Alex is such a class act. Love the way he pokes at the RRHOF and the gushing, blubbering guy about Moving Pictures and Neil.

As a first bit of confirmed news from Toronto; the new album IS called "Snakes and Arrows", with the first single "Far Cry" out on March 13th.

Admin please change topic to "Snakes and Arrows"

Thank You.........

Done deal bro.

Confirmed?
I thought it said confirmed rumor.
Maybe it changed?
I miss something?

Hmm, cannae say i'm overly keen on the title but what do I know?

I found this bit of info from the 'Powerwindows' site.

"Chutes and Ladders, the popular children?s game, is derived from the ancient Hindu game Leela, or Snakes and Arrows, which charts the ups and downs of the soul?s path toward reunion with the Infinite. Snakes and Arrows was designed by the seers and saints of India as a tool for understanding the relationship of the individual self to the Absolute Self..."

We call 'chutes and ladders' 'snakes and ladders' over here in England.

Blabbermouth is spouting again:

Canadian rock trio RUSH is rumored to have scheduled the following live dates in support of their forthcoming new studio album (provisionally titled "Snakes and Arrows"):

Jun. 13 - Nashville, TN @ Starwood Amphitheater
Jun. 15 - West Palm Beach, FL @ Sound Advice Amphitheater
Jun. 16 - Tampa, FL @ Ford Amphitheater @ Florida State Fairgrounds
Jun. 18 - Atlanta, GA @ HiFi Buys Amphitheater
Jun. 19 - Charlotte, NC @ Verizon Wireless Amphitheater
Jun. 27 - Mansfield, MA @ Tweeter Center
Jul. 02 - Wantaugh, NY @ Jones Beach Amphitheater
Jul. 04 - Darien Lake, NY @ Six Flags
Jul. 07 - Homdel, NJ @ PNC Arts Center

It should be noted that these dates have **NOT** been officially confirmed by the band or its management.

In other news, the first single from RUSH's upcoming album is expected to be "Far Cry" (or "Farcry"), and it is set to go for radio adds on March 13.

RUSH's new album is expected to be released late spring/early summer via Atlantic. The tracks were put to tape at Allaire Studios in upstate New York with co-producer Nick Raskulinecz. "I have never enjoyed the recording process so much, nor been so satisfied with the results," drummer Neil Peart wrote last month on his web site.

Peart previously told Billboard.com some of his lyrics for the new songs were inspired by his motorcycle journeys throughout the United States, chronicled in the recent book "Roadshow: Landscape with Drums".

"Just seeing the power of evangelical Christianity and contrasting that with the power of fundamentalist religion all over the world in its different forms had a big effect on me," he said.

none near me as of yet and won't be driving that far this year either, so...maybe I won't even get to see them in concert?

Well, these are only rumoured, not confirmed, and I am sure there will be more in the States.

Ya. That only looks like a "regional snippet" there, Me. There's hope! I'll send ya a beautiful filly to take you to the show lightning fast!

Ah, I can hear the cages rattling now with the theme of the album.

Okay PV, June 27 you're visiting me in MA, and I am off the week of
July 7, so I'll be going to NJ, if these dates hold true!

Also Jones Beach or Darien Lake too.
Maybe Kares will come along?

Corngrowing friends in middle America,
put down your SB champion stuff and head on out.

West Coasters - well, it's a stretch I know, but
see what you can do!

Oh, I could never travel across the nation to meet up with people from the internet!

Only to meet up with Rush friends.

That would be safe!
