hish747 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 (edited) Has anybody else thought that this might be the last album that Rush puts out? I hope I'm wrong, but I get the feeling that this album from beginning to end feels like a final chapter in an incredible story; especially the way they draw on their past and wrap it all together. "The Garden" probably has as much to do with the feeling of an end as anything. Edited July 3, 2012 by hish747 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Union 5-3992 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 (edited) If it is, it is, and forever. It's impossible to tell. It looks like they still enjoy playing and recording so they could always go for another album or two. But they are getting up there in age so they may become rather limited. If they're limited, they'd likely retire. Clockwork Angels would be a hell of an album to close on, especially with The Garden. Just let things go and see what happens. [/thread] no more to say now. Just leave it as a mystery for now. Edited July 3, 2012 by Union 5-3992 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

presto123 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Not if they change their habits and make studio a priority now. Can't be waiting 5 years between releases anymore because the clock is ticking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've thought about it, and if it is the end, CA and The Garden are perfect ways to go out, a great CD and an emotional end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animate Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 I sure hope not. This crossed a lot of people minds, especially after Headlong Flight was release. 60 is not as old as you guys are making it out to be. I know this first hand as my husband just turned 60 (to clarify, I am 13 years younger) and I guarantee he is stronger, tougher, sharper, and has more stamina than almost anyone on this board, regardless of age. It is a matter of what you do every day. And they said in an interview that they are interested in seeing how long they can carry on. Sure, things will change as they already are. Bring them on! More albums! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tombstone Mountain Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 (edited) Geddy and Neil have said this is not the end. They will probably keep recording in some way until the cows come home...touring, now that is another matter. On the flip side, Neil has made statements, as he did in Rolling Stone, that he doesn't see how its physically possible to play until 70... They are going to release the cd of instrumentals...probably tour that...then another full length CD is my guess. Imagine what the next album will be like with another effort from Nick? It will only get better and more imaginative!!! Edited July 3, 2012 by Tombstone Mountain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hish747 Posted July 4, 2012 Author Share Posted July 4, 2012 When I was thinking about this album being the last, I thought about what else they could possible achieve in another albums. I actually had the thought, wouldn't it be amazing if Rush releases an album full of instrumental music that actually becomes commercially successful? I don't think that has ever been done before. Imagine, having a hit song without a single word. It would actually renew my faith in humanity! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shredder2 Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Psh, I really don't care. It's Rush. They're of age to where it's acceptable to me if they call it quits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUBDIVISIONS Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 I always have that feeling when I see them Live This could be the last one, Neil could have a bike accident or something, but they seem to be on shape, not smoke anymore and good workout routine. Geddy says that just like painting or writing, at music making, the age should not be a limit to keep doing good work. But yes I feel they close the loop, this new record sound like the first ones, they got back home. If its the last one, they made the best discography ever, a study case for generations and generations to come, and we were blessed by coexisting and be able to watch them perform. Eventually they will die at some point, and no words or awards will be enough to pay back their magnificent work and achievements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeddyLeeRoth Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 I think this is the last one. Probably another tour, but not announced as a farewell tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUBDIVISIONS Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 After Clockwork touring they will take a break and will come back with R40 R40 might be the last RUSH tour And clockwork angels might be the last record Actually its so good, that they dont need to make another record I think they finally found the secret river Alph they walked the caves of ice They break their fast on honey dew and drunk the milk of paradise RUSH dont need to make another record, they just did it That record that Geddy always was trying to achieve finally arrived I think its better than any other Shoulder to shoulder with 2112 I cant take it out of my mind, it really caught me.

hish747 Posted July 6, 2012 Author Share Posted July 6, 2012 While I understand that Neil and Geddy may have said this isn't the last, there was also something else that Neil said that is quite telling in it's suggestion that this will be the final Rush Studio album. Neil has said that he intends Clockwork Angels to be his greatest achievement lyrically and drumming wise. That is quite a statement. He doesn't strike me as the kind of person who would say that album after album, and to my knowledge, he hasn't made this comment publicly before this. So, if he intends Clockwork Angels to be his greatest achievement, what does he intend the next one to be, inferior? No, I don't think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
