Default Can you guys imagine if....

Can you guys imagine if Geddy Lee fired Neil Peart and replaced him with some shitty drummer that he found working at a McDonalds?

That would be hilarious.

Of course Geddy isn't retarded enough to do such a thing. But Billllllly on the other hand....

You know it never occurred to me until just now that Jimmy might actually be a better drummer than Mike

Geddy couldn't fire Neil, if anything it'd be the other way around. Rush is a true 3-way collaboration though

No hate on Mike... The issues with Corgan hiring an amateur and desperately trying to pull the wool over the fans eyes.

BTW- I was in this "path-finders" group for a while, and we had a field trip downtown Vancouver, and during our free time we ventured down to a big time shopping mall. A few of the ladies wanted to visit the Gucci store. So I tagged along and we saw Geddy Lee strolling throughout the store.

I stopped and said hello and talked about how I loved the tightness of their music and Geddy attributed it all to Neil. It was a cool experience and even cooler to know that he realizes what an important role his drummer makes in the band,

He's gotten better but he still hasn't gotten close to the league that the former SP drummers have been in. The difference is so extreme.

I tried to get on the Byrne train for awhile. But the guy just sucks man. He's outta his league.

4 minute melodic rock songs aren't exactly what I'd classify as "prog... rock"

Dude he's already been doing that.

Didn't he already compare Mike to some minor leaguer baseball player when he first let Byrne join the band?
