No matter what anyone thinks about Rush, whether they like them or not, I think everyone can pretty much agree that Neil Peart is the greatest drummer of all time!
Damn the Roll the Bones tour must have been awesome...
Greatest rock drummer ever, in my opinion.
UPDATE - 3/28@4:48PM: I have also received confirmation that Headlong Flight will indeed be the first single and that a 5.5-minute edit will be hitting radio on April 19th. The listening party did indeed take place yesterday, and Roadrunner is keeping a very tight lid on the track, so it's unlikely that it will leak. Although there's a possibility we'll get to hear a sample online sometime before the radio release......It's going to be 71/2 minutes long.
I think due to the fact that the members of Rush are considered some of the best musicians in rock they are given a pass by those who might have a distaste to their kind of music progressive rock. Certainly they are some of the best musicians to be heard live they always give a great LIVE show mainly why I've seen them 46 times so far. One drawback they usually never change up their setlist maybe due to it's incorporated with video, lighting and other stage pyros etc...... which adds to their difficulty of adding or subtracting songs to their setlist.

Record Store Day is 3 weeks from today, April 21. Usually the labels will press some limited runs of vinyl to be specifically sold on that day and stamped as a "Record Store Day Exclusive." Last year, they released a 7" of Caravan/BU2B (see pic below), and since they're on the cusp of releasing Clockwork Angels, just wondering if they were gonna do anything this year. But I actually answered my own question - someone posted the record store day list in another thread: Record Store Day 2012 topic

Lyrics to the next single *Headlong Flight* MAYBE
Bound to the earth in a headlong flight,
Toward a city I do not know,
Winding through the void of night
With stars above and fire below
Beneath my feat a rumbling shell,
Deeper still a molten shell,
The souls within its blinding breath,
Are charred into a shriveled death.
I stoke the fire of the big steel wheels,
Navigate through celestial fields
What is the fate to which I fly?
What does it mean to live and die?
A perilous path on which I tread
The Watchmaker casts ????
Into the dream that sweeps them on
A mystery still where the have gone.
Some days were dark, some nights were bright,
I wish I could live it all again.
Peace

I was at a tradeshow in Orlando last week and one of the exhibitors had a reception at their booth after the close of the show every day. They actually had a Rush cover band set up and played for an hour every day, they were awesome! Still have yet to see the real thing live though!

About to give it a proper listen with headphones...liking what I heard so far.
2003: San Antonio, Houston, Dallas, Seattle; 2005: Monterrey; 2006: Chicago 1 & 2, Grand Rapids, Cleveland, Detroit; 2008: West Palm Beach, Tampa; 2009: Austin, LA 3 & 4, San Diego; 2010: Kansas City, St. Louis, Columbus, Indianapolis; 2011: PJ20 1 & 2; 2012: Missoula; 2013: Dallas, Oklahoma City, Seattle; 2014: Tulsa; 2016: Columbia, New York City 1 & 2; 2018: London, Seattle 1 & 2; 2021: Ohana; 2022: Oklahoma City
It's kinda like Bastille Day meets By Tor meets Secret Touch
I agree with that sentiment, man I'm pumped for this massive tour in the fall. Listening to this song with headphones you can really feel each intrument they play.
The MORE I listen could this be a farewell song what do you all think?
Peace

Local station has played twice this morning already ...... sounds awesome, the "heavier" Rush is back!
Isn't that awesome the heavy stuff a bit of their past as they move forward into the future even if it's the last time! Now did they play HF in it's entirety? I'll see if my local stations will play it.

I agree it's not as heavy as Caress of Steel, Hemipheres, 2112 etc. but it's alot heavier than what they've put out lately ..... heard 3 times now, full song ..... Hamilton, On Y108 ... Rush country!

Lyrics to the next single *Headlong Flight* MAYBE
Bound to the earth in a headlong flight,
Toward a city I do not know,
Winding through the void of night
With stars above and fire below
Beneath my feat a rumbling shell,
Deeper still a molten shell,
The souls within its blinding breath,
Are charred into a shriveled death.
I stoke the fire of the big steel wheels,
Navigate through celestial fields
What is the fate to which I fly?
What does it mean to live and die?
A perilous path on which I tread
The Watchmaker casts ????
Into the dream that sweeps them on
A mystery still where the have gone.
Some days were dark, some nights were bright,
I wish I could live it all again.
