Clockwork Angels due out in May according to new Prog magazine Rush feature
I had mentioned in my recent Friday Rush updates post that the latest edition of Classic Rock's Prog magazine includes interviews with the hottest acts in prog today including Rush. The piece on Rush is only one page and is just an extension of older interviews with Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson. They re-use pieces from those interviews but also include some new bits such as these comments from Geddy on the band's new Roadrunner label:
... There was something about the people at Roadrunner, they were so into rock, into what we're all about as opposed to some of the Atlantic guys. ... Frankly, we were very unhappy with the way we were treated at Atlantic UK, I don't think they really got us, so it was good to go somewhere that did. ...
They also mention at the end of the article that Clockwork Angels is out in May via Roadrunner, which is consistent with the late April/early May rumors that I'd been hearing from other sources. Many had speculated that the release might be delayed since Kevin J. Anderson's novelization of the album is not due out until the Fall, but if the Prog article is correct this doesn't seem to be the case. You can read the entire piece by clicking on the thumbnail. The issue also contains the results of their 2011 Readers' Poll. Geddy Lee won for Best Bassist, and Rush's Time Machine video took top honors in the Best DVD category. The cover is a collage of prog-rock artists and includes a small photo of Geddy Lee. Thanks to Tony R for the scan.

Im pretty sure that the two songs already released will be re-recorded. I think it was written on this site long time ago and since then I'm still stick to this idea.
I personally like re-recording or alternative versions of the same songs done by the same authors.
I hope so though.
I would be bored to listen to the same two songs again....
Happy 02nd / 21 / '12 all.
Rather than a 3rd single release, maybe they'll re-release the 1st two early?
NO florida dates this time. neil told me fans in the sunshine state are a little too over the top for his liking , you know how neil is
I wonder when Rush is going to release southeast and Florida tour dates for the Clockwork Angels tour this upcoming fall. There is so much Rush information circulating on this website. Looking forward to the new Rush album and the tour upcoming in the Fall.
#31 - Aye, but John E, me matey Kevin J. Anderson has spilled the cask and let it be known that arrr hero from the Angels of Clockwork shall be spyin on lost cities and sparrin with priates, and that has led this scurvy bilge rat to me obvious conclusions.
By the Powers, Marty from Clayton ! May you be served cold tasty grogs until you be loaded to the Gunwales and may many a fine wench keep you warm for keeping yer Pirate speak going this long. Shiver me timbers me hearty!
Cap'n Red
The Original Gangster of Boats
#25 - Too late a notice! LOL!
We had a great time though, and saw all the authentic pirate scenery that will be used for the Clockwork Angels Tour.
Speaking of the Clockwork Angels Tour, I now know why the tour can't start until fall. The Pirate exhibit at the Science Museum of Minnesota runs through the summer, and Rush won't be able to use the props for their stage decorations until September.
