So now, Neil is officially just done with tours, not music?

I know you're busy wiping your tears and trying to get Peart's knife out of your back and all but did you read this thread and the links provided?

He's not done with touring or making music. He's done with fraroc. Now excuse me I have some frarocing to do and this one is gonna hurt.

 

Omfg. Hilarious.

Just get Earl to replace Neil.

 

He doesn't have to learn forty years of music since he already knows it.

 

It would be a win/win for all involved, and we would have a star within our midst.

 

You are so sweet! I am flattered!

Could you imagine drummer tryouts for Rush?

There are so many better drummers in the world than me!

That being said I better hit my drum room!!

 

Time for some Hemispheres in your honor!! :)

So yes mission accomplished. Strangely enough I must have some "bad wood" or your motivation made me hit the skins harder! I broke a NP 747 on "Book 2" and then cracked the other one in half on "La Villa!" RUSH ON!

 

Well, gee, Earl, I'm sorry. :(

It's ok! It happens!!! I love helping to keep Promark in business. I've been used the Promark 747 since they were created. Way before Neil's sig was on them! Just saying that I just don't use his sticks to be trendy. I love the Japanese oak over American hickory! It's just me!

 

Promark is the worst... Vater all the way ;)

To me, it just sounds like Geddy is being as optimistic as possible (probably for his own sanity) and there is a small chance that Geddy and Alex may be able to get Neil in for one more album

 

Just wait, in a few years it'll be time for Olivia to see what daddy does...
