Rush

[Ripe(withdecay)]

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!

[bobbie solo]

watching Neil Peart play bums me out at how untalented I am.

The new album is in the can, and should be out in a few months.

OTHER BIG NEWS:
Leaked 2012 tour book cover


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.

[gorast]

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.

[henryeatscereal]

Rush is awesome im happy to hear 'bout the new album, i liked "Snakes and Arrows" and "Vapor Trails" a lot but im hoping for a different direction for this one, maybe happier and upbeat like "Roll the Bones" or "Presto"

[botley]

I listened to Signals on the way home from work today. It holds up damn well. Loved seeing them in '03 at Toronto Rocks and I may check their show out this year too.

NEW SINGLE HEADLONG FLIGHT - full 7 1/2 min version http://www1.rollingstone.com/hearitnow/player/rush.html

[Maximilian]

Love it!

Then again, I've loved everything they've done barring a couple of albums in the 80s....

[Reznor2112]

Yeah its a fucking jammin song. Just read an interview in which Geddy stated that he and Alex originally wrote as an instrumental called "Take That Lampshade Off Yo' Head" until they read Neil's lyrics for the song.

[gorast]

Wow, they tore it up with that song. Nice to see that the energy is carried through the entire song.

[henryeatscereal]

The Riff is so badass!!!, listening to Geddy's voice put me in a good mood!

[henryeatscereal]

*Drip Drip* awesome album, even better than "Snakes & Arrows"

[Reznor2112]

Got my bday present a few days early. Got the UK fan pack from Classic Rock magazine. Also got my name on the limited edition poster!

Album is fucking amazing. Pretty much a mix of every 90's Rush album times 100.

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.

[gorast]

Alex fuckin' Lifeson, man. Such a way with words.

[thevoid99]

I've heard many acceptance speeches and they always are the same but... Alex Lifeson's speech... brings a tear to my eye. It was so eloquent. So moving. So poetic. It will be a speech that will be remembered for many years to come.

[onthewall2983]

Boy I feel like an idiot missing out on this one.

[ILoveFestivals]

Alex Lifeson on Trailer Park Boys equals amazing!

Oh and Moving Pictures is one of the greatest albums...

[Lerxto]

Just watched the blu-ray. It is amazing, and I can't believe I missed the tour. I should've travelled overseas or something.
3 hours of pure happiness.
