RUSH REVEAL
VAPOR TRAILS
TRIO'S FIRST ALL-NEW ALBUM IN 5 YEARS DUE
MAY 14TH
"ONE LITTLE VICTORY"
HITS ROCK RADIO IN APRIL
NORTH AMERICAN TOUR PLANNED FOR
SUMMER/FALL
Anthem/Universal Music Canada Recording Group Rush has announced details
of their eagerly awaited new album, VAPOR TRAILS. The 13-track
collection, produced by Rush with engineer Paul Northfield (Marilyn
Manson, Hole), is set for release on May 14, 2002.
VAPOR TRAILS sees the legendary power trio - Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson,
and Neil Peart - redefining their intensely individualistic music,
blending their famously complex dynamics with driving melodic hooks and
a passionate, personal lyrical approach. Tracks like the kinetic "How It
Is," the emotive "Sweet Miracle," and the propulsive album-opening "One
Little Victory" are angular, atmospheric and altogether extraordinary.
With the visionary new VAPOR TRAILS, Rush has taken a bold step forward,
making it clear that one of rock 'n' roll's all-time great bands are
more than just back, they're better than ever.
The album will be heralded by the single, "One Little Victory," slated
to ship to rock radio outlets nationwide on March 29. The band is
currently finalizing plans for a major North American tour. Tentatively
set to kick off in late June, the trek will mark Rush's first live
performances since July 1997. The tour's first leg will be announced
shortly.
VAPOR TRAILS is Rush's 17th studio recording, and their first all-new
collection in over 5 years. The Canadian trio's 22 albums have virtually
all been certified CRIA platinum-or-better, with cumulative worldwide
sales of over 35 million. The band were inducted into the Juno Awards
Hall of Fame in 1994, received the esteemed Order of Canada in 1997 and
were given their own star on the Canadian Walk of Fame in 1999.

I'm pretty sure that this was already posted, but I absolutely dig the
similarity between Blind Faith (intro) and Alice in Chain's Angry Chair
(intro).

Some people happen to believe that drums are as much a musical
instrument as it is a percussive one, and that harmony theory applies
to percussion in many ways that it applies to a guitar or a keyboard,
or any other melodic instrument. Also, there happen to be some people
out there who like making music interesting by making it intricate, and
doing so with drums is not wrong, just as it isn't on any other
instrument. And sometimes yes, this involves overplaying... why is
that a bad thing? If you're a minimalist in your approach to music,
it's a shame that you can't appreciate someone who overplays,
particularly when he can do it well. The reverse is true: anything
that's minimalistic in conception can very well be appreciated by
someone who overplays (or just simply loves overplaying).
That's all I was saying.

Hey everyone-
The Milwaukee show tonight was a blast. I've included the set list for
you as I remember it (probably not in the right order). The show was
VERY LOUD as was previously stated on here. People were talking about it
after the show. When DT first started playing, the music was so loud and
distorted that it was difficult to understand, but then seemed to get
better. The band appeared very relaxed and seemed to really be enjoying
themselves. They were being comical with one another and the audience.
Mike was even humping the gong in the back of his drum set! Enough said.
I HOPE THAT ALL OF YOU WHO WENT TO THE CHICAGO SHOWS START POSTING
SOON!!! WHAT WAS THE SURPRISE??? Here's the set list-- NOT EXACTLY IN
THIS ORDER!!
Set 1
The Glass Prison
Burning My Soul/HK
Fatal Tragedy
Under a Glass Moon
Killing Hand
Lifting Shadows off a Dream
The Great Debate
Lines in the Sand
Set 2
6DOIT
Encore
Home
The Spirit Carries on
Pull Me Under
