BU4B Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 (edited) I'm reading about people in America, Canada, Germany etc all getting the fan packs. Mine was ordered the day it was announced and despite living in the UK I am still waiting while reading about the rest of the world listening to the new album. I go to concerts in the UK and if I'm lucky enough to get tickets for the first few front rows I find I am surrounded by American and Canadian accents. There is definitely something wrong with this picture. It can't be right that people from the rest of the world can order and attend things in the UK and have priority over the natives. Just saying.... Well have you all got the new album? Edited June 7, 2012 by BU4B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Well most of us "got" the new album, if you know what I mean But it doesn't come out in North America until next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchetaxe&saw Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 It's you. Just you. Neil's really f*cked off with you for f***ing around with his song title. "Brought Up Fo(u)r Believe??? WTF???????? HELLO? Mr. Roadrunner, do not, I REPEAT, DO NOT, send this man the album! I am NEIL PEART, hard man, biker, occasional drummer, part time plumber. I shit Spartacus. DO IT."

Watchful_Eye Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 I guess that the fan packs have been send earlier in foreign countries to make sure they arrive their homes at release. But obviously, they underestimated the mail service. Anyway, I am not one of those lucky bastards . I ordered my package regularly on Amazon and it will probably arrive tomorrow.

Anyone from anywhere can buy tickets to a concert. It's called capitalism. What makes you think YOU have priority? Just because you live closer to the venue? Give me a break.

Actually yes, I do think because the venue is in the Country I live in that I should be able to buy tickets that aren't seats located at the back of the venue because all the good seats were sent abroad Oh I see what you did Leave me alone let me rant in peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godeater2112 Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 I live in CANADA and Rush is from CANADA and I still haven't received my pre-order yet! Screw the rest of the world, they should at least coddle their fellow anthem singers first. Haha. It is very hard not to listen to the entire leak. Two days ago I started to indulge in a "track-a-day" so I've now heard the title track and The Anarchist. Seven more to go! I hope I can possibly hear them all in a row if the post man drops off a little "sumfin-sumfin" in the mailbox today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeddyRulz Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 I don't have it. I understand it was "leaked," but in trying to score a leaked copy, I keep getting asked for my credit card info. They say they'll pseudo-charge me $1, at which point I can DL the album, but then I'll have to "cancel my membership," so to speak, lest I be charged about $50-per-month for eternity. No thanks. Too much hassle, with the possibility of fiscal foulplay. I'm not giving out my CC info. I'll just wait for the official release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todem Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Waiting for my fan pack. Got the shipping notification last Friday. So my hope is I have it by tomorrow. But I am not holding my breath. I expect it by release day at the latest. Also a week later my vinyl will arrive (so looking forward to that). I still have not heard any clips. I am staying un-spoiled!

You expect them to be held because you have a British accent? Talk about an entitlement mentality...lol No wonder your country is going down the tube!

Yeah as a Canadian I've seen RUSH in Holland, Ireland and Scotland and the VAST majority of fans seemed to be local. Like >90%, estimate only but I talk with lots of people at these shows.

I dont download things off the internet since I am not a member of these piracy websites that are actually secure.
