Planet X-1

I doubt Olivia has changed her mind yet.

Well, PeW is an 80s album....right? here fishy fishies.... :P

Why the hate for PeW? ;)

Yes, and here`s proof.... Lifeson Howe Buckethead

No. :( What if he was thinking about it? I quite Imagine it would be these thoughts that confirm his decision to retire for good.... Why would it? Hmmmm...ok another angle.....would you hang out with a complete stranger for a day?

Now that's a novel idea! Not really, there's been plenty of threads suggesting this very idea! :P :sigh: I know, that was my point. :P (I was intending to be just a wee bit sarcastic). ditto ;)

Now that's a novel idea! Not really, there's been plenty of threads suggesting this very idea! :P

The story goes that Neil first heard about R40 from a radio interview with Alex....old Al finallly floats a rumor and nails it.... :P

SIEZE HIM!!! Seize them both !!!

Then here`s to hoping that time drains his bank account. :P

That will never happen. They'd lose money. Well, that and the fact that Neil will NEVER play live again. lol OK, I understand that about Neil. I don't understand the losing money part. How did the Allman Brothers do their residencies at the Beacon Theatre for more than 20 years if that type of arrangement loses money? Billy Joel has been doing once a month shows at Madison Square Garden that continue all through this year. I'm not being snarky, I just don't understand the finances. Are you saying the production values of a Rush show are pretty pricey and it takes many, many tour dates (not just a week) to pay for the show? The 1st part. While I do not know the exact details of the Allman Brothers specific contract, it probably is a set dollar amount. We as fans think the artist is getting the gross amount. On an extended stay that is rarely the case. The artist usually gets a promised amount from the venue in exchange for a certain number of shows. So in this case the Beacon sits 2800, and if the Allmans play 5 nights they may get a set amount of say $500,000. Now that is without a single ticket being sold. Beacon can turn around with Citi and sell 2800x$100 for $280,000 times 5 shows for $1,400,000. This way both win. It's No difference then telling a band at your bar, we'll pay you $400 for each night + free booze. If the bar is charging a $20 cover and no one shows up, the band still gets paid..if 1000 people show up over 2 days, the bar wins. Santana and Billy Idol have deals in place for 15 shows a year at House of Blues in Vegas. That place only sits 700. No way they make money without getting a Set dollar amount for each show. The casino wants bodies 'In the building' and they will get it. All true. However, I don't think Rush has the diverse fan base required for an "extended stay" like that to be successful for the venue. So, that won't happen. Well, that and the fact the Neil will NEVER play live with Rush again. :D Well, then it's time for a new drummer and off to R01... :P

I'm sure kNeel is now brainwahsing Olivia into believe Rush and touring 'daddy' never existed.....

Neil's probably thinking..."why the hell is he looking at me?....stop looking at me....I gotta get outta here...scowl.....'

^^^ that rulz :D

Alex, I'll take Victor for $400.... "Victor" is NOT a RUSH album......so....http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j223/OldRUSHfan/Insults/bullshit3.png :banana: Alex, I'll take "Favorite Alex Lifeson Lyrics Songs" for $500 ...like taking candy from a baby, well and old one that is.... :D

Alex, I'll take Victor for $400....

It's official - I'm not gay.... :P

I think the date is 1979, and Rush was touring with Max Webster. The only problem appears the white Rick 4001. I don;t think Geddy nor the bassist for MW played one..... Interesting name on the guitar as well... "Lars M" Alex's alter-ego? :D

The best we can hope for is a studio album with co-packaged performance videos ala Moving Pictures.....

which is Neil speak for 'no friggin way'

Thanks to Kneel Yes and Rush now have nothing in common. :P

Rio is the best...unless you`re prone to rapid-camera-motion-sickness.....
