YYZ Working Man Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Moving Pictures This album!! People say its overrated and I can't hear what they're saying because I have Neil Peart's badass drum fills banging away in my ears. Still amazes me that a 3 piece band could produce such a formidable wall of sound and Moving Pictures captured Rush while they were all peaking musically and artistically. The air must have been electric in Le Studio, Quebec throughout October and November 1980 - Imagine if those walls could talk...Opening bid at Public auction this Wednesday june 17 is 18,0000...Save LeStudio. Secred grounds for all Rush Fans .. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YYZ Working Man Posted June 23, 2015 Author Share Posted June 23, 2015 Well it didnt sell, and the developer paid the back taxes... This actually happens every year but this year there was alot of hope and wonder if Rush would buy it given the tour and all. Also Richard baxter had a campaign to try and save it .. it is still standing -pending total demolition at any time .. Hopefully this summer i can get up there again to visit ...

Even Al admitted in a recent interview that rebuilding it as a studio wouldn't be financially viable. So unless someone with some extra cash wants a big souvenier, then it's a lost cause. I wouldn't want to buy the property and rebuild something else because of the goofy Rushheads needing to visit the holyland.

R2U1S1H2 Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 On any further research is it still standing I'm flying to Quebec in two weeks to visit family and I am definitely going to take a look before its demolished.....I'm sure with the right people and some favours it could be Rebuilt. And you have a Rush exhibit for all those goofy Rush heads!!!! Lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. JD Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I saw a YouTube video recently where a band went and played in the back yard. It looked like it is still there and boarded up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeanMeanPride Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 With how many Rush fans there are out there, couldn't we all just chip in a little bit and make sure it gets in the right hands? A Kickstarter or sorts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. JD Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Still Standing... boarded up .Unthinkable vandelism last summer... Waiting for part 3 from Lestudio channel-Kevin? I'm waiting on part 3 too. It is supposed to focus on the music studio portion of the building I think. I wonder what the cost was to board it up. Probably would have been just as cost effective just to tear it down.

EagleMoon Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 If they had any sense they would sell it to someone who would fix it up as a museum or something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. JD Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 If they had any sense they would sell it to someone who would fix it up as a museum or something. I think at this point it's way beyond fixing up. It would cost a small fortune and its location is kind of out of the way of any real tourism to recoup the costs. It was in bad shape when I visited there last June. I can only imagine what it is like now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
