Does Henley even remember saying it? I doubt it.....unless people keep bringing it up to him.... Hopefully, Rush fans will remind him when he takes the stage. Oh yes they will!! RUSH folks need to make sure that place is packed with our people.

Geddy has already said the Setlist is not changing, or maybe that was Alex... and we know how reliable he is. I learned to love the setlist, I forgot how much I like those 80's songs. The buddy that I took really like the setlist because those were his first RUSH albums.

According to the Ticket "Master", Rush has two gigs on Wed. May 1. You can purchase VIP packages for the 12:00 pm show at the Jake Gaither Gym in Tallahassee, FL, then Rush will shoot on over to Nashville, TN for a 7:30 show at the Bridgestone Arena. If the Gym still has the hoops up, maybe Pratt will be up for some one-on-one.

I hope RUSH covers this great song for the RRHOF induction. Lerxst singing of course.

For those who don't know, some years back, Don Henley pissed on RUSH in a mean spirited and arrogant way in an interview he gave about why the Eagles got back together. He said something like "Why would bands like RUSH regroup, yuck." I guess he was unaware they never broke up. http://www.rushisaband.com/images/201301/2597.f.jpg I'm guessing we now know who is introducing RUSH, Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins. Kind of a let down if you ask me. I was hoping for Jimmy Page and Roger Waters.

They're funny enough to host and be the musical guest!!

One or two more points. Geddy is not really a 'Frontman' in the Robert Plant sense. And who the fark are YOU to call it a 'lame' sitcom. I mean, maybe some RUSH fans actually watch that type of dreck. Whatever floats your boat. Don't be so judgmental. It could be worse, Geddy could be doing a cameo on Game of Thrones and we'd all get glimpse of the real Fender Bass.

Why do Rush fans shit on Rush when Rush gets more exposure? Don't they deserve the success? Don't you want to share your band? Alex was in a Canadian vampire move. Geddy is on a very popular American sitcom.

Good thing RS had him review 2112 5.1. Because that makes sense....

Let's split the difference and call it Hard Rock. ....for smart peoples.

In the Mood.

A pleasant faced man steps up to greet you He smiles and says he's pleased to meet you Beneath his hat the strangeness lies Take it off, he's got three eyes For those of you watching the Twilight Zone Marathon on SyFy today, the episode that inspired verse one of The Twilight Zone (2112) just aired, it's called Will The Real Martian Please Stand Up. The other episode referenced in the song is called Stopover in a Quite Town. http://media.cleveland.com/ent_impact_movies/photo/twilightzonemerlin-cle1x00085-9jpg-00cfe16b9fb67b6f.jpg

In order to make everyone happy, they'll do a medley. Then a setlist similar to R30 with Far Cry and CA material. But the songs from CA are so popular with fans, Headlong, The Garden, Caravan, they'd have to play those.

What's up with that?

Alex said in the Eddie Trunk interview "discussing some interesting ideas".... (or something like that) Sounds like Flavor Flav might be joining them for Tom Sawyer remix. Many diehard rush fans may blow a gasket, however I'll remind you Rush are: **polite Canadians **good sports **never afraid to try something new **great sense of humor **never take themselves too seriously... I'm guessing the grand finale will involved Heart and Rush playing Led Zeps Rock and Roll. That's the obvious choice since Heart has already covered it and Rush are fans of Led Zep. And the song is a classic. And Neil can solo at the end.

They've done it many years at the Waldorf Astoria ballroom in NYC. So chill. Nokia live holds 7100. It's a great venue in downtown L.A.

Justin can have a drum off with Pratt.

All-Star Jam? Yikes. Heart does a pretty decent version of Led Zeps Rock and Roll. But other then that, I don't see much overlap in any of the artists playing with RUSH. Last years jam finale was Stevie Wonder's Higher Ground performed by a good mix of cool musicians.

2012 Ceremony - G&R played 3 songs, but only two (Sweet Child, Paradise City) made the HBO cut.

The Apocalypse? Wow thats kinda harsh! :fury: When I think Rush, I don't think the Superbowl. It's not ugly, It's just.....void. The 1/2 time show is a pain the ass, actually. It's a half hour for people to eat and go to the bathroom. They should put up a test pattern or a yule log for a half hour and stop wasting everybody's time. That makes no sense. The Super-Bowl has become one of the most watched televised events. It's an event. People watch for the spectacle. It doesn't feel like a RUSH moment, but still, a RUSH-Metallica-Van Halen jam could be cool. It takes a good half-hour to inject novocain in the linemen's knees and the defensive coaches need to plug the holes. That's Pro-Football—the possibility that the 2nd half could offer a comeback or down to the last play contest.

I'm watching the 2012 Ceremony on HBO On Demand. It looks like two songs, tops. **The inductee gets an intro with video clips giving a history and importance of the band. **Then the band takes the stage and says thank you. **Then the band jams (possibly with other musicians) -- OR other musicians play 2 songs by the band. e.g. for 2012 the Beastie Boys songs were performed by Kid Rock with a backing group. While the Faces minus Rod Stewart took the stage and performed Stay with Me. NOTE: Faces actually performed a 3-song set at the ceremony, but only one song made the cut of the HBO show.

It would never happen, but I'd love to see Robert Plant and Jimmy page walk out there and say... "It's about f***ing time."

This guy fails at failing. He's one of the two Pop Music Critics that shit on RUSH back when they were nominated. His writing is as relevant as his music.... wait, he's never produced anything of note. Yep. That sums up his life. In the video that he put out back when RUSH was nominated, he talked about listening to RUSH back when he was a wee little musician, but started hating them when he found out the 3 chords of a Clash song were easier to play. Learning those three chords made him feel like a man again. RUSHs complexity and depth hurts his fingers and his head. He's bitter his friends didn't get invited to the cool kids party. I googled Kraftwork and the page came up blank... Then finally Kraft Cheese. How does it feel to not be taken seriously? Let's interview this tool and find out.
