Unless they hire a fourth member to stand in for Geddy's vocals, they have got to hang it up. Yes, they've had an excellent run but holy crap, he sounds atrocious these days.


He only sounds bad when he sings the old stuff. They write the new stuff like Clockwork Angels in better keys for him to sing in.

The band knows it's an issue. I read a recent interview with them and Geddy said at the time they were recording those old albums he wasn't thinking about having to sing that stuff at 60 years old. When I watched the Clockwork Angels tour video, it seemed like he was doing a better job of it then he did when I saw them on the Time Machine tour in N.O.

They're all virtuosos - they can't transponse the keys into something he can sing now? I mean dropping the guitar strings half a step to make it easier for a male lead singer to stay on key isn't a new trick or anything.
