GeminiRising79 Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Imagine if Alex passed up on Neil during the auditions for the new drummer. It is well-known that Alex didn't like him from the get-go. What unbelievable luck. They didn't even realize his colossal potential as a lyricist either. Rush should consider naming their next album "Syzygy" to commemorate that first historical meeting they had back in the infancy of Rush. This term has several significant meanings that apply to the situation. The planets were certainly aligned during this monumental moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowdog2112 Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Neil wasn't doing that well without them either, it was just as lucky for him. There's a synergy between all of them that makes it work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfratt Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 QUOTE (Screvato @ Mar 8 2008, 07:33 PM) I was lucky I found all three of them... Ditto. I was actually lucky that a 21 minute long song called 2112 looked intriguing enough to give a first listen. After that, I never looked back.

Yes, because he was better. He still plays a double bass drum kit, and writes lyrics that fit into songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
