Unattractive Truth

Fanboys is a very good film. You got Rush and Star Wars. What more do you want?

Rush is mentioned/heard in two episodes of Futurama. The first time, Wooden Bender is leading a group of obsolete robots to New New York. He says "We'll soon stage an attack on technology worthy of being chronicled in an anthem by Rush." The other time is when Fry is recruited to fight the Space Invaders. He says "Alright! It's Saturday night, I have no date, a two-litre bottle of Shasta and my all-Rush mix tape. Let's rock!". Then Tom Sawyer starts playing. http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d155/RamsATW/fry_futurama.jpg

Do you have a link? QUOTE (substancewithoutstyle @ Oct 1 2012, 07:24 AM)QUOTE (Tony R @ Oct 1 2012, 03:39 AM)Pompous dismissal of contrary views as "trolling" is just that, pompous.

I just pre-ordered my copy. Can't wait!

If anyone watches Nathan Fillion's current show, Castle, they throw in a Firefly reference every now and again. Once was a Halloween episode where he dressed up as a "space cowboy" In another episode, he speaks Chinese.

I think you can guess the answer from my signature image. Browncoats Forever!

I was curious too, so I checked my show (San Jose). Best available was Section 202. Upper bowl, 2/3 of the way back.

QUOTE (rayrushray @ Sep 12 2012, 08:20 AM)Dear Forum Some new rules. 1) Only post glowing remarks for the band's show, our low self esteem doesn't allow for any true debate. 2)Expect to be called a hater, a troll and a ruffian when you express your opinion. 3) Please pet the band profusely on the head and pat them on the back, even though the the same effort was not extended to you. 4)You will be judged on how many posts you had previously created. A person with less than ten posts on this forum couldn't possibly be a true Rush fan. 5) Please don't tell the band or mention on the board the fact that the mid-eighties was a mostly forgetful era. 6) Don't tell the fans that this was the most compliant and conforming period for the band, when they were trying on some levels....to match the beat of the third world man. 7) If the band chooses an operatic approach, please sit quietly on your chair, looking through your power window, and be appreciative of the chance to pay for your tickets. 8) Thank Rush at all times for their efforts. 9) Go along to get along. 10)Most Importantly, please pay your credit card bill on time. Truthfully, I don't begrudge you your opinion. I don't share it, but so what? It has no effect on me whatsoever. Think whatever you like about the tour. As for your melodrama here in this thread, however.... http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d155/RamsATW/the-hst-peace-thread-22732.jpg

I didn't even bother to pretend. I was on the board all opening night.

TicketsNow is an official Ticketmaster site, isn't it? I'm pretty sure Ticketmaster verifies and guarantees the tickets on that site. You should be fine. StubHub is also safe and has great customer service. Enjoy the show!

Except for Bravado and YYZ, all of them. Especially Grand Designs, Manhattan Project, Territories, and Analog Kid.

Jacobs Ladder, Xanadu, Hemispheres, 2112 complete, By Tor, Natural Science, A Farewell to Kings, La Villa Strangiato, need I go on?? Yes please go on! For a "hardcore" Rush fan (80's version), this setlist is Heaven. It's all relative.

QUOTE (daveyt @ Sep 7 2012, 10:25 PM) SPOILERS haha alex had the worst trainwreck i ever heard on the tom sawyer solo. he wrecked it so bad it was awesome and he knew it and laughed it off real good. alex looks real good btw. i could not believe they played the body electric. i jumped out of my body with surprise! and grand designs was a special treat. i love power windows. that and territories was the best part of the show. no middletown dreams tho! that would have made my nite. i loved the opening track. that was a sweet opener. i was holding out for jacobs ladder towards the end and i couldn't believe they didn't play it! geddy seemed conservative yet his face was very into it. his voice sounded VERY GOOD. he had a new bass for a few songs: a fender that was a sweet mint green in color. waaay too many songs in a row from the new album. just like the S & A tour but longer. i stopped watching rush and had my eyes fixed on that hot violin player: she was smokin' hot and she was really having fun. keep your eyes out for her. there were about 6 violin players jamming out. i thought the light show was a little disappointing but my brother loved watching howard and his sidekick trying to figure it out at times ;] saw some familiar faces: iluvgeddy who looked smokin' hot, bostonrush517, rushgal, chipper was rocking out (from the other boards). the videos were cool and funny. alex has an interesting speaker cabinet set up: no speakers...just some ufo dish things that had neat effects throughout the show. sweet placement of the drum solo in where's my thing it reminded me of exit stage left's solo "early in the show" and dude had to plug in the band after a malfunction before a song i was like WTF with the tech difficulties already just some thoughts from what stuck with me so far... Great report. Thanks! BostonRush517..was she "completed wasted"??

I am LOVING this setlist. Then again, I'm an 80's Guy.... http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d155/RamsATW/Awesome-80s-Guy-futurama-9351485-465-348.gif
