You might be sitting there and wondering why Metal Injection is writing about Rush, to which I respond with this – Rush is infallible and has a ton of chunky riffs. You shut your heathen mouth.
Unfortunately unless you caught Rush on their last tour, it seemed safe to say that you would never experience said ton of chunky riffs live ever again. Guitarist Alex Lifeson even went as far as saying that Rush had no future plans as of January 2018 and were basically finished. While he's not saying it'll definitely happen, bassist and vocalist Geddy Lee seems to think that maybe at some point Rush might do a show or two… but maybe not as Lee, Lifeson and drummer Neil Peart.
In an interview with Rolling Stone, Lee says there's no chance of Rush going out as a trio ever again, but maybe they would with a live fill-in,
"I can't really tell you much other than that there are zero plans to tour again. We're very close and talk all the time, but we don't talk about work. We're friends, and we talk about life as friends. I can't really tell you more than that, I'm afraid. I would say there's no chance of seeing Rush on tour again as Alex, Geddy, Neil. But would you see one of us or two of us or three of us? That's possible."
Not that I personally have any interest in seeing Rush not as that trio, but given Neil Peart's chronic tendinitis and assuming he'd be the one that would sit out shows, I get it. So let's see if this even comes to fruition.
