I know I've gotten a few laughs here but snakes and arrows really is my favorite album. It's the first one that I listened to and the one I go back to the most. I've never seen snakes and arrows love, I should give that a look.

Certainly an unpopular opinion but there's a lot of great music on S&A and like Kev said, it was refreshing to see them have the balls to put so much of it into the setlist when most bands their age are just coasting on their old songs. My favorite is Hold Your Fire which is frequently at the bottom of peoples lists, so I'm right there with you.

That was a great tour, largely because of those Snakes and Arrows songs and the Digital Man, Entre Nous, Mission set. All of those "Evening With" tours were totally amazing and the light show was outstanding as usual.  The tours during this century have always struck me as one big thank you to the fans.

Obviously have said this before, but Vapor Trails (original) Snakes and Arrows and Clockwork Angels are stone cold classics (especially what was played live.)

All their live shows from Vapor Trails onward were outstanding in production!  R30 being a personal favorite of mine. The band was a polished machine firing on all cylinders. 💯💥

Maybe I’m just missing that classic Queensryche sound. Toddryche don’t have it. Listening to Rage at the moment and missing what was once my favourite band.

They have a ton of videos on YouTube. they are great. I saw this cover of The Pass for the first time this weekend.   A bit different but I like it.

I don't know anything about this site. Are they legit? If so, apparently Geddy and Alex have written some material and plan on working together. Not sure what it would be or who may join them but I'm glad to see that they want to keep creating music.

The video of the interview is linked in the article, so the comments themselves are legit (that interview is a few months old already, I remember when it was first posted). As to whether or not they get around to doing anything though or with whom, who knows? It doesn’t say they’ve written anything yet though, just that Alex thinks they will eventually write more music together. The important paragraph:

”We still talk about it, and I’m sure we will. Of course, now with the pandemic, it’s kind of wrecked things for a bit. But we’re both eager to get back together and kind of get back into that thing that we’ve done since we were 14 years old that we love to do. And we work really, really well together. So we’ll see what happens with that.”

If they did something, it won't be called Rush. You can take that to the bank.

Have Geddy just play bass and get Claudio from Coheed to sing. Would have that classic Ged vocal vibe.

Love Coheed, but I don't want Claudio going anywhere near a Rush song either.

It would be great if they had a different singer and a different keyboard player. I would like to see Geddy just on the bass.

So, how about this?

Ted Leonard - vocals
Alex Lifeson - guitar
Geddy Lee - bass
Ryo Okumoto - keyboards
Gavin Harrison - drums

And to be honest, Ted might not be a stretch. He gave an interview years ago where he mentioned an older band reached out to him for a collaboration. This might be what it is.

I also tried to select a keyboard player that isn't a part of Spock's Beard, given that Ted is, but since the band has been quiet for a while now, I'd love to hear Ryo somewhere else.

Rush or Yes? (I have no secret knowledge myself, just that's who I would have guessed once I heard of the reach around out.)

I thought about suggesting a keyboard player, but part of the charm of Rush is that "trio" feel, where parts get balanced.  I get that it's all personal feel/taste, but I think I'd miss the magic of Lee/Lifeson if they were buried in a quar- or quintet.  I made the exception for drums, because they are the same instrument, and as a sort of indirect acknowledgement that Neil can't be replaced in any cosmic way by one guy.

I’d have guessed Kansas after Walsh retired in 2014, but I have no idea either and never heard of that interview with Ted before. I do know that Neal Morse originally asked him about singing in Flying Colors before Mike pushed for Casey McPherson. So I suppose that could be who he was talking about.

This is the interview. He avoids spilling all of the beans on 51:48 - apparently, an older band with a huge following called it a day, but two of the guys do not want to call it a day. We might as well put two and two together.  :P

It's also the interview where he reveals Neal considered him for Flying Colors before Mike suggested Casey. It worked out well for both SB and FC.

I do think Ted would be a great choice for a Rush-related project with Alex and Geddy. Heck, get Paul Craddick to do the drums even.

YYNOT are pretty great. Their original stuff isn’t bad either (though it’s full of Rush-isms).
