Bahamas Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 There are probably not many Rheostatics fans here (Etobicoke, Ontario band), but I "discovered" that Neil was part of their 3rd album.I have owned and played the CD only occasionally over the years.It's a fun and very diverse mix of pop, rock, folk and other creative collaborations between musicians. Well, on a recent road trip with a non-Rush fan friend, I added to our listening selection and at one point we agreed to go nostalgic - how about some Rheostatics?He did say at one point, thanks for not playing Rush.Upon return from my trip I looked over the liner notes and never knew that Neil had played on three songs: Rain, Rain, Rain; Palomar; and Guns. Cool, huh? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ytserush Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Neil was my gateway into the Rheostatics in '92. I found out he played on it so I bought it. Turned out I liked the whole album so I got a few more and liked those too. Good band. Wish I had the chance to see them live. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
