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.

This is the sound of my brain.
Then I said, this is the sound of my brain on Don Henley!
Then I said, 1 2 3 4...
He's a tortured artist
Used to be in the Eagles
Now he whines
Like a wounded beagle
Poet of despair!
Pumped up with hot air!
He's serious, pretentious
And I just don't care
Don Henley must die!
Don't let him get back together
With Glenn Frey!
Don Henley must die!
Turn on the TV
And what did I see?
This bloated hairy thing
Winning a Grammy
Best Rock Vocalist?
Compared to what?
But your pseudo-serious
Crafty Satanic blot
Don Henley must die!
Put a sharp stick in his eye!
Don Henley must die!
Yea yea yea
Quit playin' that crap
You're out of the band
I'm only kidding
Can't you tell?
I love his sensitive music
Idiot poetry, swell
You and your kind
Are killing rock and roll
It's not because you are O L D
It's cause you ain't got no soul!
Don't be afraid of fun
Loosen up your ponytail!
Be wild, young, free and dumb
Get your head out of your tail
Don Henley must die!
Don't let him get back together
With Glenn Frey!
Don Henley must die!
Put him in the electric chair
Watch him fry!
Don Henley must die
Don Henley must die
No Eagles reunion
The same goes for you, Sting!
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.

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!!

How I Met Your Mother': James Van Der Beek among guest stars for final Robin Sparkles installment
by Sandra Gonzalez
After the last new episode of How I Met Your Mother, executive producer Craig Thomas promised EW a star-studded fourth and final installment of the Robin Sparkles saga, and today, CBS announced the huge list of expected guest stars.
Scheduled to appear in the Feb. 4 episode are: Alan Thicke, James Van Der Beek, Paul Shaffer, Jason Priestley, Alex Trebek, K. D. Lang, former Barenaked Ladies frontman Steven Page, Rush frontman Geddy Lee, and former Canadian hockey player Luc Robitaille.
The appearance will mark Thicke’s fourth time making a cameo in a Robin Sparkles-centric episode, and this will be Van Der Beek’s second time on the show. In past episodes, Thicke has played himself while Beek portrayed Simon, Robin’s first boyfriend who also appeared in her “Sandcastles in the Sand” music video. Trebek has also previously appeared on the show.
How I Met Your Mother, which recently was rumored to be returning for a ninth season, returns with new episodes Jan. 14.
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.

Rob Sheffield's two favorite songs of 2012?
Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae Jepsen
We are Never Ever Getting Back Together by Taylor Swift
I am not kidding.
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.

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.

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.

"This video contains content from Warner Chappell and UMG. It is not available in your country"
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.
-
So the Hall isn't where they do the Induction?
LMAO! Shows you how much I think of them.
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.

If they play the Superbowl, then kiss yer butt goodbye, Why?
Because IT'S THE APOCALYPSE!!!!!! :outtahere: :outtahere: :outtahere:
Don't do it :rush: Please don't
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."

Another critic that just or won’t take the time to understand Rush or research what he is writing about
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.
Don Henley at RRHOF Induction - Awkward
in Rush

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.
