crimsonfrippy Posted July 24, 2014 Author Share Posted July 24, 2014 I'm in. That's my first purchase if I ever hit the lottery! I was thinking the same thing. The group is trying to gain momentum. If you have a moment please send a request to join if you are on FB! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 This would be an awesome idea. Hopefully the people who currently own it don't go through with their plans to tear it down. Too much history there. It needs to be bought and returned to its former self. That place needs to be a shrine. :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slack jaw gaze Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 This is one of those places that seem to have value as long as it's purchased with other people's money. I'm guessing it's a giant money pit as is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toymaker Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 (edited) There must be bands out there who would say, "man I'd love to record our album in the same studio Rush made Permanent Waves." Oh, I forgot. . . . it's the twenty-first century now. Edited July 24, 2014 by toymaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KennyLee Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I'm willing to donate to save it. Well... donate my time... because I'm broke. Actually, according to my bank I need $166.13 to be broke. The point is this place is my Graceland and I would love to have the honor of standing in Le Studio just one time. If those walls could talk. Wow. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Does anyone know why Rush stopped recording there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Does anyone know why Rush stopped recording there? I don't know but probably because they wanted to try someplace else and could afford it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Does anyone know why Rush stopped recording there? I don't know but probably because they wanted to try someplace else and could afford it. So, it wasn't that great of a recording studio? It was simply affordable at the time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 (edited) I'm just trying to understand why the clamor to save the place if Rush doesn't care about it. I know they recorded Moving Pictures there. What else? Edited July 25, 2014 by Lorraine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 I'm just trying to understand why the clamor to save the place if Rush doesn't care about it. I know they recorded Moving Pictures there. What else? Permanent Waves, Moving PIctures, Hemispheres, Signals.Grace Under Pressure, Presto, Roll the Bones, Counterparts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennyLee Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Does anyone know why Rush stopped recording there? It's really out of the way. With their families and all I think they just wanted someplace that was more convenient and not keep them isolated from the rest of the world. I think I recall hearing that or reading that somewhere.

x1yyz Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Does anyone know why Rush stopped recording there? I was poking around to try and find some info about why Rush stopped recording there but couldn't find anything (quickly). I did find this quote on the Wikipedia page for Le Studio:"I drove us [Alex Lifeson and Geddy Lee] to my house on the lake, sometimes playing Finnish rally driver on the snow-covered roads. Along the way, we passed near the village of Morin Heights, where we had shared so many good times, recording at Le Studio — now closed and abandoned. The number of albums we had made there stretched from Permanent Waves in 1979 to Counterparts in 1994." – Neil Peart And that page linked to a video someone made of the building in 2010. It doesn't look so good :( 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I vaguely know the area and have been to the next town over (St. Sauveur) a couple times. It's only 20-30 minutes from Montréal which is great ... if you're in Montréal. But Montréal is about a six hour drive or a plane flight from Toronto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeminiRising79 Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 My own home looks like LeStudio! Never realized it until a year ago :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supersyl Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 It's not out of the way by any means... It's about an hour from Montreal, and about 10 minutes from St-Sauveur... Nowhere near "In the middle of nowhere"... It's just that's it's not in the center of Morin Heights, just on a side road, outside of the village.... I've been there many times.... And Neil's lake is just a few minutes away.... They both are outside the tourist areas, but that whole place is filled with ski hills, and hotels, and resorts...
