Frankie7 Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Oooh boy, low blow... Leave Neil alone, people. I know for sure that when my workday is done, I don't hang out at the office, I get the heck out of there as soon as is humanly possible! I have a life and Neil has one too (although I'm sure his is better than mine, but that's different story...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

o baterista Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 QUOTE (Spike @ Jul 23 2007, 01:07 PM) Neil actually explains why he does this in his book "Roadshow". He gets onto the tour bus and out of the venue as quickly as possible to avoid traffic, and get to his cycling destination for the next day. After the show he showers on the bus, eats (and drinks The Macallan!!), and he and Michael finish planning out the next day's ride. Their bus driver drives through part of the night while Neil and Michael sleep - so they can get up and ride their motorcycles to the next venue. AGREED..he always does this.....watch the vids.....

Cavorticus Posted July 23, 2007 Author Share Posted July 23, 2007 Again I say, "What the f**k!" because this was my first Rush show ever and I was amazed to see this. It was a simple question. So I registered on therushforum to get some insight and all I got was (mostly) bullshit "why bash Neil?" whiney bitches. So it seems to be normal. OK. But it is still bizarre behaviour. I worked on Crosby, Stills, and Nash, Steely Dan, Def Leppard, and Tom Petty last year and never saw this sort of odd-ball sprinting out the back like a friggin' maniac before. You all can suck it. Knee-jerk defending of a band based on a simple question just shows your jerkiness. Since it will be my last Rush show ever, you don't need to bother to reply. I won't be back.

Thank you to those peeps that offered some insight and a real answer. See, here's the problem...you could've asked a legit question and received a legit answer, but you had to include the "he's a dick" choice. That's the unnecessary part of your "question"...the part that's going to piss some "peeps" off. The part that's going to guarantee that you receive some unfriendly responses from some of the "peeps". Oh, wait a minute, I forgot...you took your ball and went home.

Their bus driver drives through part of the night while Neil and Michael sleep - so they can get up and ride their motorcycles to the next venue. Right. He actually explained it quite clearly. Whats funny though, if that if Neil is really in a hurry to leave, hell sprint off the stage without hardly waving. Ive related this funny story before, so skip if you remember. Camden NJ for R30 show, the end of the show came, and Neil ran off the stage so fast that he actually was waving to the back of the stage. He was running so fast that his brain hadnt registered "youre not facing them anymore, you can stop waving" and for a couple of strides was waving to the empty back of the stage. I wasnt insulted, I was amused, and laughed like hell. But to the quote here: thats his bag; he sprints off and is stripping down to shower while theyr epulling away in the buss to beat traffic, and drive away for a period of time, then stop somewhere where he can sleep and then takoff on his bike. Sometimes, as mentioned in Roadshow, some idiots try to follow the bus (its not exactly stealthy) and measures have to be taken. Oh, and the bus he had for R30 had bedbugs courtesy of Cher.

Room 34 Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Neil is not at the concert venue to "chill" backstage or to be anyone's buddy. He's there to do his job, which is play a kick-ass show. When he's done, he gets out, because he's back on his own time, and he'll do what he needs to do to make sure that time isn't compromised. More power to him. It's a shame things are such that he needs to do that, though. I used to think it would be cool to meet one of my rock heroes, but I read some stuff Robert Fripp wrote, and I realized, it really wouldn't. I have nothing useful to say to them, and they have no godlike wisdom to bestow upon me, either. Our relationship begins and ends at the music. So I leave it at that.
