![]() This topic cuts across a couple Ledge boards, but I figure it's most relevant here nowadays. Any number of articles or comments talk about LB being replaced by two guitarists...twice. I'm curious about how someone with more musical expertise than me (meaning, any expertise at all) would describe Rick's, Dave's, and Mike's approach to LB's lead parts -- how much of their own styles they seem to incorporate, whether there's a notable difference in the guitars they use, how they work with the rhythm guitarists, etc. I'm not looking to say one is better than the other, mind you...just a better understanding of their technique/philosophy/influences. Thanks in advance!

![]() There are a lot of lead guitarists who don't like to focus on singing. I've especially noticed among YOUNG ones, that many don't sing at all(I believe when they're a monster guitar player, they want to focus strictly on their playing - and it is hard to play some really difficult licks while you're singing). That said, I have noticed that later in life, they finally start singing.
This whole "it takes two guys to replace Lindsey thing" is just hype. If they found the right guy, they wouldn't need two. But of course, these days, Christine barely plays anything, so they really benefit now from having two guitarists. Then again, they're playing with tracks now, so who knows, they could probably pull it off with a hologram. ![]()

In songs like The Chain or World Turning, played live in 1987, Rick didn’t duplicate Lindsey’s Travis style at all. He just played the songs his way. Guy had his own style and he used it in Fleetwood Mac, but he still respected the audience enough to deliver the overall song. (I mean, he didn’t start remodulating Go Your Own Way or adding sitar or slap bass to it.)

![]() Anyways, I always marvel at people like Neil Young who can play guitar, sing, and add in a harmonica. Amazing how the brain can work. |

if you watch Urban playing SHN at Musicares, but even more at Nashville NYE where it was more spontaneous and loose, not only can he play the guitar and sing the song well, but even when he's improvising his guitar playing is in the spirit of Lindsey's song and playing. even with repeating the "I ain't gonna miss you when you go" verse and the chorus and adding a whole new guitar solo in between, it was still completely in the LB spirit of playing.

I wonder if Rush will continue, now that Neil Peart has passed? They didn't get the respect they deserved, but they were truly an amazing power trio.
