toymaker Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 I believe there was some discussion about this by the band a while ago. The Rush instrumental album would have La Villa StrangiatoYYZBroon's Bane?Where's My ThingLeave That Thing AloneLimboThe Main Monkey BusinessHopeMalignant Narcissism Also, there are a lot of songs that have instrumental sections: By-Tor, Didacts and Narpets, Necromancer, 2112 . . . the list goes on. There are a couple of solo Alex things done in concert (new introductions to Closer to the Heart and Halo Effect) and then there are the drum solos... Did I leave anything crucial out? What would a reasonably complete track list be? Would anything compell you to buy an album that you could easily assemble yourself as a playlist? Sorry - I'll stop creating new posts for a while. I'm new to the forum and interested to hear what people have to say. I have a few friends who are Rush fans, but they can be over-critical bums sometimes.

EagleMoon Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Yeah, I wouldn't want to buy an album of instrumentals that have already been released. But an album of all new stuff? Heck yeah! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lifeson90 Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 I can put together my own album of instrumentals cant see it being much of a pull for most of the already initiated, an album of new instrumentals would certainly be an interesting project but if geds voice ok rather have the usual stuff. anything new would be great. Just a rumour about anything new would be great actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancient Ways Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Why would I want instrumentals that I already have? I want an album of all new instrumentals. Please. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Analog Cub Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 I was deceived into this thinking this would be about new instrumentals. If it's new instrumentals, hell yes. It's new Rush. Otherwise, no. I already have the old ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennyLee Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Agreed. New instrumentals yes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cat 3 Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 I agree with most people here that if were a collection of new songs I'd be very interested...otherwise, it is just another compilation album. That being said, I actually have playlist on my Ipod of all of the Rush instrumental songs already and really like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hcm Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 YES ! I even said I would love it if they made the next concert one set all instrumental. I loved the instrumentals off of S&A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narps Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 New instrumentals in a jazz/funky style. Sign me up for that.... :dweez: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gangsterfurious Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 It would be nice for me because I do love their instrumentals. However, nothing is stopping me from doing this on my own and just creating an instrumental playlist on my iTunes. They'd have to release some unheard or new tracks for me to be interested in actually purchasing the album. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also added an acoustic version of Everlong which is...well...unnecessary. Thankfully they released Wasting Light a couple of years later, which turned out to be fantastic.

Bangster of Goats Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 An album of all-new instrumentals? Oh hell yes! Otherwise, meh. Along that note, I wish they would do a film score or two. I remember someone asking them on Rockline (or some other show) years ago about doing film scores and Geddy and Alex were kinda like "hmmm...!" and I could hear the gears grinding in their heads. ;) Just no freaking Michael Bay movies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pfrushfan0122 Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 I feel like they would definitely release a lot more new instrumentals as if it were like S&A. However, this time around I think the next album would be half instrumental. I would buy it gladly. I think I read somewhere that originally Peaceable Kingdom from VTs & Headlong Flight (which contains a part called "Take That Lampshade Off Yo Head") were instrumental until Neil had some ideas... I wonder how they would have shaped up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
