Quit the childish remarks and try disagreeing like an adult. You're right, Godeater's remarks about people like YOU being "bitches" were far more mature. Actually, I didn't see godeater's remarks until now. They're just as childish as yours. People like ME? You know nothing about me. I almost always stand at concerts, but I don't act like a childish prick while doing it. I don't call people "bitches" or "pussies". I show respect for the fans around me, and I always work it out with them. Maybe someday, when you grow up, you'll be able to work it out, too.

QUOTE (danielmclark @ May 30 2012, 03:21 PM)Being at a rock show or any other kind of show doesn't give you the right to ruin someone else's night. That's not an excuse. What you're describing is incredibly selfish. And that bit where you say that people should just stay home if they don't agree... that's adorable. Nowhere on the ticket is it written that the concert-goer has any right to block other people's view. Concert venues and their staffs allow fans to stand. They don't have to allow it. Standing and doing your thing is a privilege - not a right.

Whoever wrote needs to do gooder at English "maths"?? Mathematics is a singular noun, and in England, it's shortened to maths. The author, Ankita Mehta, is from England (International Business Times) . North American English shortens it to math. We Americans just can't get our English right.....

QUOTE (Godeater2112 @ May 30 2012, 09:26 AM)All I can counter that with is 'supposedly' a big allure of Rush is that level of individualism, being different, going against the masses, so maybe kudos on the guy dancing by himself like a dork. I was such a dork at the Vapor Trails Show that I separated my shoulder..... Learned my lesson, I did....

He was more advanced than me when he was six! If you're sixteen and in pre-calc, don't feel inferior...you're ahead of 99.9% of the kids out there. OK, so if I'm smarter than 99.9% of the population, but someone else is smarter than 99.99999%, should I feel humiliated?

I would love to go to the Chicago show, but I'll be in Kentucky for a cousin's wedding that weekend.......doesn't that figure......

The introductory video will be Clockwork Angels themed. I'd bet real money on it.

The security guard told me and my buddy to keep standing. Thank you for sharing that, but my question was about when security tells you to sit down, and if you'll do it or not.

I want nothing at all. I am content to wait for the official release date, so I can go buy the CD. I have absolutely NO problem with waiting. And I have absolutely NO understanding of why others can't wait, either.

QUOTE (Gedneil Alpeart @ May 28 2012, 10:01 AM) I dont think Rush would be as strong today as a band or even exist altogether, had they been more of a unidimensional band. Thankfully they have adapted over time and remained relevant contemporarily. If they had continued with 2112-type or Moving Pictures-type songs, they would have broken up years ago....just from the boredom and stagnation. That's what sets them and a few other bands apart from the rest. They grew up and achieved wisdom, while other bands didn't it. They still seek to find the "better Rush". They earn far more respect from fans and other musicians than all the other bands who just go thru the motions.

QUOTE (snowdog2112 @ May 28 2012, 10:17 AM)It's funny that I almost always see The Who called rock, hard rock, or classic rock, but never progressive rock. Hell, they practically invented what people think of as progressive rock. Tommy and Quadrophenia are two of the ultimate concept albums with interlinked musical themes, overtures, instrumentals, album-length stories, etc. The Who Sell Out was also a full concept album that came out in 1967, and A Quick One, While He's Away was the first attempt that I'm aware of to do a long piece of music essentially stitching together several different song ideas and that was in 1966. They invented everything we think of as being classic 70s prog and yet they're almost never listed with Pink Floyd, Genesis, Yes, etc. because they did other things, too. Just like Rush. The Who did concept stuff, instrumentals, hard rock, light rock, acoustic rock, pop rock, synth rock, basically everything so they weren't defined by any one style. That's exactly the way Rush has been. As with many bands, The Who was pigeon-holed. In their case, they were the rebels, the bad boys, the authority-defiant band of their generation.....and it was primarily the drum-smashing My Generation that got them pigeon-holed that way. No music that came afterwords, no matter how brilliant or progressive it was, changed the band's image.
