Leanne Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 (edited) I just saw this too. I wonder if they will post more pics/messages in the upcoming days. Edited April 1, 2018 by Leanne 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FountainOfSyrinx Posted April 1, 2018 Author Share Posted April 1, 2018 (edited) I will say this: I don't think it's an April Fools joke. I don't see any reason to post something speculative -- what's the point of April Fool's if you say, "Ha! Got ya!" however many days after April 1. But I know nothing. Collectively, nobody knows anything, as we float on this space rock in the middle of a meaningless universe.

edhunter Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 It's the Great Tour Announcement Charlie Brown! I KNEW it would come!!! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entre_Perpetuo Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Theories: 1. This is a very cruel april fools joke, which seems very out of character for Rush 2. this is the Hemisphere's 40th remaster announcement, with blue vinyl...but they've been saving these remasters for November over the past two years... 3. And I really am not sure I even want to let myself hope for this... but there is a slim chance this is a new album announcement... very slim... why would they be so secretive about it though... and act like in recent interviews that there are no future plans...? 4. No it's not a tour announcement. I refuse to believe that. Case closed. I have no idea, and I'm very concerned. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oracle Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Record Store Day is on the 21st. Judging on the image, it's obviously a vinyl LP. Probably just a reissue. Hemispheres 40th is this year, so it makes sense. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a parent was gravely ill, I'd get that but this is a band who doesn't know you from Adam (or Steve). I think this is a great place for Occam's Razor and figure it's probably got something to do with Hemispheres. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say then, just figure it's a nothing burger and when it turns out to be a new album with 50 city tour of the world, you'll be pleasantly surprised. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Every March 31, I remind myself to put no stock in anything that appears online on April 1..especially if it would otherwise raise an eyebrow. So for now, I'll assume it's an Aoril 1 joke. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laughedatbytime Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Peart 's publishers are finally releasing that thousand page book he wrote about the flora and fauna he saw while biking from Orem to St George Utah with random shots at the Mormon church interspersed throughout. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 The OP and I got very different ideas of what 'very cryptic' means. It's a teaser for a blue vinyl from the look of the picture. I don't think it's foreshadowing anything huge. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edhunter Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Peart 's publishers are finally releasing that thousand page book he wrote about the flora and fauna he saw while biking from Orem to St George Utah with random shots at the Mormon church interspersed throughout. 1000 pages on sagebrush and scrub oak. And all Mormon churches pretty much look the same. By design. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tas7 Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 If there is a 40th anniversary release of Hemispheres,please no crap cover versions. Instead give us a decent live version of Cygnus X1 - Book 2, there are a few around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upstateNYfan Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 I'd put serious money on a vinyl release, and am guessing it will be a 40th Hemispheres. No way it's a tour... Neil's tech is on tour with Steely Dan later this year. Among 100 other reasons. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pentagram has been used as a symbol for magic & the supernatural for thousands of years. Ancient Christians used it to depict the five wounds of Jesus. In general, the symbol has represented the forces of Good, so it’s not surprising that Mormons would use it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueschica Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 I'm with Phantom, I don't believe much that comes out on April Fools' Day. If they continue with the teasers, then I'll be interested. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a teaser for a blue vinyl from the look of the picture. I don't think it's foreshadowing anything huge. Fair, but I can't recall seeing anything like that from the band. So that's why it felt cryptic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
