The March 2013 issue of Metal Hammer magazine (from the UK) includes a nice multi-page article/interview with Geddy Lee. The subject of a 40th Anniversary tour was brought up and Geddy has this to say: It says much for Rush that as they approach the 40th anniversary of this lineup, they are once again seen as being at the cutting edge of music, and are influencing so many in the world of metal. "I don't think about things like the 40th anniversary. We have no plans to celebrate it. We did enough for the 30th. So, if anything is being planned, it will be without our involvement. We are still looking forward, not back." Not exactly encouraging, is it... You can check out the entire article at the following link: http://cygnus-x1.net...mer-03.2013.php Enjoy-

Since everyone seemed to enjoy the vintage 'Fly By Night' concert photos I posted a couple days back, I wanted to share more vintage photos I just uncovered. These photos came from a concert that took place in a High School in Wisconsin during the tour that was in support of "All The World's a Stage". Somewhat hard to believe that the boys were playing High Schools post-2112, but the proof is in the pudding. Check out the photos (admittedly in poor shape -- polaroids I believe) as well as a concert flyer and brief article about the show. http://cygnus-x1.net/links/rush/concert-wausau-wi-05.09.1977.php Enjoy-

I'm fairly certain that's Geddy's wife...

Glad everyone is enjoying them...

Here's a great collection of concert photos from the April 13th, 1975 show at the Aviation Field, Forest Park as part of the KSHE Kite Fly Festival -- in St. Louis, Missouri. http://cygnus-x1.net/links/rush/concert-stlouis-04.13.1975.php Check out the boys -- including Neil - signing autographs...!

Though it has probably the worst article title yet, there is a decent article/interview with Alex Lifeson in the latest, April 2013 issue of Guitar World Magazine. The article title? Big Time Rush. Yep. You can check out the article online at this link: http://cygnus-x1.net/links/rush/guitar-world-04.2013.php Enjoy...

So much for the apocalypse, huh? :) Now that we've gotten past 21/12, I went ahead and scanned all of the 'new' artwork and the 40-page comic book from the Super Deluxe edition of 2112 in 5.1 You can check all the information about the album via the following links: Complete Album Information, Liner Notes, Tracks and Lyrics: http://cygnus-x1.net...ms-2112-5.1.php Album Artwork http://cygnus-x1.net...db-2112-5.1.php Comic Book http://cygnus-x1.net...ok-2112-5.1.php Enjoy-

Is there a source for this? Just curious when this article was published. Did Alex say this years ago, or was this recent? That article came from the September 2012 issue of Guitar World. Complete transcription of the article is here: http://cygnus-x1.net/links/rush/guitar-world-09.2012.php

http://news.cygnus-x1.net/2012/12/rush-inducted-into-rock-roll-hall-of.html So now what are we going to argue about? :-) Congrats Rush!

It's in stores now (in the UK) and should hit the US shores soon...

Rush is featured on the cover of the January 2013 issue of Classic Rock Magazine with the tag line "Band of the Year?" The accompanying article, which is an interview with Geddy and Alex, is now online and can be read at the link below: http://cygnus-x1.net/links/rush/classic-rock-01.2013.php I was a little surprised at some of the personal questions the interviewer asked - and perhaps even more surprised that Geddy and Alex answered them. Talk of R40 and the Fountain of Lamneth in an upcoming tour were also the subject of discussion. All around, an enjoyable read...

Here's a link which includes more information and a video of the segment: http://news.cygnus-x1.net/2012/11/rush-reference-on-colbert-report.html Funny stuff :-)
