How sweet would a new album, live dvd and tour for 2008 be?

Maybe they will preview some of their new songs on the 2008 leg of the tour. I believe they did a "pre-album" tour before Moving Pictures, where they played a few dates, I think it was Radio City Music Hall and some other places. In any case, I don't think the new album would come out until 2009, but you never know.

Rumours of a new album put a very big smile on my face.

P.S. Thanks once again MitA, very neat clips, and I can't help but laugh at Neil wrapped in a scarf.

Thanks Ed, For More Rush Knowledge and Wisdom!

Already working on a new album? True or not, oh, what a juicy morsel for the salivating Rush masses to chew on. Thanks for the tidbit Ed!

After all the doomsday prophecies of this being their "farewell tour", I'll gladly grab on to any little glimmer of hope for a new project. Best news yet!!! Thanks Ed!
#10 - Posted 11/30/07 @4:07PM by jaytee578 [contact]
i stand by my opinion that they are way too future-oriented right now to be calling it quits. i'll believe the new album when i see it--but even if they haven't started working on it yet, i'm sure the idea is there. they were way too pumped after S & A.
regardless--another great update and lots to look forward to hopefully :)
GEDIILUV--are you kidding me?? those are my actual letters? ed is messing with my mind.

If Neil has been dabbling with some lyrics, they could very well play a new song in '08. They used to do it a good bit back in the 70's!
Cool MitA stuff as usual= thanks. Alex, even though it seems like you cause most "incidents", that's one of the reasons why you're the best! Rock Band singer is, um, prrety baad. And there was too much whammy bar- i don't care if it does get you more points. I'd be three tries into that song when my hands would premanently disfigure. BNL tshirt looks like a circa Hemispheres shot- nice. And Rush working already? The thought :D
Thankin ya Ed. So much news.. Still. Slagwerkkrant!

Next album to contain the 20+ minute epic "Cygnus X-1, Book III: Celestial Spheres."
I wonder if by "already working on it" they mean an EP of just a few new songs, like they did with Feedback before the R30 Tour?
Maybe the boys want some new stuff to play for the Spring Tour... you know, to help them get through it. Especially Neil.
#15 - Posted 11/30/07 @8:33PM by necromancer 2112 [contact]
barring any unforseen tragedy,i dont see why some people think they are going to call it quits!! every interview has indicated that they seem refreshed and seem ready to rock for quite sometime!!
#16 - Posted 11/30/07 @9:07PM by pinkfloyd2000 [contact]
Rico...perhaps. Let's just hope that "Feedback II" isn't in the offing. A nice idea, but Rush's release of a covers CD (IMO) kinda reeked of a washed-up classic rock band -- which, clearly, they are not. See Def Leppard & Queensryche for examples of bands that have also done so, but probably are.
Chykci did such a great job on s&a and r30 that i don't think there's anyway they'd work without him - he's working on the new dvd according to reports.
they take touring seriously and would spend approx a month rehearsing for the dates in 2008 so basically...
there'd be very little time to record a new album now. i think if that comment is correct, then nick r has probably heard some rough demos of new songs for which he has some killer ideas.
#18 - Posted 11/30/07 @9:39PM by necromancer 2112 [contact]
yeah,they are probably just in the writing stages now,the boys have said in the past that some of the best writing is done on the road,just like the old days!!
#19 - Posted 11/30/07 @10:07PM by glortiz [contact]
More new music is really intriguing. Here's a twist.
What if, in the words of Geddy Lee, they had "waaaayyyy to many songs" to put on S&A. Write a couple more on the road, tune up what's left over and do it.
I know, Rush does not have unrecorded songs in the vault, but hey, we're just speculating. And hoping.....
#20 - Posted 11/30/07 @10:07PM by Nettie [contact]
MitA always has neat tidbits, and hearing Rush "trainwrecks" just makes me appreciate their live playing all the more!
If that were me up there on stage, trying to remember all the complicated music to play, I'd be fudging up all the time. (Kinda like that recurring nightmare I have...)
I consider Rush a public utility. They are always there when you need them. Hopefully we'll get a new album soon.
#25 - Posted 12/1/07 @7:15AM by Prince Sphinc-Tor
Maybe, if the rumor is even true, RUSH and Nick Raskuzcnirxwlpkaqdrsmhinecz....however you spell it are "working on" hammering out the details of his contract to work on the next album and are not actually working on the material yet.
I would however love to see a new RUSH record full of covers of Culture Club, Air Supply, and The Pet Shop Boys...with a sprinkle of Frankie Goes to Hollywood on top.
#26 - Posted 12/1/07 @7:59AM by Prince Sphinc-Tor
While on the subject of crappy music (see post #25) don't know if any of you are big R Kelly fans (I know I love those soulfull dities he spits out!!!!) Check out this Weird Al parody of his classic, megasuperlongerthanthenilemeasuredinmillimetershit Trapped In The Closet...
Difficult for me to hope in a new album any time before 2009, and that's being optimistic. I'm more realistically thinking 2010, especially since they're extending the tour into next year. (Oh, how I miss those days when a band would release at least one album each year!) Is our friend sure he saw the real Nick R. and not that impostor who was posting here just before the release of S&A?
Re#26.... R. Kelly, Trapped In the Closet.... holy shit, some of the funniest stuff i 've ever seen... i don't think it's meant to be that way, but the 'show' had me singing my everyday dialogue R. Kelly-style for days.
"yo bitch, there's a midget in the cupboard" genius.
#29 - Posted 12/1/07 @12:46PM by brindle [contact]
Re:pat #27,i agree with you 100% once next years tour is over they will take a full year off as what is now normal before starting the writing process again then a spring 2010 release for the summer outdoor shows which they love doing.At least we will have another live dvd to look forward to,they may as well release it on 3cds because then they will make money off it rather than some pirate company bootlegging it (not incl the free trade fans in that).
#30 - Posted 12/1/07 @11:23PM by Tai Shan [contact]
I'm going to indulge in some shameless self-indulgence and accept that rumor as fact for a second or two.
...
WOOOHOOOO!!!! A new album!! :D
*sigh* Somebody pass me a big grain of salt, please.
Thanks for posting that Weird Al video. After all these years, he's still got the skills.
I love the One Little Victory "trainwreck." Brief pause.
#32 - Posted 12/2/07 @12:25PM by pinkfloyd2000 [contact]
Saw Al in concert this past summer and he did a good chunk of "Drive Thru" with the accompanying video playing in the background. Hilarious stuff. Great live show, incidentally, if anyone gets the chance to see him. You may think it'd be lame, but trust me -- it's not. It's just a damn good time. Al is 45 years old now and he has the energy of an 18-year old on stage.

As they say, "better late than never"- in which case, I can only be the best. This is
"Random Rush, with your host- slavetothehormone".
First off, I'd like to apologize for not getting this in on Friday. It was the week of my younger sister's birthday (she turned eleven), so we spent the past two days having parties and having family and friends over. Plus, I'm holed up in my room while Mom is gift wrapping, so this is the only time I've found- so here goes:
1) Yess! I can't wait- coming soon, I'll be able to see everything I saw at the concert- except the DVD is in Finland, not Massachusetts, and probably won't be shot from our viewpoint... but other than that, it should bring back memories....
2) They WILL be nominated, and they WILL win, we'll all make sure of that.
3) My first thought upon looking at Neil's pic:
"Wouldn't that make the perfect Rush Christmas card?",
until I saw the look in his eyes that say,
"What? It was cold out... and Alex put me up to it."
4) A cover? I guess the players can't handle the real thing.
5 and 6) Wow- Neil's kit is really getting coverage. Too bad I didn't see it when it was on display in my city.
7) Let's see-
Best Live Act: RUSH
Best Song: Far Cry
Best Rock Album: Systematic Chaos (kidding- Snakes & Arrows).
8) I don't think I can recognize a second-long clip. But maybe I'll check it out- advent is a season of charity.
9) Hmm. My own historical laboratory... I'll sleep on it.
10 and 11) I'll have a look at those...
12) I think I'll need a grain of salt the size of Mount Washington (bumper sticker: "This car climbed a grain of salt"). And none of that regular salt, I mean that delicious Sicilian sea salt that tastes great on pizzas.
It's true- I've got skepticism down to an art, yet I maintain a healthy suspension of disbelief. In fact I've got string I can dangle my disbelief by over a cliff. Get it? Suspension... from a cliff... by a string...?
Alright, I'll stop... In fact, I have to- it's the end of the entry. Merry Christmas.
By the way, #32: Alex is 54, not 45. I'm sure he's very flattered though.
Wow!
the boys DID make S&A in record time...Lerxst says it was the fastest made album since Kings...so maybe they've got the ball rolling (actually they do as we all know) and are going to strike while the iron is hot.
I guess, if i HAD to, i'd buy a new rush album.

re #10
jaytee578 got the best cryptogram I've ever seen, check it out!
Sooner or later we're gonna see ME-LERXST, or I-WEINRIB, even NEIL-DRUM
Now THIS is weird...
Slagwerkkrant is what I served for dinner tonight. It's a DRUMMING magazine????
