ALifeson85 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 QUOTE (safetygirl2112 @ Apr 3 2012, 06:36 PM) QUOTE (ALifeson85 @ Apr 1 2012, 10:23 AM) I still love how so many people think that Rush THEMSELVES, are the ones keeping the new album and single all "hush hush"...like Geddy, Alex, and Neil are all sitting together right now, in some fancy restaurant, going, "Lets see how crazy and impatient we can make our fans! Wouldn't that be f**king HILARIOUS!?!?!?! ROFL!!!! " It's ROADRUNNER. Roadrunner, folks... This actually doesn't seem that far-fetched to me! I blame Lerxst!

Unattractive Truth Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 What I find strange is the near total absence of Rush from the Roadrunner website. You really have to look just to see they're one of their bands. No news, no hype. Nothing. Rush has always had a terrible web presence (IMHO). Their website goes for months without being updated. But I would have thought Roadrunner would be all over this by now. http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rush-O-Matic Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 The Rush.com website is always the last to post stuff because there are so many people that have to approve content before it can be put "out there." If the Roadrunner PR machine is going to do any pre-release stuff, teases or "leaks" or whatever, it will need to happen today. Otherwise, they might as well just wait until April 19. This is baseball's opening week, the Masters starts tomorrow, Titanic 3D hits theatres, it's Easter . . . anything released tomorrow or over the next 5 days is going to get completely lost in the news cycle.

I dunno. As myself and others agreed upon earlier in this thread, the only people who even CARE about the single are diehard Rush fans like us. I don't know about you, but a new Rush song is more important than any of those other "news cycle" events you listed. Among us, the only people who care about the single, a tease of it wouldn't get lost in the "cycle" at all.

metaldad Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Roadrunner will do with Rush what they do to every other band on that label. Promote the living shit out of it and after a month or two, if RR is not happy with the sales you will see less and less promotion . In a year from now , Rush and or Managment will bitch about "Lack of Promotion" ect, just like every band on RR that does not ship a boatload of albums .

The Cat 3 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Many thanks, sounds completely logical to me. At best, we get a single in two weeks. At worst, we get a new album in about six or seven weeks. Sounds like a win-win to me. Then there is the icing on the cake... ...Clockwork Angels Tour (with the possibilty of "Signals" in it's entirety) I am a very happy Rush fan!

Then there is the icing on the cake... ...Clockwork Angels Tour (with the possibilty of "Signals" in it's entirety) I am a very happy Rush fan! Well you're awfully glass half full, aren't you? After awhile it just feels to me like a big tease, like we're being kind of jerked around. Possible album covers are all well and cool, but what we really want is to hear some material. It gets a bit frustrating going back to the same websites day after day hoping for something concrete and not just heresay and speculation. Anything short of the real thing isn't that impressive to me anymore, it's just more talk. I guess things have always been this way prior to an album release, and maybe we're just spoiled now in the internet age with leaks and previews, etc. Adding to the difficulty is the (sigh... again) 5 freakin' year wait between albums, and almost 2 years since the single was released. If after that anyone is still being incredibly patient, then you must be a really patient person. I don't usually experience this kind of frustration as I rarely care about modern music, but this one I do. In terms of Roadrunner building up anticipation, like I and many others have already said, I don't think it's doing anything for anyone who isn't already a huge fan. Give us a 30 second clip or something and you'd make the fans REAL happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If after that anyone is still being incredibly patient, then you must be a really patient person. This is it my friend. Old days.. heard on radio: "The new album comes out ______, and we'll be playing the new single on _______" and that was it. You lived with it... There was nothing to speculate about Then we ran to the store, bought it, ran home, and listened to it... Back then (70s/80s) form our fav bands we got a record a year. Maybe two years between. Things were different. This has carried on forever... but thats made worse via internet... Edited April 5, 2012 by lerxt1990 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
