From rush.com
"It's official! Rush will go on tour in 2004. It will be their 30th anniversary and the tour will include stops in both North America and Europe. Please stay tuned to Rush.com in the new year for more details."

Cylob · 16th December 2003, 10:26

They're getting a bit old for the touring game now.

I'll settle for the DVD I think....

just be honest - You are getting to old to goto the concert
you can't turn down the volume at the gig and you can at home watching the dvd's

Cylob · 16th December 2003, 10:33

Quite right nick - you saw right through me there...

Just remember I'm 5 years your junior. Fit, young and loving it.

eh? the dvd has had rave reviews... I think there performance has something to do with it.. so too old? nah

taylormemer · 16th December 2003, 11:11

They better come down here and impress me!

Cylob · 16th December 2003, 11:43

Or you could come north.

I've seen them once, they're crossed off my list now. Been there (got the t-shirt). Onwards, next band!

taylormemer · 16th December 2003, 12:25

That could be arranged....

Cylob · 16th December 2003, 12:48

Yeah. Book yourself a flight.

NJK · 16th December 2003, 14:37

if rush plays in the netherlands your welcome to stay with me and my family we have a room left and a bed, a hot meal, shower and transportation can be arranged.

Cylob · 16th December 2003, 14:41

How far are you from gig-land then? It's a supposedly small country, but you guys keep adding bits on here & there.

In any case... I think they'll play the small venues. Perhaps the Britannia pub in Plymouth>

in your dreams, in your dreams

Cylob · 16th December 2003, 14:54

True.

I'm not keen on the very large shows (Wembley Arena, NEC), you just don't get the atmosphere. Small or nothing.

I just saw them this year, they seem to be as in-shape as any other band I've seen. 3 hours of classic Rush including 20 minutes of drum solo-ing. <-Bliss

taylormemer · 17th December 2003, 01:29

20 MINUTES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!**Faints.......**

Cylob · 17th December 2003, 05:43

Neil Peart's the ultimate warrior. As for his kit - it was custom-built by those little guys at Fraggle Rock. What a combination.

taylormemer · 17th December 2003, 05:47

I have to see this guy in action, I really have to! Right now!!

Cylob · 17th December 2003, 05:49

If you look closely you'll see some of the little guys. They're housed in the bass drum (it has a door on the side). Stupid place to hang out I know......

Cylob · 17th December 2003, 05:51

BTW, the album 2112 is a drummer's dream.

taylormemer · 17th December 2003, 05:52

i downloaded a few songs, but now if you say that its a drummers dream, well thats it I'm getting it right now, Ill be back in 15 minutes.

taylormemer · 17th December 2003, 06:17

I ran down to the local CD store, I arrived just before it closed. There was 3 copies left, so I got it, ripping it now.

Cylob · 17th December 2003, 06:46

You must live right in town.

Anyway - well worth the sprint.

taylormemer · 17th December 2003, 06:49

I'm at my mums right now so not too far from the shops.

Cylob · 17th December 2003, 06:54

Idea, ideal. I use an internet store (SoulSeek I believe it's called).

Off to work now, BOLLOX!!!! IT'S COLD OUTSIDE!!!!

I remember the day I bought 2112 - I was 20 at the time. *sigh*

zootm · 17th December 2003, 11:52

lol, i was like 14 when i bought that album.

they better play scotland. they won't, though.

Cylob · 17th December 2003, 12:12

Sure, they usually play SEC. I was 19 actually (coming to think of it). Yeah - still a teen!!!

zootm · 17th December 2003, 12:16

they used to insist on playing smaller places like scotland, but on the last tour they didn't (trust me - i wanted to go

), and it's looking unlikely they will this time either. just cutting down on tour dates, too strenuous i guess.

Cylob · 17th December 2003, 12:28

What's stopping you coming south (apart from the 800 mile trip)?

The last time I saw them Primus supported - that would've been great for you.

orac · 17th December 2003, 14:05

yeah agree with Cylob prefer smaller gigs/venues... unless its U2 of course..

ElChevelle · 17th December 2003, 15:08

If you feel Rush is too old to perform live, listen to Rush in Rio.
You WILL be humbled.

i wasn't really old enough to take the journey on my own, or afford it. and my mum wouldn't have let me skip school anyways...

Cylob · 18th December 2003, 13:09

Yeah, but what's stopping you should they tour next year? Birmingham or Manchester would be reasonable from jockland.

zootm · 19th December 2003, 08:51

i may consider it. i do have a job and a university course to attend to though, so could be hard/irresponsible to go, if it's not in the summer.

taylormemer · 21st December 2003, 13:23

Its a wicked album, I keep it forever, *hugs CD*

grumpyBB · 22nd December 2003, 02:21

I sure hope they come to Oregon or Seattle, I really want to see them.

FesterHead · 22nd December 2003, 20:40

Geddy, come to Maui.

We'll surf, fish, eat poi, ...

Maui No Ka Oi.
'Nuff said.

marvinbarcelona · 23rd December 2003, 20:25

Thanks for the warning, I'll steer well clear.
