No five minute pop tunes here and to be sure you have to give the songs time to develop. It's worth the listen. Totally is. And you HAVE to give it time of course. They haven't recorded the *perfect* album yet but have got pretty close with Aenima and Lateralus. I liked 10,000 Days in parts but not so much overall as those two. I think Lateralus is their best. And Danny Carey is one HELLUVA drummer, I tend to agree with Neil on that. He's definitely amazing live. I was lucky to get amazing tickets and was up close to the stage. I positioned myself so that I basically watched Danny the entire time (apart from Danny and Maynard's occasional dress wearing, I'm not the biggest Tool fan anymore... I don't know, I lost interest a few years ago) and was really phenomenal. At the end he then threw his Gatorade (??) and I got splashed with it. Also, randomly, some guy beside me bent down midway through the concert and started shooting up.

QUOTE (YYZrocks @ Oct 19 2010, 10:07 PM) Welcome! I'm fairly new to this forum, too! I think you'll like it here! We tend to post some pretty naughty comments about the guys when new pictures are added. I hope you don't mind. I found this forum when I was exploring 1990s - present Rush and it really is a great place to hang out and to learn more about the band. LOL, no worries! It is turning out to be a great place to hang.

I volunteer doing hippotherapy and therapeutic riding and two of our kids with cerebral palsy had massive strides today. That just made my day and probably made the kids' (and parents') day as well.

QUOTE (YYZrocks @ Oct 19 2010, 09:46 PM) Here is a great article with some yummy pictures of young Geddy. Style Icon: Geddy Lee Not only is he hot, but whoever wrote this is bordering on comic genius. "Exhibit 2.1 High fashion eyewear (also featuring some interesting crotch issues) Hey...doesnt she work at American Apparel?" Nice and classy. Thanks for that! (and for all of those ladies who posted the earlier photos) I am going to add this video: .

MUSE. I will be the short girl jumping up and down singing at the top of my lungs to all of the songs. And knocking down all of the Twilight fans. Damn them for suddenly being fans of MUSE.

Thanks to both, The Maples and realomind! I appreciate the warm welcomes.

I'm gonna sound really dumb saying this, but even famous opera singers (with years of professional, super expensive training) start sounding like crap into their fifties and sixties (hence the later famed PBS specials ala Beverly Sills, God rest her soul). I can't blame him. I think he still sounds great.

QUOTE (Rushchick10 @ Oct 12 2010, 06:49 PM) So, after 9 months of messing around with this weird skin rash I develop on and off, the doctor is thinking that I have Lupus (even though my initial tests for the came back negative). I won't know anything for a while, because the blood work is just the first step to diagnosis. After the blood work comes consultations with rheumatologists, and possibly dermatologists, then maybe they will come to a general consensus. Anyways, I was wondering if anyone else here deals with Lupus or any other autoimmune disorders? I know that Lupus is very treatable, and I am otherwise incredibly healthy, so I am not "fearful," just apprehensive. Being diagnosed with a chronic disease that will effect me for the rest of my life at the ripe old age of 32 is not too appealing to me. I guess I will just deal with it as I need to. I don't have lupus, but I do have epilepsy (a chronic illness). Not fun and something I'm not very keen to talk about, but I do understand what it's like living with a life long chronic illness. However, try getting a second opinion. And also check out homeopathic doctors or at least more natural doctors. If you do have lupus, which I'm so sorry about, you don't want a doctor loading your system with unnecessary drugs that may poison your body. Anyhow, that maybe doesn't make much sense, but I do wish you the best of luck and hope you get the answer you're looking for (and hopefully it's not lupus). I wouldn't wish any chronic illness on anyone.

Ooo, I'll just pop over here... I've always dated/been attracted to older men (ah, when I was ten and attracted to "Remains of the Day" Anthony Hopkins. WTF). The problem I've encountered is that most men in reality don't really fit the bill (plus it doesn't help that I'm a smartass). Either way, this is a lovely place to chill and I finally replaced the wallpaper on my computer from a picture of my horse to a picture of Geddy... *giggles* I'll probably go back to ye olde mare though. I always do. But the change is quite nice. EDIT One of my favorite images. I grew up on SCTV and Bob and Doug McKenzie. Little did I know that Geddy did the vocals on Take Off! for their album... http://bobanddoug.com/pics/geddy_and_bob_and_doug.jpg

QUOTE (1 of the 7 @ Oct 18 2010, 11:50 PM) Welcome garbo! I too am new here, and while not exactly new to Rush, my major rediscovery of them was at my first show Sept. 2nd! Like waking up from the dead! And I too have fallen under Geddy's spell Carrie It is like waking up from the dead! I haven't felt this way about a band (or about music) in years. It's quite exhilarating.

thanks so much for the lovely welcomes! i feel so cozy already. and i promise not to borrow any clothing...

hello all, i am new to the boards, semi- new to rush (as stated above). i have been listening to rush for quite some time, although i have only all-too recently begun the only seemingly obvious endeavor to purchase albums, dvds, et al to add to my collection, and hopefully, see them live in concert. i am also, obviously since i am posting in here, a female (under the age of thirty, above the age of legality, meaning twenty-one). i am also nearly (nearly) canadian. that deserves a story unto itself, but alas, i cannot tell it here due to time. i am a geddy girl, finding him seemingly attractive and may add to some jealous rage that i do play upright bass (my main instruments are voice and violin), although i find neil's intellect appealing and alex's goofiness is indeed charming. otherwise, i look forward to chatting with you gals and hope to explore this place a bit more. i cannot promise to be particularly loquacious, seeing as i am not an avid internet user, however, i shall try. and if i have any questions, i shall be certain to drop them here. cheers.
