I used to post in here when I first joined TRF but after a while it gets a bit dull discussing how much you like Rush. That being said, I thought I would dedicate this post to how awesome Rush truly is. I can't think of any other ban in history that has consistently produced quality original music for almost fifty years now. They have adapted, changed and remained an influential band that doesn't have to rely on old hits from the seventies to preform live. I honestly can't think of any other band that can do or has done what Rush has accomplished. I spend most of my time here in SOCN because I like to read posts from informed, intelligent people. Sometimes I forget that I'm on a forum dedicated to a rock band. I believe that the depth of Rush is revealed in its fan base. Long live Rush and long live TRF! :cheers:

To be as happy as this drummer.

If I was THAT close to Geddy the last thing on my mind would be my steak.

Of course this begs the scientific question: Will multiple versions of Neil get along with themselves, or will they be awkward and standoffish?

if time travel exists then all of the people bitching about how much rush sucks now can just stay in 1979 forever like they want

I went back and quoted one of my own earlier posts in this thread because I wanted to tell you all about something that just happened a couple of weeks ago. The weekend right after Christmas, I took my family up to my brother Matt's house- they live a couple of hours away by car, and they had just come down to us at Christmas, but we had never been to his house, so we went up. (Matt was the middle brother, until Greg died. But anyway)... At one point in our visit, the kids were all in the basement messing around, and I heard some random beating of drums. And Matt said something to me like, "Do you want to go down there and show them how it's done?"...so we went down, and what do I see right in front of me down there but Greg's old Slingerland kit- looking perfectly maintained. I was totally blown away; it was the first time I had seen it in 27 years; I didn't even know it was still around. And so anyway...Matt played it a little bit, and then I sat down and played it some, too. It was an incredible little moment. :)

I agree. I just watched the original film recently and it really holds up. I've always thought it was much more scary to not see the alien except for the tiny glimpses we get until the end.

Handle wicked gloves Handle wicked gloves Then you'll learn the lessons taught in school won't be enough Put on orchid gloves Put on orchid gloves Then you'll learn the lesson that it's cool to be so tough

Can you just have like... five beers beforehand and do some sort of freestyle dancing?

In retrospect, it might have been easier had you selected something from Saturday Night Fever.... :)

Congrats Workingcinderellaman for hitting 20,000 post. Too bad you don't get the next icon for another 111 post. :( But congratulations all the same. Here's to another 20,000 post! :cheers: :banana:

For such a small guy Geddy sure can eat! 32oz seems like a sizable portion of steak!

Knowing that I have the ability and respect to be asked to move to a different crew and be trained to be a backup Mission Director. Having the clout to say I will train to be a backup Mission Director, but I don't want to switch crews.

Being told I could "go f**k myself" by the homeless woman I had to ask to leave my property, seconds before she stuck her tongue out at me and then went on complaining to her imaginary friends about all of the ironing she had to do. Also, Sheldon quoting a song by The Brady Bunch Yes, to me.

This very underrated actor and awesome man is now 80 years old (yikes!). He may be walking and talking a little more slowly these days, but his words and his wit are still strong as ever.

Who are they playing?... :sarcastic:

To me, Yes represents what I love about music. It's not necessarily about the lyrics or the technical prowess, it's about how it hits you. As the great Bob Marley said - "One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain."

Can I have the libido I had in 79' too? :)

yesshows is great too, killer version of gates of delirium!

That would definitely inspire a flurry of posts on the New World Women board. I would not dare to venture into that part of the forum, if they let their fantasies run amok. Hey now, wait a minute ... :o :D !

Someone's been listening to Benefit, I see...

The measure of a knife, is a measure of love and respect!

I think you can get them there. You just can't get the one's shaped like a gun.....

90125. Yes snobs will tell you it's too commercial or accessible. But it is a fantastic album. My favorite by the band by a lot.

I've often wondered why Kelloggs bothered with the unfrosted Pop-Tarts; I've never known anyone til now who preferred them to the frosting-y sprinkled goodness. Now I know there is a market of at least three people demanding naked tarts. ;)

Just posted this in SOCN...and thought it should be here as well. :haz:

Thanks for all of the wonderful riffs and inspiring our Lerxst so much.

:) I'm definitely a Yessnob, but I'm also a huge fan of the work Rabin did with the band. I love Big Generator, 90125, and especially Talk. Tormato, Talk, and The Ladder are my picks for the group's most underrated records. Good job by Sheldon bringing up Going for the One. Close to the Edge, Fragile, and The Yes Album are their greatest works, but Going for the One is a powerhouse album worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as those three. And Yesshows is worth checking out in addition to Yessongs. You have a good sense of humor my friend. Going For The One is a must have.... :)

I can't really remember what kind of coffee it was but I do remember the great strawberry pop tart I had with it..... :D-13:

Toasted blueberry with a hot cup of black coffee from the Royal Solaris in Cancun. Best coffee I have ever had.

I just came across a list of Yes albums that put Yessongs at the very top...will definitely check it out!

Wanna see it. Wanna read it.

Well, let's get to it. NO +8 Indy + 7 SF-2 SD +10 Nice picks. Where have I seen these before? My guess is that at the end of the weekend we'll be tied. All teatards think alike. The spreads are just too big except SF-Carolina which has it about right.

Close to the Edge and The Yes Album are my favorite albums of theirs. Drama is a great album despite Jon Anderson not being on it, and Rick Wakeman, for that matter.

One negative thing about Pop Tarts - it is hard to eat just one. They're packaged 2/foil pouch, so, no one wants to leave one in there to get stale. So unless you've got a housemate or significant other who will agree to eat the remaining tart - down the hatch it goes. Don't think for a minute that wasn't planned by the packaging folks.

River bein' River, she made a fort. :D

Here's a song I love a lot: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Da9sc6YDBo

Mix velvetta and tuna fish. We called it booger bait. Let me tell you what, its is dynomite for catching trout. I would also imagine the catfish would dig it

Maybe people should try eating real cheese instead. Velveeta sucks.

ewwwwwwwww lol I can feel the sugar coating my teeth as I read this

Honestly, me least favorite. I see no love for the chocolate ones? For me, frosted cherry is #1

You have to admit that how they are made is pretty dang cool!

Can't believe I clicked on a Pop-Tart thread... and now I'm posting something on a Pop-Tart thread. What the hell happened to me?? I do like the Brown Sugar Cinnamon ones, though.

I love all the "classic" Pop Tart flavors - strawberry, blueberry, and cherry. Brown sugar & cinnamon is also good. Do not care for all of the funky trendy new flavors at all. Frosted, of course; I once bought a box of unfrosted by accident and had such a sinking feeling when I got home and realized the error. (Too bad Narpet wasn't around to take them off my hands). They are total calorie bombs and totally devoid of any real nutritional content - I'm sure the Food Nazis have them near the top of the Needs-To-Be-Banned list. But they are sooooooo good.

Fishstick Rhythms Capture my cods A very thin Filet We are the freaks The attendants of your sinks

the other day I put on AC/DC and my 3 year old goes "mama....is that Angus? And Bon Scott?" THAT'S MY GIRL!!!!!!!!

Black Noise from FM is fantastic. Just rediscovered the album from this brilliant band. Nash the Slash is a beast on the electric mandolin. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VigL6jN3vY

Got a feeling '83 was a good year for...Maiden, Scorpions, Judas, Ozzy, Schenker... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rT61oVBpNyA
