I too was VERY skeptical when I saw who started the thread. That said, I don't think this is a good idea, but doubtlessly I'll be in the minority (if you can imagine such a thing ;) ). I really have no clue why people assume that reunions of classic rock bands are a great idea. People seem to relish the thought of seeing Pink Floyd or Led Zeppelin or The Who or any other bands that have been around forever. Far more often than not it's a losing proposition with bands being FAR past their prime, unable to make any new studio material (or if they do it being FAR inferior to their great works), and often performing at far below the way they did in their prime. I truly understand people wanting to see their musical heroes that for whatever reason they missed the first time around (usually because people were too young or not even born then), but it doesn't mean seeing them now as old geezers unable to perform even close to how they used to could possibly recapture their former glory. That ship has sailed. Many argue that they'd rather have the dregs than nothing at all, but you know what I think of now when I think of The Who? I think of that horrendous superbowl performance. Sometimes it's better to let the past stay in the past where it belongs. I'd rather be left with a memory or videos or audio recordings of a group in their prime then to see them way past their prime trying to relive past glories.

^^ Would be 30 seconds of heaven for me, baby, to be smooshed in-between Alex and that other guy.

chocolate ice cream :P

I found Counterparts through RushIsABand.com (which is where I found TFR as well). As someone said earlier in this thread, it just wasn't the right fit for me. I feel bad for the people who it did fit for and who have lost "their site".. I know how much joy visiting here brings and would be sad if it suddenly disappeared. In the end, it makes me appreciate this site even more. ~Cheers, RGLT

The pizza's just the appetizer. The delivery guy is in the oven.

I've always wanted to draw up some blueprints of a Rock And Roll Time Machine. I know it sounds cliche. Too H.G. Wells right? Anyway if I could build a real Rock And Roll Time Machine it would only take you back to a specific concert date in the past. The lists some of us must have could be endless. To start things off if I could go back in time and see a show it would be a Rush "Hemispheres" concert. Damn! Perhaps Floyd or even the Beatles in Liverpool. Since I am a Bay Area guy I would go back in time and catch every Day On The Green show!!!!! Time is flying by guys! IT SUCKS!!!! See what you can before it's all over!!! Life is short! I never saw Hendrix or SRV either. Fukk! Time to hit the drawing board.

Well, I made hotel reservations for Denver...just in case....

Nah, I just thought you were being unusually belligerent and exercising your Internet muscles, s'all. It's only rushgoober, and he loves it anyway!

i know you're not talking about me, because i practically invented the VT sucks bandwagon! http://mindromp.org/forum/images/smilies/th_proud.gif as far as i'm concerned, everyone is welcome to jump on board, whether you're an old-timer or you just discovered that it sucks - all are welcome! you might never be popular on a rush board with your opinion, but at least you'll be right! :P :D You expend a tremendous amount of energy hating Vapor Trails. Why pee in the pool if others are having a good time in it? ;) :P Gary loves to just let go when he's in the pool, and at his age his bladder leaves him little choice in the matter anyway...

Damn, a lot of people want to be hacked to pieces by Patrick Bateman.

I want to know when he's going to do another series of Van der Valk! http://i.imgur.com/Ay9p8LS.jpg

400 2nd row - very happy with those I'm not one to wait around retrying and retrying ad nauseum..

they better add some L.A. dates

Yes, just purcahse the tickets as you usually would. The bank will take the correct amount of your account. There will likely be a foreign transaciton fee though. I do it all the time, my bank accounbt is in the US and I buy stuff in Canada all the time.

Gangst' buddy... go back to bed and get some sleep... you're only dreaming. There is no Rush tour this summer. :laughing guy:

The Pepsi Center is a hockey arena, no bigger than many other arenas that Rush plays in. They'll probably out about 15,000 in there for that show. It's a Friday so it should be a good crowd.

In Too Deep. It's so f***ing awful. I love Invisible Touch in all it's poptastic glory, but In Too Deep sucks maggots. Tell Me Why is another one. And Hold On My Heart. God, they're so f***ing bad.

They sure aren't giving anybody advance notice are they? Announcement and presales happen the same day for Cincy

Guess is Invisible Touch. Although Land of Confusion, written by Mike, is great!!!

Oh yeah, proviso. Clearly, I know that Jon Anderson "sings" for Yes. By my hatred for him is so profound that it bleeds into the discission of other bands.

If we are going to have a "Free For All" discussion on who the best keyboard players are then I have to mention Mark Kelly from Marillion. Signed, Ted Nugent

New Acoustic live album/DVD/Blu-Ray coming out... "An Acoustic Evening at the Vienna Opera House" Out on Mar. 26 http://s.recordshopx.com/cover/normal/3/34/345196.jpg?lp There's a trailer as well http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nL7WY5rI6HQ Edit to add.... I couldn't find an official track listing, but this is the setlist from the show in Vienna where the show was recorded via Setlest.fm... so I assume this will be the tracklisting as well. Palm Trees Helicopters and Gasoline Jelly Roll (Charles Mingus cover) Dust Bowl Around the Bend Slow Train Athens to Athens From the Valley / The Ballad of John Henry Dislocated Boy Driving Towards the Daylight High Water Everywhere (Charley Patton cover) Jockey Full of Bourbon (Tom Waits cover) Richmond Stones in My Passway (Robert Johnson cover) Ball Peen Hammer (Chris Whitley cover) Black Lung Heartache Woke Up Dreaming Encore: Sloe Gin (Tim Curry cover) Seagull (Bad Company cover)

No way am I fighting those two to get a slice - they'd end up eating my hand without even noticing it!

Keith Emerson.

so cute! I want one!

Aww..!

Nah, more fun to complain about it here.

If you don't like VT don't listen to it, burn it if you have to, just stop whingeing about it and move on. This got old about 8 years ago... If you have to complain why don't you write to Neil, he'd love to hear from you! :moon: :moon: :moon: :moon:

Yup, MoP is overrated (although it does contain a few classics), AJFA is far more interesting. Their peak, no question.

Dear Baby Cat, Your Lion, USB Connector, Treeduck, Cygnus Gal, Chicken Hawk, Tommy Sawyer and Librarian, Thank you so very much for the 5th Anniversary wishes, I so appreciate it and all of you. Good to be back thanks to the expertise of 1-0-0-1-0-0-1...you rock! ~RGLT :dweez: "We've got five years, stuck on my eyes, We've got five years, what a surprise..." (David Bowie)

Dear Baby Cat, Cygnus Gal, Your Lion, Chicken Hawk Ridertoo 98, IlSnwdog, Treeduck and BeOhBe Bob, Many thanks for the birthday wishes, I so appreciate your kind words. I apologize for the delay in responding, but I had reset my password and there was some kind of issue that prevented me from being able to log on to TRF. Of course, this having been my 50th, the administrators are convinced that it was not a glitch, but rather something to do with being elderly and memory issues...my money is on them! Good news, our administrator has set things to right and assures me that all is for the best. :) Cheers 1-0-0-1-0-0-1 for your technical expertise! ~RGLT :dweez:

No show? She just kept loading. :laughing guy: And she's still loading..! :P

Lost In Translation. I don't know what it is, I just find this movie so intriguing. The ending leaves me wanting more and i hate that so much! haha Would love to see a sequel. would love to see more of those pale pink undies. :ebert:

That is super close. :o A mere cat's whisker. And, yes, stupidity tends to be rampant. I once had someone tell me that it is illegal to be known by and called by your middle name. Stars between Sun and Moon? <everyone pause a moment and hear the song...> That would be, er, warm.

Valentine's Day is just like Christmas - a useless, money-grabbing, over-commercialized farce. People are pressured by constant advertising to go out and buy a bunch of useless shit just to "make sure their wife / husband knows they love them." If I was married and or "girlfriended," I would think that my so-called relationship is in serious trouble if I needed to go out and buy an over-priced stuff animal, over-priced chocolates (Oh, how original!) and a goddam card that SOMEONE ELSE WROTE, and then went out and spend $150 on dinner - on the exact same day that everyone else is doing all of this... just to make sure she knows knows I love her... Hmmmmm. How about this for a plan... at random times throughout the year - WHEN NO ONE ELSE IS DOING THIS - come home from work and surprise your girl or your guy with a nice little gift, a card (that you made yourself and one that YOU wrote the poem for... even if it looks like a 5 year old made it with Crayons) and then maybe go out for an unplanned, nice meal somewhere. After dinner, go for a nice walk down by the lake or the river, or in the park... give her a big-ass hug and tell her (or him) that you really love her... maybe even squeeze her bum a little at the same time... that'll get the moisture flowing for when you get home. If there are any guys reading this - trust me... if you follow my instructions above, you get the best goddam blow job of your life!
