treeduck Posted February 5, 2016 Author Share Posted February 5, 2016 Can you imagine today's Neil joining a band like the 1974 era RUSH? He'd hold his nose and run out the door! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Didn't he almost do that back then? He brought his drums to the audition in garbage cans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 (edited) His future band mates describe his arrival that day as somewhat humorous, as he arrived in shorts, driving a battered old Ford Pinto with his drums stored in trashcans. Peart felt the entire audition was a complete disaster. While Lee and Peart hit it off on a personal level (both sharing similar tastes in books and music), Lifeson had a less favourable impression of Peart. After some discussion, Lee and Lifeson accepted Peart's maniacal British style of drumming, reminiscent of The Who's Keith Moon. Neil was into Keith Moon, Alex into Jimmy Page and Geddy was Janis Joplin playing John Entwistle Growing up sucks . .

I don't think there's any doubt he still loves Moon...his set up on R30 &R40 was designed as a Moon tribute...and ElDarko has a trigger pad with the Who bullseye pattern....he still remembers his influences... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
