Nuts&Bolts Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Have a cousin, was and still is a long time Rush fan, that has defected to DT as his favourite band, messaged me sayin he heard that DT might tour with Rush. Anyone heard this??? I personally dont believe it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
furie Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 i doubt it. Rush hasn't had an opening act since the counterparts tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
losingit2k Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 (edited) I doubt it! I would love it, but I don't think can go back to having shows with opening acts. They have way too much material and the fans basically expect a 2 & 1/2 to 3 hour show now! It's been and will continue to be An Evening with since they began with the Test For Echo Tour!

Ancient Ways Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I hope not. Just want to see Rush - no one else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burgeranacoke Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 No and no thanks, nothing against Dream Theater, but why would I want Rush to share the stage with anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigershark2112 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 NO! I know this isn't true, but even the THOUGHT of it makes me sick. Plus, they have already had official promos with the "An Evening With Rush" format, so it's definitely not happening. Dream Theater would ruin my night! I can only handle them in very small doses.

J2112YYZ Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 If it was gonna happen it would've already. The best thing about Rush live is that it's just them and that's the way it should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
They Bow Defeated Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I'm sure someone will say that Rush should open for Dream Theater. I hope it doesn't happen due to the shortening of Rush's set. But it would make Geddy's live vocals sound much better to all the doubters in comparison to James LaBrie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdFireYYZ Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Rush and Dream Theater are two of my favorite bands but I would hate this. Rush would essentially only play their greatest hits and a few new songs. If this did happen Mike Portnoy would be pretty pissed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cygnus_thegodofbalance Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 No, because Dream Theater is a bleeping terrible band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarkus406 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Dream theatre eats a fat dick. If they toured with Rush I would skip out on any of the shows. I'd do anything to see Rush, but not if the integrity of the show becomes compromised by a wailing fatsack and a chuggachuggachugga weedlyweedlyweedly heavy metal guitarist.

Nuts&Bolts Posted April 25, 2012 Author Share Posted April 25, 2012 Didnt think it was true, was just asking if anyone else heard this. Not to dismiss DT, but who would or could open for Rush, last time I saw anyone open for them was Candlebox, Countrparts tour. Seattle-based rockers Candlebox were guests on the syndicated radio talk show Bubba the Love Sponge this past Friday. You may recall that Candlebox opened several dates for Rush 15 years ago back on the Counterparts tour. At one point in the interview the band were asked who was the coolest band they ever toured with. Here's how they answered: Rush. The coolest mofos in the world. ... They gave us everything. I mean they were really cool - we used to play wiffle ball with Geddy ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuts&Bolts Posted April 25, 2012 Author Share Posted April 25, 2012 I dont expect anyone to believe this, but during that tour for Counterparts, my cousin and I won front row seats.

The K Man Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Dream Theater is great, but no way is Rush gonna go back to having an opener, especially one of the prog metal variety. And I am not surprised that Candlebox said that about the band. The band said in Contents Under Pressure that because they were treated so badly in their early days by Aerosmith, that they were always really good to their opening acts and always made sure they got everything they needed.

Maybe, but when I saw Rush for the Power Windows tour they had Marillion open for them and I would have thought that they would not be a opening band for anyone at the time. They were just about bigger than they ever were at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
