actually seems to me that both PT and Opeth under Roadrunner got more freedom, becoming more experimental and unconventional (The Incident, Watershed). if Rush take similar direction I would be happy.

Only change that will occur is that Rush used to open shows with the Three Stooges Theme.  They will now open shows with a *beep beep* and a shout out to Acme and Wil E. Coyote.

Dream Theater and Rush co-headline tour? What???

Anyway, it's no big deal. Rush is an established act, and if they changed, who cares? They've released 18 albums already.

I agree, they should. Let's see some bands that have been around for 10 years or less get some of the spotlight.

Well, if they continue in the vein of Vapor Trails and the A side of Snakes & Arrows then I'm happy with the decision. Maybe Paul Northfield could work with them again Smile

My guess is the only thing they will do is convince them (or maybe its part of the deal already) to release a bunch of compilations, best ofs and so on.
 
Commercialization of Porcupine Tree is not working.......everybody thinks I am talking about a new kind of fruit tree in my yard.
Confused

Oh god, they don't need more compilations LOL

In more breaking news: Canadian prog rockers, Rush have renamed their groundbreaking 19th record, "Clockwork Morbid Angels!" When asked why, a spokesman for the band responded, "we feel the reworked title has a more commercial ring to it and better represents the fresh new direction the band is taking."  Also announced is a guest appearance by Sir Mikael Ĺkerfeldt of the Opeth fame in his triumphant return to his death metal roots on the albums eponymous track, which will also serve as the magnum opus of the band's nearly half a century spanning career. The track is said to be an eighty minute epic and is now being edited to a "comfortable" three minute format as to reach a broader audience.
