You mean there isn't a pic of Geddy in a thong..?

Ged will always be identified by his impossibly high vocal style of the seventees, but in retrospect - he really only sang like that for a short period of time in his youth. His wise decison to change up his style with Permanent Waves is the reason he sounds so good today. His voice would be entirley shot had he continued shredding like that and I doubt they would have been able to carry on for as long as they have. I think he has proven to be a remarkably deft singer over the years. He can sing an emotional, melodic vocal like The Garden and elicit just as many goosebumps from me as the old days.

Yeah, what the hell?!

Don't dis GOAR man. We have a caption thread. :tsk:

Geddy Lee is a wonderful singer whose vocals move me in all the right ways, regardless of how he did or didn't sing when he was younger, regardless of how his peers can or can't sing now.

She looks like my date last night

Justin Hayward is not an apt comparison. Ged regularly sang an octave and a half higher, and with amazing projection and strength. Never got to see Dickenson live so I wont comment. But he never sang as high as Ged. I saw RJD in I think 2006 and he skipped a couple of his most popular songs. They were the most difficult ones. I have to assume he just couldn't do it live anymore. He sounded great though. Again, VERY strong voice, but never approached the range of Ged. Take Robert Plant; the best rock vocalist ever IMO. He never could repoduce live what he did in the studio. Ged could back in the day. Did you hear the LZ reunion? He didn't even try to do the high-strong stuff. Keep in mind that live albums are recorded under optimum conditions.

I respectfully disagree.

Well, there you have it. Porcupine Tree is done. Oh of course. Porcupine Tree is gone forever and will never EVER come back. Why is everyone trying to prove that Porcupine Tree is dead? Has Steven Wilson or any other members of the band said it's over? No. It's only been 3 years. Rush takes about 5 just to make an album. System of a Down was on hiatus for 5 years. They've been back since 2011 and still haven't made an album. I'm getting real sick of everyone saying the end is near for PT. Just look at what Steven says So I say sit back, relax, and enjoy the music. :goodone: Exactly!!! Richard Barbieri was talking about PT in a recent interview and he didn't hint AT ALL towards them being over. He was talking about how he thinks the next PT album will sound and how he would like the whole band to collaborate on the songwriting. Look at how often No-man records and they are still a band. I've said this countless times but as long as SW is making the music he wants to make, then I'm happy. I'll take an inspired solo album over an uninspired PT album any day.

What kind of mushrooms did you put in that risotto?? Please tell me you see a dragon too!

At first I was like WHA??? And then I was like :laughing guy:

Sad. Wrestlers are bar-none the toughest, most disciplined athletes among high school and college sports.

Damnit you're brilliant Sheldon. Good troll.

You clicked the topic. So you were willingly subjecting yourself to what could have been Geddy in a thong.

45. Class of '86? :haz: years, my friend. Old metalheads never die, they just keep getting heavier. Or maybe that's from all the beer they drink. Dunno. :fury: Keep burnin'...

Actually, System of a Down weren't touring. They were on a hiatus like PT until a short time ago. Only SW knows at this point. Wilson is a testament to great music and how it's crafted. He wasn't sure where PT could go with their sound after The Incident. So, instead of churning out an album with PT as the brand name, he branched out and did something different. I'm pretty sure PT will be back once he's satisfied with what he's done with his solo career.

You got the non-spinning poverty one! http://i1239.photobucket.com/albums/ff508/blackcc/GIFs/rwBFayR_zpse44e370f.gif

When I click that link this is all I see: http://i1050.photobucket.com/albums/s410/datura67/Screenshot_2_zpse7936fe9.png :P

I try to stick to the originals...but there are some mighty fine copycats out there, right?

I think the main reason is simply because the vast majority of Geddy's 1970s vocals were recorded at such an almost unheard of high range. I don't know a lot of about Maiden, or the other bands you mentioned, but I don't think any of those songs were written and sang at such a high range. Geddy's voice is super clear today... and I think he is a FAR better singer than ever. But, when people age, they change, including their voice.

I hear the REAL Tombstone Mountain levitates when provoked :P

Holdsworth hates that album because he had nothing to do with it's release and yet it's under his name. It's just an unfinished set of demos and song ideas really and was abandoned as a project after Holdsy decided it wasn't working out. Someone released it anyway without Allan's consent.

:ebert: :haz: :ebert: Happy 50th, MJ! :ebert: :haz: :ebert:

Like Moving Pictures, it's their " best " album as far as that signature sound of the band, but it's arguably not their best, if that makes any sense.

'Animals' is pure genius. Dogs is my fav Floyd tune at the moment

No, honey...they called ME.... http://placeitonluckydan.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Chaka_Khan.jpg CH-CH-CH-CHAAAAAAAAAKKKAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v423/KublaKhan/carmenripmz2.gif

All of your bases are belong to us.

The easiest guess is to say they will probably play Toronto and Montreal again. Maybe Quebec City instead of Montreal this time around?

Seriously, Where did the puke button go - and can we have it back and trade in one of these :nya nya: :hail: :d13: :guitar: :digi:

Their Milano cookies are the bomb-diggity.

I enjoy the cinnamon raison bread...pretty good for a couple bucks...awesome with butter.

NOT THE MEAT BEES! AAAUUUUGH!!

Cinci chil is very good. Was talking with the kids yesterday about making some for them. Turned my room mate on to it years ago, he had no idea but loved it. Good tread guys!

That is excellent knowledge. I have the cd but I forgot that "Dancing Men" was the first track on the album. I need to dig that sucker out and play it!

I totally agree. His drum parts for Rush are beyond incredible. Some say he is robotic at times but the man can he play the skins!! He moves me too! Even when he plays the electronic side of his kit. Simon's kit blows my mind too. Simon is a smaller dude who plays on that gigantic monster kit. I don't get the apples to oranges deal between Simon and Neil. Both rule. Simon can adapt to more musical genres. Simon plays a better double bass too. Simon wins. Neil is my favorite.

Yeah, both are great in their own ways. If you're comparing straight up technique, a lot of guys surpass Neil. But like you Earl, Neil will always be my favorite based on the parts he has come up with for Rush. His playing really moves me.
