Rush gets cover of PROG mag this month!

[blueschica]

It was on the Rush Instagram today that this month's cover of PROG mag will feature Rush and the AFTK 40th anniversary-

 

 

It's a UK magazine, but hopefully it can still be found in Barnes and Noble maybe? Or you can order single copies from the UK for about $18.50 from this website- (don't ask how I know . . .). http://www.english-m...bscription.aspx

Woah! Magazines still exist?

I'm so sad they're done. When I see this I am glad but it's also a reminder—how long til the talk dies down and the band drops out of view?

 

They will never leave my current playlists, but it's always been nice know that somewhere out there, they are on tour or working on something new.

 

Just another reminder of the universal mortality I suppose. All good things.

This comment has been made a thousand times before. They aren't done. Worldwide touring yes, but nobody said that they're done with music.

Yeah, I think you're right! It seems like Neil participated in the PROG interviews in the past.

In Neil's mind, it would be like an accountant retiring, and five years afterwards getting a call from a customer wanting him to handle something for them. He has retired from music, so music related "work" is off the table now. Now, if Parenting Magazine called...

They carry PROG at my Barnes & Noble...I'll have to check it out.

[Digital Dad]

It also has pieces on Peter Hammill and Godley and Creme.

Classic Rock Magazine is even sold at selected supermarkets here, but for Prog Magazine you´d have to go to Indigo or any other bookstore, I think...

Barnes & Noble still exists?

Yep Prog mag turns up in my newsagent each month.Sometimes i buy it if i am flush(its $20 aus)and it looks interesting.Definitely get this one.

[New_World_Man]

Cool. I get this magazine regularly at the book store(I don't subscribe). I'm guessing it will sell out fast the same way anytime they have Steven Wilson/PT or Pink Floyd on the cover. ELP or Yes not so much. Lol.

[EagleMoon]

Definitely getting this one if the article is more than a couple pages long. Otherwise not worth it.

Since there are only like, 4 prog bands anyway, does Rush making the cover warrant an exclamation point in the thread title?

100% that's exactly what happened, lol

 

You know, at this point I have a small newfound respect for Neil. When he said he was retiring, he meant it. No ifs ands or buts about it. You can call it stubborn, even selfish, but it's definitely honest and he's sticking to his guns. I hope his family has a wonderful life. :)

Just like Bill Bruford.

It's 14 pages long.

I'd recommend investing :) Some photos in there I've never seen even after all these years...

Do you think anyone even bothers asking him to contribute to something like this these days?

 

I've said a bunch of times that I believe Neil was so pissed off about having to do the R40 tour that he wants nothing to do with the band or its legacy right now. Time may soften his view as I can't imagine he'll never do another interview regarding the music that Rush has created.
