Sad news. I think I knew this was coming though. Damn!!
I have followed RUSH since 1976 when I heard the album 2112.
Seen them in concert many times.

Favourite album: Signals
Favourite track : Mission

It's a shame, but it was fun while it lasted, and a person should always put their health first

Best gig I have ever been to so glad I got a chance to see them play.

This was news to me.

Slayer are doing one final world tour. No mention of any new record though.

I was gutted when I saw this yesterday, but I think it’s time they gave up, I loved the last album and would’ve liked to hear some Slayer written by Gary Holt, but if their hearts not it anymore (cough Tom Araya cough), then it’s time to call it a day and go out with a bang. Never seen em live so I’m hoping the UK leg has a gig near me :nod:

If their hearts aren't in it then why bother with a final tour? A few select arena or stadium slots would suffice you'd think.

A shame as Repentless was their best in years. Sadly in my opinion they never bettered the albums released between 1986-90. Reign in Blood, South of Heaven and Seasons in the Abyss. In fact they've never even come remotely close.

I agree about Repentless, great album, but nothing comes close to the Unholy Trinity of Reign in Blood, South of Heaven and Seasons in the Abyss :nod:
