That One Guy

Rush Update: I can't stop listening to HYF and Presto. Caress of Steel will come soon

"I wouldn't do anything like that now, I won't even take a sip of beer before a show. Back in tha day me and Neil would toke up before shows." Yeah, not sure how well their current 3 hour shows would go with them high. A lot goes on haha. I personally wonder how alex keeps track of 3 hours of guitar notes to hit.

I can dig it. Particularly, i'd dig it more if i heard it on my local radio!

Nothin for us Utah/Colorado/Idaho peoples... Closest is Vegas, and that was a fun show last year. Maybe i'll hit that again.

What in the f**k?!

I'd like to point out that Rush is the highlight of Rolling Stone's front page of the website. Gettin' recognized.

So I've decided that changes today. I'm gonna check the songs I'm missing off the laundry list. I have never listened to: A couple songs from Presto Hold Your Fire, except for three songs Caress Of Steel (someone's gonna kill me for that one) Most of Fly By Night Time to get listening! No killing necessary, but please get yourself a nice set of headphones and crank up Caress of Steel. It is a mind bender. I'll get on that soon. But today i'm far too busy driving in that new song. Maybe if i'm lucky local radio will play it tomorrow.

Yay new song C: Neil's drumming has gotten more aggressive. Hopefully the other tracks have similar levels of Rush-level intensity. Only nearly two months to go.

Not alone at all. S&A is a great sounding album, with plenty of solid performances. Some of the subject matter gets to people, I think. Me included. Neil sure can sometimes. Agreed. It's the album that got me into Rush in the first place.

I wouldn't really be able to speculate the "best track" unless i had heard 30sec previews of all the songs or something like that. However everyone's guessing BU2B or Caravan are not going to be the highlight of the album. The longer songs will hopefully impress. Otherwise, the final album will be a sham

Colorado or SLC? Boise? *Waits hopefully

QUOTE (oldphilly @ Apr 16 2012, 05:32 PM) yeah right an orchestra...haha.Do you folks have any idea how expensive it would be to tour with an an entire orchestra? The last rock band that tried this was ELP and they lost millions. These guys made ~ 100 grand a piece last tour... Money wouldn't be a problem if they wanted to bring some lesser ideas to life. I hope they don't.

"Ignore everything after 1987 except an entire album, these songs, these songs and those songs." I enjoy "bothering" with the post '82 music. If i was only interested in 8 years of Rush's 38 year catalog, I probably wouldn't be interested enough in the band to frequent forums about them

This week is gonna be busy for me, so Thursday will come soon! It's nice that the full version will be around soon as well. And rumor has it tour announcement is coming this week.

That's five minutes of my life I'll never get back.... No way Axl wrote that. He just doesn't strike me as smart enough to string together anything much more complex than "f*ck" and "you". Dictated it, perhaps, but sat down and wrote it? Not sure if he's capable of 11th grade levels of essay-writing.

I don't find the wait hard.... There's other things keeping my life busy. Waiting for the concert when you've already bought the tickets, however, is a hard wait for me.

These threads should start getting temporary bans. It stopped being funny 14 fake threads ago...........

Let's get some moar cars!

Thanks for my new desktop background!

They were simply select shows to record. If Rush does that...I'm fine with it. Like I said, just not MY shows! Wha, Wha Wha, not my show, Wha, Wha, Wha, I want Rush as a 3 piece band, Wha, Wha, Wha, its going to sound weak, Wha, Wha, Wha,! Give me a break! Allow to do what ever they want, before they say F@ck you all and retire! Who knows you might just like it! Dontcare If this plan were to come to fruition, I would watch clips of the first show of the tour BEFORE buying tickets..
