Huh.......huh. i respect Rush as Musicians and people all fookin' day. but it has never stopped me from being critical........at all, lol examples. i think......to my ears. When studying under gruber. it kinda dumbed down Neil's playing IMO. other's may say different. but 70's/80's Neil excites me much more. as far as ged. Around Snakes and arrows he started to yodel. it's not opinion......it's kinda fact. Not his fault (though i'd suspect had he cared for his pipes more it might've helped) it's Age. but Rush did become Swiss Rush a bit. so you are gonna hear all sorts of things and views about Rush here. deal with it or step off. Mick

What corrections? I honestly have no idea what he's talking about here. I didn't see anything wrong in the posts leading up to this. I have no idea what he's talking about anymore either and, I'll be honest, it's getting tiresome. I was, and did, listen to a few of the songs that you have, and do, post in the 80's forum. They are, and do, good suggestions. Keep up, and over, the contributions.

Hate to break it to you but you're not saying anything that long time members of this board haven't read a thousand times on here. You're not putting anybody in their place or getting them to rethink what they said. I love Rush they will always be my favorite band. But there is no denying that Geddy's voice was shot during their last few tours. Nobody is putting down the effort they put in but there were some very obvious things that were in decline and Geddy's voice was the biggest one. Neil didn't hit the drums as hard as he used to and his drum solos which used to be a highlight became very safe and nothing special in the least. Alex, I believe was still ok during the final tour. The band still played great but there were certainly some flaws that couldn't be hidden. i don't get these newcomers who think they're going to teach the rest of us a much needed lesson. if us oldtimers have proven anything over the years, it is that we are incapable of learning any lessons. Take that, newbies!

You've been possessed by ouchie. You don't think this is an important topic? We all care about Ged's financial well-being. I bet he uses Diner's Club. I was thinking "Winer's Club" http://www.2112.net/powerwindows/coverpics/EntertainmentWeekly20mar2009.jpg

This is funny. The general attitude of the long-timers is yeah, nothing we haven’t heard before...while some will undoubtedly get into it and explain and explain and explain, all over and over again. But in the end, I don’t think anyone’s minds will be changed. Let the circle jerk continue. The faster we go, the rounder we get...

That's unfortunately why I don't listen or watch very often any of the live or studio albums past R30 or if I do its only for a couple of select songs. His voice and singing style was just unpleasant and cringy. And like others have pointed out, I'm NOT saying that as a put down or an insult. I've been a big fan for many many years now. But Lee's voice was just worn out, plain and simple and there's no getting around that or denying it

In Texas...

Wishing you an especially Happy Birthday, young man! :cheers: 21 years old! You have your entire life in front of you. It goes by fast. Make the most of it while you can!

I've read various comments on here regarding Geddy's voice being shot from the last few RUSH tours. I stumbled upon this article here, which was insightful to read.

Lots of posts about animals pooping these days...

Good lord, I know that. i was going to tell you that too. But I wasn't sure so long it's been since I've seen the commercial. Now I'm glad. :D

Good lord, I know that.

Derailments aside, I hope this list turns into the TRF Top 1000, as it is both awesome and only the tip of the riff iceberg :Alex: I'm enjoying being reminded of a lot of songs I had forgotten.

Was it really 44 years ago that they created these?? http://www.ibanezrules.com/catalogs/us/1987/jem777/p01.jpg

What corrections? I honestly have no idea what he's talking about here. I didn't see anything wrong in the posts leading up to this. I have no idea what he's talking about anymore either and, I'll be honest, it's getting tiresome. I was, and did, listen to a few of the songs that you have, and do, post in the 80's forum. They are, and do, good suggestions. Keep up, and over, the contributions. Holy shit. It's contagious!

After 12 years of rep baseball, my son played his last game on the weekend. Got knocked out of the City Championships by a 3 run walk off in the last inning. I have been a coach / manager for years and just loved it. Harder on me then on him. He is off to University and the next stage of life.

Well there goes any plans to move to Texas! I hate spiders. Even small ones. If I saw that in person I would have a heart attack and end up in a silk sleeping bag.

They're only human, but they can't avoid the terrible irony and biggest contradiction of rock music: When artists become successful, it becomes a struggle to maintain authenticity, and the music suffers. To their individual credit, they have battled to hold onto their integrity more than most. And it is commendable. In the last 20 years, their mammoth efforts to will inspiration out of the ether has yielded some really good work, on occasion. I'd say, 5 songs. Which is f***ing impressive. No band can escape that black hole of cygnus. However, the trade-off, for Rush anyway, is that they've been awarded somewhat happy personal lives (not without tragedy - but that happens to all of us eventually). That stability in their personal lives is probably what got them out of the house to tour. The ART took a back seat to that, as it should have.

Rush ain't your mom. It's perfectly fine for people, even dedicated Rush fans, to have any opinions about Rush. I've been a fan since '77, and I've also been critical of the decline in Geddy's voice & Alex's playing, and Neil's apparent disdain for most of the people who have afforded him the lifestyle he lives. It's OK -- they're big boys and can take it. I bet you can, too.

The Blue Ringed Octopus: The only octopus whose venom can kill a human. And of course they look like this...

I generally try not to attach anything with a name like cephalopod to my person. It just seems like nothing good will come of it.

Well, he's the best bassist for the job, but I don't necessarily dig those masterclasses. If you want to learn form the best, go to a good school with good professors. If you want to learn from your idols, do what they did and learn by watching and listening and reading. Great artists aren't always great teachers you know. If you want to learn anything artistic, learn how to make it your own at the end of the day.

138. Communication Breakdown - Led Zeppelin (sort of a theme for this thread at some point)

135. Symphony of Destruction - Megadeth

Woman puts an octopus on her face for a photo, ends up in hospital. What a f*cking idiot.

Well I think they haven't been worthy of the brand since 1987......you would be astonished at the depths of my indifference to your reaction to my opinion.

You can criticize the band and still love them. Frankly, calling out fans for wrong-think feels very Tri-Net era to me.

Hate to break it to you but you're not saying anything that long time members of this board haven't read a thousand times on here. You're not putting anybody in their place or getting them to rethink what they said. I love Rush they will always be my favorite band.

The band still played great but there were certainly some flaws that couldn't be hidden.

I wouldn’t say “wrong.” You like what you like. I think Beggars Banquet through Exile are all equally perfect. If you don’t you don’t.

What corrections? I honestly have no idea what he's talking about here. I didn't see anything wrong in the posts leading up to this.

He'll like that. I won't bother waving 'cause he won't even notice.

I don't care but i don't think we should limit it to 150. Let it go until it dies from lack of interest... Sorry, initially I misread that. No, I agree. I don't think we should limit it to 150 either.

I don't care but i don't think we should limit it to 150. Let it go until it dies from lack of interest...

136. Walk this Way- Aerosmith (for the snobs out there I do know round and round but I still think walk this way is a more iconic riff). ;)

Yellow Ledbetter - Pearl Jam

133. Jessica - Allman Bros Band

134. Megalomania - Black Sabbath

I am indifferent to your indifference. Indifference of that magnitude must be recognised....

I am indifferent to your indifference.

Well, for one thing someone made my Rush entry(Overture/temples of Sryinx) two entries when I intended it to be one. Radio stations would often play it as one track(just like with I'm your captain/closer to home by Grand FUnk Railroad). I would like to revert it back to being one but I'm willing to be democratic about it. I think it should count as one track. Who's with me? Please vote yes or no.

Some of it is filler. They used some stuff left over from the Sticky Fingers recording sessions. I can see why you don't like it as much as those two though. I would probably give Sticky and Bleed a slight edge over Exile.

I know what happens in The Cove and can't watch it. Just thinking about it is upsetting enough and if I watched it, I'd probably have PTSD.

They played that riff to start the encore on The Devil You Know Tour.

Two docos I very strongly recommend are Blackfish And The Cove Blackfish explores how long-held misconceptions and harmful living conditions may be causing orca whales tolash out violently toward their trainers. Several cases of death and mutilation are researched, leading to some uncomfortable questions about how we choose to keep and display these large and very intelligent animals. -FeatheredSun. The Cove is a documentary where using state-of-the-art equipment, a group of activists infiltrate a cove near Taijii, Japan to expose both a shocking instance of animal abuse and a serious threat to human health. -IMDB.
