Criticizing the opinions of others just demonstrates one’s insecurity. It kind of sad, really.

IMO.

 

[climber]

holy crap folks... looks like they're having fun playing the music they love. what's the problem here?

 

[bassGtar]

oh ya they would much rather listen to this krap ...

It’s bizarre, but you make a good point. Most people probably would.

 

[Nev375]

It's kind of upsetting to me that someone would sum up the value of a person's entire life to who they were when they were at their lowest.

Life ain't always perfect and I feel sorry for anyone who carries around such high expectations for everyone and everything that they can't experience the joy and positivity that this concert brings.

I miss Neil, and I miss Taylor. I enjoyed this. Thank you for sharing so I could remember how great they were.

actually I was being sarcastic ... but you are right many people like lady gag gag barf barf ... I detest lame pop music

 

[Al Rivera]

Wow! The internet is full of sad ,small people....it's geddy and Alex's life,let them live out their remaining years any way they see appropriate. I would go see rush with a new drummer though.

 

[burgerdj]

I guess if Danny Carey wants to play with your band, you say “yes!”

Good for them Neil would approve ....who would know better than his life long band mates...Geezus you think they did think long and hard about it ofcourse they did...I think it's awesome

 

[MultiScaleMale]

I'm all for it. Neil died, sucks, but the rest of the band didn't. It's a lot better than Primus' version of Rush.

 

[Eddie Jones]

Pink Floyd-Syd and Richard Wright. How much great music would we have missed over the years if the others had just thrown in the towel and never played another PF song?

Agreed, Rush and the Foo Fighters are both gone forever, at least as we knew them. Considering the circumstances in both bands and the relationships that had developed between their members, I'm just not seeing how anyone would think this was unnatural, inappropriate, or anything other than great. I guess it's just the internet.

 

[Lowandfat]

They should play whatever they want, with whomever they want, wherever they want, whenever they want. Not saying they should do a Rush tour, they have both said they will never do that, but there sure is a whole lot of pearl clutching going on in here. Good grief.

Criticizing the opinion of others criticizing the opinion of others just demonstrates one's holier than thou status. It(sic) kind of sad, really.

 

[Crackle]

The stupidity is strong with this thread. Musicians have the right to do whatever they want.

First off, I'm a huge Rush fanboy. And I can't image the band being 'Rush' with Neal. That part I get.

However, I really, genuinely don't understand all the naysayers and negativity applying that logic on *this* performance. As a reminder: It wasn't a Rush concert, or a Rush tour, or a Rush TV Special, or a Rush Anything. It was a Taylor tribute that had lots of bands (or members of bands) that Taylor loved come out and play stuff. It was an all-star concert with icons mixing and matching on different tunes. There was no Rush marketing, ticket sales, etc. Geez, people...

Geddy and Alex also played with members of Primus and the creators of South Park recently at the South Park 25th anniversary thing at Red Rocks. Again, it wasn't a Rush concert, it was one song at a bit of an all-star thing.

It's the internet, which makes anything and everything fair game 'for me to poop on', to borrow a phrase. While opinions are like a-holes, that doesn't mean one needs to share theirs every unsolicited chance that pops up.

Neil's death precipitated the roller coaster from hell that was the year 2020. He died January 7, 2020... and it was all downhill from there. }:

I agree.....All the guitar parts are still Alex,s all the Vocals and Bass parts still Geddy,s they deserve to be heard and I believe another drummer is honoring and honored playing Neil's,s parts .Im totally ok with it..

 

[SteveCS]

Geezus you think they did think long and hard about it ofcourse they did

Likewise "Queen with Adam Lambert". Roger and Brian state freely in the documentary that they really had to dig deep to even consider taking that on. The fact that they deemed Adam good enough to walk anywhere in Freddie's shoes and were prepared to put him and themselves in front of the fan-base should speak for itself with no further justification. One thing is certain - there is no way that Adam 'downgraded Freddie's legacy'. Rock history has a huge back-catalogue of personnel changes under myriad circumstances. Even the back-story of this tribute gig is one of loss and change reaching all the way back to the death of Kobain almost 30 years ago. Didn't prevent DG from keeping on, and nor, evidently, will the loss of TH or NP.

I have to admit to not being a big Rush fan, so maybe there is something I'm missing from that perspective.
