>Rush are back without NeilThis feels wrong
>>127984530he wasn't even the original drummer
>>127984603That's like saying DC would be the same without Batman or 2000AD without Judge Dredd because they weren't in the first issue.
>>127984649>capeshit referencesorry, I'm not American
>>127984603And?>>127984649No, That's like Corey Taylor isn't the original signer of Slipknot while it's true nobody gives a fuck about the guy prior. Also Geddy Lee is jewish
>>127984603Mikael Akerfeldt also wasn't the original member of Opeth yet it's basically his band
say hello to your new neil peart!
>>127984773Would
>>127984773Nell Peart
Ticket prices are gonna be insane for this
>>127984773Don't know shit about her. How good is she? Will she play a ridiculous giant-ass drum kit? And most importantly, is she a lolbert Ayn Rand fan?
>>127984603Who cares. Neil made Rush what they were.>>127984685>>127984703Gilmour wasn't an original member of Pink Floyd, Phil Collins and Steve Hackett weren't original members of Genesis, Dee Snider wasn't an original member of Twisted Sister and Kirk wasn't an original member of Metallica. There are countless examples.
I was watching the video about this right now.People in the comments were saying they were crying or something. I love Rush, so as long as they're happy... Also before the cancer, Neil used to say he was a retired drummer and Geddy was always against this and he always said he wanted to play and it's been 6 years and a half later his passing they going to tour, it's fine.
>>127984530I'm all for them doing a 50th anniversary tribute thing with a guest drummer, but calling it Rush is the problem for me. Call it "Geddy & Alex of Rush" or something like that.
>>127984530Im ok with them touring but I feel like they should call it something else...a reference to a Rush song or something...
>>127984773Isn't Alex in a band with a girl who is like 40 years younger than him already? Is he doing this on purpose?
>>127984530Good. He was the weakest link. Less is more.
>>127984530Why does everyone have to virtue signal and find a woman specifically to be the replacement band member? And its designed to where you look like a sezist jerk if you speak against it. Its just really suspect and really retarded woke bullshit

>>127986551imagine thinking this is what happened...how twisted in your own brainworms you must be. what a sad child you are.
>>127986534Rush with just an 808 drum machine would be Kino
>>127986684not a good fit for rush at all
>>127984530Geddy needs to buy more basses that he will never play so he can sell another coffee table book, hence the tour. It's rough being a musician.
>>127986690she will not fuck you, faggot.
>>127986690Why exactly is it twisted? Explain yourself. Just bullying people with insults like a retard with no intelligence doesn't prove shit
I missed out on seeing Rush in the early 2010s, and while this won't be the true Rush, I can't lie that I really wanna still go see this version of them. Still though, this it shouldn't be called, Rush.
>>127985713Different Strings or Afterimage could be cool
>>127984530I don't care. I get to see Alex and Geddy.
>>127987243I got to see them twice. Time Machine and Clockwork Angels tours, the latter was their last tour in Europe I think so I missed R40. Very conflicted here, Neil was too big a part of Rush to just be replaced but at the same time, seeing them again would be nice.
>>127987461R40 was awesome. This seems to just be an anniversary tour to celebrate the band and Neil, and the new girl isn’t an official replacement member. I’m not crazy about them carrying on as Rush but I hope the shows are good enough to pardon that. If they keep doing more tours then it’ll be crossing a line into exploitation for me.
>>127987034>huurrdurrr>>127987220>Why exactly is it twisted?Cuz they picked her because she is an amazing drummer not cuz shes a woman. How retarded are you?
I just think it's funny that it took them 50 years to get a keyboardist
>>127984773She kinda looks like him. Slap that little African beanie Neil used to wear on her and she'd look the same.
>>127984530Glad I got to see them live in 2013 but Geddy's voice was already pretty far gone then (as evidenced by the setlist being 75% Signals/Grace Under Pressure/Power Windows tracks and almost nothing earlier or higher-pitched) so I can't imagine what it'll be like now.>>127984773Ah, they pulled a Linkin Park.
so is the new chick good? it just hit me that i have never heard any excellent female drummers. it's one of those instruments that imo requires male aggression, but ill keep an open mind :)
>First of all, congratulations, Lee and Lifeson>Hello, we like money>What inspired you to do a comeback tour without Neil Peart and to feature a female drummer to play with both of you?>Money
>>127985700Exactly. Otherwise it’s just Dave Grohl replacing Hawkins again.New line-ups need new names.
>>127984530any other Dream Theater fans wanna chime in on this pic here? looking like A Dramatic System of Chaos.
>>127984530Rush sucks
>>127986551It's a humiliation ritual

Will they play La Villa Strangiato?
>>127988995Based
>>1279846762000AD was a British comicbook
>>127989046I would think so. It would be strange to leave that out.
hope they come to the uk ive been sustaining myself on moving pictures tribute band shows
>>127989143Same but they didn't do R40 over here, good chance this doesn't come over as well.
>>127984603Geddy isn't even the original bassist/singer if you want to be pedantic, it was Jeff Jones who went on to play in the AOR band Red Rider. Yes, Rush was originally fronted by a black dude.
>>127989312Explains why they suck so bad
>>127989312I knew that part but I had no idea he was black. Black people existed in Canada back then? wow
>>127989366Yeah, he's a good musician but virtually nothing to do with what Rush became. I believe he's still friends with Alex, who's played on some of his solo stuff.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvRO5UNMnH0&
>>127989312Also Geddy's (other) best friend in high school was a black kid, the son of jazz great Oscar Peterson in fact. Funnily enough he was the one who introduced Ged to prog rock.
>>127989312Neruda is a good album.
>>127987461Clockwork Angels and R40 were the two I missed out on that I really should have made more of an effort to go to. Won't make that mistake thrice.
I saw the lil video they made, I believe them when they say they aren't trying to be Rush 2.0. They're even gonna have a keyboard player so it'll be different. They are very aware of what touring again means to their fans.
>>127989222noooooh well im delighted for them the announcement video was so cute
>>127987671He's probably considerably less retarded than a person that writes "cuz" in place of "because," ginger faggot retard!
>>127989222Rick Beato mentioned that this could be a way for younger fans who missed the real band to see their music played live, and while it couldn't recapture the old magic I do sympathize with that. We'll see how it goes.
>2 nights in fort worthbut why?
>>127990233Two different sets.
>>127990233even the shows are bigger in texas
>>127987457this. I'm going to the Ft Worth shows and it's going to be amazing. Nobody is Neil Peart, but she's a great drummer and worthy of the gig. The only people talking shit are the people not going to the shows. Fuck the haters, this will be a great tribute to Neil.
>>127990170>>127990222There is a chance they'll go beyond NA of course but I will stay skeptical.
>>127984530At least it's not the drummer's son like every other band does.
>>127990222Bring on that youtuber who shows how everything's a backing track
>>127989366Where do you think Harriet Tubman was sending them all?
>>127989755>touring under the rush name>will obviously be playing rush songs>it's not rush 2.0 tho...?
>>127984813calm down it's not like it's helix or something
>>127989081but taking it seriously is an American flaw
>>127989312>Red Riderone of the most underrated bands how does wee Canada produce so many good musicians?
>>127990549Do you mean Wings of Pegasus? Love those videos, but hate how sus they’ve made me of big modern live acts esp. with vocal processing
>>127989081>2000AD>"the majority of the book's sales came from the US"8 seconds on google.
>>127984676sup sanjeet>>1279913522000AD itself was never really sold in America it was colorized reprints in the 80's under the separate titles then bigger collections later. But this is a convo for /co/
>>127984530>Anika NilesWell color me surprised. She's super solid and can play fast linear chops as well as any nignog. I'm still surprised.Neil was busted after Freddy Gruber, very sluggish. Just be glad he cut Where's My Thing just before, that's Peart at his most powerful, old style. But yeah, Geddy's voice is still busted, otherwise it'd be worth it to hear the songs with a healthier drummer.
>>127984530not badhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7za0_9_rC8
>>127984530Shut up, faggot. This is the best we’re going to get. Be thankful they’re even doing this in the first place. Neil is gone. We can’t do anything about it.
>>127990888This isn't the "new Rush" or something like Linkin Park is doing. They're doing a tour in honor of Neil and because they love touring. They know Neil cannot be replaced and they know their fans know that.
>>127992181Pretty good, but what is the song she is drumming to? Sounds like a sweet jungle or DnB song.
>>127984826She was Jeff Beck's drummer in his final couple of tours, so she brings legitimate musical credibility.
>>127992171>Geddy's voice is still bustedWas Geddy's voice ever good though?
>>127994946He used to have a pretty good vocal range, C2 to B5. Not sure if he can pull off those high note anymore, though.
>>127994946Voice of an angel
>>127984603purists btfo
>>127990529at least it's not dave grohl
Portnoy must be mad they didn't choose him
Why did they hire a YouTuber instead of a proper, accomplished musician?
>>127996272How is she not a proper accomplished musician?
>>127984603>Rutsey intensifiesyou're not wrong
>>127996386because she doesn't patronize the self-appointed gatekeepers of who should be thought of as a -real- musician.we're gonna see more permutations of buttblasted "REEEEEEEE DEI!", which will get worse as the tour progresses and she proves that she's worthy of the throne.The louder the REEEEE the better the drummer.
Beato has entered the chathttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5N7D4JXpLRc
They should hire a singer as Geddy Lee's voice will probably be even worse than on their retirement tour.
