Rod in Toronto Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 That´s comforting at least. I´m not happy that they´re retired because I wanted more music from them. I listented to R40 in full the other day, and thought it sounded amazing. But if that´s what they want to do, I´m glad one of them finally told us DIRECTLY that they´re done. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Permanent-Rush Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 (edited) That's AMAZING that Alex is doing things outside of :rush: To be honest I am glad :rush: is done bc now the guys have time to relax n wind down after non stop touring for 40+ years. Don't attack me but come on guys, they don't need to go back on the road, let them be done. It's there choice so respect it, no mater what.

Entre_Perpetuo Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Alex sounds like he's having the time of his life. I'd love to read that column he mentioned. I still wouldn't mind another album tho...but whatever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zappafrank Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Next an interview with Geddy where he's told about Alex's comments: "Well, hold on a minute now... we haven't really sat down and made any final decisions just yet...." 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We get closure. Neil quitting the band wasn't definitive enough, eh? :) Well there was a lot of hem and haw from the others. Talk of writing together, etc. But hearing Alex say something definitive makes it easier. I think it means they have finally realized they are not talking Neil into coming back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraroc Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Did we honestly think that Neil was willing to pick up his drumsticks for anything? Especially after he basically admitted that he hasn't played drums in over two years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No attack, and I'm happy for all the great music they put out there, but 64 is too young to pack it in. Especially given the state of the "rock industry", it would be good to have Rush still out there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron2112 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 So if the band as a creative/touring unit is finally done, let's open the vaults and get those live recordings/videos out there! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rushman14 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 (edited) Confirmed what we already knew but it still gives me a pit in my stomach. At least I have those 60 Rush shows under my belt. Edited January 17, 2018 by Rushman14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edhunter Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Sounds like Alex is too polite to say "Neil f***ed us." 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patjnev Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 :rush: is over . Maybe Alex and Geddy will do stuff in the future. Neil owes us nothing and I hold no resentment for his retirement. Hell I am amazed it lasted as long as it did. I am happy they got into the RRHOF and had a fantastic final album and tour. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
