Tick Posted May 25, 2012 Author Share Posted May 25, 2012 QUOTE (JohnnyBlaze @ May 25 2012, 07:05 AM) I think it's more likely that another studio album will come than an R40 tour. I seriously can't see R40 happening AT ALL. I can easily imagine another Rush album happening before they all turn 65. Hell, I can even imagine an EP (of 6 or 7 songs) THEN embarking on a tour for that by 2015. Ok, let me get this straight.... You can see Rush touring into there 60's and touring in 2015 with new music, but R40 which is 2014 will not happen, "AT ALL". I think considering we are only 2 short years away from R40, its the most likely of Rush options for that year. If they are still together I would say its almost a given it will happen.

I already commented in a few other threads about R40. It's not surprising that those posts would get lost in every other post but I just didn't want to repeat myself. But I will now: I don't see R40 happening because it'd practically be a repeat of R30. And repeating the same trick (that kind of trick anyway) isn't something that RUSH does. How many times have they said that they liked to move forward? How many times have we enjoyed watching them move forward? I guess you could argue that the Time Machine Tour was a repeat of the Moving Pictures tour. But there'd be a lot of people, including myself, saying that last year's tour was not a repeat of any kind. Yes, I can see Rush touring into their 60's. Hell, Neil will turn 60 at the start of this upcoming tour. And the other 2 guys will be that in the 2nd leg of that tour. So at the end of the CA tour in 2013 they'd be 61, 60, and 60. No, I can't imagine them getting right back out there in 2014 for R40. But I can see them resting for most of 2014 and recording at its end THEN putting out an album (even if it's a shorter EP) again in 2015. Releasing any new material in 2015 would be pushing it but I do think it's more likely than R40. Edited May 25, 2012 by JohnnyBlaze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lerxster Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 I have seen the future. There will be another album after this tour, then another tour, then another album, then the R46 tour, then it's over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think R40 is something very likely to happen. A greatest hits type tour with no album like Feedback in the mix. The band will cash in on it in my opinion. They will probably play 2112 in its entirety to add more appeal and interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rushgoober Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 it really comes down to this: 1. Rush only makes albums once every 5 years 2. Geddy's voice is deteriorating live. 3. Rush does not make albums without touring. 4. Geddy's voice will not hold up another 5 years. = Last Album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjtull Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 (edited) Absolutely not the last album nor will it be their last tour. These guys are still going strong!

Merely Space Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 I think it is far more likely that they would stop touring because of age than stop making albums. Touring is hard on them physically, amongst other things. Making albums is not, it's the most fun part of being a musician for them. The only drawback to this scenario that I see is that albums don't make the kind of money they used to. Touring is more lucrative now. But I still think it's more likely that they'll scale back the touring before they stop recording. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OGr8imL84AD8inF8sBlackSedan Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 I hope CA kicks ass 'cuz if it is the last, they could be ending their recording career on a major high note. If it is their last recording I'd like to see them do something like Billy Joel does, tour but just keep playing the older material. Their catalog is huge and they could easily tour for many more years. I don't think this is their last record though but from all the hype and good words I've heard about CA I sort of hope it is their last so they can end on a high note.

GeddyRulz Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 (edited) To be honest, I thought this was shaping-up to be their Swan Song, too. It seemed suspicious to me that the guys seemed to be giving us diehard fans everything we've said we wanted for the past twenty years. Why now? Was this new album a "love letter" to the fans, one last hurrah, saying farewell to us by giving us what we always wanted? One last pure memory of the band, a "perfect album" to leave us with? But now look at the interviews the band have been giving, and they're once again talking about a long future and feeling re-energized, off to new beginnings. I think Alex recently said something along the lines of "we'll keep making albums until we're dead." This isn't the last.
