Hell has frozen over! The second part of the Rush interview is here:
http://www.rockband.com/blog/entry/409891

Thanks loads for the patience-- and heck, thanks for the impatience too. Would've loved to put this up sooner, but most of it is about "Moving Pictures" and of course, we weren't allowed to reveal that until today. (In other words, most of you guessed right on why it was delayed). As a reward of sorts, part 2 is twice as long as part 1!

Hope this helps you pass time until the Moving Pictures DLC is released!

I couldn't see it in that picture very clearly. Looked like lit up amps to me until I Googled "Rush and Chickens" and could actually see the chickens roasting.

Not a big Rush fan, but I've enjoyed playing all the songs in RB well enough, and we'll definitely be getting the album. Nice to have the original versions of Lime and Sawyer.

so many good things....one time...overloading.....


but seriously, another good interview. i love how down to earth they are after being so huge, and how they can still rip on themselves. the best part was when he asked about the chickens (if you've seen them live recently you'd know what i'm talking about) and he goes thats it im outta here lmfao

Awesome, Thanks HMX! Can't wait to buy Moving Pictures. Although it'll be weird now having cover and actual versions of three different Rush songs... ;)

Can't wait to play YYZ, one of my favorite songs of all time! I think I might go play GH2 right now just to do it...

I did that a few weeks ago. I turned it on and chose YYZ. *click, click, click, pop, click* I made it through the song in the name of Rush, but immediately turned it off asking myself how I ever dealt with that SG controller.

Anyway, let me try to put my excitement into words....

This is so awesome! seriously the best dlc ever and I'll finally purchase my first full album. But seriously I'm pumped for YYZ and red barchetta but THE CARMERA EYE! Finally a rush epic will be in rockband, clocking in at just over 11 minutes this one will be so much fun to play. Thank you so much Harmonix, and yeah the interview was great.

Many huge thanks to HMX for this. I bought Rock Band a couple months ago because I learned that a few Rush songs were being made available as DLC. I played the game like crazy for weeks, and then left it be for the last couple weeks. Then I saw an announcement that Moving Pictures was going to be available, and now I'm playing again and looking forward to downloading the whole album. Absolutely awesome.

Sorry to bump this thread but... it's been almost a month, any news about Moving Pictures DLC? :confused:

Ventis
09-17-2008, 07:14 PM
yeah, bump also, i mean with the amount of money being fed to them by all of us you would expect the courtesy of some information. But no, we just get to remain excited every friday only to be kicked down to earth with some more metal/comedy tunes. And peace sells would be ok, if the best song was on there, but oh no! being English i am forced to wait until rock band 2 is released, which again is being kept secret by the team here. So, in conclusion, rush would be nice to have soon, if it isnt happening in the near future, tell us, for the love of cheech and chong please give us something!

Yeah seriously, just something would be nice at this point, or at least tell us what the problem, or when its expected to release. I know they said a couple of weeks but its almost been a month now.

09-19-2008, 09:54 AM
I would have to agree it's time for some info on it. If it truly is a technical issue.

If it is a legal issue or the band didnt like some of the changes to the song to make it fit the format. They may be prevented from speaking about it. But then they could say they arent allowed to talk about it. ;)
