garyg7133 Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Not sure if this was hashed out somewhere else, but Sussudio is a word that popped into Phil's head. It's not a girl. I'd take Tim Alexander over Portnoy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tombstone Mountain Posted August 2, 2015 Author Share Posted August 2, 2015 Listen to Phil, Neil. Listen to Phil!Don't think he's listening, according to Kevin J. Anderson. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HemiBeers Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 I liked it even more than the previous one!!! Hey, the upper view of Neil's setup posted above has 08 sides...as in Octavarium...*hint hint* Are you saying Neil is trying to be like Portnoy?! No...but if Portnoy wants to carry on the Rush torch with Alex and Geddy, the door should be opened!But who's gonna write the lyrics? Geddy or Alex? I can see that, but the name should be Rush w/Portnoy No way would I accept any drummer in Rush other than Neil (or any other 'replacement' member). At that point, you might as well just listen to tribute bands. Sincerely, Serious as a heart attack. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The end. Time for one door to close, and another to open. The Yukon Blade Grinder dialed me up, and told me about the scenario. I just couldn't leave them hanging, so here goes. Saturday you will play the Forum in that dangerous shithole known as LA. The last Rush concert will bring many to tears...out of love...and from a love lost. It seems in music, as in life, when the last note is played or the final breath is drawn, we sit in shock over the finality of it all. No doubt to be the case here. Forty years of sweat. Forty years of joy. Forty years of tendinitis development. It all hurts. So soak it in. I remember laying my sticks down on the floor tom after my final concert with Genesis. Elation wouldn't be a good word to describe my feelings. Relief was more like it. I did my bit for the band, and was ready to move on to other pastures to see what lay beyond my purview. Something else was out there and I needed to find out for myself what exists "beyond the cymbals". Boy was I an idiot. I missed my friends. Your gig is a gravy train on biscuit wheels old chap. Don't let it go. Persevere until you drop. You've got a full tank, as witnessed from this tour. The tabloids raved about the band. Not one ill review to be found, except one on some website called "The Rush Forum"...written by a complete tosser. Don't quit and let your belly hang over your belt. I know the story of "being" there for your family. I respect that so much Neil. I respect it so much that I think you should put their asses on a tricked out bus, and take them with you to see America again and again. But that's just me, your friend Phil. Do us a favor. Stay in the game. Play when you want to play. Record when you want to record. Never give up performing with Alex and Geddy. What you have is too special. Your little one will certainly miss her Uncle Dirk and Uncle Lerxt. Wouldn't want to deprive her of that now would you? Take it from me, a man who left his mates to put on his Mr. Jangles dancing shoes. Sure I made millions. I sold more records than when I was with Genesis. Made the papers and everything. To this day I still ask myself "What if"? Don't be that guy.http://i341.photobucket.com/albums/o371/x1yyz/phil%201_zpsdeavcm8h.jpgYour friend and fellow drummer,Phil P.S.--Where's that double bass pedal I loaned you back in 2005? I need it. P.S.S.--You must visit Goatnut,TN...there's this really cool cave. Words to live by Neil! You owe it to yourself! Besides its not like you can sing and play keyboards like Phil.

I have a very good friend of mine who is actually very close to Phil. Especially when he was on the road touring with Genesis and the solo shit. He just sent me a text confirming that Phil really did write this letter. Edited August 12, 2015 by RUSHHEAD666 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
