crushtopher Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Just dropping the topic out there. Personally i have alot of ideas thought i throw it out to the masses just for shits and giggles. I would love to see Rush do a concept album where everything blends into the next. I would also love to see them stretch the boundaries and really show the versatality of the band. For example on disc two of rush from rio they show alex jamming out getting warmed up for a show. The licks he plays are unreal ,but they are more blues ,jazz fusion. I personally would like to see the next album be part acoustic ,part electric, part instrumental and then some of the traditional in your face hard driven prog Rock. Yet the entire album be a story where all the songs are woven together much like 2112 but longer........"The Wall" length . Maybe even use a guest jammer or an orchestra on given pieces. Maybe some 15 minute instrumental in there too. Just a few suggestion.....not like it will matter .Rush will do what Rush will do anyway . Im sure i will be satisfied with the next effort regardless. What do you all think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeilPeartFan2112 Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 I think whatever they do it will be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfuentes Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 This is very unlikely, but I would like to see a two disc set with a common theme among the songs. I also hope that they record another epic. Ahh, I'd give anything for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to see Permanent Waves Pt. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuppetKing2112 Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 *Bring back the synths...not go all out with them like they did in teh 80s but use them to add texture like they did in the late 70s, Hemisphere and all that. *Lerxst, for the love of Garage, play a guitar solo! *Geddy, tone down the backing vocals. The idea of having lots of Geddys singing different things at the same time worked wonderfully on Presto, but on Vapor Trails it just got to be too much. *Another epic would be nice but it's not very likely. That's all I can think of for now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweetmiracle Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Please, guys, an instrumental!!! Another epic is about as likely as Rush recording a concept album based on the Captain Underpants books.... http://images.amazon.com/images/P/0439417848.01._PIdp-schmoo2,TopRight,7,-26_PE34_SCMZZZZZZZ_.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has a ring to it, don't you think? Part 1 - Harold and George Part 2 - Horowitz is Hades Part 3 - Snap!! Part 4 - Fabulous Fliporama Part 5 - Water Splash Part 6 - Harold and George (Reprise) Crushtopher, unlikely though your idea is, I personally would wet myself.

That's all I can think of for now... So very true....Especially the part with the synths and the backing vocals...We need more synths so that there is a true goosebump melody...For example, like the end of Marathon, how there are like 8 different things happening, and yet it souinds incredible like a big finale...And definetely cut the backing vocals...WAY too much on vapor trails! Oh, and whatever Rush releases, I will buy and I'm very sure I'll enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puppetking - You speak with wisdom beyond your years (now where's your CPCDE discs?????!!!!!! ) They're coming. I have disc 1 pretty much completed. Just need to finish disc 2 and write the liner notes. Also they're not overdue or anything because I've only gotten 4 or 5 out of the expected 14, and I haven't gottn one in like a month. But I'm working on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cato76 Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Personally, I would like to see them put out a cd much like Moving Pictures. The synthesizers need to be put back in. I think Vapor Trails is a great cd but would have been even better with more keyboard work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pags Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 I know it's a copout answer, yet it is true. And it's consistent as I've said this before. I have no opinion here. The reason I LOVE this band the way I do is the fact that I've learned to trust them. Whatever they decide to do, and however they decide to do it - will be F'ing Awesome as far as I'm concerned. I can't say that about any other band on the planet. Just these guys. I'm ready for whatever they want to do. Bring it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave G Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Given Alex's distaste for sharing sonic space with anything other than bass, drums, and vocals these days, I wouldn't expect much in the keyboard department on the next album. If Geddy was going to bring a little more textural variety back into the picture in that area, though, it would be great to have it be something other than just a few string pads...maybe do something a little more modern and experimental. What the hey, whatever they decide to do, I'm sure it will be an enjoyable listen, as always. When I want to hear some great synthesizer work, I can always listen to William Orbit. I accepted long ago that Rush's days of embracing the cutting edge of technology are in the past - ever since Counterparts, that's not really what they've been about, and that's fine.

I agree...but I don't care for your wording. Alex has taken a back seat like no one with his talent has before. How many sounds does Geddy need to produce at once for Kripes sake? Hes already got the bass (guitar) and some mids with his voice. Geez. We also don't know what they will do next. There could be more effects and sampling or none at all.
