Thanx for the post. I’ve been a RUSH fan for well over 30 yrs now.
Most talented rock drummer ever.
Can't wait for fruition. Anything Neil does is just aces with me. A recording if him drumming his fingers on a phone book would be fine with me.
He has a cool web site full of drum links.
The guy does have some mad drumming skills.
Getty Lee is an awsome bassist,too bad the haven`t produced anything else as good as their classic Hemispheres, since then.
Whoa. Rush and Ice Hockey, in one article! Like, I’ve Bookmarked it — Beauty eh!
What? This isn’t about Rush Limbaugh? lol...:)
Rush not in the Rock n Roll HOF? Didn’t realize that. I’m sure that will be fixed soon.

Best band of all time (and I don’t even watch hockey).
Family Guy has a cut-away skit where Chester the Cheetoh is sniffing lines of Cheetos (as if it was cocaine) and says "OH MY GOD! NEIL PEART IS THE GREATEST F---ING DRUMMER EVER!"
“The other joke is that we (Rush) have not been put in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but now we’re in the Hockey Hall of Fame.
“I think, as Canadians, we’re satisfied.”
Gotta love it. Thanks for the post.
“Because, like with anything else, there’s bound to be a certain conservative backlash: ‘That doesn’t sound how it sounded before!’ That is human nature, to be comfortable with things they way they were, so I can only hope people will receive it as well as I mean it.”
I think this probably could relate to your comment about their music since Hemispheres. Most of their albums have taken me a couple of listens to get used to. (”Wow - this isn’t like the last one at all!”)
'Permanent Waves' and 'Moving Pictures' weren't too shabby either, ehhhh? :)
That’s got to be his practice set! I’ve never seen it, have you?
Well,you got me there,got my order wrong.But I pretty much stopped buying their stuff after Power Windows.
