This will be my 1st LE and probably only. I'm so danged excited about it. Never thought it would happen and still am waiting to see if it's actually true. I don't even care if they raise the price for this.
I've been a Rush fan since my cousin popped the 2112 8 track into his 57 Chevy. Being a drummer makes it an even bigger dream theme. I just hope they work Neil's kit into the design.
The entire pf should be Neil's kit with a slow spinning Red Barchetta on display in the center with driving lights blinking to the music and spinning tires. Or maybe a huge bass drum and have the double bass pedals hooked up to be timed to play to the bass! In honor of Neil's spirit. Bring back the Stranger Things projector to display on the drum.
Besides the obvious mentioned songs, add:
La Villa Strangiato (cut first 60 seconds)
Temples of Syrinx (cut first 90 seconds)
Driven (Test for echo album)
Red Sector A
A Passage To Bangkok (overrides volume settings to full)
Quoted from Darscot:They have a niche following for sure so I would expect to see their fans at an event, in general though they are not a big band in Canada. They are just one of those Canadian acts that got amplified by the CRTC. If you asked 100 Canadians to name a great Canadian Band The Hip would get the vast majority, then a bunch of other bands would split the rest getting a a few of votes each. Rush would would just be in that mix, they would be below Nickleback and Nickleback is generally hated. If you asked 100 Canadians that play music you would find way more Rush fans. Every conversation I have ever heard about Rush is never about how good it sounds or feels. It is always about how technically difficult or impressive it it is to actual be able to be able to play. Its never I love this song, its always it took me three weeks to just learn the intro, they are such amazing musicians. I know they are more popular in other places but I am surprised they are next for a music pin.
So what you're telling me is that less Rush pins will be going to Canada (more for USA and others). 
Quoted from Ceckitti:With the current rumor of this being a "boutique" game......... I am going to be so pissed if its just a reskinned Primus or "the pin".
I would be pissed also. I seriously would be finished with Stern if they did that.

That's exactly my fear. I mean, maybe a cool 80s SS game could be an interesting layout... but I wasn't a big fan of Primus or Beatles
Quoted from bbaker2824:I would be pissed also. I seriously would be finished with Stern if they did that.
Yeah I want a game. Not Primus 2.0. I don’t want an EM game in a Modern body.
Quoted from Rdoyle1978:I mean, maybe a cool 80s SS game could be an interesting layout... but I wasn't a big fan of Primus or Beatles
I hope it is a new original (and excellent) layout as well… though full disclosure, I thought Beatles was fun enough that I bought a Seawitch and am pretty enamored with it.
Quoted from Rdoyle1978:Randomly saw this yesterday. I teared up seeing Neil. He looks and talks EXACTLY like my dad, so it’s always a lightning bolt when I see these videos. Luckily, it’s also hilarious
How funny would it be to get Segal & Rudd involved for callouts, reprising their “I Love You Man” characters?

somebody post that video again!
Sterling Fuentes is a Neil clone and is rapidly approaching 200(!) Rush drum covers shot from overhead played identical to Neil. No need to secure a bunch of expensive assets, just run his playlist on the video screen, it's amazing to watch! I bet he would be honored to be a part of the game. I wonder if that would lessen the cost of royalties so we could have all the songs instead of a choice few. Or at least a jukebox mode!

Grew up in mi. In the 70s. Saw RUSH when they 1st started back in the day in bars… very early 70s. Have a broken from stick from the original drummer (not peart) from a bar in Lansing mi. Ck out this lp from 75 that they play with Max Webster. Named my dirt bike “ battle scar” after the song

NICE!! Pye Dubois who has writing credits on this album also wrote lyrics to a couple songs with Neil, IIRC.. including one Tom Sawyer...
You are correct. What a party they threw back in the day… that they never showed up for. My girlfriends brother was their limo driver in 80s in Az. Saw um back stage, but they never showed up for the after party’s. Rumor was they went to Mexico to party. The good old days

Amazing player, thanks for linking - I just watched a bunch of his videos back to back! That said, zero chance he is included in a hypothetical rush pinball machine...
Man, I really hope this game is made and honors the band properly!

Battle scar is a great song! I have that same LP unopened.

Hahahaha Rush?! They went back to their hotels and played D&D. Have you heard the hilarious stories Gene Simmons tells from that tour?
Quoted from skink91:But its Yes… no bashing on Yes. I can’t abide.
I would never bash Yes. Yes is amazing. I’m just saying they kept their old fans while Rush has continued to pick up fans over the years. In 40 years you’ll still be able to buy a Rush shirt at Target that teenagers will wear and Yes will be long forgotten.
Quoted from MooButt:I would totally buy a Steely Dan LE with Peg multiball
It’s a dream theme. Rikki don’t lose that combo. Are you reeling in the points? Peg, it will bounce back to you.
Quoted from shlt_thunder:It’s a dream theme. Rikki don’t lose that combo. Are you reeling in the points? Peg, it will bounce back to you.
This pin should come with a Fez and you can only play with it on. Also, the pin will periodically ask you if there's gas in the car.
Quoted from skink91:I hope it is a new original (and excellent) layout as well… though full disclosure, I thought Beatles was fun enough that I bought a Seawitch and am pretty enamored with it.
Beatles ruined Seawitch for me. I literally can't play SW anymore as it's boring as hell. Worse than Stern's Viper.
Quoted from shlt_thunder:In 40 years you’ll still be able to buy a Rush shirt at Target that teenagers will wear and Yes will be long forgotten.
I hope you are wrong - that thought makes me sad.
I KNOW he is wrong. Rush is my absolute favorite, but Yes has a lot of timeless prog that will never be forgotten either.
I'm talking their old stuff. Fragile, Close to the Edge, etc. Just the song Roundabout makes them eternal.

Yes has definitely been having a rough time lately - Anderson quit, they got a new guy in 2008, he had to leave for health reasons.. Squire is gone, Wakeman left again… though the new new guy Jon Davison is QUITE good, he’s like 5 decades younger than the other guys. They have a new album coming out soon. Rolled out CTTE on the turntable the other day, still kicks ass!
Of course, the new guy in Rush is no longer with us either. Still breaks my heart

Of all the musicians that have ever passed away, this one hit me hard. Such a loss.

Sterling Fuentes IS amazing, I’ve been watching his stuff a few years now, but that would never happen.
Quoted from VDrums2112:if it’s a re-skin
It’s not.
Quoted from VDrums2112:I’ve already warned my wife that a Rush pin is a possibility!… But like others have said, if it’s a re-skin of BJM/PBR/Primus, I’m out, no matter how big of a Rush fan I am!
Sadly i have to say we are on the same page. I mean i dont mind those layouts/games...... but not for that price. MAYBE half the going price for it.
Quoted from Rarehero:It’s not.
My prediction is Foo Fighters will be the next re-skin based on Quicksilver. I have absolutely nothing to base it on other than i want it to happen 
Anxiously waiting for Rush.

Someone mentioned in another thread that they would be disappointed if Rush were a re-theme of Led Zep, then someone else brought up a good point:
"We have yet to see any Spike or Spike 2 cornerstone game recycled with another layout. Designer is mentioned to be Borg, while Led Zep was Steve Ritchie. So that is very unlikely to happen."
Then when I mentioned that I hoped it wasn't going to be a WNBJM re-theme, they said:
"Being this is supposed to be a Borg design, can't see this happening either."
And I think they've whipped the WNBJM horse enough, they won't do a forth game with that layout or technology.
I'm sure Rarehero is right anyway when he said it's not a re-theme...
I really hope this game happens... Anxiously awaiting RUSH!

From what i heard..... New game, lots of ramps, and very fast
Classic song list.

I hope you are right! I'm in line for an LE.

I agree....it HAS to be an original, not a re-skin. I would not buy it if it was a re-skin.
Pin a gogo this weekend in Dixon, CA! FRI-SUN $20 for whole weekend and they sell games there. I own a Cyclone and hoping to get either a Pinbot, Bride of Pinbot or a High Speed in good condition for normal pricing, not Banning bend over pricing.

Quoted from Ceckitti:100% happening. Spoke with a couple very reliable sources at Expo. And they all were excited for it.
I have at least a premium reserved. And the option to bump up to LE if I like that art package. CANT WAIT!
Dammit ,I can’t catch a break .I’m pretty sure I’ll eventually have all music pins .Can’t wait to see it !
