It's official! The band has posted a statement on their website (link, that they are preparing to release their new studio album, titled Snakes And Arrows. The album will hit stores 1 May 2007. A sample of one of the new tracks, "Far Cry", can be heard on their site. The track will make its radio debut on 19 March. This will be Rush's 19th studio album, dating back to their self-titled debut album in 1974. Rush's most recent album, Vapor Trails, was released in 2002. So...about time we heard something about the new stuff. What do you think? |

You know, I really haven't minded any of the newer Rush albums, well maybe not Roll The Bones, but it may be time for a lyricist. His playing is great, but some of the more recent subject matter seems pretty lame, nothing of the likes of Caress or 2112, even Signals and Grace were still all right. Have Alex or Geddy anything to say or are they just illiterate? The music has always been cool to me. I will buy the album. |

Well, think about it this way: Neil Peart (pronounced "peert") is the main lyricist for Rush; he's responsible for writing such tracks as Closer To The Heart, The Big Money, One Little Victory, Tom Sawyer, and Force Ten (the latter two co-written with lyricist Pye Dubois). His writing style (especially in the 90's) is the deepest I have ever seen of any modern-day lyricist, most of it can be attributed to his emotional experiences. He has experienced so much in his life, both good and bad times. He has a lot of feeling in his words, because of all the feelings he's felt in his lifetime. Since his entrance into Rush after their first album, he has been a huge part of their success, and continues to be a huge part to this day. I can't wait to see what his complex and unyielding imagination brings forth on this upcoming album. SNAKES AND ARROWS - 1 MAY 2006 |

Actually, their most recent album was "Feedback" in '04, but I don't know if you count that 'cause it's all covers. I'm really looking forward to the new albums. The clip of "Far Cry" that I heard sounded pretty heavy, like the older stuff. Very Hemispherical... Also... A new album usually means "TOUR", am I right? That, aside from the fact that Neil said that there would be a tour, and it would be kinda stupid if there wasn't. I like you, mystic_rhythms... Finally, someone who CARES about the new Rush album. My best friend pretty much hates Rush to pieces, so the only people I can talk to about it are my parents. |
| mystic_rhythms 20.02.2007 12:53 |
Well, Space Ace (lol I like that name), I don't count Feedback because it's not 'original' material, but it's still a Rush album, so I guess it counts in the whole 19 studio albums. Hold on...*counts on fingers* Yep. Including Feedback, this will be #19. That's a lot for a band that's turning 33 this year. -=Brian=- btw Space Ace, it's good to know somebody ELSE remembers KISS Meets the Phantom Of The Park lol bonus points for actually using a quote from the movie in your sig :p |

Also, only Bruford (in the above list) uses tracks, just like Neil does live. NEW PRODUCER FOR RUSH? TAYLOR HAWKINS & THE SUPERBOWL: "I was watching the game at our producer Nick Raskulinecz's house, and since he's doing the new Rush album, all the guys from the band were there," he said. "I mean, I'm outside smoking a cigarette with [Rush drummer] Neil Peart and someone sticks their head outside and goes, 'Uh, dude, Prince is doing your song.' " Hawkins said he hasn't heard from anyone in Prince's camp about the cover (neither has MTV News, which made several attempts to contact him about his Super Bowl medley).

Sir GH<br><h6>ah yeah</h6> wrote: Keith Moon just banged whatever he wanted to bang. I love The Who, but Keith Moon was a horrible drummer when it comes down to it.Oh Bob... it breaks my heart to read this. Moonie was unpredictable and occasionally sloppy, but he was anything but a horrible drummer. Live, he was unbelievable; there's footage of the band performing 'Shout & Shimmy' from 1965 or 1966 (from The Kids Are Alright DVD), where he's all over the place, as if he was soloing and the band were providing occasional accompaniment. True, once he got into drink and drugs, his performances started to get worse and worse, so watching 'Baba O'Riley' or 'Won't Get Fooled Again' from The Kids Are Alright is a bad idea – they were filmed four months before his death, at a time when he was at his absolute worst. In the studio, he was far more restrained (because the producers kept making him!), but what I found interesting was that he complemented Daltrey's vocals (the rhythm section of most bands are the bassist and drummer, but the only true rhythm section of The Who was Townshend, it would seem); from the Classic Albums DVD of Who's Next, Daltrey isolated just his vocal and Moonie's drum performance, and whenever Roger accentuates something in his vocal delivery, Moonie's right there with a drum fill or a cymbal crash or something eccentric. Really interesting to listen to. Anyway, I agree that there are TONS of better drummers than Keith Moon, but they're technically more proficient. Moon didn't give a crap; he was more of a comedian that happened to play drums really really well. The thing about The Who and Keith Moon was that their drummer wasn't just there to go boom-tsh-boom-tsh on the drum set, which is easy to hear once you listen to the two post-Moon albums with Kenney Jones: with The Small Faces and The Faces, he was excellent, but he wasn't wild and unpredictable like Moon was. As for Moon and Bonham: Bonham was wild and unpredictable, but he had more structure, which a band like Led Zeppelin needed. They came from a blues background and delved into more eccentric musical styles ('Kashmir', 'In The Light', etc.), and two of the band members – John Paul Jones and Jimmy Page – were experienced session musicians. The Who were just four rough boys from the streets who became Mod heroes, pop heroes, and then rock opera heroes. |

Saif: Actually, you've probably heard these drummers: Kenny Aranoff drummed for John Mellencamp during his big hit days. Steve Ferrone drums for Tom Petty among others. He was also the drummer on Brian's "Another World" track. Bill Bruford - Not just KC, but Yes and his solo material including work with Tony Levin is great! Steve Gadd - No explanation needed Simon Phillips - Keith Moon's replacement, now drumming with Toto, and one I've been fortunate enough to do a set with. Will Calhoun - Living Colour's drummer, now pretty much the man in demand in modern jazz and R&B - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - SIR GH: The current columbia remaster is an excellent version of Jack Johnson. Remember, this is not a session recording but a compilation of jams carefully edited together by Teo Macero and Stan Tonkel. Several musicians came in and came out during this period. But it all came down to Billy, Herbie, McLaughlin, Steve Grossman on sax (who was 19 at the time!!!) and Michael Henderson on bass. This was Miles' Rock album. As a keyboardist, the most interesting thing to me about the recording is that Herbie Hancock doesn't lay a finger on a piano or Electric Piano. He plays a Farfisa Organ throughout... he'd never played one before, ever. Sorry, someone said Miles and I went a little crazy. Happens. |

I just haven't been able to get into Keith Moon. I see him as being frantically all over the place, without any idea of what he'll be doing in 4 bars. I just hear him doing the same stuff over and over again... all the same fills, on every album. There's a Zeppelin bootleg (LA 6-23-77) where Keith Moon plays Moby Dick with John Bonham. Most fans think this is a brilliant performance, but to me, it's 15 minutes of sheer unstructured lunacy. After the drum solo, Keith runs to the mic and says Bonham puts Buddy Rich to shame. That's precisely when I lost my respect for him.

You clearly know your stuff about The Who, and you write so articulately and passionately, in such a way that you can convince someone how right you (think you ;) are. I'll have to listen up for that kind of stuff when I listen to The Who in the future. That's all you're gonna get for now, boy! ;) And thanks for all the info, Micrówave.

That's precisely when I lost my respect for him.Not that it's any excuse, but the period following October 76 was when Keith was entering his decline and was almost always on booze and drugs everyday. He couldn't even play a live show without consuming several bottles of brandy, so I wouldn't be surprised if he was even more sloshed this time around. As for Keith's comment about Buddy Rich... it was just a joke I'm sure ;) Keith's two major influences were Gene Krupa and Buddy Rich, and he was hardly ever serious anyway (he once convinced a journalist that he was going to buy a hotel that he could smash in peace...), so I'm sure it was spoken with tongue firmly planted in cheek. Of course, I've always found drum solos absolutely boring (and I used to be a drummer!), so I don't know how valid my points are... |

"sheer unstructured lunacy" Heh.... love it or hate it!! I saw a brief clip of Moon banging timpani next to Bonham on Youtube once (it's since been taken down). I couldn't tell if it was any good because you couldn't even HEAR Keith. It was just funny watching them clown around. "the period following October 76 was when Keith was entering his decline" I dunno.. I reckon he was well on the way long before that! "what I found interesting was that he complemented Daltrey's vocals (the rhythm section of most bands are the bassist and drummer, but the only true rhythm section of The Who was Townshend, it would seem); from the Classic Albums DVD of Who's Next, Daltrey isolated just his vocal and Moonie's drum performance, and whenever Roger accentuates something in his vocal delivery, Moonie's right there with a drum fill or a cymbal crash or something eccentric. Really interesting to listen to." I first saw that clip on Youtube; then for my 21st my sister gave me that DVD. It's fantastic watching Roger get giddy over Keith's drum track. "True, once he got into drink and drugs, his performances started to get worse and worse, so watching 'Baba O'Riley' or 'Won't Get Fooled Again' from The Kids Are Alright is a bad idea – they were filmed four months before his death, at a time when he was at his absolute worst." True enough... sloppy as all buggery in that performance! I feel for him though... he really was trying. The bastards nailed his kit to the floor so he couldn't even smash the kit on his *last show*... Not like the drumming on "Who Are You" is anything like his best work; but I actually like him better on the version in the film. "Keith Moon was a horrible drummer when it comes down to it." Hmmm! I... yeah, y'know, much as I love the guy I could understand why you'd think that. Meh. I love his stuff (before a certain point, anyway). How about that Zak Starkey! |

I concur. Well I rather his stuff with Oasis. Plus...he's Noel/Liam/Gem/Andy's age so fits in more with the immmmmmage. It'd be rather unusual in the studio for Roger/Pete to say 'Oh yes, I remember when your dad and I played on the same billing' Of course I like Oasis. |
| john bodega 23.02.2007 23:41 |
The bugger about Zak is The Two... cough, I mean The Who... couldn't use him on the album. I think he's only on one track? What a shame!! "I tried searching for it but couldn't find it! Could you give me a link?" Shit.... it is hard to find; Youtube seems to be 50 pages of that goldfish drum solo..... Ooh! The Who do Beatles.... link shit... still looking.... I'm on page 5 now!!! >:( OH I love this video link Go Johnny Go.... SHIT I have no idea where it's gone. Possibly been taken down? Shit, maybe I ought to put it up myself.... (As a footnote - the Classic Albums series is pretty good, but not consistently so. The Pink Floyd one was probably the best - "Who's Next" and "A Night At The Opera" are fascinating but have far too many invited guests and talking heads offering up their opinions.... not to mention - Pete does talk about Lifehouse a wee bit too much.... at times.) |

I hope they touring europe with the new album! I heard a short sound clip on their webside, reminds me a bit of One Little Vitory (the hard breaks..) and then Alex plays a piece that sounded like Hemispheres. Unfortunatly the clip stops then.. Have some of you heard a bit more from that album? I saw Rush in Frankfurt 2004, it's a pitty that they dropped a few songs for "R30". (I have an complete and excellent audience recording , mail me if someone wants to trade it for a Queen Show : oliver_mueller@manmadeplanet.de) Hey Bob: Keith Moon is the shit! I play drums too, and the way he plays on Live at Leeds and other early live shows is fantastic! He never played a drum solo, but he threats his instrument like a solo piece! (Alltough you're right, Bonzo is (technicaly) a way better drummer...) But Neal Peart...he is God! I'm still tryin' to get "Subdivions" on the drums together...when Rush make their 40th anniversary Tour, I'll will get it ;-) |

Pretty sure Moonie had the odd solo in his prime? I don't think it was ever a regular thing though like 'Moby Dick'. I know there's a very popular clip of him doing a solo (the one with the goldfish in his drums) but that's apparently a very hideous edit of a much longer and slightly more interesting solo. Meh.

Meh.He only played two "solos" during live shows, and both were unintentional -- I think Pete's and John's instruments cut off during a jam of 'My Generation' and Moonie was the only one left playing, and after the song was done, he grabbed Roger's mike and yelled, "I hate drum solos, I think they're really boring!"

What do you think of "Far Cry"? I think it's cool, but it also could have been on "Vapor Trails"! I wish they would do another concept album ; like a sequel to "2112".... But I'm shure the new Album will rock; just like ALL Rush Albums!!! |

Cygnus X-1 wrote: I wish they would do another concept album ; like a sequel to "2112"....I was thinking about that too. Unfortunately, there aren't many good ideas for 'concept albums' these days. Back in the 60's and 70's, they were all over the place. Sgt. Pepper's, 2112, The Wall, etc...it's tough to make a good one. Take The Black Parade by My Chemical Romance. That's probably the best example of modern concept albums. A twisted story with a dark premise mixed with eccentric lyrics and edgy technique from the band (especially from frontman Gerard Way). Now I'm not comparing MCR to Rush...that's no contest. Rush is a kickass band and this next album (even if it ends up being their last, god forbid) will be one of the best for 2007. |

I'm goin' to both German Dates! Wow..(hands are shakin'...) this is just like a dream!!!!!!! The Frankfurt Show in 2004 was the first time I saw them, I waited for years and years, and now they return (After nearly 3 years!) Not bad for us Rush geeks here in europe... |

About the actual topic of discussion... Snakes And Arrows, as far as I'm concerned, is the best Rush album since Signals. Rock solid for the first time in 25 years, I think. |

I wonder if they'll hit Brazil again, I've been getting into them. By the way, what album(s) do you guys recommend for beginners? I've only got the Rush in Rio video, and I love it. |

2112 - Vintage RUSH Hemispheres - Vintage pt II Permanent Waves - more radio friendly Retrospect Disc I & II - great overview But if you loved Queen II, you may find my favorite Rush album, Caress Of Steel, quite pleasing. It pleases me. |
