[Woo Bum-kon]

Gee, and I was just thinking about how much I wanted to listen to a new album from a band that is decades past its prime. When's the new Rolling Stones album coming out?

[Borosai]

Slappin' the bass.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Sweet. Can't wait to see them again.
Last tour they did all the his, then played the album Moving Pictures start to finish. was bad asssss

[Woo Bum-kon]

:lol Hemann laughing at his own shitty jokes.

Somebody has to, right?

[Spurminator]

It's okay. Of course, work speakers probably aren't the best place to judge.

Their last album took a while to grow on me.

[Frank Dux]

Still kicking myself for missing that tour. These guys aren't going to play forever.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

I haven't cared for their last few. Last one I bought was Counterparts and I played that, maybe, once. Or twice.

[Big Empty]

So i played working man at the bar n almost got my ass kicked. I played it with the mytouchtunes app while a fellow patron was putting money in the jukebox and when the song came o, since i used 3 credits to play it next, yea i was feeln it, he got aaaaall upset. "THIS A FUCKING 15 MINUTE SONG BRO!!" awwww pissed off lol i didnt know i had just soundhounded the song on the way to the bar. But when the song was over,....Slipknot came on and made me want to go give my dad a hug

[Spursfan092120]

Overrated.

Not a huge fan, but if you say this song is overrated, you deserve to be stabbed in the foot with a fork..

I missed the Moving Pictures tour too. Hopefully they get through here again.

[CitizenDwayne]

On a semi-related note, the Manic Street Preachers' "Journal for Plague Lovers" is the most obvious steal (Rush' "Spirit of Radio") I have ever heard in my life. Hilarious.

Rush were a fairly good band, but they kinda seem like amateurs when compared to the Yes, Genesis, Pink Floyd, King Crimson crowd. In my opinion, of course

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Snakes and arrows has some good songs.
Check out:

Far Cry
The Main Monkey Business
Malignant Narcissism (old timer geddy tears it up)

You guys missed out

When they started Witch Hunt I almost jizzed myself

[Viva Las Espuelas]

I jizzed the first time I saw them and they busted into Xanadu. When Primus opened up for them.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Primus opened for them?? That must have been a weed smoker's paradise

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Yeah, Primus played on the Presto tour.

[Woo Bum-kon]

If hemann thinks something is funny, it probably isn't.

:tu Great album, but Vapor Trails is my last favorite CD from them. That tour was at the Verizon Wireless, which has since been closed down. :bang

I'm sure they will tour this summer, at least I hope they do.

[leemajors]

Claypool was probably waiting his whole life to open up for them.

[mrsmaalox]

I had no idea there was so much jizzing happening at Rush shows :wow

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Lol
Rush shows have so much audio stimulation, it far outweighs the insane guy to girl ratio at their shows

Last show I went to, they had an opening movie/skit, and as closer. In the closing scene, geddy jokes about how he saw two chicks in his section of the crowd...neal and Alex were like awesome, that's gotta be a record! Rofl

Then Paul Rudd and Jason Segel reprise their roles from I Love You Man, and freak Rush out by sneaking into their backstage room

Pretty funny

[Viva Las Espuelas]

So what did you think of the sample?
I didn't listen to it :)

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Claypool was probably waiting his whole life to open up for them.

He probably was. I wasn't that into Primus at the time but they put on a great show. They played all of Sailing the Sea of Cheese.

Yeah. Their sets are pretty elaborate. A little corny but elaborate

I got to see that at the Tour De Fromage they did a while back, the whole second set was that album.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Is that the one when Herb came back? I went to that too and damn that was a good concert. The DVD they released from that tour was awesome too

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Damn. When did they get on Roadrunner? That's crazy.

[leemajors]

Is that the one when Herb came back? I went to that too and damn that was a good concert. The DVD they released from that tour was awesome too

Yup, I saw them with Brain before too, and liked that as well. DJ Disk opened up for them, and Buckethead joined them on a few songs. I love Brain, but I was glad Herb came back. I liked one of Herb's other bands, Laundry I think they were called. I have the cd somewhere

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Yeah. Its Laundry. I didn't care for Brain that much.

[leemajors]

Yeah. Its Laundry. I didn't care for Brain that much.

I like the stuff he does with Laswell/Praxis quite a bit, but the Brown Album was pretty uneven.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Is praxis any good? I saw bucket head a month or so ago, thoroughly enjoyed it, and I know he's in praxis

Yesterday, Rush released their new single, “Headlong Flight,” giving fans a taste of what’s to come on the band’s upcoming album, Clockwork Angels, out June 12. Clockwork Angels is Rush’s 20th studio release and their first set of original material in over five years, so there’s plenty of buzz surrounding the release.

Now, the men have announced a cross-country 2012 tour in support of Clockwork Angels. The jaunt kicks off September 7 in Manchester, New Hampshire and will travel to 30-plus cities before closing out December 2 in Houston, Texas. Tickets go on sale starting April 27 in most cities via Ticketmaster and LiveNation. For information on when tickets go on sale for the date closest to you, visit Rush’s official site, and find a complete list of tour dates, below.

As for “Headlong Flight,” Rush singer and bass player Geddy Lee says it was a delight to write. “’Headlong Flight’ was one of those songs that was a joy to write and record from beginning to end,” he said in an official statement. “Alex [Lifeson] and I had blast jamming in my home studio one day before the 2nd leg of the Time Machine Tour and I did not revisit that jam until a year later.

“Alex and I assembled the song to be an instrumental and its original title was 'Take that lampshade off yo head!' but once we saw the lyrics Neil had written for 'Headlong Flight,' I knew that the spirit of the lyrics matched the instrumental perfectly and it was just a matter of making them fit and writing the melodies.” Are you stoked to see Rush in 2012? Let us know in the comments section, below!

They are one of my favorite bands. Here is a video off their first album:

KUL_gcHv0EA

Each album usually just has Brain, Buckethead and Bill Laswell as constants, but the band can be anywhere from just those three to 5 more people. The DJ from the Jungle Brothers is the DJ on this video from '92, John Zorn is on one of them with Yamatsuka Eye, and Grandmaster DXT and the Skratch Piklz are on some.

I was there!

[JudynTX]

I was there!

:tu I sure do miss outdoor venues., even though the sound kinda sucked on the lawn.

I'm curious as to who will open up for them on tour.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

I thought they normally toured on their own.

[JudynTX]

I thought they normally toured on their own.

Good point, since they usually put on a 3hr show.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

They play in Dallas practically on Thanksgiving

Lame

How would that get in the way of the concert?

[Spurminator]

And at AAC. Double lame.

I heard it's going to be Kool & the Gang.

Yeah, as far as I know they have no openers, they just play for 3 hours. The cool thing about this (other than three hours of Rush) is when they give each other a rest. Specifically the part where Neil does his 10-15 min percussion solo while the other two go offstage and chill.

[JudynTX]

Don't even go there! :lol

I hope they do the South Park skit for Tom Sawyer! :D
