I saw Cinema Strangiato on Wednesday in Toronto, and spotted Terry outside the movie theater. Couldn't NOT ask him for a picture!

I wouldn't either, if I hadn't been told he was there. I left the room in a rush to use the bathroom, and as soon as I left a friend of mine said "dude, you missed Terry...he was just here a MINUTE ago!!". So I went down the stairs thinking he might still be outside, and lo and behold, he was there chatting with a friend. I let them finish their chat and asked for a photo - didn't want to be THAT rude fan who interrupts the artist to ask for a photo. The guy he was chatting with gracefully offered to take the photo.

That's great. I wouldn't know him from any other guy on the street.

I asked Ray Alder from Fates Warning about what it was like working with Terry - they did the Parallels album together. He was all compliments to him, and said "he actually produced and collaborated, and did not just sit there pressing the buttons". I think that as the music world is evolving, guys like that - Terry Brown, Martin Birch, Roy Thomas Baker etc. - are bound to be extinct, since bands are now more prone to self producing and using apps and gadgets to record. Quite a shame, since these producers played a huge part in what made bands like Rush, Maiden, Queen etc. so great.

Could Terry Brown have changed the sound of VT, Presto, RTB and Snakes?

Happy Anni 15 TRF. :cheers: Ya'll

Long may you wave, TRF. Been here 11 of these awesome years.

I do remember you saying that, man. And if meeting them at the Grapes Under Pressure event was surely a dream come true, it still amazes me how so many other chances at meeting my idols have occurred since moving here. Terry was the nicest guy ever. I gave him my business card and asked for an interview - he said he would consider it.

Yeah... Treeduck...Nugent 1978. Earl? I dunno. Maybe Merle Haggard.

https://fedoramagazine.org/command-line-quick-tips-searching-with-grep/ Introducing grep The grep utility allows you to search for text, or more specifically text patterns, on your file system. The name grep comes from global regular expression print. Yikes, what a mouthful! This is because a regular expression (or regex) is a way of defining text patterns. The grep utility lets you find and print out matches on these patterns — thus the name.

No question. So many classic bands I love used the same producer for several albums and that person almost became an extra member of the band for what they contributed that made those records that much better. Most new records nowadays are too compressed and brickwalled sounding for my taste. I'm still disappointed that Rush felt good about the way Clockwork came out sounding. I have no doubt it would've been much more listenable with Brown at the helm. Did you get the sense that Terry is still a Rush fan despite being sacked by them? Of course! He's still a regular at events promoted by fans, and was there to watch the movie. I don't have evidence of this, but I do believe he's still bitter about the band not wanting to continue their collaboration.

Joe did run a few years back, when he formed the Continuous Party.

Not the Rocker, Joe Walsh, a former Republican congressman named Joe Walsh. I'd vote for the Rocker, Joe Walsh...

So, you've never heard any full albums from Queensryche before? It's a good song. Its a great song!

Soundgarden - Like Suicide Ironic song title isn't it? I love the slow build up of this track. Kim is grossly underrated with his eastern influences, unconventional phrasing and myriad of alternate tunings. Here's a well shot live version, but doesn't quite capture the fire of the album version. Kim always ad libs his live solos, so some can be hit and miss. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-EYaXY1_4c

Queen - Brighton Rock the Allan Brothers Band - One Way Out (From At Fillmore East) Rush - Freewill the Rolling Stones - Can't You Here Me Knocking Rush - the Analog Kid Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody Eric Johnson - Lonely In the Night Alan Parsons - So Far Away Tears For Fears - Shout Smashing Pumpkins - Soma Prince and the Revolution - Purple Rain Dire Straits - Tunnel of Love Santana - Open Invitation the Commodores - Easy Rush - La Villa Strangiato (An Exercise In Self-Indulgence) Judas Priest - Beyond the Realms of Death Quicksilver Messenger Service - the Fool Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven Since I got Brighton Rock in I'll now turn my attention to THE GREATEST!

Judging by how good he was with them on the albums he did produce those albums would have sounded and been arranged better.

I did chat very briefly with Nick R. in Nashville at the Geddy book signing. I thought about asking him the same question but was thinking that might make him a little uncomfortable. Or just make him mad! He might have said, "LOOK I'M BETTER THAN TERRY! OK???"

That's so cool! I hope you get an interview with him! :ebert:

Nice to see Ewan playing Obi without stupid Lucas dialogue for once.

Same here. He's a name I know but not a face. Well, he does look the same as he did in the Rush doc from 10 years ago

It's been 5 years since I wrote a utility/monitoring script on Linux for MySQL. echo "show full processlist\G" | mysql -h$host | grep -B 6 -A 1 Locked

Pretty damn cool I must say...

"...and though she's not feeling ill, there's a little yellow pill..."

Really????? the yodel voice crack-y marble mouthed version!!!!! That was made to piss ME off, lol Mick

It wasn't exactly a highlight reel of the R40 DVD, but sort of. Some of the shots were different, and some of the songs were from a different performance. It wasn't anything terribly exciting in terms of content, but personally, I really got a kick out of just being in a public space with a bunch of Rush people enjoying some big-screen Rush footage, and reminiscing with random strangers after about what a great experience it was to see Rush live and commiserating regarding missing them. Worth the $11.55 I paid for the ticket.

Same here. He's a name I know but not a face.

Yeah good eye on Rod’s part.

He looks genuinely pleased to pose for a pic with you.

Hey Rod, do you remember a few years back about a month before you moved to Toronto, I said that the possibility of you meeting Geddy (somewhat by chance) is actually pretty good due to the fact that you place yourself in high chance situations? Well, this Terry Brown meeting is exactly the kind of thing I was talking about. :) P.S. I know you met Geddy & Alex at the Grapes event but meeting Terry like this is pretty cool.

The interviews with the criminals and suspects are rivoting. I find the peripheral stuff tedious, though.

Maybe a movie deal is next! :)

The show must go on!!

Absolutely. I’m interested in seeing how Picard turns out - hopefully it’ll be a good bellweather for quality Sci Fi on television. And TV is a better place for Sci Fi isnt it... those stories need room to breathe and expand. It’s hard to make good Sci Fi as a 2hr profitable movie going experience.

Maybe this will bring you in off the ledge...

Interestingly, goose, I associate you with DEVO, because you frequently champion their work.

The cops raided the house down the block last night.

From what I've been reading on here and on the facebook Rush fan group(clockwork angels) there wasn't much in here that wasn't in the R40 dvd. I haven't seen that so it didn't bother me.

Who the hell would recommend she listen to this live version? Shame Rush fans! SHAME!

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard in Montreal 2 weeks from tonight. Really looking forward to seeing these maniacs. And Montreal is always fun to visit.
