Unbridledlust Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Isn't it amazing that these three guys, out of all the humans in the world, were able to come together and do what they were born to do? Not just that, but with perfect compliment to each other's individual brand of musical genius??Like they were always three parts of a whole that just needed to find each other?Personally I am sort of blown away by that... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbridledlust Posted April 27, 2015 Author Share Posted April 27, 2015 Im just thinking about what would have happened to Rush if they didnt pick Neil for their new drummer They would have ended up in a completely different place since Neil became their primary lyricist... Did Geddy or Alex write any after he came onboard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always wonder how they came across Neil in the first place. He auditioned but who recommended him for the gig? Maybe I have heard this but I have forgotten.

Unbridledlust Posted April 27, 2015 Author Share Posted April 27, 2015 Do that. All of 2112 and A Farewell To Kings are great in my view... I had actually owned 2112 for the longest time, since I worked at a music store for a while and was trying to mk sure I had all the 'must haves' in my collection, regardless of whether I listened to them now or later.I listened to 2112 for the first time a few days ago...twice in a row, and really enjoyed. I tend to mainline stuff until I'm bordering on sick of it, then I save it for special occasions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EagleMoon Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Neil seems to be standoffish... It wouldn't surprise me at all if Neil was an Aspie actually That's not a very popular thought around here. There have been some pretty heated debates in the past about it by a few members who shall remain nameless. Neil seems to be plenty friendly and outgoing with the people he knows and feels comfortable with. It's just when the "fan thing" comes up that he has issues. He just wants to be an everyday guy. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he is an introvert with a knob-headed streak--He has shared more about his life and philosophies(through his writings) than any other rock musician that I know of. He just likes to be left alone unless he is with people he wants to be with. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue J Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 (edited) So that's an Aspie? Is that what that's referring to?? Rather indelicate, if you ask me (yeah, I know- no one asked me). But maybe it's an accepted term, and I'm just not aware of it. Edited April 28, 2015 by Blue J 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People keep mentioning it in relation to Neil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But maybe it's an accepted term, and I'm just not aware of it. It is an accepted nickname for Asperger's Syndrome. A friend with Asperger's calls himself that. It is a diagnosis on the Autistic spectrum, but not as bad. In general, Aspies are intelligent people that have at least moderate social anxieties.
