Two of them will attend, while Peart stays home moping around and writing interminably dull, long-winded & self-important books about how much he hates this awful, awful job he has, and how much he prefers riding around on his motorbike.

Especially if they're European. Shut up & play the drums, Purt, just shut up & play the drums. J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Nice one! Roll on 2011 for Rush gig(probably o2). They may even announce dates on the awards night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would far sooner wait a bit longer for them to tour supporting the new album than have them bring the current tour over here. J.

Hot Tub Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 I'd love them to tour with the old stuff - 2112, Hemispheres, Farewell To Kings, etc. Yes, yes, Rockosaurus, I know.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Fudge Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 If they do a European tour we could be in for a bit of a treat, new stuff, MP, B sides???? Not just the coast to coast US set. I know what you are saying about Peart, although he did come across better than I expected on "beyond the lighted stage". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the same but smaller and there weren't any teenage sons. There were some women there though. I think.

Mr Fudge Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 I've booked to see Quo. Never seen them live but my 5 and 8 year old love them since I sky+ their Glastonbury gig a few years ago. I'll get the Mrs to drive and take on suitable refreshments. I have to admit I'm looking forward to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hot Tub - not sure Geddy can do the vocals for a lot of the pre-Permanent Waves stuff justice any more. They've been playing 2112 dropped to D for years now - and it don't sound right! Their recent stuff's been quite hit-or-miss for a while but I am looking forwards to the new album, mostly because it seems it'll be a story-based concept affair. About bloody time! J.

KevB Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Yep, if you want to hear some old stuff you are better off going to a Bravado gig these days than waiting for the real thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
