The Rush appreciation thread

JD wrote: Well put together for sure. Only issue I have is his complete lack of acknowledging Carl Palmer's influence as a drummer that opened the door for Neil to explore his eventual potfolio. Including...fast rolls down a chain of tuned toms, drum solos constructed with true musical phrasing, rotating drum kit, electronic drums. Albeit, in his own style and fashion. I'm sorry, I think Neil is in the top 3 rock drummers for innovation and performance, but to not understand or even include CP's contribution to this topic is, in my opinion, negligent or uninformed. Still, a really nice video.

Had not seen this tribute before, just popped up on my YT feed....well done, not sure who this drummer is other than a general fan. I think he did a good job.

No, I'm not suggesting they would ever call themselves Rush again but I get the feeling they might want to play in a band together again at some point. If they do I wonder if they would consider Mike Portnoy. I think he would be the most logical choice. Is there someone else who would be just as appropriate? Maybe Dave Grohl. I can't really think of too many others though. Maybe Marco Minnemann or Gavin Harrison too but they're probably too busy. Mike is probably busy too but something tells me he would make room in his schedule.

This cover of "Anthem" came out a couple of months back by quite the collection of musicians.

I agree with you, but with the Covid lockdown forcing people to stay home, etc. I thought it would be a good idea to start another one and let people enjoy themselves. The admins are hit or miss here so who knows when they will be available to unlock an old one. You dig?

Any other place will send you to the old original thread and lock the new one up.
