The Owl Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 In the past few years Alex has been a guest musician on several other's band's projects... from Porcupine Tree, to Tiles...etc I was wondering, if Rush were to have a guest musician on Clockwork Angels for say a guitar solo, or a guest vocal part who would you like to see appear on a Rush album, and you would think would fit in? - I would love to see Steven Wilson come in and return the favor and lay down an acoustic or a rhythm part to a track where Alex is playing lead... or even a small vocal part or backing vocal part... - I also think having Gavin Harrison's style of drumming might be interesting to hear on a Rush track..
The Owl Posted May 1, 2011 Author Posted May 1, 2011 Hell John Wetton has been a guest vocalist on more records in the last 5 years than his own (Asia or Solo)... why not pop up on a Rush record.

I think a NP/GH drum duet would destroy the earth with sheer awsomeness.
Oracle Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 Steven Wilson should return the favor that Alex gave on 'Fear of a Blank Planet' for Porcupine Tree. I would love to hear a Steven Wilson guitar solo in a Rush album!
Good,bad,andrush Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 MJK could provide some sick vocals in certain parts of the songs.

Imagine that! Gavin played with KC and that was godly... I can't believe what would happen if him and Neil played a simultaneous drum solo in the middle of the CA suite, if it does exist.

That would be cool, but to be honest Gavin would blow Neil away.

drbirdsong Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 It is very hard to imagine other drummers, bass players or guitarists on a Rush album so I would tend to think about guest appearances by a vocalist or another instrument (remember Ben Mink or Ameeeee Mannnnnn). Another lady's voice might be interesting or WOW! what about some horns?? Wouldn't that be cool (or awkward).

Horns on a Rush album...that might be the jazz Lerxst is looking for If they go with another female vocalist, I think Cyndi Lauper would be a good pick.

circumstantial tree Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 I can see Rush using a female vocalist again. Maybe Ann or Nancy Wilson of Heart?
Zanadoo Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 Would love to see some kind of symphony especially if this albums really is some sort of epic.

That would be cool, but to be honest Gavin would blow Neil away. Yes, of course he would. But I'm saying if they both played different rhythms at the same time...not a battle. Like imagine them on the percussion section of a symphony you wouldn't need anyone else! And imagine this then: Gavin on acoustic and Neil on electric, a la mystic rhythms. Now what about Maynard providing some backing vocals to make the darkest song on the album really stand out? Not any hardcore screams, but maybe a soft one or some of his famous whispers and sighs?

That might a good idea too. Maybe this time they could turn it up. I can barely hear the strings on Power Windows. They might as well be a synthesizer. Rush with a symphony would be something. If you see the Yes Symphonic dvd there is a part we some of the string players said that they follow Alan White more than the conductor because the drummer maintains the pace so well. Image Neal in the center leading an entire symphony. What a visual that would be.
Gompers Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 Oh, definitely Mike Portnoy. That comment could start a fight here.
USB Connector Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 Nobody. It just wouldn't be Rush if they had a guest musician other than a female support vocalist (Time Stand still). Any more than that would be just trying to get more people to buy the album.
