yyzyy Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I went to go and see the Trans-Siberian Orchestra yesterday for the 9th time since 2006 at the ACC and they absolutely killed it once again! On the way out, I see a familiar face walking up the stairs...sure enough it's Howard Ungerleider (Rush's lighting director) and we chatted for a little bit. So I asked him about the upcoming tour and album and he said that everything is pretty much wrapped up and the boys are gearing up the machine for a fall 2012 tour starting in September! Bust out the champagne! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghostworks Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I wish I could be excited about this... frankly, I'd rather have them hole up in the studio for the next five years, record two more Rush albums (and a solo album apiece) THEN tour I'm probably more spoiled than most (have caught at least one show per tour since '84) but every show since the VT tour in 2002 has been... underwhelming they're beginning to over-saturate themselves even amongst modestly diehard fans too much trying to shoehorn another couple million dollars into their retirement funds, not enough art as recently as 2004 I still believed that Rush were operating by their unofficial ideal (art over commercial interests) but hey - people change (myself included) - I don't begrudge them their direction, it's just a little depressing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Five more years wouldnt palpably change their new work either... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laughedatbytime Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Did he say where they'd be touring?

LeaveMyThingAlone Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 This is bad news. Wasn't it already a given that Rush was touring in 2012? I just assumed it would be a Spring or Summer tour. The fact they're not touring until Fall is kind of a bummer as we still have a year wait!

Summer tours are cool, but I think the boys will need the rest; this tour might shape up to be pretty lengthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
