I say an EP if he's saying a summer tour is possible. I'll just be happy when they're working on something so we can have something to talk about as the rumours start.

rushgoober Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Here's what it says on RIAB: Thursday, December 3, 2009 Geddy Lee: Rush in the studio soon, Summer 2010 tour possible Posted at 12:06PM | link | comments (18) Geddy Lee was a special guest at the 25th annual Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC) Miracle Day charity event yesterday in Toronto. According to reports from a few lucky fans who were there and spoke to the man himself, Geddy said that Rush plans on entering the studio very, very soon and are hoping to then tour this summer. While this is a tentative sort of statement and there has been no official announcement, it's still very encouraging news and seems to corroborate Alex Lifeson's comments from a couple of his interviews over the Summer. In his Prog magazine interview Alex stated the following: ... Tentatively, we start work on the next album in the fall - I did mention it to Ged before he went away on holiday and he sort of looked the other way. Come September and we'll certainly have some plans, we did the last record, or we started on the last album in the fall and I'd like to do that again, start recording maybe. I don't know who might produce, that's some ways off yet. ... And more recently in an interview with Noisecreep.com Alex said: ... Neil and his wife had a baby just a couple of weeks ago, so he's asked if we can just wait a little bit until he gets settled and see how he feels about getting back to work or when to get back to work. So we're sort of playing it open right now. ... I would guess that sometime in the early fall we would get back together and start writing again, and then hopefully by next summer, we'd be ready to tour. So all of this leads me to speculate that Neil must have given the thumbs up for getting back to work when the band met in Los Angeles for their November meeting. My guess is that they won't start recording until after the Holidays at the earliest. So assuming all of this is true, we can start speculating about who will produce, where they will record, when the album will be released, when/where they will tour, etc. Let the speculation begin!

Blenderhead Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Hmm, I don't if I want them to do an EP. I would prefer a full album, but the tour this summer looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt Rush puts songs on records that they think aren't good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atomic Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Why do people equate recording in the new year with an EP? Whose's to say they can't put an album together and release it by early summer? Some of us older fans remember the days when they'd knock out stellar albums in short order (remember in 1975 they put out TWO albums). And if Ged AND Alex are saying record in early 2010 and start touring in summer of 2010, maybe they have some good ideas and pieces already written to bring to the other two guys? Let's be optimistic for a full album by summer followed by a tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilderness_of_Mirrors Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 VERY GOOD NEWS and hopefully theyll play Earthshine on the next tour..... which IS possible because of the Ret. III remix! ANYWAY! NEW RUSH WOOOOO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PariahDog Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Would you EP guys rather have or not have Tai Shan, High Water, etc.? If there were unrelased tracks that were left off of Permanent Waves or Hemispheres, would you want to hear them? Funny, when Rush retires fans will be clamoring for any unreleased material (I hope!). But now, some would rather have Rush release fewer songs. I don't get it.

Let's be optimistic for a full album by summer followed by a tour. I totally agree. They'll never do an EP. If writing and recording the new album takes longer than expected then the tour will be pushed out, the album will not be reduced to accommodate a tour. Come on people this is we're talking about, not Linkin Park! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
