I've seen that there was no thread about them so I decided to put one up. We all know who they are! Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, and one of the most recognized drummers in the world.... NEIL PEART!! I'm a huge fan of Rush starting since Thanksgiving of last year. I stayed up Thanksgiving Eve watching Rush: Beyond The Lighted Stage about 3 times in a row.

Rush is my favorite band to play drums to since Neil is so complex and innovative, still learning "La Villa Strangiato" at the moment.

Discuss your opinions on Rush!

Leaked 2012 tour book cover
http://cygnus-x1.net/links/rush/images-2/clockwork-angels-tourbook.jpg

This year marks the 30th anniversary of Signals. This cover and members of Rush Is A Band have stated that the band will be playing Signals in its entirety on this tour.

There are also rumors, since the band has cancelled its amphitheater tour to indoor venues that the 2012 tour will also consist of a full orchestra. The band has been wanting to do this for a while, and many songs on CA used a full orchestra.

stocked.

This is some shit I'm excited for. Rush is one of my favorite bands. I'm not totally sold on the idea of a full orchestra being used, but hey, if it's done right, then I'll take it.

Hearing Signals in full on the tour will be fucking fantastic. Can't wait for 2017 when they (hopefully) do Hold Your Fire in full.

I am really, really enjoying their early-80s albums lately: Permanent Waves through Grace Under Pressure (and I just picked up a DVD from the latter album's tour, recorded here in Toronto circa 1984... it's some really good shit).

Might as well have just said it out loud: I really, really need to get laid.

Just saw this ad during the Olympics coverage. Fail!

Working Man for Wal-Mart (http://www.rushisaband.com/blog/2014/02/18/3941/Rush-Walmart-Working-Man-commercial-reaction-and-backlash) I don't know, botley. I think this is a case of Rush pulling a fast one on Wal-Mart. Think of the lyrics. Our hero "has no time for living" because he's "working all the time." He says "it seems to me i could live my life a lot better than i think i am."

Now consider Rush's love affair with Ayn Rand's philosophy. I don't know how much Rand you have read, (i'm guessing quite a bit because your vocabulary leads me to believe that you are very well read,) so you probably know that a major theme in Rush's music (as in Rand's writing) is the individual AGAINST the state, AGAINST the massive corporation. That is the meaning of the famous 2112 logo.
Think of songs like the blatant individual selfishness of Anthem Consider 2112, which i'm sure you know is pretty much a rock-opera version of Ayn Rand's Anthem, in which the individual is brutally fucked over by the state.

Now Rush is still going strong. They are, i'm sure, in very little need of money.
Wal-Mart is a nasty, massive corporation who has been accused of all kinds of abuses of its INDIVIDUAL workers.
Working man is the LAST song a THINKING person would want to promote their company in the name of blue collar workers.
Rush has always done whatever the hell they wanted. I don't believe for a SECOND that dirk, lerxst and pratt "sold out." to fucking Walmart.

I think this is just like Reagan using "Born in the USA" as the theme song for his re-election bid in '84. Seems that no one bothered to pay attention to the lyrics to the song other than the born in the usa part, which are quite a bit like working man, about a vietnam vet stuck working a shitty job at a refinery with no chance for a better life.

I think it's an irony thing to the trio rush, and they are laughing all the way to the bank.

I knew there had to be some Rush fans here, so i was going to make a thread, but was happy to see that there already is one.
Even the TRez man gushes love for Rush on their documentary Beyond the Lighted Stage.

I first discovered rush digging through my parents record crate as a child, and the obsession began. It started with A Farewell to Kings. The cover at once terrified and intrigued me, much as the video for wish would a couple of years later. I put it on and was blown away.
Moving Pictures is what REALLy got me into them. As well as AFTK, my folks had that one, Caress of Steel, Fly By Night and 2112. There was a little shop at the flea market that sold used cassettes for 2 or 3 dollars where i used my allowance to buy signals, permanent waves, grace under pressure, hemispheres, RUSH, power windows, hold your fire, presto, and roll the bones. I also got the live ones...exit stage left, all the world's a stage and a show of hands.
I was HOOKED. I worked my ass off learning to play the songs every day after school. And one day, something fucking amazing happened. I still remember where i was...i had gone out to eat with my parents at this short lived dallas buffet. And a NEW rush song came on the radio. It kicked ass...it was leaner and meaner than anything i'd ever heard them do. The song was stick it out, and the album was Counterparts. Needless to say, i had that shit on repeat in a big fucking hurry. And there was another thing...a concert! The year was 93, and it was my first arena show (i had seen Jesus Jones, The Allman Brothers, and Right Said Fred at six flags.) But this was fucking RUSH!
I saw them on the Counterparts tour...my whole family went. I was 16 when test for echo came out (i skipped school to go get that one,) and old enough to drive myself to see them twice on that tour.
In 98, i was thrilled by Different Stages. I thanked God for their comeback after Neal's tragedy. Vapor Trails was SO bad ass.
But over the years, something curious happened. I found myself listening to them less and less...they were kind of a childhood obsession, i suppose. Don't get me wrong, i still ADORE them, but nowadays you will find me listening to more hip hop, or the trip-hop station on pandora.
My fiancee and I got Clockwork angels when it came out, though, and listened to it about 50 times.
I just saw the documentary. After that, we watched the Clockwork Angels Tour video 2 or 3 nights ago, and Ho..ly...shit, it was bad ass.

Ok, this is turning into a fucking essay so i better wrap it up. I can't believe these guys have still got it 40 years in...not that they can still drag their tired bodies out and play a nostalgia show, but that they are still fucking AMAZING. Better than ever! They are like a fine wine that has only gotten better with age.
Nine Inch Nails is my favorite band of all time, yes.
But the best band, in terms of technical virtuosity, in terms of longevity, in terms constantly reinventing themselves, and in terms of coming with it over and over and over again...is Rush.

Rush is the greatest rock band of all time. Not Zeppelin, not the Beatles, for CHRIST'S sake not Aerosmith...it's Rush.

Sorry for the essay, y'all! Thanks for reading it if you did.

PLEASE SHARE YOUR RUSH STORY!

I love Rush's music, but it took a while to come around. The quasi-political stuff in Peart's early lyrics is so naive and silly, it's almost unbelievable he's the same guy who wrote jaw-droppingly great words for tracks like "Limelight", "Entre Nous" and "Subdivisions". For my taste, they really started to hit a great stride with A Farewell to Kings, but even the albums after that are filled out with more than a few cringe-inducing clunkers (hello, "The Trees") where I reach for the skip-ahead button.


I think this is a case of Rush pulling a fast one on Wal-Mart. Think of the lyrics. Our hero "has no time for living" because he's "working all the time." He says "it seems to me i could live my life a lot better than i think i am."
But isn't that sort of what Wal-Mart promises here? You CAN live your life better, if you SHOP HERE, because spending your money at Wal-Mart will not only make your hard-earned dollar stretch further, but you're now supporting your fellow (AMERICAN) Working Men! Excuse me while I gag. This seems to be a trend in American TV commercials now: even in the recent ad for cars starring Bob Dylan, which was just shown during the last Superbowl, he brags about how their domestic manufacture is still relevant. Has it really been that way since the heady Iacocca-revives-Chrysler days in the '80s? Do I even care? No, I don't, because I'm a Canadian who doesn't drive. Sorry Bob.


Now consider Rush's love affair with Ayn Rand's philosophy. I don't know how much Rand you have read, (i'm guessing quite a bit because your vocabulary leads me to believe that you are very well read,) so you probably know that a major theme in Rush's music (as in Rand's writing) is the individual AGAINST the state, AGAINST the massive corporation. That is the meaning of the famous 2112 logo.
I've never read Rand, but I've read enough to know that not only are corporations NOT people, they're not states either (notwithstanding so many of these grandiose branding gimmicks bleeding into a kind of quasi-patriotism). It's amusing to me that Peart was able to adapt parts of Rand's work into something a little more playful, and not quite as heavy-handed as what I've gleaned from second-hand descriptions of the originals. That logo, as I see it, is a symbol of how the abstract, idealized, big-C Collective conflicts with the reality of a human individual's experience. There are, of course, some parallels here with the monopolization of culture that corporate influence wrought on globalized life in the 21st century. That's not what Peart wrote about, however... he was criticizing equality ("OUR STOCK IN TRADE!") as a dangerous ideal to seek, which is a straw man attack, at best, on the modern liberal state and not relevant at all to Wal-Mart. Corporations are the BIG winners in a Randian world of deregulated anti-state libertarianism.


Think of songs like the blatant individual selfishness of Anthem
"Begging hands and bleeding hearts / Will only cry out for more". I mean, sure... fuck starving people. At least Peart wisely softened on this stance in his lyrics once he grew up a bit.


Wal-Mart is a nasty, massive corporation who has been accused of all kinds of abuses of its INDIVIDUAL workers.
Working man is the LAST song a THINKING person would want to promote their company in the name of blue collar workers.

I think it's an irony thing to the trio rush, and they are laughing all the way to the bank.
Maybe they find it funny. Maybe the ad agency even realized they were doing something cheeky when they pitched it to the Wal-Mart board of executives, who must have blindly said "great, Rush is popular right now, let's go with that"... none of that would make my stomach any less queasy about this actually happening and people seeing it on television.

Are you really in to clockwork angels? it's 2112/hemispheres/year zero territory. i didn't even catch that even though i listened to the album A LOT. But that was when it came out. So as much as i loved the video, the clockwork angels set just didnt do it for me. I DO think it's bad ass that rush does whatever they want...like playing 75 percent of their new album. ive never seen any band do that.
i;m gonna read the story of clockwork angels so i understand it more and then give the dvd another spin. I THINK it has something to do with those final fantasy looking airships...

There's a fucking BOOK?!?!?! is it like a novella, or like a booklet?
I'm having a Rush revival in my life right now.
Have you read Prat's Book? it's called ghost rider or something.

I really like clockwork angels too. I liberated it from wal-mart...oh sweet irony.
But i took it out of the umm....what do you call it? The box or whatever?
The bottom line is i just got the disk. I pit it in Lorien's car stereo and it was ALL we listened to for about a month.
But then, we got hit with a massive shit storm...i had been on the run from probation, and i was planning to move toe TN with her.
It's an insanely long fucked up story, but the bottom line is that i got caught and the car got impounded and...no more car, no more clockwork angels.

There is a 300-page novel out there, based on the lyrics of Neil, written by Kevin Anderson IIRC.
If you'll ever going to read it (I think I paid about $15 for a hardcover one), don't expect something big.
Overall it's quite simplistic and somewhat unfinished. Could've been much better...
(and I haven't read Ghost Rider yet. I was planning to read it since it came out, and it's 2014 now so... :rolleyes:)

Well the book is about a boy named

Owen Hardy, an apple farmer and the novel's hero, sets out on his journey to explore the opposite viewpoints of ultimate control and order (represented by The Watchmaker) and extreme chaos (represented by The Anarchist). The story is told at the end of his life's adventure, and we see his move from innocence (and unabashed optimism) to experience.

I tried to write a short summary, but it's quite hard to write a book report in a foreign language...

I saw a quote from Neil on another board in which he refers to the early albums:

"Those were the growing years. I often equate that to children's drawings on the refrigerator that hang around too long, you know?

I really wish they would just go away. I think we really started....wow, given my druthers, I would make our first album "Moving Pictures." I can't think of a single reason not to do that!"


Neil, you're fucking high.

I'm kinda late to the party, here, but just thought this should be clarified:

"Rush" wasn't into Ayn Rand.

PEART was into Ayn Rand.

FORTY YEARS AGO.

He's since grown up and is a "bleeding heart Libertarian" (http://www.mediaite.com/online/rush-drummer-neil-peart-denounces-ayn-rand-im-a-bleeding-heart-libertarian/).

Interesting move. There also appears to be a 10-disc DVD-only option for those who haven't upgraded (and as I remember, the Rush in Rio concert was only ever recorded in standard definition anyway). I like these deluxe sets, and since I'm into Blu-ray now, it gives me a chance to upgrade from my old copies. It's also a good thing they're finally reissuing the "Lock and Key" performance that was left off the remastered A Show of Hands DVD.

Plus it'll be nice to finally have a video version of the entire 2112 suite.

This may be the last tour. SAY IT AINT SO!!!!!

My brother and i saw rush 3 times in the nineties and have been promising each other we'd see them ONE MORE TIME for years.

Looks like this might be it!

I am bummed out because we have planned this big family get-together in Denver around an old 97s show on june 3rd. Don't get me wrong, i love the 97s but i've seen them 50 plus times, and...you know...they aren't fucking RUSH!

i'm also super bummed that Rush played the BOK center in tulsa a couple of weeks ago and i didn't know. it's somewhat close to me, and it's where i saw LITS in 08. there's not a bad seat in the house. it's the smallest arena i've ever seen.

I'm just hoping to god i can get together the money to make it from stratford (north of amarillo) to denver and catch rush on july 11!

I need to keep up with this shit. DAMNIT!

that's it. i'm starting a twitter account.

I own the TPB of the "Clockwork Angels" comics, it has the whole story; it's always easier to buy the compilation than "go hunt" the 6 individual issues.
The story is nice and the art is ok (nothing to scream about, but it's pretty), i haven't read the original novel, but i do recommend the comics.

Yeah, that doc's a tearjerker. Couldn't be happier to have seen the Friday night Toronto show they talked about, which forms the basis for most of the R40 concert film/live album. It was so cool to see Ben Mink tear it up on the electric violin he originally did for "Losing It" and then when they launched into "Subdivisions"... I LOST IT. Still gives me goosebumps.

Yeah man, i had to stop watching the R40 dvd when they got to "Losing It" TWICE.
The third time i was finally able to watch it all the way through.

Reading all the interviews, it sounds like Neil is DONE done.
And his facebook page has and end date on "years active."

I don't know what in the fuck i thought, that they were going to just keep it up forever?
Part of the reason i didn't see the end coming is that Rush seemed to get BETTER with age, unlike any other act of their generation.

What breaks my heart is that my brother and i were always going to see them one more time but never got around to it.

But at least i saw them those three times in the 90's, three incredible shows i will never forget.

Fucking awesome that you saw that Toronto show, @botley (http://www.echoingthesound.org/community/member.php?u=469) !

@SM Rollinger (https://www.echoingthesound.org/community/member.php?u=1705) , every note of that solo is burned into my brain. Botley thinks the live video is an abomination, because it's trapped in the eighties (and, to be fair, I recently saw an interview with Ged from that time period, with THAT hairdo, and, yeah,) BUT:
It is SO fucking magical for me. Throughout my early teenage years, a typical Saturday night involved me, my brother, and whoever was spending the night, watching either "A Show of Hands," or " The Song Remains the Same. " This went on for YEARS.

That music (and video) is SO special to me, and, I'm due to rewatch it.

Dreamline has always been the Rush song most likely to bring me to tears, and this started when I was about THIRTEEN, for some fucking reason. Of course, it's more poignant now. That being said, I could never handle Bravado. And, now that I have this RA, AND, Rush is no more, I can't fucking TOUCH Losing It.

As I'm sure I've stated before, Rush was my "favorite band" for a long, long time. NIN only eclipsed rush as I got into my early 20s, there were more NIN releases (well, The Fragile at least,) and, my fucking depression got darker, and I realized it wasn't going anywhere.

The way my state of mind is a lot of the time, I just can't get into Red Barchetta the way I did when I was a kid.

If it weren't for my mental (and now, physical) health issues, and, trouble with drugs and alcohol, I THINK I'd be on a Rush forum instead of here.

I still love them SO FUCKING MUCH, and, I WILL say they're my favorite BAND of all time, if we're using the NIN is "Trent Reznor" idea, and consider much of it to be a one man project.

He was fiercely guarded about himself to the public, not to the point of alienating people or attacking paparazzi, but it was refreshing that a guy so well-renown avoided fame as much as he could. Even to the point of not wanting to do autograph sessions and stuff like that. The part of the documentary I kind of identified with the most was when he said he never had the nerve to go up to his idols and bug them, because I feel the same about that too.

Really, really sad to hear, especially that he got so little healthy time after retirement to spend with his family. Must have felt like some kind of cruel joke to get the diagnosis.

A tribute concert would be wonderful if Alex and Geddy are on board, something like what Soundgarden did at the beginning of the year for Chris Cornell.

I am pretty new to the world of Rush--had a few of their albums, but never really dived into their catalog. I just bought the three Sector Boxsets and am now exploring their body-of-work. I haven't made it past the first album, because I think it's awesome and am kind of stuck on it for the time being. I know that it doesn't represent their signature sound (sounding more like Cream and Zeppelin than classic Rush), but it's just such a great, well-written classic rock album, it's hard to move on past it. It's refreshing to me because I have listened to most of all the established classic rock albums to death, so this is a nice surprise.

It was a really great, illuminating read, but also colossally sad. Nobody deserves cancer, of course, but it just feels especially cruel that it had to be Neil, literally a year after the three of them were finally alright with moving on. Just awful.

Hearing that Alex and Geddy won't even pick up their instruments was rough. I couldn't imagine having that feeling, man.

I'd be okay with that, as long as they still played "La Villa Strangiato" live. It's only some of the early lyrics that bug me, whereas the music on those albums is all pretty ace.

So, let me get this straight, 2014 botley . You'd wish Natural Science, Spirit of Radio, Cygnus X1, Cinderella Man, Closer to the Heart, Circumstances, Hemispheres, 2112, Bastille Day, etc, out of existence...and only save Strangiato?

OoH Said I, I'm coming out to get you, ooh sit down, I'm COmIN out to FIND you!

Ha. It's fucking great. If you really like the sound of that album, I think you'd like Best I.Can and Beneath, Between and Behind, and In The End, from Fly By Night, and then Bastille Day and Lakeside Park on Caress of Steel. Also, I Think I'm Going Bald on COS.

There's a lot of other great stuff on those records, and some stuff that foreshadows what was to.come with 2112, but those are the tunes, for me, that are really in the same ballpark as the debut. They're sort of tight, early hard rock songs, with that fiery sort of energy.

I think it's valid to ask, as it isn't for sale:

Did anyone record it? I REALLY want to see it.

I figured we would get 40th anniversary boxes at least through Hold Your Fire, and maybe all the way through the 90s albums too. Since Grace Under Pressure came out in 1984, they can get back on track with them being actual 40th anniversary boxes, too.

So, two things: first off, is everyone aware that Mr. Geddy Effin Lee wrote an autobiography, and it was released last month?
It's called My Effin Life, AND, the audio version is read by a very special voice actor: Geddy Lee (with contributions from Lerxst. I shit you not).

Secondly, @botley (https://www.echoingthesound.org/community/member.php?u=469) , to continue a conversation we were having...last year, and see if any of my fellow Rush diehards know much about this, perhaps...there ARE, CLEARLY like, meticulously maintained and ostensibly, shared and traded live bootleg DVDs.

I've come across them on recent YouTube adventures. Like, I'm looking at a live Spirit of Radio that says Source: Rush "Parts In Motion" DVD (DR DVD-10987-8). I think DR 10987-8 means Direct Recording 10-9-1987, Track 8.

And, hell. Here's a BEAUTIFUL Closer to the Heart from "Casting Lots in Jacksonville" from 2-26-92.
There's also apparently a DAMN good COUNTERPARTS TOUR (my first rush show) bootleg called The Big Apple Box (DR-DVD 3994-2) is Double Agent.
There's a Test For Echo tour (I mean, SHIT) bootleg called "Coming Home-YYZed Volume 1"
I'll stop; y'all've (how's THAT for some texas speak)? got the idea by now, obviously.

The ones I just listed are on a YouTube channel called Snowdog, btw, but there are more floating around. After my best friend of 30 years died a few weeks ago, I was curled up in the fetal position for days and wanted to listen to like, you know, Afterimage, The Garden, Bravado, Time Stand Still, Dreamline, Losing It...you know, cheerful stuff like that, so I could like, cry harder, I guess? But I wound up going down a rabbit hole that, FINALLY, after all these years, led to this revelation.

They've got NAMES and NUMBERS ffs. These people CLEARLY aren't fucking around.

So, having made a short story long, my question is this: how can WE get these?

Surely the Rush superfans who spend their time on the Rush forum...they have this stuff. Do we find one with dual fandom, and offer to show them all our cool NIN shit? Like, I DO have an account over there, but I don't use it, and I CERTAINLY don't have the balls to say "Good afternoon. My name is Eleven. Please to lay the live bootleg files on me."

I MUST have at LEAST the RTB, CP, and T4E films, as those have the best A/V quality, and there's got to be SOME way to get them.

Does anyone here already have an in, by chance? If not, can someone help me formulate a plan?

This here isn't actually live, but is it from one of the docs, or is it fan made? Also, go ahead and cry your eyes out, again.

https://youtu.be/w56xR9gM5zg?si=D-PFKj1LG6XM6Xtg

And then HERE is a taste of these bootlegs, which, YEAH. Note how PROTECTIVE this dude is of this vid. Click "watch on YouTube."

https://youtu.be/OOEKnYo56Hg?si=E6l_QW0qoIqoipkq
Sound and video quality vary but, I especially wish to see/hear a bootleg of any show I ATTENDED, to "live it all again," as it were, as "experience slips away.'

Oh, and how about THIS insanity?

Well, that 40th set was a bit of a bust. Except for streaming the Dolby Atmos mix (which is admittedly pretty nice) I didn't even bother because there was no live stuff included.

Occasionally I still watch clips from this show (Montreal '83) when they were playing everything SO GODDAMN FAST; fuck me running... it's like 170 BPM, compared to the album tempo of 156.
