Great drummer.  He would be lost behind Peart’s kit.  Maybe greatest percussionist would be a more suitable description of Peart.
Are you high?

Peart was the GOAT in Rock music. His lyric writing is second to none. Top 5 band for me since I first got "All the Worlds a Stage" in 8th grade at age 12.
Heck it came out in 1976 when I was ten. Timeless stuff.

Published 6 books. Great writer.

Saw them so many times, lost count, even their last R40 tour, 4 years back. I didn't realize he was battling cancer, seemed to keep it quiet in a day of intrusive media.

1st album Drummer John Rutsey passed back in 2008, sort of a GetBigger who got into bodybuilding at one point in his life post-Rush.

Rush is dead, would like to see some sort of Lifeson/Lee tribute show or something w/ some different drummers guesting. Of course they would need to be amazing (Portnoy from Dream Theatre, etc).
Sort of like what Gov't Mule did when Bassist Allen Woody died.

I guess E. Van Halen isn't doing well w/ throat or mouth cancer (not good) childhood music hero's dropping all around.
Bruce Gary was a better rock drummer

Neil was one of the greats and happy I got to see rush a few times.  RIP

Bonham was in his own league.

Bonham was alright but vastly overrated. Alex Van Halen sucks. The Hot For Teacher drum solo was ALL effects.

If you don't play music, you may not know too much. Bonham was far from overrated. Alex far from "sucks".

I've been a bass player in metal bands for 35 years, so I know about keeping time w/ good drummers.
And you are way off...

It will be Mike Portnoy from Dream Theater, you hear it here first

Al and Geddy won’t ever again perform as Rush.

Ever.

Now, they’d possibly do something as ... something ... but it wouldn’t be billed as “Rush”.

Also, Geddy’s ability to correctly sing much of the band’s material is over. His voice is largely shot.

And Lifeson has quite bad arthritis.

Word in the industry is they've already reached out to various possibilities including Carl Palmer.
