"Lifeson and Lee confirmed that the band will never do a show unless all three musicians agree to take part. "It's not like you just get new members of a band and just go for it," said Lifeson. "RUSH has never been a band like that. We'd never, ever do something like that."

John Rutsey called - he wants his drum stool back...

I always chuckle when people bring up John Rutsey as "proof" that Rush is in fact one of those bands that has no problem changing members and continuing, contrary to what they say.

Okay, that's not true.  Sometimes I just shake my head sadly.

Although Rush already had an album at the time, the replacement of John Rutsey happenned in the really formative years of the band. The band only developed its true and strong identity with Neil in the band. This seems the thought of the band and almost the entire fan base, I believe. And this happened so long ago, so I guess it's okay the band and us to leave this out of the statistics.
Anyway I hope that Lee and Lifeson will work together in the near future. With Neil or not, I believe they will always have a great musical partnership!

Agree.  It's a little interesting to imagine the alternate universe in which Rutsey stayed with the band.  My guess is they might have done one or two more albums and then disappeared and we'd have missed out on a LOT of good music.

That was awesome..."He's like a crow".   :lol

I was more amused by the story about Geddy Lee crashing his giant owl into the CN Tower.

Onto real things.  I FINALLY got to watch Dan Rather's interview with Geddy.  What a fantastic job Dan did, and Geddy is so ingratiating -- to say nothing of being a good sport in having to cover some of the subjects for the umpteen dozenth time.  When it got to the end and Geddy was talking about all of the things he's doing to occupy his time, I felt sad but, at the same time, so very happy for a person I don't personally know.

I also saw a little article about Neil becoming one of very few people to visit all of California's Channel Islands, and one of the comments was some idiot whining about how Neil can go island hopping but can't be bothered to play the drums.  It just baffles me how some folks feel like Neil and Geddy (and musical artists in general) owe them something.

Seems to me like he's really enjoying life right now. I think it's great. 

Some people seem personally offended that the band is over and feel the need to blame Neil.

Neil has earned it.  He gave 40+ years of his life to the craft, and was widely recognized as one of the best if not the best.  If he wants to retire and ride his motorcycle and/or write books and/or just chill with his family for the rest of his life, that's fine with me.  Sure, I'd love to hear more from him and from Rush, but if it's not gonna happen, it's not gonna happen.

I totally agree with it and I think the bolded part above is the only and the real motive for Neil to not want to continue with Rush anymore. Although it has been said that he is having physical issues (and I believe they really exist at least, at some extent), I guess this is kind of Neil giving some "acceptable justifying" for the Rush fans for his retirement. From what I recall (and if I understood right, my english isn't very good ;)), if you saw the "Time Stand Still" docummentary, at some point, the guy who was the Neil's partner in his motocycle's rides, said that Neil, a lot of times, rode the motorcycle for 8 hours (or something like that) before a show at the evening of the same day. Well, if you are around your 60's and do that, probably you will have some pain in almost all your body during your perfomance on drums in a 2,5 hour show. :biggrin: I guess this happens even if you are at your 20's! :lol By the way, IMO that docummentary really shows that Neil already was a bit distant from the band, not from Alex or Ged in a personal level, but from what represents to be in a band or in the music industry.
Anyway, Neil or anyone has the right to enjoy life the best way he/she thinks so. Rush made great music and shows and divided this with us, making our lives much better, so we are quite even I think!

Although he's always been like that, especially since he returned to touring with Rush in 2002.

Don't know if any of the screens are reversed, but it appears he plays guitar lefty but has the drums set up in a traditional right handed alignment.  Either way he nails the songs and even the guitar tones and drum tunings.  Extremely well done.
