    Rush's Next Studio Album

    in Rush

    I think another strings album, but maybe with less strings that CA. In the past Rush has usually transitions between styles over 3 albums, not just 2. smile.gif

    (Exceptions: HYF -> Presto, VT -> S&A)

    Most likely this but I hope they do something complex

    Why would playing this song be a problem for them?

    Probably the most difficult song in their catalog due to the inordinate complexity of the time signature changes.  Man it's just all over the place.

    It would have to be re-memorized.  It would take them a lot of time to get it tight. 

    I think that it would be one of their great moments in many, many years to reattempt this song.

    Yeah...it's not an easy tune....but come on.

     

    They can play it.

     

    They are just not feeling it.

    I don't play in a band so I don't know exactly how hard it is, but the guitar parts pretty easy to play with the song.

    Could The Set List Be A Sign.......

    The keyboard era i think has some of Neil's best lyrics, some of Alex's most emotive solos, and some of Geddys most accessible singing. I think they are hell bent on making sure that people recognize that it's truly great material despite being smothered in keyboards. The new interpretations with more guitar and less keys truly make them shine. It's just a damn shame many people dont want to be win over and remain stubborn in that it sucks. I certainly would take these new versions of Territories, Manhattan project, Grand Designs, etc over the same old "hit"songs or 70's songs with Geddy struggling to sing em.

    Without a doubt, Neil's best lyrics are on PoW and HYF

    Another setlist tweak in Chicago [SPOILER]

    I honestly don't understand the hate towards Working Man. It represents their beginnings - their roots - what got them noticed in the first place. For full disclosure, I have a sentimental place for that song since I played it in my high-school basement band back in the late 70's.

    I smile every time I see them perform this song live. Always will too.

    It's anything but lazy. Playing those synth era songs is no walk in the park and the reason they scaled back not only with the keys but also the compositions over the last half dozen records. I get the disappointment for some. I do. We all have our favorite songs, albums, eras...but to call playing Grand Designs lazy is just a cop out because it's not some other song.

    It was pretty much spot on for me. As another poster mentioned, they have avoided Power Windows and Hold Your Fire like leprosy since the 90s until Mission came back and then Marathon last tour. PW was my first tour and I have a lot of love for that and HYF so it was a blessing to see those songs again. Another thing that made it a winner was it was my son's first concert and he knows Rush from Clockwork Angels. Not only did he get to see all the music that he was familiar with in the second set but also got to experience the Rush that turned me into a lifelong fan in the first set.

    BIG score guys. Thanks from 2 generations of humble fans.

    I wish they would have played something less predictable on HYF than force 10. Maybe Prime mover or open secrets

    I don't like how it's made into this gigantic media shitstorm every year. It's getting old.

    Yeah. I remember five years back we had a class discussion around when the need for this anniversary would end. Probably never in the US, similar to Pearl Harbor.

    I mean, don't get me wrong, Yeah, it's sad, and it sucked. But, well, yeah... It's time it was relegated to P. H. status, a mention on the news, and that's it.

     

    It's depressing as shit, and I dread the 11th every year.

    I'm sure the families of the 3000 people who were murdered that day dread it too. But probably not even close to how much you do, right?

    Yeah, what about the 24Hundred in Pearl Harbour? Or the hundreds of soliders that were EATEN by the Japanese? All, i'm saying is it shouldn't be a gigantic f***ing media event. Sorry if my opinion offends you. But it's mine, and mine only. I speak for no one except myself.

    Dude...that's just almost heartless sounding. lol.

     

     

    On another note, apparently Ged mentioned something about 9/11. Played a song dedicated to the event?

    If they did dedicate a song to the event it's about as meaningful as when they say the venue they're currently playing is their favourite.

    It seems to me al qaeda are thinking "lol. They're still making a big deal out of it? We sure showed them." IDK -I can't think of better way to word what I'm trying to say

    This band has well over 170 songs in their catalog and each and every one of them is a personal favorite for SOMEBODY.
    There is somebody out there who LOVES Stupidconductor.
    There is somebody out there who LOVES You Bet Your Life
    There is somebody out there who LOVES Dog Years and Virtuality.

    Point me in their direction so I can slap them.

    LMAO

    That made me giggle.

     

    But it's true. I love Tai Shan.

     

    I love Alien Shore, Cut to The Chase....we can go on and on.

    You bet your life was first song I heard by them that wasn't a hit single. I've always loved it
