(Metal enough or metal-adjacent?)

Alex and Geddy are going back out with a new drummer (Anika Nilles, played with Jeff Beck) and adding a keyboard player. I suppose it was inevitable but how will it sound?  I was never much of a fan, only giving them a proper go lately but Peart was truly irreplacable

Same here, not a huge fan, but I see no issue with it at all. Their hearts are very clearly in the right place, they're clearly excited about it from that video. She's a great drummer too.

The two of them have always said they would have been happy to tour longer but Peart was the one against it, so this was probably inevitable

Surprised by that but deadly. She's an unreal drummer. The gig here in whatever year it was was unbelievable.

Happy for them but Geddy's voice was shot on the last tour 10 years ago.

Yeah as a big fan I'm cool with them doing this, but I agree with ze Burggermeister about Geddy's voice.

If they land in Dublin I'd still go to it in fairness. Seeing them at the O2 in 2011 is one of my favourite gigs (Moving Pictures in its entirety!!!)

Was lucky to see Rush in 2011 with Peart on drums.
What a great honour for her,Hopefully some European dates.
