    I'd have loved to be there too. I (sadly) missed not only the Snakes and Arrows tour but the 2nd go-around of the "Snakes and Arrows LIVE" tour. Feck !!!!


    I thought they were still touring recently?

    They are but they've already been to the West Coast. (Southern CA and the like)

    I've also heard it RUMOURED that this would be their "last tour for a while".

    I hope that isn't true.

    Sorry man. Thank goodness for YouTube.

    Last tour for a while? Do they expect to come back in their wheelchairs?
  4. Their last tour have all been very spaced. 2002, 2004, 2007. Maybe 2010 or 2011.
  6. Can't believe the news. Baker and Peart in a span of months...
  7. Never been a huge Rush fan but Neil Peart is one of the greatest drummers of all time. R.I.P.
  8. Wow, I didn't know. Just read some articles. Brain cancer. I have lots of Rush music. Great band. What a drummer Neil was. Happily saw them once. R.I.P. Neil Peart.
  9. I never saw them.
  10. The guitarist in my band is doing a live stream of 'Name That Rush Tune', some good fun while we're all in lockdown, if anyones free to watch.
  11. Scanning Threads today I get the impression Rush fans are reacting to the announcement of shows with Anika Nilles on drums - filling the enormous void left by the passing of Neil Peart; the same way as U2 fans did to the idea of U2 playing at Sphere without Larry. Some are all for it, some are totally opposed to the idea and others are questioning how bad they’re going to sound with this relatively unknown drummer. All sounds very familiar.

    If I was a rush fan I’d be thrilled. The chance to see your favorite band play again after it seemed like a definitive NO should be exciting, emotional and celebratory. And besides all that, Anika is an absolute powerhouse on the kit. I’m sure it will awesome. Plus the aspect of different sets each night….. not sure what any true fan would complain about. But then again, people generally love to complain.
