QUOTE (youngoldman @ May 19 2011, 01:04 PM) I think they do it for the large part of their audience that don't get to see them live. They have fans all over the world and they're only playing 50-60 shows a tour, so you're lucky to see them when they do tour. I like to see them live and get the video release, too. Is that overkill? Not for me, personally... Would have been good if they DID release a live dvd after each tour because those of us over here haven't all had the chance to see each tour

QUOTE (edgejedi @ May 19 2011, 11:46 AM) If it were a competition of how many shows people had seen Im sure sig bars would go on forever... I get ya but it can also seem like a competition to see who's seen most gigs. Anyone who has enough money and holiday time can go to tons of gigs and follow the band but not all are able to do so because of work constraints/family committments etc. Just seems strange to me ... but then, I'm weird makes the sigs huge too

Dont feel sorry for us ... TC may be hidden a fair bit but when he's on view .... JACKPOT!!!

More tickets for those of us who just want to hear the music and maybe luck out and get good seats. But tickets aren't hard to come by anyway. Sheffield was half-full on monday. Probably because the setlist is shit, tickets are too expensive, Neil's drumkit is a pile of wank compared to what it used to be, Geddy's roots need retouching - and his new hairdye is a woeful shade, NEP is just such a miserable looking prick, the merchandise is waaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too expensive, the lights aren't as good as they used to be, Alex's head is too shiny, they used too may samples, the tempos are still too slow etc. etc. Oh, I was front row too they dont move around enough, they move around too much, they get up in the morning, the sleep late sometimes, they eat bad food, spell things wrong, they go to bed late, sometimes they fall asleep on the bus, Ged holds his bass a lil different, sometimes Ged holds his bass the same way he did years ago, they dont even tune their own guitars anymore, they prob dont recycle enough, whats with the motorcycle- neil didnt need to do that in 1978, they still prob laugh at cartoons, i think they drink pepsi- not coke, why doesnt geddy use his real name...whats he trying to hide, Alex definetly changes guitars too much, Neil switches grip on certain songs, stop playing 2112 its really old now, they only played part of 2112-if yer gonna do it dont cheat us out of the Oracle like All The Worlds A Stage, why didnt they play all of farewell to kings, I like that record better than MP, why didnt they play all of permanent waves, I like that album better then MP, how dare they write hemispheres and not realize in 30 something years he cant sing it anymore, they tune down songs so they can play songs that i would be really pissed if they didnt play at all, the show was at night, there were other people there WTF?, they like playing different stuff,they like playing some of the same stuff they always play that a lot of other people like more than me, they write some stuff that sounds a lil like their old stuff, they write some stuff that sounds really different than the song before it on the record, they played stuff out of order, they never say hello when I walk by they bus, real musicians would hire other people to play all the stuff they can trigger themselves, Neil doesnt use zildian anymore, Alex definitely smiles too much, Neil doesnt smile enough damn him, geddy sings too much during certain songs, and they probably drink water too those f*cks...

QUOTE (owlman @ May 19 2011, 09:15 AM) Great review from the guardian, don't think the guy even went to tell the truth! Always irritates me how the media seems to enjoy slagging off rush but not other bands of the same generation. Maybe their musical knowledge don't stretch that far. BTW how many were at the Glasgow gig? Glasgow was pretty full

Im curious .. why do people put how many times they've seen the band in their sig?

Nice to see him do this but the band dont give a shit about it ... neither do I

people are voting AGAINST By Tor??? Really?? No question for me - Time Stand Still .. makes me want to vomit

QUOTE (tangy @ May 18 2011, 02:16 AM) they need to get their shit together and release every single show......... I'm sure there would be a market for it

I especially love it when he goes commando and doesn't wear any underwear. He does??? In JEANS???? *wince* Foxxi, I'd love copies. What's the best way to get them? Email, Facebook....? OMG I want to sit in the front row so damn bad! Still no word from my friend in Vancouver. He's trying but apparently the movie and music biz don't cross paths much. Even if all he could get us is front row seats, I'd be happy. Cross your fingers for me.... Front row right in front of the man all night was beyond AWESOME. Lots of eye contact ... stared each other down at one point for a few seconds until he had to get back to his effects board... lol Man is gorgeous and a FLIRT but lots of fun too. Watching him play from THAT close was an honour and privilege. Tery - Once i've done this saturdays gig, I'll PM you them in here and you can save them

QUOTE (greyfriar @ May 19 2011, 05:54 AM) I will be there!!! Always a special show when Rush play the Ahoy Saw them at the Ahoy in November '81. Have to say I wasn't that impressed with the place, although the drugs squad with sniffer dogs at the doors was interesting

If you wanted a choir then you should have come to the SECC last weekend - original and best

QUOTE (metaldad @ May 18 2011, 02:52 PM) It's cheaper on the backstage website Costs us an arm AND a bloody cork leg to get stuff from the Backstage Club over here. I went for the cheaper shipping once - was still waiting for it to be delivered 9 weeks later. Would have to agree - hoodies etc are totally overpriced

QUOTE (Sir Lerxst @ May 16 2011, 02:45 PM) Did anyone else notice that Alex kept on looking up at the lighting rig during the first set? I also noticed that during the second set it got a little bit low - perhaps 3 or 4 foot above the guys' heads. Brilliant rig though. yeah I was right in front of him so I noticed ... to be honest, he didn't look worried at all, think he was just appreciating it, as we all were. I took some pics of it in action. It was amazing

Second half is monumentally awesome ... the last 4 in the first half are face melters. @Sarge - Glasgow Choir were on the best form, not just for Closer but for La Villa, Freewill and 2112 also.

And I like what I see. You have a wonderful eye for Lerxst's hawtness, Foxxi. Well done. That's not T.C. It's T.C.'s two buddies making that bulge. TC was pretty obvious too in other pics

I hope they never play the whole of HYF - that would be one long pee break for me

My Mother said to me "....but they're all of HIM!" I tried to explain that I was at the barrier in front of him all night ... but then I though nah, cut the BS and just admitted that i wanted that many of him!

Godeater Scottishdood Me Bob, the man who came to Dublin, got bazookad on Buckfast, and missed the Dublin show! He deserves a medal or a street named after him, or some undiscovered Amazonian dwarf tree frog. hahahaha look at the lads ... great pic of you lot!

Tery I can send unmarked ones to you so you can ogle in private without anything distracting you

Hatchet was saying Glasgow was better than Dublin too
