of musicians together and do a small club tour. Can play some Rush, some of his solo stuff, and some classic favorites. Ultimately I hope he puts out more new music. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
