I think Gavin would be a good choice, too. I could really see them going in some interesting directions with him!I'd vote Gavin Harrison...he seems the closest to composing parts that are inventive yet stay out of the way of the songs movement...many others I have heard proposed have a hard time staying out of the way of a song.
I think a newly intro'ed drummer would be more fun.
I hope they avoid the revolving door of drummer try-outs and select for their (ged, alex and the prospective drummer) desire not marketing...thats the formula that seems to work!
I agree. Another “new guy” that takes them in heretofore new, unheard of trajectory of music. My hope is that it stays a trio, too. The Lee/Lifeson sound sculpting is a thing of beauty.I think a newly intro'ed drummer would be more fun.
I hope, if they do this, they approach it as a new thing...and ignore their own hype...and desire to tap into their previous fame...I bet they could surpass what they have done as they have grown so much...but only if they find joy in it.
I really like this idea. Like a whole lot.Keeping it Canadian, Emmanuelle Caplette.
By suggesting Deen for a fantasy gig on a public forum I wasn’t in any way condoning his past behaviour; I’m sorry if you thought that was the case. The guy clearly and very publicly hit rock bottom and behaved in a despicable way. He’s expressed deep remorse for his actions and seems to be on a good path these days.Geddy and Alex are two of the nicest and most level headed guys in the music business. I can't see a pairing of them and the wife beater.

Horns & percussion? Any keyboard?I still think a 6-10 piece band w/ Alex & Geddy would be awesome.
Even without that part, I don't think his personality would jive with Geddy and Alex. Musically, it would be insane, and I'd be in the front row to see it if it happened, but I don't think that would ever end up happening.I don't think he'll be playing anytime soon. He's laid up w/ back surgery & recuperation.
Regarding his violent past, some may give him another chance and others may not care if he never works again.

Rush had a string section come out for part of the show during the Snakes and Arrows tour.Horns & percussion? Any keyboard?
honestly, I would love to see them get into a straight out rock type group...al la High N' Dry era old Def Leppard or Tesla....but NOT be the song writers...playing someone else's stuff, but just tearing it up in that style...Alex and someone else on guit, Ged on bass, drummer and smoking lead singer...
