Quoted from Rarehero:

They had a ton of hit singles. Working Man put then on the map in the US, with tons of Radio play in the Midwest. Tom Sawyer, Spirit of Radio, Closer to the Heart, Fly By Night and others were in heavy rotation on rock radio in the US.

Quoted from Photopin:

Question for those who managed to get an LE:
When did you put your name in for an LE?
I put my name on the list for an LE with my distributor in MAY of 2021 and still didn't get one.

Quoted from cait001:

I don't listen to AC/DC, Metallica, Rush, Led Zeppelin, Iron Maiden, Kiss, etc in my day-to-day life, but I can really appreciate all of the bands within the context of the pinball machines, and thoroughly enjoy the whole experience.
I'm in my 40s, so I imagine that some people younger than me might also have similar kinds of experiences, being initially disconnected from the music. I'll let the superfans argue about the art and particulars, but I am HYPED to try and play this amazing-looking table!
This resurgent golden age of pinball continues!

Quoted from AUKraut:

Even as a huge RUSH fan myself I gotta disagree with this: based upon mainstream Billboard type singles they did not have many. Actually only 7 if you look at Billboard's Top 100, with the highest at 21. Yes, they are a staple of Classic Rock radio, huge number of album sales and sold out tours, but not hit singles:[quoted image]

Quoted from Animal:

Very cool!
I need to do this one day.
It was a fun day!! happy to share more info if you like.

Quoted from indypinhead:

As much as I'd love to get a Rush pin...I'm really glad I jumped on the CCrLE bandwagon.

Quoted from TinyBlackDog:

I'm currently listening to the Stern Insider podcast w/ Nate Shivers & Ed Robertson and they are talking about song selection. Ed, Geddy and Alex each created a list of 20 "banger" songs that should be in the game, and 15 songs were chosen unanimously. It sounds like Ed didn't have YYZ on his list and talked Geddy and Alex into La Villa Strangiato instead. I love both songs and Ed had a good argument on why he felt strongly about LVS over YYZ. The interview is awesome and worth the time to listen to.

Quoted from Lateralus:

Yikes... Lol. I guess that's one way to look at it?
Anyway, I love TFTC and I think this pin looks great too. I like Borg's pins, so I'm happy for all who want to enjoy this as well. Cheers!

Quoted from DRDAVE:

I'm a bit behind on the latest pinball title abbreviations. What is a CCrLE ?

Quoted from MasterBlaster:

Thank you for mentioning where to find this…I was looking through my podcatcher, wondering…where the he!! Is it?!?!

Quoted from ultimategameroom:

I wouldn’t be surprised if it is 1000 LE from now on. Hopefully that will reduce scalpers a little bit. At this point in time they could probably release a Mr Hankey pin and the LE would sell out.
My only concern is the backlog. Rush looks pretty cool and I’m excited to play it but there are so many titles already ordered by buyers waiting for production and delivery.
If someone wants a Rush Premium you better order now for 2023 summer delivery!

Quoted from Rarehero:

Ok. Stern should cancel the game then. These stats clearly show there aren’t enough passionate Rush fans to support a pinball game, and they actually never existed. Australia is right.

Quoted from Jmxdc:

Anyone hear when first LE's are going to start shipping?

Quoted from MasterBlaster:

I think even people who are not into RUSH music will discover how well it pairs with pinball… change in direction, change in speed (tempo) are all things that RUSH does with regularity in their music, and I believe it will complement the game quite well. I’m not a RUSH fan, but in my mind I can see the ball moving around the playfield while certain songs are playing…it’s going to be awesome.

Quoted from AUKraut:

Never said that either: Proclaim them for who they are, i.e. a phenomenal trio of extremely talented musicians & songwriters with a long career, large album sales, and large devoted fanbase. Don't proclaim them for something they are not: producer of a ton of hit singles. Saying they are something that they are not does not help win over people unfamiliar with the group nor explain the reason behind RUSH fans' devotion to them.

A fun Rush Story from me...

Quoted from MapleSyrup:

A fun Rush Story from me...
Many years ago I was vacationing with my family at a particularly fancy place in the Bahamas. One night, on the way in to the dining room I spot the unmistakable backlit silhouette of Geddy Lee, who to my Surprise addresses me first! "Ed?", he says, surprised. "Ged!", I say excitedly. We managed to share a meal or two over the course of the week long vacation, and I try to play it cool as best I can.
The following year we find ourselves at an even fancier spot in Hawaii, and who is also at the same resort?? Geddy and his family!! Crazy. We manage a meal or two.
Year Three. I'm at a Four Seasons somewhere on the Mexican Coast, and a guy approaches me at the pool, and says, "Is it Canadian Music Week here? I just met Geddy Lee over by the other pool!". I walk over and stare in disbelief as THREE YEARS IN A ROW I have surreptitiously booked THE SAME RESORT at the SAME TIME as Geddy and his family. I say, "Ged... Are you stalking me?? Do we have the same Travel Agent?" We don't, by the way.
Geddy laughs, and says "See you at Dinner?". So, after a few meals together Ged says, "I don't know if you know this about me, but I'm somewhat of a "Birder". The Blue Footed boobies are currently nesting on a small chain of islands close by here. I've rented a sail boat to go check them out in a couple of days. Would your family like to join us?".
"That would be fantastic!", I say truly looking forward to the excursion, the boat, the birds, hanging with Ged etc.
I return to my room and I check my email. I have an email from a good friend of mine in Minneapolis. My pal (And amazing drummer!), Eric Fawcett has written to say, "Ed- I HATE to ask this, but I know you're sort of tight with the Rush guys. They're coming to Minneapolis and all the good seats are sold out. Would you mind asking for a good pair of tickets for me? I'm more than happy to pay"
I responded, "Eric- I'm going to answer this email like the 12 year old inside of me would have wanted me to. I'll ask Geddy for your tickets while we're sailing off the West Coast of Mexico doing some bird watching together on Friday afternoon!"
Eric responded right away, "I love how you roll!"[quoted image]

Cactus Canyon remake, LE

Quoted from beelzeboob:

And here I thought it was Creedence Clearwater Revival.

Quoted from mtp78:

Thinking about a pro, Are the expression lights going to be avail as a kit? Saving the big money for the next JJP release if I like it.

Quoted from Rarehero:

I'm usually joking around with "Pros are for Hoes"....but honestly, I think the Pro with the expression lights added is gonna be pretty sweet. You'll still get all the great music & light shows...you've still got the time machine. You're losing the clock, the ball lock posts behind the drops, the double shooting scoop, the up/down ramp, and the VUK ramp...but it's still gonna be a lot of fun and a great player. Once you're rocking to the music, you prob won't even care about that stuff.

Quoted from Psw757:

Here is how I viewed this
1 - clock doesn’t interact with ball and I’m sure someone will mod this and I believe the mode is still there, clock interacts with hits to the pops from what I’ve seen.
2 - ball lock behind drops, there is still a hidden shot on pro so shot still there
3- time machine still functions same minus ramp, who cares...
4- scoops still there with subway top just doesn’t eject, I can possibly see a mod for this, if not who cares
5 - the vuk is really the one big item you miss out on
Pro is going to be great especially with expression lighting and did I mention the art package rocks!

Quoted from Rarehero:

Even the dead-end target instead of the VUK isn't "bad"...it's like Addam's train shot.

Quoted from EMDude:

Question for you, how many pins have you bought in the past from said distributor? If >2 I’d say find a new distro.

Quoted from Rarehero:

Agreed, I think the good stuff and the gameplay will all still be there.

Quoted from Jmxdc:

Anyone hear when first LE's are going to start shipping?

Quoted from EMDude:

It appears the ball jumps onto the p/f from the plunger launch and the ball can slip back down to the plunger from behind the 3rd flipper. Have we seen this on prior Borg games? Thoughts?

Quoted from livetowin:

So is Stern planning on selling the expression lighting system separately across all trims like Stranger Things UV kit?
