Gilbertk Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 I would love to see this happen. I'm sure they'll stick around that long, and another tour like R30 would be awesome. Anyone think they'd do this? Heck... I'm psyched about R50!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod in Toronto Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 R50??? In wheelchairs and IV???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rush Cocky Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 I think R40 will be about it from a touring standpoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J2112YYZ Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 There was a thread about this somewhere else recently but i'm too lazy to look for it. I believe R40 will happen. After they tour for CA next summer/fall that will give them a few years to rest up and then do R40. After that though who knows what they'll do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GotRush Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 R40 looks plausable The way Geddy talk's during most any recent interviews, there very well might be a R50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaun3701 Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 You realize if there's an R50, they're going to be in their 70s? Do we really want to see that? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Presto-a RUSH fan! Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 They guys all look in great shape for almost 60 yrs old! Seriously, they look like they are in their 40s. That said I'd love to see them until they are 80! Well like Geddy said, as long as they are playing this well, who knows!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we really want to see that? lol If, at 70-72 they can still pull it off, I don't see why not, although I doubt the show would be as long as it currently is. It is unlikely for this to happen however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do look great still ( enough about that since this isn't the appropriate thread for posting those comments!). I can't believe their energy on stage. I hope they keep touring for as long as they can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReflectedLight Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 i don't think they will do an r40. i can see them doing solo projects more than r40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That One Guy Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 I've always thought about the idea of R40. It sounds like the perfect way for them to go out with their last bang. Play something from every album. Play as many cities and countries as they can. Live it up one last time. 100 3-hour shows. They're man enough.

Rushchick10 Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 I say, R40? Yes, please! And, thank you! But, I am not holding my breath. I am like the guys in this instance. I am taking one album and tour at a time...and savoring every damn minute I can squeeze out of them! I mentioned this somewhere else, but I have this sick little goal of seeing them at least 20 times before they retire. Since I know that we will have at least one more tour (barring any unforeseen circumstances, of course), I am planning on 10 shows next tour. Dallas on 9/26/10 made my 10th Rush concert. This has to be done. And, I am also trying to get my son up to at least 5 Rush shows (he's at 3 as of 8/5/10) before retirement. Do I believe there will be at least one more tour after Clockwork Angels? Yes, I do. But, I can't count on that at this point in the game. I know I can always count on Geddy being around and doing something. I just can't see him retiring and fading off. But "Rush?" One project at a time...I have felt that way since the "comeback" after Neil's tragedies. Get what I can, and enjoy every damn second! So, I don't give a damn what they play or what they don't play. I'll be there, rawking my ASS off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be there, rawking my ASS off! I've seen 2 shows and I'm hoping to hit a high number on the next tour. I'll hopefully get tickets to all the Southeastern shows, and fingers crossed for others around the country. I came into Rush rather late in the game, so I have some catching up to do!

Neil hasn't for awhile, and with Alex's hair (should just be shaven....), not so much. But Geddy still looks rather young. He's still got the hair, the skinny figure, the non-flabby skin, and heck, a goatee. On top of that he's still running and jumping around the stage! I think that even if Rush retires, he'll get back into the music game with solo work. Alex... Maybe, as long as it's better than Victor Neil? Who knows... I could see him going either way. If fact, I wouldn't be suprised if he just started writting, with the occasional drum appearance (Burning For Buddy 3???) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod in Toronto Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 I think the idea of an R40 is not far fetched.It's even EXPECTED that they do it, and as someone mentioned in the thread, play 100 shows and give the maximum they can live on last time. How about producing, do you guys think they could have a shot at that? I could see Al and Ged having a go at it. As for Neil, he'll just be travelling and writing, and I'm fine with that too, I like his books a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geddy and Alex have produced in the past, and I don't think they'll ever be able to stay away from music. As for Neil, I think you hit the nail on the head. He may play an occasional gig, like the Buddy Rich memorial concert, or something similar to his Hockey theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nettiesaur Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 so if R40 is only 4 years away, it's entirely in the realm of possibility. Next year(2011), they do a short tour again, while working on Clockwork Angels. 2012, they tour Clockwork Angels. 2013, they take off and rest/solo projects. 2014, R40/retirement tour. Yup, could happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nobodys hero Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 I would love to see it happen, but I'm doubtful it will. I think the fact that now, at this stage in their career, they have gained so much attention and many new fans they could go out on top of their game. If there was a 40 year final tour it could not be as large as it is now. Maybe a few shows in really big cities, think L.A., New York, Chicago. I cannot see them hitting places like Nebraska, Kansas etc., which is why I think they have done so this tour and probably the 2011 leg. I met so many people in the lower mid-west that had not had the band in their cities for 19 years or more. I said it before, they are trying to get to as many cities as they can, while they can, so the places/fans they haven't been to for a long time will get the chance to see/hear them before the retire. Just IMHO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cygnus_thegodofbalance Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 I can easily see the Clockwork Angels Tour being their last. If not, R40 will definitely be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
