Earthshine Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Rush could have anyone produce their next album. I would like it to be Nick again, but who knows if that will happen. As we know, sometimes they like a breath of fresh air; a different point of view. I think he would work wonders with Rush. I recommend Ken Scott. Not only is he a producer, but also an engineer. Here is some footage of him and some footage of him with drummers! With Billy Cobham: With Rod Morgenstein: With Terry Bozzio: I have no idea why Rush have not worked with him in the past when they were trying out different producers.

GrandDesigner Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Steven Wilson should just produce every album made from here on out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mankad89 Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 I thought Snakes & Arrows sounded wondrous, so whoever produced that album is A-OK with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trenken Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Ken Scott is way too old school. The guy is a dinosaur. This band needs younger guys to give them a more modern sound, since the band themselves are old. They really dont need an ancient producer. Id much rather see a guy like Brendan O'Brien. He works with bands like Incubus, really great at creating a traditional sound, but very full and modern. I cant imagine what a guy like this could do for Rush.

oldphilly Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Honestly I think they should just produce it themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mara Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 I think it's pretty much a foregone conclusion at this point that it's going to be Nick again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldphilly Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 So what was so special about Nick's production again? Was it the sloppy and obvious punch-ins in Far Cry? Or the overuse of Geddy backing vocals and harmonies throughout the album? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy isnt really a great producer, but after VT, it was a significant improvement. But no he isnt really highly regarded in the industry at all. He doesnt work on too many big projects. He's good at creating a good, safe sound. But I dont think he's nearly adventurous enough for a band like Rush, who really need to just try something new, get an exciting new sound going on.

I don't like Incubus either. What is wrong with old school? Most of those albums sound great compared to the over-produced albums we so often hear today with pro-tools and the like. So you would not want George Martin either I guess? You don't think Ken is up on all the modern production techniques and more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't think Ken is up on all the modern production techniques and more? Hell no I dont want George Martin anywhere near Rush. The 60s are over man, there's a different sound going on now. Rush is an old band, why not bring young guys in to spice it up, help them find an exciting new sound. Im not looking for Rush to sound like the Beatles, or anything from back then, its been done before, time to move on, explore new territory before they hang it up. Get adventurous. I couldnt stand S&A. It sounded clean, but it has such a lame 60s vibe to it, I thought it was very boring and too safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George has produced many more bands other than The Beatles. Have you heard The Mahavishnu Orchestra Apocalypse? What about UFO No Place To Run?

Earthshine Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 My only concern with Nick is that he is such a Rush fan that they might not think he is objective enough (or that he was not enough in the past also) and they may think he is trying to bring back their past (epic songs, maybe even use old equipment such as the Moog synthesizers, etc.). I have nothing against it, but I am concerned that the band might. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
