The Analog Grownup Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Just as long as it isn't Foo Fighters. I'm not ready for that kind of scream-fest. ;) Actually, no opening acts please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg2112 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Id like to see them tour with an opener next year. Used to love seeing good warm up acts back in the day (Marillion, Primus, etc). Good music and heightened anticipation for the main event. Would be great to see them take our a "newer" prog act, like Anathema.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bathory Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I also don't think RUSH would or should tour with another band, but if for some reason they decided to, I think UFO would be a good choice and strong possibility. in 1977, yeah Have you seen UFO lately? They have Vinnie Moore playing guitar now, and can still rock with the best of them. Granted Phil Mogg gets a bit long winded at times with his story telling but aside from that they put on a great show. trust me, I'm sure UFO still puts on a great show, and I'm well aware who their axeman is. I just don't think it's a strong possibility as far as them opening for rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Schenker shows up... UFO does the Strangers In The Night set and then after intermission :rush: does All The Worlds A Stage. I drop dead and end up wherever it is I go.... :haz: Yeah that's not going to happen. No worries though as with Vinnie Moore playing with them now you can close your eyes and not even know the difference. :haz: schenker is too busy asking eddie trunk for some beer money right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushfanforever! Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 What about JUDAS PRIEST?? :haz: :haz: :haz: :haz: :blaze: :blaze: :blaze: Excellent choice there Ducky if Rush were to go the "opening" band route!! Which I highly doubt at this point though...they surely don't need to detract from their show Only one problem with this though...I want Rush with NO openers...just Rush for ALL 3 hours... :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: JP is good for another head banging night...

Disk98 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Me. I'LL be the opening act. I've got some good knock-knock jokes. :P 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedRush Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 The Parlor Mob They are a great, modern, young-ish hard rock band that could put together a great 50 minute set that would get some more younger kids in there, and I think the Rush faithfull would generally enjoy it too.

Pale Facsimile Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Obviously I'd prefer the full "Evening with..." format...but if I had to pick a band, I honestly would love to see Anthrax open up for our boys. They could put on a great 50-60 minute set, and then Joey could come out during Rush's set and do vocals for a couple songs Ged can't do. That way everyone would get to hear a couple of otherwise-difficult oldies. Put Anthrax out there and have them do: Caught in a MoshGot the TimeMadhouseDevil You KnowBe All, End AllAntisocialIndiansMetal Thrashing MadAnthem (to get the Rush fans pumped up) Then Rush comes out with: Spirit of RadioNew World ManPrime MoverThe Enemy WithinMiddletown DreamsFly by Night (with Joey Belladonna)Bastille Day (with Joey Belladonna)some part of Hemispheres (with Joey Belladonna)Headlong FlightBetween Sun & MoonClockwork AngelsSubdivisionsNatural ScienceXanadu (R30 arrangement)Malignant Narcissismdrum soloJacob's LadderTom Sawyer By-Tor & the Snow Dog/Cygnus X-1/Working Man THAT would be one hell of a show, in my humble, rockin' opinion! :haz: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WavesandWindows Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Alter Bridge for 45 mins. They'd sound great together. Seriously, look up the songs that Alter Bridge played at SoundWave Perth 2014. Stick those together with Rush, I see a hell of a lot of awesomeness across the stage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennyLee Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 How about a Rush tribute opener doing all the songs they refuse to do or Geddy can't hit anymore? The crowd could get their Hemispheres, Bastille Day, By-Tor, etc. and then on to RUSH! Just kidding. Don't kill me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pale Facsimile Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Fair point, but at least Anthrax isn't as huge of a leap as if I would've said Metallica, Megadeth or Slayer. But then again, I'm 31 and LURRRVE me the Big Four!!! When Joey B. isn't working with Anthrax, he has a local classic rock covers band called Chief Big Way, which is AWESOME. They show up and play for four hours in local bars around the greater Syracuse/Oswego/Auburn area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drgrendel Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 (edited) If they went this direction, which I think is really not a bad idea (would cut down on those insipid videos), I would post another vote for MARILLION! When it comes down to it, the supposed "three-hour show" (minus videos and break) clocks in well under three hours. So a well orchestrated two-hour music fest would be more to my liking than the current "An Evening with Rush" format. It was pretty cool the first few times they did this, but like most anything else that starts off large, it is losing its punch. Before the slam fest begins on this, I have attended each and evey tour since 1978. Their first "Evening with...." was by far their BEST ever.

The fact that Lars has the worst timing of a drummer alone would cause this. We also don't need the Trujillo crabwalk or Hetfield hamming it up like David Lee Roth like he always does.

If it were circa ~1985 Metallica then that would be better. But I'd still prefer to see Rush play alone. Old Metallica can open for Slayer, and I'd be okay with that.

I could see megadeth going over better just because they're more technical, and many rush fans think technicality is what makes music good.
