Ghost of a Rider

It looks like your daughter's trying to rescue your son. What exactly was going on when this shot was taken? Did you just announce bath time?

She only cried like two or three times while we were there over the course of three days. I couldn't get over how easygoing she was.

Here's one of my niece. I tried to include an AVI video of her blowing a kiss for the first time but I couldn't make it work. Sorry it's so big. I don't know how to shrink it either. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v712/ghostofarider1/SUNP0017.jpg

QUOTE (barney_rebel @ Jun 24 2005, 12:24 PM) "rebel without a conscience, martyr without a cause" Love it when Neil takes well known sayings and makes a pun out of it. I think it's neat too when he does that. My favorite twist on an old saying is "Let us not go gently to the endless winter night." There are so many good passages, it's hard to choose. But if you put a gun to my head my favorite would have to be: You can do a lot in a lifetime If you don't burn out too fast You can make the most of the distance First you need endurance First you've got to last

QUOTE (sfuentes @ Apr 7 2005, 10:14 PM) Wow, nice post. I appreciate the time and effort you put into that. Thanks alot. It was work but it's a labor of love.

Some other special Rush moments for me: 2112 - * Discovery, where he's picking at the guitar and slowly draws a joyful chord out of it. (I think it's a chord, I don't know guitar playing). * The opening to The oracle. It's so melodic and ethereal, I get chills. AFTK - In Closer To The Heart where Geddy says "Whoa Whoa!" right before the "You can be the captain.." verse. Permanent Waves - In Natural Science where right after Geddy says "...our causes can see their effects.", the snappy drum fill Neil does there. Hemisperes - The guitar solo in The Trees. Also in the same solo where Neil punctuates it with gourds or whatever they are. Moving Pictures - In Red Barchetta right after Geddy says "...to where my white haired uncle waits.", where the song really picks up the pace and the drum fills Neil does. (Do you see a pattern here? Can anyone tell I'm a fan of Neil's and of drumming?) * The drumming Neil does before each section in The Camera Eye. Signals - At the end of Digital Man where Geddy makes it sound like he's bored and says "Because he happens to be a...digital...man GUP - *The guitar solo in Kid Gloves and the drumming Neil does in it. * The guitar solo in Between The Wheels. * The guitar solo in Afterimage. I'd swear the guitar is weeping. Power Windows - At the beginning of The Big Money right after Geddy says "...big money make no sound." that rip up the guitar fret that Alex does. It sounds like WOW! * In Middletown Dreams where Geddy lets out an anguished cry right after the verse: "Another day as drab as today, is more than a man can endure." * The drumming in Mystic Rhythms, in certain parts it sounds like it's coming from the other side of reality. Hold Your Fire - * The outro solo in Open Secrets. * At the end of Prime Mover where the words just kind of soar and never end; they just fade away: "Anything CAAAaaa..." This one I think is my all time favorite Rush moment. Can you see the gooseflesh on my arm? * The opening drum sequence in High Water. ASOH - The guitar solo in Witch Hunt. * The party-like ending they tacked on to Closer To The Heart. I love the way it builds and builds and explodes into that machine gun drumming Neil does. Presto - * In Superconductor where at the end of the song where Geddy says "That's entertainment." You can hear the sarcasm in his voice. * In Hand Over Fist where Geddy says "I feel my spirit resist, but I open up my fist. Lay hand over hand over..hand over fist..." * The guitar solo in Available Light. It sounds so plaintive I wanna cry. Roll The Bones - The outro solo to You Bet Your Life. Test For Echo - The drum fill that comes in right after the guitar solo and right before Geddy starts singing again. Vapor Trails -* The in-your-face-ending to Ghost Rider. Every time I hear it I wanna shout "F*ck Yea!" * The drumming at the end of Secret Touch. * That little playful riff at the end of Out Of The Cradle gets me every time. Well that's about it until I think of some others, and I'm sure I will. An hour from now I'm gonna slap my forehead and say "Why didn't you include that one!?"

For some reason the little five note keyboard thing right after the guitar solo starts in "Turn The Page" always gets my attention, (at least I think it's a keyboard). There are so many cool moments like that in Rush songs. I guess that's why we love them.

Wrong answer but darn funny. I have to go to work tomorrow for two weeks so ya'll will have to continue without me. Someone will guess it sooner or later.

Ghost of a Rider has a new name!!! GOAR!!!! And I thought I was good at giving people names... I think I prefer Ghost of a Rider to GOAR. It sounds like a Vulcan ritual.

It didn't occur to me to go to the movie thread. I already went there and I don't know the answer to the last one so I'm just biding my time.

I guess noone's biting. Oh well.

This game is simple, quote a line from a movie and whoever gets it right quotes another and so on. Here's mine: "I desperately want to make love to a schoolboy."

My absolute favorite is Power Windows and Marathon is my all time favorite song. I was introduced to Rush through Moving Pictures and that's an awesome album too but PW pulled my heartstrings a little more.
