losingit2k Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I think that's their Goal! to retire after 20 Studio Albums and the follow up tour called " A Farewell to Fan"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushgoober Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I highly, highly doubt it, and I voted no. Maybe another tour in 2014 - R40, but no new album Consider: ~ albums every 5 years, I just don't see one in 2017 ~ they always tour after every album (and often without an album), so that means they're touring in 2017/2018 - Geddy's voice will never hold out that long, and they've just been doing it too long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't be what you want and you'll add that it's still not as atrocious as Vapor Trails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdFireYYZ Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I doubt it. I think its more likely that we'll see a solo album from Geddy or Alex though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

micgtr71 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I'm just amazed that they are still going. I thought HYF was going to be their last. Then I thought T4E was going to be there last especially due to the problems Neil went through. At close to 41 years old and nearly 30 years of my relationship with them, I am glad for what I can get. If they do, great. If they do not, I still think that it has been a great ride.

New World Kid Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 There could be a 20th album. I think musicians never get music out of them, and while this may be the last tour, I can't see them retiring and quitting cold turkey. Maybe they get back together and release original studio content, and that's it. I can see that. No stresses of touring, just show up to the studio for a few months of the year, record, and then enjoy semi-retirement status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madra sneachta Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 What's clear, particularly from the end of "Beyond the Lighted Stage", is that they genuinely love each other's company, and making music together. More recordings, yes. Another tour? I have my doubts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilbertk Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I'm not sure.. I know Neil said he thought they were past the album format, and I wouldn't really mind that. I'd be just fine if they released one or two new songs a year instead of one album every 5 years (I mean for cryin' out loud, when did they become Tool??) I don't think they have anything planned though. I doubt we will have a farewell tour because I honestly don't thing they'll ever be able to say "we're done" until one of them physically can't do it anymore. I think they love it too much to just call it quits without a damn good reason. But for album 20? I wouldn't be surprised at all. I mean good lord, the Rolling Stones are still kicking and Mick Jagger is 10 years older than Geddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilbertk Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I also wouldn't be surprised to see tours shorten though.. I'm amazed they haven't started doing scattered month-long tours yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel the same way. They've never ceased to amaze me so I wouldn't completely discount the possibility of them making it to 20. They still have the desire, the chops and, most importantly, the creativity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm amazed they haven't started doing scattered month-long tours yet. There's too much overhead to do it that way. They'd end up losing a lot of money over time. The only way a tour with the shows that they prefer to do is affordable is if they do it in multi-month legs. If they scaled the shows back, did maybe two hours, no pyro, way fewer lights... maybe. But that's not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could do a 4-5 song EP every year from now until the cows come home, tour every 3-4 years, and I'd be a happy guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D3strukt Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I love how everything thinks Rush puts on long tours. Bullshit. Try touring for 2 years straight, then you can say that their tours are long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg2112 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I think this is their final proper album of new material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilb1972 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I'd be inclined to believe that they will stop touring after an R40, but stop making records? I don't think so. I think they have one at least left in them. They can make records and not tour. I think they could do another two albums before they pack it in for good.
