traeplien Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Take this for what its worth. I have a friend who works locally here in Winston-Salem, NC. When I shop at the store where he works, we talk Rush as we are both big Rush fans and also play instruments (he plays guitar in a local band). Last week, as I was leaving his grocery store, he flagged me down to tell me some exciting news. Apparently, he has a friend who works with Geddy and Alex in some capacity. I think guitar repair or something like that. Anyway, my friends friend told him that he recently spoke with Alex and that Alex told him they (Rush) were hitting the road in three months. Thats pretty much all I've got. I'll post if/when the news updates. If somebody here has already posted something similar, I apologize. Peace!

J2112YYZ Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 If true, i'm pretty sure Alex was just messing with him. Tickets went on sale about six or seventh months ahead of time on the last tour. If they were to start touring in three months we would know the dates by now and most of us here would have out tickets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 (edited) Yeah I doubt seriously that we wouldn't know about it at least six months in advance. Edit: On the other hand, I can see them possibly starting to rehearse for a tour in three months. They usually start that a few months before a tour starts. And yeah, Alex has never been the most reliable source. Edited June 29, 2014 by EagleMoon 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snaked Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 They're going into the studio in a little under 3 months. NOT going on tour.

Hopefully this means they will be recording a new song(s) to be played on the upcoming tour! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pfrushfan0122 Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 From what I'm hearing, if anything is going to happen, we won't get an announcement until the end of this summer.... It will be worth waiting for though!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
traeplien Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 Yeah, all good points but any news other than the unthinkable (retirement, long hiatus, etc) is good news. I am hoping they bypass doing a new album and concentrate on the setlist which needs to be totally revamped imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will most likely not be a full album but an "Extended EP" Something along the lines of 3-6 new songs they can showcase on the upcoming tour.

dtpoet Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Snaked has the best information than anyone here so if he says they are hitting the studio in 3 months, I am 100% convinced he is correct. Snaked - would there be an announcement or would they just go into a studio and we'll find out after the fact? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyfriar Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 I wish they'd do something like they've done a few years back, when they had the countdown on rush.com 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upstateNYfan Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I don't think we'll know anything at all until the fall. If they do tour, I can't see tickets on sale until late winter with shows over the summer. Big IF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbomb106 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Alex rehearse at the studio last night. I guess it's pretty serious. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrightAntennae Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Going into the studio this September does make some sense, I suppose.Hit the studio in the fall to polish and record 2-3 new songs. Take a break for the holidays and start tour rehearsals shorty thereafter for tour in April.Guess we'll know soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
