GeddyRulz Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Neil collaborated with Tony "Jack Secret" Geranios on a song called "Tough Break." It was recorded during the Signals sessions. I don't think anyone's ever heard it outside of the band and crew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cygnify Posted July 14, 2006 Author Share Posted July 14, 2006 I've heard about "Tough Break" but I wonder if this is the same thing - since the copyright is listed as "White Flag." It does indicate that the work was submitted on Cassette Tape. Thus, it must have been recorded and there is at least one copy out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verena Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 (edited) Well lookie here. Thank you both for brining us something worth talking aboot! What, and you're surprised about this ?? .. you're talking about one of the finest people here in rhyv .... and then there's me, but that's a different story altogether:) White Flag: on the social-political stuff, as always, but great lyrics. If someone helps me to find the track, for listening, it'll be welcome. ;) Tough Break: to me it's on Moving Pictures style and yes, there's something about Marathon in it. Very good song, it could be worked in a different way though, to be included as bonus track, easily. Edited May 19, 2016 by rhyv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
