MMCXII Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 In regards to recent stories that you guys are undecided on what to do next (new album vs tour), I suggest the following; go through that massive back catalog of yours and pick a few old songs from your "pre-school years", ones that your die hard old school fans have been begging for like Xanadu, Cygnus, Jacobs Ladder, etc.. Take these songs and find a way to Bring them to life again! Rewrite sections and throw in some extended jams. Do whatever you need to make these songs bring smiles to your faces again! Then announce your R40something tour for early 2015. You can always make albums. Tour while you're still willing.. ;) Just my thoughts. I'll be there anyway like always :) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 You can always make albums. Tour while you're still willing.. I second this. They can always make albums. Their touring days, on the other hand, are nearing the end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their touring days, on the other hand, are nearing the end.I go the other way. I'd much rather have new music that can be enjoyed ad infinitum than one night's live performance, no matter how transcendent. Unless they come up with another clunker like S&A. Then all bets are off. Edited November 25, 2014 by laughedatbytime 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMCXII Posted November 25, 2014 Author Share Posted November 25, 2014 Hey I like Xanadu the way it is. don't worry, once they start fooling with it they'll quickly remember that it's already perfect.. But by then they'll already be practiced up on it.. Lol That's actually what happened with Camera Eye. They hated it until they actually did it live then they loved it! Plus a modified Xanadu is better than no Xanadu ;) Here's hoping anyway :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping they recognize us as the most passionate, most dedicated incredible fan base around the globe.. the ones that stormed the Rock hall for them. Rush has been MY band for 34 years now. I think it's time I made a request or two. Nothing weird about that.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, Lee and Lifeson have a pretty . . . wide-ranging sense of humour, so they'd probably appreciate a lot of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many things I could gripe about, but the quality of Rush fans is something that the band should be very very very proud of. So, don't you say anything bad about them.

I'm not quite sure how to read the tone of that message. I may not post as often as other folks, but I do read a lot of what's posted. I know you don't really know me that well, but I'd like to think that you wouldn't assume that I was painting everyone with the same broad brush. Or that I would even make a character assessment of someone based on what they write, unless several posts by the same person started to suggest a pattern. Did we not participate in a post, not that long ago, regarding a comment one forum member made that was at the very least disrespectful? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
