I guess Peart would have his own motorboat to follow the cruise ship between gigs. It’d be a jet ski because he’s such a Ghost Rider...but he’d be followed by Mosbach riding his own jet ski. And instead of describing tumbleweeds and sedimentary rock on the winding roads, he’d describe crustaceans and barnacles. Workin’ them angelfish :P 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airship2112 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 I would hope the setlist would include Red tide,natural science, the fountain of lamneth, 2112, the wreckers, alien shore, Between the sun and moon, the way the wind blows, spindrift, sweet miracle, virtuality, and Xanadu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Relayer2112 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Why would Rush have announced a farewell tour when.... 1. They didn't need the publicity to bring out the fans for R40 2. They didn't want to close any future possibilities, however remote they might seem. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thizzellewashington Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 The original press release for R40 said it was likely their last tour, and then a year later they released a feature-length documentary about coming to terms with being done, so I'm not sure what the confusion is. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraroc Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Rush doing anything else would require Neil to actually get off his ass and come out of retirement, which we all know he's not going to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the most part, it was the fact that they gave us mixed signals until Alex finally confirmed that they were done. For me, I knew they were never going to tour again when I heard the rumors that Neil threw a hissy fit and threatened to quit halfway through R40 after Alex and Geddy proposed more dates.

fraroc Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 (edited) You can't really fault him for wanting to retire, as he is in his 60s. But however, despite it being an unconfirmed rumor, I simply don't find it unrealistic that Neil got angry with Alex and Geddy for proposing more dates. If retirement was really on his mind, then I could picture an ultimatum being said. Edited March 5, 2018 by fraroc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entre_Perpetuo Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 I never begrudge Neil, even if it's kinda his fault the band are done. The man lost the love of his life and their only child within a year of each other to a senseless accident and tragic illness. I'm honestly shocked he ever came back after that. After he started again with his new love and they had a child, it was only going to be a matter of time before Neil's parent self outweighed his musician self. He lost his last child and his former wife just way too soon, and beyond that he probably barely got to spend much time with them from being on the road and recording music. He wasn't about to screw that up again. I hope he has a long life ahead of him to truly enjoy life with his family without music to distract him. But if he was willing, I still would be thrilled with any more music he ever decided to make. Greatest drummer of all time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thizzellewashington Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 (edited) I just can't bring myself to understand the resentment many on this board have for a guy in his 60s who doesn't need the money deciding after 40 years that he doesn't want to do an incredibly physically demanding and travel-intensive gig anymore, especially with a young child after what he went through in the 1990s.

HemiBeers Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 I'm holding out for the Rush cruise! They’re too good for an all-you-can-eat, gaudy interiored, fat bastard cruise. P.S. I enjoy cruises. :) :) Yeah, I can't quite picture them there! I was just surprised to see how many bands do them! Basically, almost everyone, except the A++ listers like U2, Elton John, and Springsteen. There are cruises with KISS, Styx, Yes, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Joe Bonamassa, Marillion, Bad Company, etc etc. The pay must be good! I've never been on one. My sister lives near Tampa and has been on a few but her stories (plus those of a friend that worked for Norwegian Cruise Line) have left me wondering about ones on really big ships. I have a friend who's nuts for European river cruises and those look like a lot of fun! There are smaller ship ones that do the Alaskan inside passage or the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence river and those look really interesting as well. Maybe in a few years. https://www.rocklege...se.com/artists/ Maybe someone could talk Geddy or Alex into this one!Neil would never go for that unless they could give him his own boat that they tow a quarter mile behind them.

HemiBeers Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Ughhhh....whenever I see the word 'cruise' and immediately interpret it as 'stuck on a boat'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
