I like Rush as much as the next guy (maybe not AS much), but why the heck isn't this purely bonus material?
Can we get someone with musical taste to write the guitar hero/rock band articles from now on please?

Rush said something was in Rock Band 3. They never said it was 2112. And knowing Harmonix if 2112 is up their sleeve it's DLC.
Anyhow I for one think this is pretty badass. For one it's like the only good thing Rush ever did. So that's a plus. And second I've always wanted to see a band game try to actually tell a rock opera so this should be an interesting experiment.
I don't think everything Rush has done is bad but there's a lot of mediocrity to sift through. 2112 however I must admit is friggin' fantastic. Moving Pictures is meh and all else just kinda blows.

If you want Rock Opera, Rock Band could have had a The Who pack with all of Tommy on it.

I'm holdin' out for Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes From A Memory by Dream Theater or The Hazards of Love by The Decemberists.
However I would take the film version of Tommy. If only for Tina Turner.

@Big Punch: She was raised in a family of mad gypsies who roamed the country in search of Rush concerts to attend.
The above is barely an exaggeration.

I like RUSH and Queen and someday hope the two will fuse into a giant robot who destroys the world with a kickass soundtrack. Not metaphorically.
I think Tool fans took over the reigns from Rush fans in terms of rabidness. Though Rush fans tend to have better taste in tattoos and piercings. Mostly. Regardless, this is a thing that I am interested in.
Rush is pretty much the best band ever, as proved in the movie 'I Love You Man'.
Even so, Guitar Hero is pretty much irrelevant at this point so I think I'll pass.

That robot had better have a jewel encrusted, Lazer firing, lady impregnating perm or I'm out.

I have a friend with a horrible Rush fetish. It's good to see I'm not the only person who doesn't see their point :D
lol @ epic-koryuken
Also not a big fan of 10 minute drums solos.

@Xzyliac: I second the cry for Scenes From a Memory (if you can't tell from my avatar). Or Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence; that would be badass.
This news is certainly intriguing. I don't like Rush's later stuff (Moving Pictures and beyond, screw you "Tom Sawyer"), but everything before is just fine. 2112, I think, would be very interesting to play, especially with the added background story of the liner notes interspersed. If only I was as rabid about music games now as I was two years ago.

Their definatley an aquired taste but I've left GH since the Metallica game. However, if there's pirates, or pirate Geddy with a fake parrot and an eyepatch then I'm in XD
lol
I love Rush and like the idea for myself, but it certainly seems like a polarizing choice for most people. I'm not going to get the game; I like Rock Band so much more. I would like to see 2112 for DLC, though.
I know I lose all Rush cred here, but I'm rooting for Dreamline to be in Rock Band 3. It's my favorite Rush song. *runs away*

...and no one could seriously believe that your gf "happens to like Rush." In terms of imagination scale, you're reaching further than Penthouse Letters.

What is a "rush"?
Over here in the UK, that's just what happens when drugs hit your brain, or when you need to get somewhere in a hurry. Is it some kind of band or something?

I got all excited until I saw that this was going to be in Guitar Hero. That said, I'll probably have to rent it because I wantz me some moar Rush. Totally want Scenes from a Memory as well, but that will never happen.
Also, its not quite a fetish, @Robotic. I don't have Rush merchandise that I masturbate into. Well, not more than once anyway...

Conrad's opinon of Rush does nothing but make me like them more. Thanks for justifying my taste in their body of work.
On the other hand, the Entire 2112 Overture may be a bit much for a music game. It's rock opera piece and while it should be listened to in it's entirety (at least once in your life), playing the whole thing in a music game is is not something you would want to do more than once....EVAR). On the other hand, there are plenty of songs on side 2 (dating myself here) that would be worthy, (Passage to Bancock, Lessons, Something for Nothing).

Shit this excites me! I'm a die hard Rush fan, I'm seeing them in concert, and 2112 is my favorite Rush album. By some stroke of divine luck, I got a random bike lock and the combination was 2112. Sadly, I hate Guitar Hero, So i pray that this comes to Rock Band sometime down the road.
Gosh, between Bohemian Rhapsody in RB3, and now 2112 in the new Guitar Hero...it's like I'm suddenly caring about music games again. Weird.
All of 2112 is amazing, but it's still Guitar Hero. You can give me Christ Jesus and I wouldn't give a fuck (well, I actually don't give a shit about...nevermind).
So let me get this straight, They've basically created the old Arcade/Genesis game Revolution X, swapped out Aerosmith with Rush, and added guitar hero controllers instead of light guns.
I fail to see how adding some trumped up story is amazing innovation. Look at the competition, they're at least trying to do something new with the controllers.
*SIGH*
I hate Guitar Hero.

Looks like I will get this game just for this one song. I LOVE RUSH. This is the perfect song (for me at least).
Someone showed me Rush several months back, and I agree with you Conrad. They have talent, but it just doesn't appeal to me. Didn't enjoy listening.
Wish A GH or RB game would get some Pink Floyd in there. Would love to play "Another Brick In The Wall Part 2" or "Money". Hell, even "Brain Damage"

This is awesome news. A great song by a great band in a game that looks great. How about y'all find a writer who isn't stuck on Rock Band to write some of these articles? Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock is shaping up to be the definitive Guitar Hero game since GH3:LoR. And most of you don't even realize it, but with all of the GH games that released last year, each came with it's own improvements, in which seems to have all been thrown in to Warriors of Rock.
FUCK THAT! If you want a badass super-long song, you should have used Dante's Inferno by Iced Earth. (This is the live version, maybe more awesome than the album, but it's played faster and so is about a minute shorter than the studio version.)
Here's Part Two

@Syn 8minutes ain't very long ...
wouldn't mind seeing Octavarium on there though, 24 minutes of awesome yes please :D

I was saddened when I read this on Rush's facebook yesterday. Furthermore, reading the comments enlightened me on how few people know of rock band's new ability to teach real guitar with a real guitar, I won't comment on why this Guitar Hero is the wrong choice for this, as it should be apparent.
@samwise: [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DqKKZMhTLAw] here I'll even help since you had such trouble finding it before I'll just make the entire post a link to PART TWO. That means the 8 minutes that takes place after the first 8 minutes. Meaning that the first 8 minutes was incomplete footage and if you had bothered to pay attention to the video or song you would realize that for some strange reason IT CUTS OFF HALF WAY THROUGH hence the existence of PART TWO.
PART TWO! PART TWO! [/url]
PART TWO! PART TWO! [/url]
It's a shame this is on Guitar Hero, but the good news is if I wait three months, I can probably buy it used for $15 and avoid giving Activision anything.
Also, @silvain, Dreamline is an awesome song. Even though there's some decent tracks on Roll the Bones, I think all of Counterparts would make great music game.
