Phantom Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Rumor only at this point, but the latest from RIAB suggests the tour may kick off in the fall. If that's the case, I certainly hope that that doesn't mean the album comes out in the late summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trenken Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I hope its in the fall/winter, this way I can see them indoors more. I dont love seeing them outside. The sound is so weak since its able to escape into the air. Indoors though I can feel Neil's bass drum kicking me in the nuts, and I love it! Yeah the sound is muddier indoors, but thats alright. I need that power that you cant get outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queslington Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I think the album being released in spring is a sure thing. I've already seen Roadrunner records advertisements that say "Clockwork Angels coming spring 2012". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeaveMyThingAlone Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I really hope everything is ok within the band health wise. To me, it seems odd to switch the kickoff from may to september. it certainly will hurt the financial success of the tour as the rush fanatics are much less likely to travel to see the band. Also, Rush has stated consistently they love playing outdoor shows more than indoor, and a tour around this time means many more indoor shows So again it all seems odd and there is no plus side to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upstateNYfan Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 It seems a fall tour is more likely. From a marketing/financial perspective, touring so soon is much more risky since they were on the road less than a year ago. Plus, bands that attract a similar demographic will be touring starting this spring. Although the band does like the outdoor shows for comfort reasons, from a business perspective it makes much more sense to delay it. Either way, I'll be hittin' the road--wherever and whenever!

ColdFireYYZ Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Is Neil's daughter in school yet? If she is, he probably would want to spend the summer with his family and tour when his daughter goes to school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just said May like a few days ago. edit: Looks like the latest rumor is Fall now but that could change again. Sucks if it's Fall because that could give them an excuse to push back CA release. I want the record even more than the tour. Edited January 26, 2012 by presto123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexmai Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Also Kiss seems to take the summer off... probably there are too many big names around, very risky... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ya_Big_Tree Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Last I heard the album was finished. They are just fixing it up for release hopefully early Spring like they first planned. I hope that means summer/fall tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted January 26, 2012 Author Share Posted January 26, 2012 If it is a fall tour, I imagine the decision is/was multi-factorial. In some ways, it seems like they just came off the road, it wouldn't suprise me if they wanted their break to be just a bit longer. As much as they enjoy playing live, both Neil and Ged have expressed how much they don't like being away from family. A fall tour allows them to have the summer to spend with family. A fall tour also allows Ged to indulge his passion for baseball throughout the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was already planning to schedule my vacation around the tour! Now its only the nearby cities. But oh well, at least it may be indoors instead of the sheds outside! Regardless, I'll be there! I want the album now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilb1972 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I really hope the album release is still fixed for the spring. The anticipation has gone from excitement to agitation to dang near apathy. If they wait until the summer to release the album the joy of wanting it will be just about gone. As for the tour, it is what it is. Gives me more time to save money. Just don't delay the album any longer guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm planning on road tripping it with my daughter but there won't be nearly as many shows when the weather turns. It doesn't make sense to me because not only does Ged like baseball but Neil rides to the shows and I can't imagine riding everyday/every other day in inclement weather will make him a happy man. Plus, and this is a big one, Ged does all he can to avoid getting a cold which always seems to happen to him when they tour in cold weather.

Ventris Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 A fall tour would be great because then I have a greater chance of being able to go. I will be done with my training by summer and free by fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Middle Kingdom Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I'm hoping they go with the spring release, and another tour of the "sheds" around North America. That would definitely get me out to a handful of area shows and possible road trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HemispheresserehpsimeH Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I honestly can't see how CA would be delayed. They worked pretty consistently almost right up until Christmas, even finishing before they thought they would, and it's already being finished up. I mean, maybe not late April like the rumour says, but I don't see it being delayed any further than May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Killer Rabbit Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Fall eh! Well if it is, Id love that being Im sick of the Marcus and dealing with the Summerfest a'holes in Milwaukee. If it wasnt for the summerfest crowds, Id love the Marcus... I wish they would actually go back to Alpine Valley Last time I went tto the marcus, I took my mom and shes 60, and they decided to seperate the guys from the girls and she was very upset when they were searching her. I guess the reason they started that was becasue there was some kind of gang violance there. Get this though, I had my recording stuff with and she played it off saying it was a video camera for the fair!! EPIC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozzy85 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Wonder where they will play here in Washington if they play indoors... some of the venues have changed in the last decade plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted January 27, 2012 Author Share Posted January 27, 2012 I'm left wondering if the tragedy of Andrew McNaughton's sudden passing has anything to do with delaying the start of the tour. Given how close the guys were to Andrew, I imagine that that last thing they are ready for at this point is to go out on tour and celebrate.
