vaportrails14 Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 What bands would like to see be a open act if Rush decide not to drop it back in the 90's. Me, i would like to see Godsmack, Sully Erna the lead singer of Godsmack is a Rush fan and one song Serenity he got from reading Neil's book Ghost Rider.

Roddy Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Hevy Devy Townsend. Him sharing a stage with Rush would be beyond words... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Emotions Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 I was thinking about Godsmack as a Rush opener. I don't know if it would work out musically, but I think it would be pretty good. When I caught them opening for Metallica, they did a killer drum duet musical piece, at the end of which they included bits & pieces of classic drum patterns, such as Walk This Way, Moby Dick. Rush was represented twice with Tom Sawyer & YYZ. A killer co-headlining tour would be Rush & Dream Theater, with DT getting at least 90 minutes.

quickfree Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 QUOTE (Roddy @ Apr 7 2007, 09:15 AM) Hevy Devy Townsend. Him sharing a stage with Rush would be beyond words... He'd get booed off the stage. Much like many Rush opening acts of the 90's. I think the only the crowd really enjoyed from the shows I went to was Primus...when they we're still semi-popular.

priest_of_syrinx Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Porcupine Tree! It'd work really well because on the epic 17-minute track of their new album, Alex Lifeson has a guitar solo, so he could come out and do that. How awesome that show would be...

I was going to say that as well, but there will be no opening band (the tickets say "An Evening with Rush". I prefer a 3 hours of Rush as to 1 hour with an opening band then 2 with Rush. I saw I believe It was KISS and Areosmith together in concert, it was a great show with 2 great bands, but I would have rather seen them tour seperatly with 2 full live sets and gone to see them individually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dionysus Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 No opening act! The more Rush, the better! But if they had to use one, I'd say Dream Theater would be pretty cool (have they opened for Rush before?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-D-RocK- Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Meh, they don't need an opener. None of the concert goers would be interested in seeing another lesser known/shitty band play. Some good suggestions though. Carry on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mars On The Horizon Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 Primus is the only other band who has blown me away live besides Rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coder_ Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 If it had to be anyone, I'd say Porcupine Tree. I'd dig it if they played "Arriving Somewhere, But not Here" or ".3" I'm really into them right now after I heard about them two days ago! XD They are the only "modern" band I like XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kudzu Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 Yeah, if it had to be someone, Marillion or Porcupine Tree would both be killer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keakag Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 QUOTE (third hand grace @ Apr 7 2007, 09:42 AM) King's x King's X would be cool. I can't think of another band that is really appropriate. Rush is an experience in itself. Wouldn't you say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Necromancer Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Though i prefer the evening with format... if they ever went back to having an opener... i think it would be cool for them to have bands that at least stack up to them musically. So that leaves out Dream Theater. I'd wager that the roadies would be a better opening act than DT. I'd stay in the parking lot if they ever put DT on the same stage as That being said... i think TOOL would be a good choice to open. They are far and away the best thinking man's metal band in the world today. They'd have to be given a full set though. You can't cut into a band like Tool's setlist. It would be cool to see these two juggernauts together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend of mine always referred to Tool as being a "a pissed off Rush" as a compliment to both bands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
