Jag2112 Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Two interviews with Alex, one from March of this year and one from 2009, appear in the May 2014 issue of Red Hot Rock Magazine. In it, Alex touches upon the possibility of a 2015 tour again... You can read both interviews at the following link: http://www.cygnus-x1.net/links/rush/red-hot-rock-05.2014.php Enjoy- 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LedRush Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Xanadu live next year! Wicked! I wonder who gonna sing it! haha I was thinking that the appropriate title for this thread was "Alex confirms Xanadu for next tour". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USB Connector Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Until I hear it from someone that isn't Alex, any information about the tour is considered a blatant lie. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fordgalaxy Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Until I hear it from someone that isn't Alex, any information about the tour is considered a blatant lie. Indeed. Alex has a habit of saying a lot of crap that turns out to not be correct. I wouldn't believe anything he said unless he was talking about a past tour that I'd witnessed myself.

Your_Lion Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Alex says they're playing Xanadu next tour? Aw! :( Does that mean they're not going to be playing Xanadu next tour? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Empty Mindless Spectre Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 I have a lot of concerns here. It doesn't really sound like they're all that interested in going back out on tour. It sounds more like they're being pushed into it, and they are going along with it for now, but that could easily change at any time, including right up to the last minute. No one wants to see another RUSH tour more than I do, but I'm not sure how excited I am to see them tour if their hearts aren't into it. Maybe (hopefully!) they will become more enthusiastic about touring when the time comes, but it's just too early in the process for me to really get my hopes up. I also suspect that if they do tour, it may be in a more limited fashion with fewer shows, and perhaps with more time off between shows, or maybe a few "mini-vacations" of say 1-2 weeks off, dispersed throughout the schedule. I really hope a 2015 tour materializes, but I'm not counting any chickens yet. As for the article, it was a very enjoyable read, and thanks for providing the link.

Bangster of Goats Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Yup, count Xanadu out for the text tour. Ha ha. I still wish they would work on new songs instead of touring, but who knows what they will really do. Ha ha. Also, ha ha. Ha ha. Ha ha. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bathory Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 I have no doubt alex might suggest xanadu. he seems to be the one in the band who's most likely to pull out his deep purple or uriah heep records from time to time, he's definitely the pro-balls, pro-heavy dude in rush (just based on my own observations, I've never met the band) but geddy and neil will either say no or want to add in some techno or african tribal beats to the song or maybe some more south park and family guy samples Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeminiRising79 Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 The incentive is there, guys. They are going to keep tapping the source while they can. Immortal, for a limited time! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always also assume he is speaking more for himself and Neil more so than Alex, but who knows, maybe Alex has gotten soft in his old age as well.

I guess far cry and dreamline are supposed to be the "heavy hitters" of the set Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
