Tombstone Mountain Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 (edited) Rush: Clockwork Angels Live DVD Well, it’s here. The new live DVD documenting their highly successful Clockwork Angels tour will be received with open arms by Rush fans all over the world. Those who aren’t fans might be enticed to buy it, not because of the music, but because of all the “extras” it contains. Fans will certainly get the bang for the buck. Distant early rumors about the DVD were rife with speculation about which setlists would be included, but suffice to say the best of both are there. It’s not a secret that here in the offices of RollingStone a favorite pastime was dismissing this largely irrelevant band. No more. With an historic induction in the RRHOF, Rush is now mainstream and simply can’t be ignored any further (having said that, they’ll never appear on our cover). Many firsts are on display for the world to see with this release. Drum God Neil Peart looks like he’s actually having a good time, whether it’s closing out the epic 2112 with laconic precision, or nailing fans with t-shirts from his high-powered air gun. Astonishingly, there are more hot women attending this concert that all previous Rush concerts combined (probably inserted with CGI), and the band is joined onstage by a string ensemble with hot women playing instruments (not CGI). However, the goodies don’t stop there. The RRHOF induction ceremony is included, complete with Alex Lifeson and Flava Flav doing bong hits backstage. Not to be outdone by that visual statement, Iron Chef: God’s of Rock, the charity driven competition from the vaults of the Food Network is contained in its entirety. The show, which was pulled due to several factors, has Paula Deen in all her glory before her dismissal from the network. In addition, documentaries centering on performing life and backstage drama are included. The tour, which included a healthy dose of their latest release Clockwork Angels, was perhaps their most successful ever. Interesting the band chose to revisit the 80’s in terms of song choices. That era, which isn’t especially memorable (save the awful videos they produced) to the music community at large, does contain what die-hard Rush fans consider classic hits such as Middletown Dreams, The Body Electric, and Grand Designs. We know, we know. Most people never heard of those songs, but Rush has always catered to their rabid fan base who’s retarded devotion has lined their pockets, and conversely, been their “enabler” to produce moribund compositions. Obligatory radio staples Tom Sawyer, Spirit of Radio and Subdivisions are played with such verve, sexagenarians everywhere should beam with pride. Pick it up. Can’t say you won’t be disappointed, but at least you’ll be amused!

GeminiRising79 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 (edited) Who would find legitimacy in a reviewer named "La Douche"?? I'll buy the bleeding DVD purely on the basis of Alex taking a bong hit with Flava Flav! Edited October 24, 2013 by GeminiRising79 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he trying to be funny, or is he serious? Talk about damning with faint praise! Right. They can't be ignored any further because they got into some silly hall of fame which means nothing. But Rolling Stone has to be on the winning side. So. Throw the band a few bones. And some crumbs. Don't do us any favors. Please. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony R Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 This might not be their review but it is something they could have written so they are guilty all the same, the bastards!
