QUOTE (DBJetsman @ Sep 7 2012, 08:12 PM) That's the most bulls*** setlist I've ever seen. 4 songs from PoW (ONE OF THERE WORST ALBUMS EVER) and not even the best one (Marathon)? 2 songs from Signals and Moving Pictures: REALLY??? They are complete dumbasses and will never ever be the greatest band ever... My dad now doesn't even want to go anyone because the setlist is a giant pile of s*** lol

Debunked by likeclockwork in the other thread.

That's the best way to get updates since Rush's setlist isn't going to crash twitter like it probably will this site or any other Rush-specific site. The last opening nite we had here, we had over three hundred people in one thread, and hundreds more on the rest of the site at that same time, and we didn't crash. And that was when we first installed the new server -- that server has since been modded and bolstered and is much more robust now. If we even come close to crashing tonight I'll be extremely shocked. Good to know.

Here's the thing: I really like some of the stuff about the Watchmaker and Anarchist backstories. Just don't find Owen or any of the carnival people particularly interesting or compelling. If Neil and Kevin had done the book as a Silmarillion-type "companion to the Clockwork Angels universe" thing instead of a literal adaptation of the album, it might have worked better. As it is, this is one of the only true artistic misfires of their career. Shame, since CA is probably their best album since Power Windows.

So like, if I follow this, will I get set list updates in real time? I don't care about pics or videos.

Haven't really seen a lot of discussion of the actual book yet. I'm about halfway done with it and I can't say I'm all that impressed. It basically reads like fan fiction, and a lot of the references to Rush lyrics come across as really obvious and forced in.

Really, nothing? You'd think the dress rehearsals would have started by now.

Ugh, Nobody's Hero. But OMG the rest of that.

Neil's reading performance is fine I guess but I don't like the book that much so far.

Never mind, it's on iTunes. Problem solved.

I'd like to get a digital copy of the CA audiobook without purchasing the physical item from Amazon and waiting for it to ship. Is there anywhere I can legally buy a download of the file?

lol

Dropping Caravan and BU2B is a pretty dumb idea.

lol

We're all better off if people can't use "He doesn't have a ring" as a way to pretend LeBron isn't the best player in the universe. So there's that.

It's not exactly like you're opening and playing a sealed butcher cover copy of the Beatles' Yesterday and Today.

The Wreckers The Anarchist The Garden Headlong Flight Seven Cities of Gold Caravan Clockwork Angels Carnies BU2B Halo Effect BU2B2 Wish Them Well

Physical copy or bust.

If a physical copy ends up in my possession before the 12th, I'll listen.

I like how everyone hates S&A because they don't like Neil's take on politics and religion and now that he's going in the opposite direction people complain about that too.

There's no Feedback option in the poll.

swag out the game

lol

The U2 slander in this thread is unsettling.
