RUSH - Getting Home Studios Ready For New Album
December 29, 2005, 18 years ago
RUSH frontman Geddy Lee spoke to MTV.com's Jon Wiederhorn recently about their latest R30 DVD/CD package and a number of other topics. Recently, Lee, Alex Lifeson (guitar) and Neil Peart (drums) have been getting their home studios ready to start writing, and in January they plan to begin the collaborative process. While Lee hasn't a clue what the record will sound like, he wants to capture some of the freshness and spontaneity of Feedback. "There's a great spirit on that record, and I'd like to kind of learn from that," he said. "But that's a very abstract thing. When we sit down to make a record, we have these conversations at the beginning, and then the record takes its own life and bears little resemblance to the conversations you had in the beginning."
Lee hopes the band will write quickly and have the new album ready for a summer 2006 release. However, he's not sure it's a realistic goal. "Vapor Trails took 14 months and Feedback took three weeks, so at this stage it's safe to say that we have no idea when the next one will be ready."
