"Well, we’re not finished as a band. We still talk about recording. Who knows, there may be an opportunity in the future to do not a big tour, but a series of concerts … like a week in Massey Hall or Radio City Music Hall."

 

Sounds clear to me that Alex is continuing in some format, if not Rush. He is envisioning playing live in the future.

Key--"We're not finished as a band" This tour is not the end...get a grip people. They just put out this album

Let's enjoy them one at a time. This album is epic

Available on iTunes?

 

 

.

 

That looks like the album Tai Shan should have been on.

Look this is the next era of Rush. Neil even writes about it in the song "Twice a boy, once a man":

When you climb the hill to arrive on top,

You forget the journey never stops.

Spindled by the weavers hands,

I was twice a boy and once a man.

 

Play in dirt

make castles of sand.

Build a fortress of stone

with cold chapped hands.

 

Time has now

worked it's plan

I was twice a boy,

and once a man.

 

They're hitting their second wind folks. No worries

All of u who buy into this are complete and utter sheeple. Bottom line is if there's a big enough financial incentive for them to do it, they will find a way.

 

I think it's pretty realistic to assume that they'll take the Rolling Stones route and do some short tours after R40.

 

That's just wishful thinking. Neil doesn't really need the band anymore. He's got his books and his family. I could see Geddy and Alex doing some recording together possibly with another drummer at some point but I seriously doubt they'll ever really tour again.

Geddy and Alex will fully form RASH with Mike Portnoy in 2016.

You have been warned

 

Oh God, say it ain't so! :LOL:

 

I'll volunteer to play! :syrinx:

I mean, how about cutting out the drum solo? It's been pretty stale for about 3 decades now and could definitely give him a chance to rest. Do an acoustic segment or something in its place that doesn't require so many flailing limbs.

At least cut down the drum solo! Give us a couple minutes of bass drum triplets and bashing the high toms and timbale that used to be mounted up there, and 30 seconds of that cool trick he does where he crosses one arm over the other. Those are the coolest parts of the solo anyway. Kill the fancy beats and big band tribute.

Drum solo's haven't been anything special since ESL...for ANYONE! It just seems like the solo he's done the past bunch of tours has been to give Al and Ged a pee break...(and the acoustic part gave Neil a pee and a smoke break)

 

I honestly wouldn't complain if they dropped it!

They don't have any financial incentives, LOL. They're rich men who can easily provide for their families' future generations.

 

LOL, I dunno why people can't see the forest for the trees about this. It's pretty easy to determine they're saying in the nicest way possible (typically Rush), that this is the last tour.

 

The whole 'leaked info to sell more tickets' conspiracy theory is ridiculous. That's never been how Rush operates. Some other bands, you bet. But not the boys. No need nor motive.

 

I guarantee u they don't consider themselves to be rich. U r naive to think Rush Inc. is not pushing any and all manipulative buttons for this tour. They are businessmen 100% before being musicians.

 

They are musicians first and foremost. They hire people to do the promoting and selling of merchandise. That's how it works. That's how most businesses work.

 

No disrespect, but u have no concept of the reality of the mindset and motives of all three. If receipts-driven Rush were to design a model fan, you would conform to it nicely.

No...none at all...and if they drop THAT to keep the time of the setlist down, I'd be happier than if they dropped Natural Science!

Mama always told me to be wary of folks who start their sentences with things like "No disrespect, but . . ."

 

Are you their best bud, or something? You have a better "concept of the reality of the mindset and motives" of the band? Perhaps you could elaborate on what you said - I don't really know what you mean.

Is Pratt supposed to stop breathing because it displeases you? A Bane quote from The Dark Knight Rises applies here. "Oh, because you give me money (buy my concert tickes?), you think you own me?"

 

It's his life, man. Live your own. Get over it.
