Re: OT - New Rush Album? Stu certainly would have my interest. What songs does he do? Billy Sheehan? Man, I'm not sure I want to hear that ... I fear the metal-death train-wreck.....
Re: OT - New Rush Album? I saw Billy Sheen play with Steve Vai. He's actually very, very good basist (and can sing too).

Re: OT - New Rush Album? Okay, I'll ask...what does the baseball World Series have to do with Rush, and why must they wait for it?

Re: OT - New Rush Album? I was at that show. Drove all the way down from Birmingham, went to the show and drove straight back home. That was a long day of driving, but worth it.
Re: OT - New Rush Album? I'd be interested to hear a new album, but the last really solid album they put out was Counterparts. Test for Echo has some really good songs on it, but a few stinkers, and Vapor Trails was a bunch of fluff with a few really good songs on it. I'd still go see them in concert, but they're going to have to really turn it around for me to buy another studio record. The Rush In Rio live album was good because it gathered most of of the good songs from Vapor Trails, so I could clear that one out of my collection.
