Peart Replaced? 3 shows - Progressive Rock Music Forum

Hi,

I don't know ... I think I would go to Las Vegas to see family and the Raiders, but not sure I would want to see RUSH. The Cirque appears still closed, so, there really is nothing else in there worth spending money for/on!

... none of the hits, none of the time ... favoritism is not an artistic merit! www.pedrosena.com

I think Rush deserve a break, Geddy was struggling with his vocals on the last tour anyway.

If they ever want to play Rush songs again, I hope they will not do it under the Rush name though...

Plenty of drummers around. I bet if Mike Portnoy got a call to fill in, he would pack up instantly. LOL

Despite his age I think Carl Palmer could pull it off. His CP ELP Legacy band shows he's still got it when it comes to the heavier stuff.

As for the 5 songs I really don't have an opinion on that.

That's actually a good idea. And they would not call themselves Rush but Lifeson, Lee & Palmer and play 2112, Cygnus X-1, Cygnus X-1 Book II, La Villa Strangiato and YYZ. So, there you have it.

I would suggest Marco Minnemann, though I know this will never happen.

Wrong style of drummer I would think. Not that he couldn't play, but he's really more to the jazz end than the heavy end IMO.

Thank you for supporting independently produced music

I'd like to see Lee and Lifeson do more of a jazz performance of Rush material --
Geddy Lee in full scat mode, flinging it out with aplomb, might be fun.

I think someone like Eric Harland could pull it off well and help them to come up with interesting re-interpretations and improvisations of Rush works:

And I would much rather someone who doesn't try to imitate Peart, but instead brings a very different style to the table.

^ What I think would be sad would be Lee and Lifeson without Peart pretending like they're still Rush. So to get a drummer who plays in the very same idiom as Peart, or worse sounds like him I would not respect. If doing the material, I think a very different approach and hopefully some new material would be good and maybe some original material of the drummer (if a general composer as well) they could perform. I wouldn't call it Rush. It's not something others might like, but it's what I would like.

Ugh....not Palmer, he said some negative stuff (don't remember what exactly) about Neil, not him. Marco has played with Alex, but I think Marco is too hyper. Maybe Gavin Harrison and for sure Portnoy but he would have to remain calm on stage and keep his ego in check.

I'd choose John Macaluso. Watched him live in Turkey once too. Amazing drummer. Very versatile too.

great drummer, he was in the short lived progressive metal band Ark. His drumming on Burn the Sun is exceptional.

If there's anything that would keep Portnoy's ego in check, it would have to be playing with his heroes. I imagine you put him in the same room as anyone from Rush, The Beatles, Black Sabbath, or a few other bands and he'd pretty much shut up and listen.

At least I'd like to imagine he would, lol.

Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :)
