Amazing numbers. There aren't many bands and artists anymore who could fill all those buildings.

More numbers are up:
Tried to edit my initial post and add these there but can't. Doesn't make any sense.

Jacob Moon's (I think that's his name) acoustic version of Subdivisions is pretty good. Rush themselves were impressed. That's the highest praise possible
Yeah it's this one. Pretty damn good and original way to perform the song.

Me too dude. It's making me crazy. What do we do? Wanna come down to Goatnut and play GI Joe?My body clock says we've skipped a night and it's time to scope a Rush show. It'll take a while to get used to the tour being over.
Sigh.
Become a Stones fan. They're not going to quit anytime soon.

Moon was a great drummer. But I think Pete Townshend is the Who.
I'm in my mid-30's so I can't say anything about the "good old days" with Keith... but Simon Phillips 1989 was a good stunt. They performed Tommy with a big band... Phillips on the drums... loved it.
Kenney Jones was shit though.

Presence is a good album... a band like Zep has never made a bad one.
Achilles is among the best songs Zep ever recorded... .but in their catalog is among the worst as an ALBUM, imho. Coda has its moment (Bonzo's Montreux, Wearing and Tearing) but that's their worst. Presence close second. PG isn't all that great, either.
Why?
It's called.... "music taste". :D

Tea For One is hugely overrated.Excellent, underrated album. Fool in the Rain and Carouselambra are great. Even Hot Dog is funny rockabilly.
Better album than Presence, which has only one great song (Achilles). Tea For One, for example, is boring as hell.
Funny how ITTOD is regarded as a keyboard-dominated album, but at the same time it has some of Jimi's greatest guitar solos: In the Evening, South Bound Saurez, I'm Gonna Crawl...and All My Love takes the silver medal for tackiest keyboard solo in rock history, with Light My Fire taking gold by a landslide.
You know... Led Zep was my "first band". I worshipped them. Still do.
They moved to "progressive waters" with ITTOD and tried something new. They experimented with a lot of interesting stuff.
That era tried to take rock music one step forward... but then came punk and took it 20 years backwards. Album like ITTOD was bound to get bad reviews... using synths was a major no-no... Tom Scholtz even recorded Third Stage (great album tho) 100% without synths... it was something to brag about. Ridiculous.
Somehow I've always felt that ITTOD has some similar elements as Moving Pictures. Can't put my finger on it... but it represents the same era of rock music. MP of course is much more complete album... but as a lifelong Zep fan I always thought that Rush's 80's albums continued where Zep ended. When Rush took the keyboards away they lost their magic... when they came back with CA (songs like The Garden) the magic was back. Big time. Also... the Presence sucks (besides Achilles of course) partly because the material isn't that great... partly because JPJ's keyboard have been mixed so "behind everything".
It would have been interesting to hear more keyboard-oriented Zep albums.
Probably doesn't make any sense but I wrote it anyway. :D

It'd probably be like kissing your sister.... or a Toronto Maple Leafs fan going to watch a hockey game when his team moved to AHL.

I'd go to see them. But they shouldn't call it Rush.
Led Zep at least had an excuse. Bonham is dead.

I'm currently searching for Queensrÿche forums to hang out at but those people have issues as well.
I got booted off one of the main ones a few years ago because I got tired of the majority of posters and even moderators crapping all over newer QR and let them have it. I was sticking up for records like Tribe and American Soldier and they didn't like it. One of the most "clique" boards I've ever seen. To get criticized for actually sticking up for the band.
Liking Sammy Hagar's Van Halen created the exact same reaction here.
I'm European,,, and I found out it's against the Great American Culture to dislike a drag-queenish, ultra-egoistic, shitty singer that is Dave. :D
PS: QR's Empire is a kick ass record.

Do they live in huge mansions or just in ordinary houses?
They could afford to live in a castle and drive fancy cars but that's probably not their style.
Given their modest image I suspect they own just normal houses and cars. Geddy probably owns a Volvo. :D
-
??
Led Zeppelin fans asked the same question in 1982 after Coda. Or actually 1979 after ITTOD.
That's 35 years ago. The band and its members never went away and became more popular than ever.
I am happy that Rush go away now... still on top of their game. Clockwork Angels is a fantastic album. If that was the last one, I'm happy with that as well.

Rush 22 show $24,6 mill. Average Attendance 13,062 Average Gross $1,118,000
Rush kicks Shania Twain's arse easily. Not bad for a band that has no hits. :D
New Kids on the Block are on the list too? WTF!!! They're still touring? Seriously?
-
I've been listening to all MK versions of Genesis for two weeks. I can't get enough.
I think this band is better than Rush. Phil has a bad back and tendonitis. Neil has chronic tendonitis.
It's so sad but that's life!!
I think the Genesis Canon is better than the Rush Canon.
Hell I think "Calling All Stations" is a fuckking masterpiece. "Cockwork Anals" is not.
Love,
The "DUKE" Of Earl
Look me in the eye son... are you on drugs?
-
Is this just ticket sales or does it include the sale of all Rush trinkets too?
I seriously doubt that that includes merch. While talking with "some people" last tour, the subject came up of how much each of them (Geddy, Alex, & Neil) make per show. What I was told is between $250K and $300K.
So, in answer to the other thread question: What are Geddy, Alex, & Neil doing right now? My guess would be... counting piles of cash! :D
After 40 years of touring... last 30 in the biggest arenas in the US and Europe... there's no ifs and buts... those "modest guys from Toronto" must be rich as hell. :D
