Maybe we could rename this the Tool Forum, as they are a bit younger. Oh yeah, eight years and counting with no Tool album, geez. And we thought the Rush Hiatus was long.

Darn, I wanted to suggest Len Zeppelin.

LABT, that vote may require handing in your screen name at the door ;) How about laughedatwhenweareyoung? laughingoutloudwithfearandhope ? Reminds me of a Sparklehorse album. .

dt belated congrats for asking Alex that awesome question. Remind me...he clearly said all eras and older material. And said something to the effect of too much 80s recently. I know he rattled off HYF, but he may have 'misremembered' that specific album on the spot as they only played one from HYF last tour. To play along again and again,yes all Rush songs are good/great/ and o word (t/h to TM)...but as this is claimed to be their last tour, to play mostly all repeats (dating back ten years) would be extremely disappointing, if this were real. Anyone thinking it is real, please do so, but please comment on the logic of FOHs Non Disclosure story... then they mail out setlists the next day. Hilarious.

CA tour 6pm opening nite, TRFers still droolling over Jacobs Ladder on the leaked list. Oh yeah, and no ND that tour. How accurate was that back then?

We're getting jumpy in here. It's all a hoax. A cruel internet hoax So, I'm assumming all of this is fake too.... https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xfa1/v/t1.0-9/10409379_10206690689331042_8850925702576342129_n.jpg?oh=40586a5a3a496db22ec549116deb7075&oe=55D493D9&__gda__=1440751924_f5a9d589f326eea4d71967cb9ecb1ff2 I've been a fan a long time, and never recall setlists known before opening nite.Although the swag looks awesome, is that gold or silver? Now its hitting me, duh, they never mailed out tour books before! to make "everyone involved with the tour sign a ND" then mail the set list out, is funny. TM, I ain't jumpy, as work is slow and its actually the highlight of my afternoon. How sad.

What makes this make no sense that it's legit- FOH, who appears to be the real deal, indicated entire staff had to sign ND agreements. So why go thru that headache, then print all the set list in your tour book and MAIL it out before the tour. Now thinking back, CA setlist was NOT KNOWN before opening nite. I'm calling this...its total BS. Done! .

You know TM, I was going to point out the graphic wizardry of the folks that put together Moist, so it could be a gag, but figured I'd already blabbed enough!

Geez TM, as much as I think CA is decent, we just saw them play NINE CA tunes. Like was posted on twitter, all but two of those have been played R30 and since. How this is chronological from all eras as was promised by the band? Ignored first 3 albums and only play 2112 from 4th which is played EVERY TOUR. If there aren't 4-5 rare tunes without video, this will be second huge disappointing setlist to close out their touring careers. Makes their retirement much easier to accept, cuz surely something is lacking. .

That's mostly stuff that's been played since R30- last ten years? Then why get everyone's hopes up they were going to do some rare tunes as a farewell??

We gonna wager where Mr. N's tipping point is? I think he is ready to sell Hemi with the 80s and later, as long as Kings and ATWAS can stick together. For me I need Hemispheres! Curious if any the Synth fans would respond to my question in Your Choice II - Since we the old school fans have our outstanding classics, the essential Rush tunes that are inseparable from the love of Rush itself (LVS, 2112, Xanadu, Cygnus- to name only 4). What are the counterpart songs in the newer era that would make it better than the 70's? For those that dare to vote new era here, what makes it better? Is a New Era Consensus possible? Subdivisions (selling out LVS for shopping malls ?)? I bet your life, thats the only one that would be agreed to ;)

Me and my daughter both born in May!

Both!

BENEATH BETWEEN AND BEHIND!

VS, I agree that talk of painkillers is off the deep end. I wish Neil a happy retirement. It would be nice if he would chat publicly about it, given this is probably the end of the road for him, instead of Alex' optimistic comments about radio city or Massey. So part of the speculation here- of more Rush - is a by product of the bands communication with its fans. If Neil is done in 89 days (WOW!), its gonna be tough seeing older vets play live gigs in the area, Billy Joel, Steven Tyler, Mick Jagger, etc. Thus is the price of "athletic music!" Thank you Rush for the 27+ 2 upcoming shows I have bought tickets for!

I looked it up by the character names but I never saw the show, so I didn't comment. Looks like it wasn't on long. It's still on CBS on Tuesday nights. In it's fourth season. Great show if you like Sci-Fi themed shows. Kind of X-Files~ish. A sci fi show hidden behind a police procedural. Not sure CBS was thrilled about that sci-fi development in the show's arc. Still manages to get 9-10 million viewers, although scripted shows not beginning with NCIS are taking a beating lately in the ratings. Produced by the person who gave us Lost, Fringe and currently in charge of Star Trek and Star Wars...JJ Abrams. (And Jonathan Nolan of Dark Knight fame). Very interesting story who's beginning is influenced by 9/11 and conclusion heads towards 1984....or....2112. I kid you not. .

I didn't see this yesterday and would agree and I could add at least a few more... My top five Rush songs: Chain Lightning Red Barchetta Available Light The Camera Eye Limelight Other major favourites: Xanadu AFTK Marathon Distant Early Warning Cold Fire Sweet Miracle Earthshine Nocturne Hemispheres Cygnus x-1 Bastille Day I definitley favour the post PeW phase of Rush. Ya think?... But it is awkard...favourite songs post- PeW, but as albums, it doesn't get any better than CoS-MP. After that, as much as I love Rush, it is more about the individual songs and less the entire album. And thats the point. Complete awesome albums (IMO 9 of them) against hit or miss and a good song here or there. I will take the former all day long... But....Mr Myles...I think the 70s fans would rally behind the 70s tunes I rattled off above. I could be wrong, but I think there is as close to unanimous love for those songs from the fans of that era. What I was trying to do is see is some of the synth folks would come back with a list of similar list of synth era songs that are irreplaceable and essential Rush. That's what makes it tough to see the synth era on equal footing. Maybe some would say Digital Man, some may say Grand Designs (two good synth songs!) but I'm not sure there would be universal adulation on a par of 70s classics such as LVS, Cygnus, Xanadu or 2112. (BTW, I love Chain Lightning and Available Light so much I may get kicked out of the 70s club!! Not truly Synth tunes, but close enough?) Any takers synthers? .

. Is this what TRF will look like after they retire? Shelly, aren't you going to blow Narps mind with the current famous sitcom star who shares your name? Never watched Seinfeld Mr N, wow. Ok, five hundred credits if anyone can guess (someone must), Geddy: Harold Neil: The Man in the Suit Alex: Elias Zzzzzzzzz... .

Yep. My sons college graduation is this coming Saturday and my folks are coming from Texas on Tuesday to spend the week and my daughter will be coming up too. Hopefully I can catch some of the action with all of the mayhem going on around here... Congrats Mr N, big week for you! Congrats to Rory as well, big come from behind against Casey, and big championship today. Hope y'all get to catch the crown jewel of the PGA TOUR, The Players. Love that course! The biggest tour event of the year! I find it weird all the majors are not run at all by the tour. .

Keegan: Don't tell me to shut up, you shut up and go over there! MAJ: Fine big fella. We kicked your arse last ten Ryder Cups we'll kick your arse again, with or without Tigress! .

Since no one had any issue with the below, nor a single song that could pierce this list.... Posted Yesterday, 06:57 AM La Villa 2112 Cygnus Xanadu AFTK Natural Science Freewill Jacobs Ladder By-Tor Songs that... Beat everything that.... Came after PeW... ...and what the heck is that thing strapped to Lifeson on HYF tour? .

DID YOU EVEN READ THE ARTICLE? "Well, we’re not finished as a band. We still talk about recording. Who knows, there may be an opportunity in the future to do not a big tour, but a series of concerts … like a week in Massey Hall or Radio City Music Hall." -Alex Lifeson The door is not closed. It doesn't matter what Alex, Geddy, or anyone else wants/says. It's NOT their decision. Trust me My Friend, Neil is SLAMMING that door shut and throwing away the key! Wow. Someone speaking truth. Bottom line? Neil IS Rush. I would hope a fair number of us disagree. Although to have a drummer like Neil is awesome, some like the guitarist and bassist just as much. Some of us also love the debut, imagine that. If Alex and Ged were to do a run at Radio City, I'd surely miss Neil, wish him a happy and healthy retirement, but I'd be there in a heartbeat, as many of the shows I can get to. Edit.... Of course I am referring to them touring as Leefson, or LL Cool Ged w/ Al, It's expected the Rush name would be retired. .
