Jag2112 Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Rush is featured on the cover of the January 2013 issue of Classic Rock Magazine with the tag line "Band of the Year?" The accompanying article, which is an interview with Geddy and Alex, is now online and can be read at the link below: http://cygnus-x1.net/links/rush/classic-rock-01.2013.php I was a little surprised at some of the personal questions the interviewer asked - and perhaps even more surprised that Geddy and Alex answered them. Talk of R40 and the Fountain of Lamneth in an upcoming tour were also the subject of discussion. All around, an enjoyable read... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beneathbetweenbehindyourmom Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Sounds like the interviewer had his share of hash oil while listening to Fountain of Lamneth. :smoke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
losingit2k Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 So what's next for Rush?Alex: If we do a 40th anniversary tour, we probably won't make a record in that time, so that tour will probably be a retrospective. But I don't know. We've been touring a lot, and I wouldn't want us to get overexposed.Geddy: The idea of touring year in year out is exhausting. There's got to be a point where we cut that back. But as long as we have the desire to keep being creative together, we'll keep moving forward. Can anyone say R40 Tour? :drool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Union 5-3992 Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 I'd rather they make a new album than tour again. All the more music the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIDE-ANGLE WATCHER Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 I'd rather they make a new album than tour again. All the more music the better. That is a tough 'would you rather' question. If I had to choose one or the other, tour or new music. I say tour. We have brand new music....At this time and with their extensive music library I would rather have them tour again and even two more tours over new music. Down the road, say 4-6 years, they could make a new album and realistically may not tour it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wendy and I flew to Toronto for R30. We will do the same for R40. RUSH RULES! ORBIT ROOM!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeduck Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 And if that anniversary tour does happen, why not put The Fountain of Lamneth back into the set?Alex: That would be a bit of a stretch! Maybe down the road somewhere. God, it's been so long since we revisited that era... Somehow this proves, once again, that Lifeson is metal! :haz: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Rush does an R40 Tour will you fly out to Toronto and meet up with Wendy and I? Hell I will just leave her at home if she doesn't want to go! I am sure many of us will meet up there for a show!
