yyzyy Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 As much as I love Dream Theater, and I would love to see them open for Rush...it just doesn't feel right to see someone open for Rush anymore. Maybe if it was a festival show and Rush was headlining and DT go on right before them, that would be friggin' sweet. But as for a whole tour, I just don't want to see it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snyder80 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Nothing against DT or anyone who is a fan of theirs but they shouldn't be sharing a stage with Rush. Influence and the so-called great debate about weather or not Mike Portnoy is better than Neil Peart (which personally I find laughable) aside, they have no business opening for one of the greatest bands of all-time. I, too, would sell my ticket the day of that announcement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snaked Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Like I said earlier in the thread it's not going to happen THIS year... that being said I wouldnt be surprised at all if RoadRunner lobbies to put together a tour of their proggy bands next summer. A 1 month shed tour with some combination of; Dream Theater Porcupine Tree Opeth And possibly; Nightwish and/or Trivium as openers All of this with RUSH as the headliner. It would be a win/win/win for all involved... except the most die-hard RUSH fans would be put off with the 2 hour set instead of the 2:25 or so we'll be getting in the new fangled "Evening with..." format.

ucsteve667 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 last opener I saw was Primus, and that was awesome but... dont see that ever happening again. but Ill echo the rumored RUSH sentiment on DT why does it take 5 guys to make the same music we can make with 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowdogged Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I'm sure that Rush knows that their hardcore fans would not be too happy if they went back to having opening acts and playing 90 minute shows again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trenken Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Dont believe it for 1 second. In the early-mid 90s, sure it would have made sense when DT was still relevant, but not now. First of all I used to be a huge DT fan, but they are horrendous now. They dont even deserve to open for Rush these days. And second, Rush has just way too much music to only play for an hour and a half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmotionDetector Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I love DT...they are great. But like others have said, simply put, Rush should not have any opening band. Period. The 'Evening With' format is the best thing for them at this stage in their careers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jomboni Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I can't see them bringing ANY opening band unless they get so old that they can't play a 2 1/2 hour set anymore, and at that point I'd imagine they'd retire instead. But who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But who knows? I'll tell you who knows, since you asked. The band, their management, the promoters, LiveNation & TicketMaster that are selling tickets, and the company that put together the ads for the tour. You know, the one that reads "AN EVENING WITH RUSH." If you're new to Rush's concert scene, when it reads "An Evening with Rush" on the ticket (or in the ad) instead of "With special guest, Blue Oyster Cult" it means the only band you will see that night at the venue for which your purchased a ticket will be Rush. (Disclaimer: Does not exclude the option to have guest musicians during Rush songs or possible orchestration.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigershark2112 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 You also have to take into account how elaborate Rush's stage shows are now. It would be a night mare to try to conceal their stage/props every night and then set up for Rush after an opening band. Bottom line- IT'S NOT HAPPENING. So don't worry people.
