now that is a very good idea!!

I was thinking of the same idea.

I saw Geddy a few nights ago and he said Dave Grohl made the same suggestion.

Sounds like your first girlfriend dodged a bullet.

😅 great pretender you are

only if you can be on rhythm guitar too!

I did Jeff...I read all the comments. All my best to you

he's awesome- I also don't think his approach to the kit is anything like Neil's (it's probably pretty advanced comparatively). Virgil and Sherninan need to cook up some new Planet X stuff

You could have mentioned Andy ....

To tell the truth, I thought about it, but I didn't want to seem like I was sucking up to him.

@@jjdiazmiro ... doesn't matter , ..I did it 😄

Ok...but what is your reasoning?

@@AndyEdwardsDrummer the ultimate destination for our physical being is the death of the flesh. Where go beyond is path that we had to choose while in life. The fork in the road. Now making a choice can have consequences ( for you and others as well). Those consequences can looked upon as determined due to your choice. But your choice is still yours to choose. Anyway I’m just another voice in the debate on freewill. Just thoughts and beliefs that I have. You can agree or disagree. I enjoy the discussion

Well it is stated in the tune that it's a choice to make and no one is free of responsibility which seems to be the conflation quite often- "I have to do X, there for I'm not free" isn't "freewill" as it's defined traditionally by religious types or as Neil is using it here.

I think Ringo should join them

Rush was formed in 1968 and Neil joined a band that had a major release in 1975. Point being, it is what it is- betrayal is far too strong

I have heard bits. I am drumming for Tim at the moment too!!!

after making 500+ videos I have learnt that to make a video that really discusses death, I need to come up with a click baity title like this....

@@AndyEdwardsDrummer Yes I get it, Picked up some some of it. Sorry to hear this. Good luck to you and your family Andy

here's the thing, Alex and Geddy are Rush. Round and round it'd go. It's largely semantics at this point given everyone knows what happened.

Or even even Nate Wood...that would be my choice

They have every right to come back and tour as Rush. However, I know the fanboys ( yes Rush has many fanboys). The fanboys wouldn't except them. Rush has always been a band of individuals. Fanboys hated both Geddy's and Alex's Solo albums that were that nothing like Rush. There were splits in the fan base once Signals came out. Geddy and Alex are two completely different people now than during the Rush years.. I would love to see Alex and Geddy create new music for their own selves, not for the fanbase.

@@scottmcgregor4829 Ok but Neil Peart had to work his ass off & was permitted to take nothing for granted. If he did he'd be like so many other poets, writers & drummers in the world performing as almost literal puppets. To be clear I know myself it's hard work to be a good puppet. I don't disparage it. I just cite it to illuminate how much harder it is to be yourself the way Peart was himself. The risk of failure in being sustainably successful at being oneself is MASSIVE! You know, one way of being a puppet is to be slavish to one's own past successes -- something Peart implicitly asserted in interviews and for which, e.g., Moving Pictures nevermind Permanent Waves or even 2112 would have never happened had he done so. So yeah granted, Lee & Lifeson have every right to tour & play the hits as Rush. They started the band! But Peart became an essential ingredient for Rush's sound & work as they evolved, and that ingredient was an explicit promotion of change as something to welcome as a friend not fear or disparage. Lee & Lifeson are a part of that beautiful legacy & helped Peart confront it during his own darkest days with their own strengths. I'm just saying I miss it is all, the everchanging and not strictly nostalgic Rush. Maybe I'm wrong and/or selfish to feel this way but right now it's how I feel about it.

@@johnnylayton1672 that is the very reason that I think that it's a bad reason for Rush to try another go around as Rush.. older fans hate changes in music. Most so-called fans hated their solo albums went completely different directions musically, many fans stepped off the Rush train in the 80s and early 90s because of the music the musical directions that they took. Geddy and Alex are different people and musicians from our our teen memories. People and drummers to often forget that the master himself Buddy Rich was a child prodigy at age two. He never had to work at being amazing. His best friend Mel Torme. Once said when he was at Buddy's house that. He said " let's mess around on the drums". Buddy in his usual manner said " what?? I don't have any goddam drums around here. Why would I want drums around here.!!??" Mel gave him the captain obvious answer and said " to practice, don't you need to practice??" Buddy just replied "why??". It's true, Buddy never practiced. Year's of practice carries very little weight, when it comes to stature,or deserving accolades.

@@scottmcgregor4829 I seem to have misread or failed to catch any edits you may have made to your first response please forgive me. My last response was a double-down in response to a misperceived counter and instead we are actually in much agreement as mutual Rush fans. And yeah, Buddy Rich remains my favorite for his muscular yet virtuosic drumming. I don't find a psychological men-feminine dualism & its academic reconciliation compelling for regarding music's importance anywhere near as much as actual men-women unions, and so people like Rich & Peart are easier for me to empathize as mature, full artists as aggressive drummers who rarely if ever show a sensitive side required by say a Norah Jones song despite that it catches my ear also. I think social media & its feature for engagement however hollow has been a massive shift for media. So many people engaging in it do so now to seek feedback which many older generations would consider a lack of not a futher step in personal development. Were Peart a young man today would he regard individuality so important even having been exposed to Ayn Rand's work? Who knows but it IS a chink in the armor I tried to construct to defend my own argument -- as Peart himself was unquestionably influenced as an artist by both Rich & Rand.

Carl Palmer could do it easily😮

@@edljnehan2811 Stewart Copeland maybe as well

@@edwardcapobianco2975 oh good another Ed haha Stewart Copeland a h m a y b e he certainly has the chops and the speed so yes however what makes Palmer a better candidate is the sheer complexity of elps music which was kind of what rush were going for when they started. Carl Palmer and Neil Peart were more similar in their styles and certainly Carl influenced Neil Peart I think more in the ways of a percussionist with all of the little bells and whistles that go along with being a percussionist instead of just a rock and roll drummer. I would also consider Aynsley Dunbar who after all was the drummer for early Journey when they were a progressive rock act before Steve fairy ruined the band. Aynsley Dunbar was probably one of the greatest progressive rock drummers I've ever seen. And I also believe Terry Bozzio could fill those shoes especially after seeing him with UK. And of course Rush could also do the video thing kind of like Carl Palmer is doing on the ELP Legacy tour. Whatever they do they better do it fast because none of these guys are spring chickens anymore

@@edljnehan2811 I saw bozzio drum with Jeff Beck, real good

Saw Greg lake with Ringo years ago
