So forget my fantasy of Broon coming back to produce the band's last album?Mine too if this is true. Like I think I already said, this is the first time i ever read this about him. Certainly I never read Alex, Geddy or Neil say this about him. But I think it may have been alluded to in the book I have. I'd have to go back and read it over.

laughedatbytime Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Considerably worse than any song they recorded from 1977-1981 and one of two skips on Signals.Never mind this. Why weren't you there defending your album when Geddy had the audacity to rank it so low?Geddy posts here?Geddy ranked the first nine Rush albums on a radio show Saturday night. Fly By Night did quite poorly. :boo hiss: Aren't you the Fly By Night Ambassador? ;)Yeah, but no one was trashing it here so there was no one to defend it from.You had to defend the album from Geddy!! :o The man doesn't even know what's good in his own music. ;) You should have been waiting by the Stage Door that night to catch him as he was leaving to point out the error of his ways. Just joking. ;)But if he's not here then doing it here would be a waste of time. And while he's not Neil, I'm sure he has his own protection against stalker fans.

Henny Youngman, ladies and gentlemen! :PI just looked it up on wikipedia and, apparently, Bob Ezrin has a producing credit on the same Air Supply album as Peter Collins. I have to give it a spin! Maybe it's some kind of soft rock concept album! Air Supply ROCKS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was around this time that ray danniels was pursuing van hager heavily and telling them that rush was washed up. the middle to late 80s was a not a kind period and it's after Broon left.
