rushgoober Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 QUOTE (trenken @ Mar 26 2010, 09:01 AM) I wont even read his stories on his site anymore. First of all its some of the most boring shit ive ever read, secondly he clearly has no desire to talk about Rush. I dont care about what this guy likes to do in his spare time, he's a nobody to me outside of what he does in Rush, so if he wants to be a dick outside the band, fine with me. I'm only interested in his writings if they concern Rush too, but I don't think he's a dick or anything. He's entitled to live his life the way he wants it, and for those who do want more of him, he has written a zillion books and blogs, so it's not like he's secretive. He might be the most open member of the group. He just doesn't do meet and greets or many interviews. So? I only care about his music, so that's just fine with me.

BUB Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 I guess the reason he do so many book related interviews, is because his publishing house "force" him. Without publicity, your book dies within few weeks. I released a book in october last year, and i had no control over the book release at all. It`s expected that you do the interviews, signings etc you`re offered. He`s big in the music world, but small when it comes to books. I guess he`s doing what he told.

GeminiRising79 Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 For you guys who like to think that Neil's antisocial nature precluded him from ever wanting to fame in the first place- Do you think that if he knew (from his original audition) he'd become fabulously famous and wealthy he would never have signed on with Rush? He distinctly knew the world/lifestyle of a rockstar before ever becoming one. The problem is that he deeply desired all these "great" things and then once he got everything he yearned for he decided to change his tune.

The guy forced himself upon him when Neil was trying to leave after a concert. It was very obvious that Neil wanted to get out of there and get out of there fast. And you should never force yourself on anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
