A transcription of the words spoken between Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson and Jim Axelrod without paraphrasing nor adulteration meant to be taken out of context as much "news" is reporting on this CBS Sunday Morning interview.

Will Geddy and Alex get together again and jam on stage and/or make some new tunes?

Let’s see what was said exactly:

Jim Axelrod, “Have you and Alex ever talked about ‘let’s go get one of the great drummers and tour again’”?

Geddy, “Um, have we talked about it? Ya.”

Jim, “Will it happen”?

“It’s not impossible. But at this point, I can’t guarantee it”.

Jim, “While Alex strikes a more hopeful note”.

Alex, “It’s just not in our DNA to stop”.

Jim, “RUSH fans should know however they continue to collaborate... they’ll do it the way they always have”.

Geddy, “Do what you believe because if you do what someone else believes and you fail, you got nothing. If you do what you believe and you fail, you still have hope”.

As we can see in no way was it ever questioned, never answered that Alex Lifeson and Geddy Lee would replace Neil Peart as a drummer and continue on under the brand band name of "RUSH". No matter what so many "tabloids" and other online music magazines are writing, that Alex and Geddy are considering "recruiting a new drummer", this is simply not true.
