Aerosmith -- Aerosmith

Been in heavy rotation since it was released. I was skeptical of the pre-release hype, about it being the best thing since Tattoo You, and the most focused since Some Girls….I mean I like a lot of what they released from Emotional Rescue (ok that one took a while to grow on me, but it has aged remarkably well), Undercover, Dirty Work (not much, but a song or two), Steel Wheels, Voodoo Lounge, Bridges to Babylon, A Bigger Bang and Blue and Lonesome…..but darn it, after playing it a few times a week since it was released I have to agree. It is their most focused album since Some Girls. No real filler, no half baked songs…all complete honed songs. Much better than I expected…and more hooks than a tackle box Easily a top two album of the year for me.

Sure, and he's an exhibitionist on top of it. He can have that healthy sex life all he wants, just doesn't have to share it with the world

Just got the book for Christmas from hubby. Now I can look at the pictures as I continue to listen to the audio. Really enjoying listening to Ged's voice.

Don't be silly. How can you find someone 'Not Esther Williams'.

^^^ As progressive as ChatGTP usuallt is, it's interesting how its idea of a "sexy" male is decidedly unevolved.

I grew up watching The Brothers. Great memories. RIP

Dick was apparently content to be the straight man in their gigs. It's a thankless job....

Boil that cabbage and turn that hoecake. Rest well, Tom.

Greatest fake performance ever!

I'm looking forward to 10,000 words on French wine in the unabridged version.

The Killers- Rebel Diamonds This is a killer best of. I don't play compilations often, but The Killers are a band who have killer (pun intended) singles so why not? The new material fits in nicely.

Maybe not, but they aren't Christmas movies.

Love Sense: the Revolutionary New Science of Romantic Relationships by Susan M. Johnson (the Finnish translation). Truly a game changer.

(The) Power and the Glory - Gentle Giant

Jethro Tull

That's the version that I want to read.

The Jacob's Ladder thing wasn't intended as a joke, he has acknowledged that he had to be reminded that they had played it previously. And that doesn't surprise me at all. Again, they don't catalog these things the same way that the fans do. Heck, in the Rio documentary Alex says they hadn't played By-Tor since probably 1978 or so even though it was played for a few tours after that and is in the ESL video. But there's no way he would know that unless someone told him. This isn't a Rush thing, ALL bands are like this.

Nostradamus - Judas Priest

Exactly. And that shouldn’t be surprising, I’ve heard countless artists not even remember which songs on are which albums and such. Most of them haven’t heard their own songs since they recorded them unless they’re live staples. Casual fans seem to have this expectation that you could randomly bump into Geddy and Alex on the street and hand them instruments and say “Play Different Strings for me” and they could do it on the spot. Most artists live in the moment, the fans know more about what they played on various tours and such than they do. I’ll bet Geddy hasn’t listened to ESL since it was mastered and I seriously doubt he knows what songs are on it. And again, this isn’t a criticism, that’s the case with almost all bands.

Merzlikins caged Wilson really good last night. Love it!

I think it can probably be explained by the fact that the guys in the band have a very different relationship to their music than fans do. Once the excitement of the early years wore off (which I imagine was more or less gone by the time they got to recording AFTK or Hemispheres) it was probably just a job to them. A fun job and a satisfying one, but just a job. Once a tour was over, it wasn't worth thinking about. I doubt Ged has spent any time at all thinking about what songs they played on old tours, except when planning a new tour, or when he sat down to write his book.

Yeah, you’re right, the Stewart one is abridged. I was wrong, I actually didn’t buy Stewart’s version for that reason. I ended up getting the Tim Curry version. I still haven’t listened, though.

YES
