Tombstone Mountain Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I read in the Yukon Blade Grinder that instead of a string ensemble Rush decided to just bring on the entire group of "Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem" as well. ..Animal insisted on it! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally, I mean how long was this new guy Neil going to ride on the coattails of Geddy and Alex?I couldn't agree with you more. And it is a good thing that Neil has already found seasonal work posing as Santa Claus. http://www.therushforum.com/index.php?/topic/85758-neil-peart-as-santa/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
