Most seem to feel that if Alex and Geddy are happy , that's a wonderful thing. She is a great drummer.
I love Rush , just not a big fan of their music.

She's going to be doing a fine job. I'm a little surprised to see Ged and Alex going on tour, but I'm happy for them. Would love to see the show, but ticket prices are outrageous. Also, they went out so spectacularly on the R40 tour, that that's the way I want to remember them.

Das deutsche Ponytailwunder even sounds more lively than Neil "the human metronome" Peart!

Rush is Alex and Geddy's legacy and they can do as they see fit, I am very happy for them that they are back to doing what they love.

They are giving details I wasn't aware of.  I'm very glad things are working out.

I like her playing, it's perhaps a bit more organic than Neil's very mathematical one.

Besides, as my late good mum always used to say when widowers or widows remarried a tad bit earlier than convention would recommend, "No one has come back yet."

Who's gonna do the lyrics in the future though?  :mrgreen:

Already got tickets for the first of the two Glasgow dates for me and my daughter... she was 13 when she saw NP in 2007... for her it will be 20 years since she first saw Rush... for me it will be 50 years...
