         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!!
