Pretty huge news! There is going to be insane demand for these tickets. And imagine stepping into the void left by Neil Peart. Literally millions of drummers scrutinizing every drum fill.

On the pre-order list for a couple city’s.  Can’t wait to bring the kids to their first Rush show.

I am really on the fence about this. 

Rush has been my absolute, hands-down favorite band since about 1987 and one of my favorites since long before that. I am 100% of the belief that nobody can ever replace Neil Peart, and I'm sure even Anika feels the same. So really, it will depend on how Geddy and Alex treat the material and the presentation of Rush. Will it be Rush on stage? No, not without Neil. But it could be a really good version if presented as sort of a "Lee & Lifeson featuring special guest Anika Nilles present the music of Rush." 

I guess we'll have to wait and see.

My first thought was "Is Danny Carey available?"

She has some big shoes to fill that's for sure. Neil was a machine.

Rush SUCKS.

Noisy, harsh, discordant shit.... kinda like Foo Fighters. Electronic noise.

Why do most Canadian bands sound that way?

I logged on to get tickets today .  $900 each for mediocre seats.  I love Rush,  but that is insane.

Have you seen the meme saying "Anika Nilles says she will be honored to be the only female in the Arenas on the upcoming Rush tour"

Concerts like this should be damn near free, fucking cash grabs, its not rush,  its not Alice in chains ,its not sublime,  realistically they are dead. 900 to not see Neil .  Idk its very frustrating.  Then they say" we are done" cause so an so passed, then here we are 900.00 to go see a not complete band, its a joke. The back bone is the band is dead, also they can't stfu about politics and just play their songs either.  I used to have great respect for some a these bands but now I hate alot of them because of the cash grabs and the lectures,  play the songs and stfu!! IMO
