New Drummer for Rush

[Fridge]

I think there's a couple of posters in this thread who need to develop a keener sense of irony and sarcasm :eyeroll:

 

I am sure that most posters get the irony and sarcasm. The point is that this trolling in every Peart-related topic isn't funny. Its boring and ruins any real conversation. Maybe some posters need to come up with new jokes instead.

 

You can NEVER have too many "Neil is a dick" jokes

Sting just announced a residency in Vegas.

 

Therefore, Rush - with Peart - will announce a residency in Vegas.

New drummer = New jokes....problem solved. :D

Maybe they need Shrimpton to join up. Is he still alive and kicking?

The guy kept himself in great shape, with all of his limbs, shouldn't he have been able to survivdd that?

 

Such is fate, I guess. RIP Mick.

i guess Ginger Baker is too old, eh? He would spark things up in the band! :)

He has been known to be a bit volatile.

I would kill to see Dave Lombardo fill in for Neil. He is amazing, precision player

One of the best I've ever seen live.

Gavin Harrison would be my choice if I thought for one moment Rush should continue without Pearl. I don’t.

Seems like a likeable chap. What could go wrong?

Not me.

 

I know the difference between love and lust. :P

With the lingerie maybe, but certainly not with that hand technique. :o

 

Not a fan of the music, but the drumming is solid:

 

[BigMontanaSKY]

Vegas residency for sure.

Why aren't GedLee playing shows with a, or several, alternating, drummers?

 

Believe it or not Neil isn't impossible to copy.

 

A 'precision' studio drummer such as Simon Phillips could seem to handle it.

 

Could Taylor Hawkins? ... I don't know as much about him but he seems highly skilled.

 

And Alan White or Bill Bruford minus forty years.

 

And unfortunately Jeff Pocaro passed in 1992.

 

And maybe even a YouTube drummer a la the guy who now fronts Journey.

 

You are killing me in a great way.

 

I've been typing about Simon Phillips doing a project with Geddy and Alex for years!!

 

Neil will alway be my number one.

But now that he is retired, the greatest drummer on the planet is Simon Phillips.

I met Simon after a Protocol gig. We talked about his recording with Judas Priest.

I wish I asked him if he would ever do a record with Lee Lifeson.

 

Hell, I'm sure he would in a heartbeat.

 

"Closer To the Heart" baby.
