sun dog Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I love hearing this, but is this new information, or just a transcription of the podcast from a while back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraroc Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I think Alex is finally accepting doing concerts again as an inevitability. If they're going to make new music, they're naturally going to want to see how an audience reacts to those songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexMike Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Even Alex and Geddy can only speculate at this point. If Neil decides he doesn't want to do anything else, it IS the end of the band. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocket ignites Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Keeping things open ended is the way to do this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthemic Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 why do you people all think they're breaking up? they have not said one single thing that indicates they're breaking up! they never even said they were going to stop touring! "likely the last tour of this magnitude" is way different than LATER PEOPLE WE'RE NEVER GONNA PLAY TOGETHER AGAIN. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theredtamasrule Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Alex is clearly high. He'll what Geddy tells him to do and he'll like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeanMeanPride Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Sounds like Geddy and Alex are super excited about the possibility of a new record and some more touring, and Neil isn't. That's nothing new, for sure. I envision a scenario in which Ged and Alex write a whole bunch of songs, show up at Neil's unannounced and play it for him. Then in that way, they convince him to come out of his hobbit hole and get to jamming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBsDWdrums Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I think its ok to feel bummed if you think Rush is done with big tours.... I think its a completley unsupported to believe they are retired.... They have never said it...nor implied it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BloodofTheZodiac Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Leg 2 next year huh? And what will the tour be called? It certainly won't be R40. Calling it R40 in their 42nd year is just not gonna happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sokkamom Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I think you guys are forgetting the clear best quote from this article: "So I switched to Humira and now I'm doing an ad for them." I'm more excited to see this commercial over some hope of a new tour 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todem Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Leg 2 next year. Mark it. I'm very skeptical. Source? No source....just the power of $$$$$$ wave another 3-4MM guaranteed at them and see what happens. LOL!!! I am just speculating with some hope they do a limited amount of dates in some major markets they missed this past summer. If they don't I am at peace they are done.
