But I think the CA album is phenomenal. Edited May 21, 2013 by ead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_5 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Can't afford it either. Bugger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevB Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Could afford it but not prepared to pay it, got to draw a line somewhere just like I do with music gear or anything else. CA still hasn't really gelled with me either and if they give it the sort of promotion that they did with S&A then I'd probably find myself looking at my watch a bit too often during the gig. Probably see the inevitable tour DVD at some point, think it is due out before end of this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzz Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Looking forward to it. Give the cost of tickets, I ration myself these days - not seen them since R30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wateroftyne Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 *rolls out stock answer* I'm giving it a miss too. IMO, CA was a non-event, musically speaking. The tickets are too expensive. The [i]spoiler alert - highlight to read:[/i] [color=#ffffff]addition of the string section[/color] is pure cheese. The animations are getting tedious. I find myself watching them more than the band. Alex's guitar tone is hopeless. Despite all this, I still love 'em. That's the power of Rush for ya. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jezzaboy Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Too expensive. And Geddy has lost all the top end in his voice if the dvd of Time machine is anything too go by. An WOT, are you serious re the highlight bit of your post???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevB Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Plus it's also got a bit cliche'd, lots of bands have done it over the last 10-15 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spongebob Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Can't afford it now, but booked my tickets for the O2 last June when I still could.... Can't wait to hear reports back from the Manchester show - the setlist from the tour so far looks excellent IMHO.

dmccombe7 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I'm going to the Glasgow gig. Haven't seen them in a few yrs but I'm not a huge fan of Clockwork Angels. Preferred S&A. Sound has changed and Geddy doesn't have that clear cut bass sound. I still like them and have been a fan since 76 - have all their albums too. This will probably be last time i go. Think tickets are getting a bit pricey too. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leen2112 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Gone are the times when I used to go to most of the shows in a tour, even going to Prague or Toronto or wherever. I'm still going to Glasgow though and I can't bloody wait!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonybassplayer Posted May 21, 2013 Author Share Posted May 21, 2013 I really cant afford it and agree that the prices are getting silly Not really got in to the albums since Moving Pictures But I am so revved to see them again. I thought the last tour was very entertaining and lets be honest they cant keep going with these world tours forever can they. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Cloud Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I have not missed Rush in the UK since the Signals tour and have been an avid fan since 1980.....but something strange has come over me with regard to them, and after some (considerable) deliberation have decided not to fork out my hard earned on this tour for the first time. At the time machine tour a couple of years ago I had a moment of clarity and suddenly realized, about mid way through, that I was really bored hearing the same old stuff yet again...and that the new material just is not my cup of tea at all. I also found the video footage featuring the band throughout to be only "mildly amusing" at best whereas others around me were splitting their sides. It's probably just me!. Anyway, that aside, good luck to Rush on the tour and I hope all of the basschatters that will be attending a great gig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new stuff is just pretty dull, generic and unmelodic. I wish they'd be themselves and stop trying to sound like other bands. And I know NP isn't a groover, but he used to swing a bit. Now he just sounds leaden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arthurhenry Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I found the video footage highly amusing on the R30 tour, but fairly tedious on the last two tours. I'm not looking forward to the chore of listening to CA once more before I see them in Brum on Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkypenguin Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 My dad got me tickets as a surprise for me coming back from my cruise contract in the Caribbean. Can't wait, saw them on the snakes tour and they were brilliant! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RhysP Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 All sorted for Birmingham on Sunday - got my tickets the day they came on sale, hotel & train booked. Only problem is I've just broken my bloody foot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
