Mara Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Heard about this a month or so ago, but didn't know the details. If it's Drum Solo Week, I'd guess he has his own night? Surely he'll talk, and as he proved on Colbert, he's surprisingly pretty good at that kind of banter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liddybuck01 Posted May 27, 2011 Author Share Posted May 27, 2011 well, I think he will just perform. other people performing that week don't seem interesting enough to interview, so why would Neil be any different? also, wonder what else he will be doing in NY. more appearances??

TheBluePhoenix Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Hmmmmm. I watch Letterman every day and this has not yet been mentioned on the show. Although sometimes I do fast forward if he goes off on a "cranky old man" rant. They've done stuff like this in the past. Magician week and ventriloquism week come to mind. Hopefully they'll give each drummer a few minutes (at least) to go nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiriusRushFan Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Seems kinda fishy on the date of him being on Letterman though. Letterman's show is recorded live about 4pm, it is then broadcast later that night. If you look at the touring schedule, Neil would have to play the concert in South Carolina on the 8th, then haul ass 700 miles up to New York, get some sleep and get up and do the taping by 4pm the next day. Then, he has to haul ass another 1300 miles back down to New Orleans to play another concert the very next day on the 10th. This would all seem a bit hectic to me, traveling 2000 miles round trip just to spend 30 minutes doing the Letterman bit, in between two concert dates so close together. Maybe Neil's part of the show could be pre-recorded when Rush gets back from Europe after the Germany show on May 29th, before they even play in South Carolina. But that would be kinda strange also having to do that. It's a paradox! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nettiesaur Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 My take is that he'll tape it at the drum channel studios some time while they are on break, and the tape will be shown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeaveMyThingAlone Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 It doesn't actually say he will APPEAR on that particular show.... "Drum Solo week" could mean a lot of different things and my hunch would be that they will simply show one of Neil's solos or possibly even do a live feed to wherever he is at the time. But as others have said there's no way he'll appear at that broadcast...too hectic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
