Ron2112 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 This was over at RIAB....apparently, golfer Rocco Mediate is close with the band via Alex. He reports that Neil is still "hesitant," but is playing a fundraiser with Alex next month. At that point, there are supposed to be more discussions about future plans. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alien Girl Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Well, that's better news than the "Screw you guys, I'm going home...FOREVER" Neil gave us at the end of R40. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnRogers Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 If true that is a good sign. We need somebody on the inside of this "fundraiser". Someone check JohnnyBlaze's calendar. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be clear, it's ALEX and Rocco who are playing in the fundraiser. Honestly, I think the best we can hope for is a new album - but why would they? I hope I'm wrong.

EagleMoon Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 This isn't really new news. That person that recently got to talk to Alex and saw him playing said he mentioned they were talking about something later this year. Who knows if anything will come of it.

AnEggplant Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 I guess I don't understand why there's so much Neil hate? Has the guy not worked hard enough? Is it selfish for him to want to retire in his old age? Maybe I'm missing something he said? 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it selfish for him to want to retire in his old age? Maybe I'm missing something he said?:goodone: He only was part of a team that made 18 studio albums together, and a tour to support each one (and a couple extra tours to boot) over a 40+ year period. I know if I had millions of dollars and tendinitis in my shoulders, I probably would stop touring too. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 (edited) What it should say is that it is an old rumor slightly updated. Edited July 19, 2016 by Lorraine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wil1972 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 IF they do something ... and that is a big IF ... it sounds like it would be a new album and the timing sounds right based on the rumors. Since T4E they have released a new album every 5 years. Next year would make it 5 years (!) since CA was released. And while I know Neil owes us squat, I personally would like another album just so the studio album releases from each "phase" of their career would even out! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A new studio album would be amazing, even without a tour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upstateNYfan Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Making an album would have to be strictly a work of passion because it makes no economic sense without playing live. At this point in their lives, and with so many interests, why would they spend all that effort (and money!) without some sort of reward? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
