Remember, most of the songs on Vapor Trails were over 5 minutes....and almost every song on that album sucked ass. Lets hope the mew album is as melodic and awesome as Snakes and Arrows. Thats what I'm hoping for at least. Speak for yourself. I like VT better than SnA. I like getting the Flu more than i like S&A

I'm sure there's an awesome cover band playing. I, for one would rather hear Alex's Faithless solo then Subdivisions for the 3000th time. I suppose I'm in the minority, but when I cough up 150.00 to see Rush, I actually look forward to hearing new music.   I didn't have the pleasure of seeing the Moving Pictures tour back in 81' but I'm sure there were fans totally distraught by the number of songs they played off of that HORRIBLE album! "F@#K Camera Eye, they should play Necromancer!"   Haters really do suck.

Well said.   Keep in mind that Clockwork Angels is a conceptual work, so it's very possible they may choose to play a good bit of it in one big block. Gonna be all pissed off about that?   What if all or most of CA is conceptual and they came out and played all of it as the 1st or 2nd set? Porcupine Tree played The Incident in its entirety from the start of each show on their last tour, so not completely unheard of.

No it was actually a great idea - I remember grinning ear to ear the entire time, knowing how pissed off some fans would be that Rush had the audacity to devote five consecutive songs to new material. It was ballsy and just shows that while they care about their fans, they are more interested in pleasing themselves rather then cater to people who aren't interested in their current work

 

And from what I recall, the tour did pretty well lol.

 

I hope they play Clockwork Angels in its entirety.

Its astonishing to me that people still wihine about having to endure a lot of new material at a Rush show.

 

Uhm, Its a Rush show.

That's fine, but that's not certainty, IMO.   S&A isn't my favourite Rush record by far, but if even one of those songs reaches someone in the crowd, then that's awesome.

[presto123]

Most of the songs on SnA don't jive with being good live songs. Slow tempos and lack of jam sections. If they play a lot of CA live I think they will go over much better because I think most of these songs will be built for live performance. The way Caravan and BU2B were received last tour kind of supports this. I think they are two of the better songs on the TM video and I have a feeling there will be even better live tracks coming from CA.

Right - and everyone hates Roll the Bones, despite the fact that it receives thunderous applause every time they play it.

 

No one is ever going to argue that the old standards don't get the audience more charged up then new material, but the new material is always well received and the band should be commended for always including fresh material in their set rather then resting on their laurels.
