GangsterOnBoats

Why does Alex look like he's ten years older than he was last time I saw him in April 2011

Although when I lived back in New Jersey I went to Princeton Record Exchange (one of the world's most famous record shops) and some in Pennsylvania, I haven't been able to find any particularly good shops for vinyl near me in coastal Carolina. However, there is a 2nd and Charles store that is close by which sometimes has some good findings.

I really wish the remaining Floyd would do SOMETHING together, but without Rick, it would be hard and disappointing if they didn't get a good replacement.

Freeze Totem

A few of us did our own versions of a couple Python sketches "Silly Job Interview" and "Ministry of Silly Walks". You can watch it here. But pardon the awful acting

Wash the salt into the earth

I think that Corgan's idea of being more progressive and complex is great for a "modern" band, however, his hopes are cut short by sticking to too simple and obvious and overused chord progressions.

Rik Emmet is perhaps one of the best classical and electric guitar players out there, up there with Hackett, Howe, and Steve Morse (who are all underneath holdsworth However, I am not a fan of the drummer's vocals and some of it is a bit too blues rocky for my tastes. I think if they did more songs like blinding light show I'd enjoy their music more

I think the gimmick is so overused I couldn't bear it at all. However, if they did a 4-D tech show, I would be impressed

Dog Years Alien Shore

I think the first set of feedback songs were really the early Rush influences, considering it was mostly blues-rock songs. However, it would be fantastic to hear them do a covers album of some progressive influences!

I can only imagine what the lyrics would be like Probably something about gangsters and boats

Well, it doesn't seem that way to me! When I listen to it on my itunes, Hemispheres comes right after (alphabetically organized) and it makes my favorite album by Rush sound like the production of RTB!

I was really hoping to go see it, but I think the prices are a bit outrageous. Then again, so many musicians, so much work goes into it...

They are just trying to keep the hype down just in case it ends up bombing. Not saying that it will, but how hyped was S & A? I personally like much of that album, but I think many were disappointed.

From listening to headlong flight, there is an obvious difference in production sound between the first two singles and the most recent one, so I would guess it might have been remixed if not all together re-recorded.

The simplistic, almost child like quality. The arrows - is this a nod to S&A? Does it mean they don't know what direction they are going in? The way the black just pops off the stark, white background. All those numbers... Hugh Syme never ceases to amaze. And the fact that he used Comic Sans, too, so you know it's professional I think he used Comic Sans to portray the "back to their roots" quality. I have no clue what Hugh Syme means by that but who cares!

Man, its like a complete different band when they are in front of a camera, they seem smart (as opposed to the stereotypes). Although Alex looks like he just woke up from a dirt nap

And do those include the the regular tickets, not just first 15 rows?

QUOTE (GeddyLeefan2112 @ May 5 2012, 11:58 PM) As soon as I saw Clockwork Angles I knew exactly that it was going to be this. Hahaha am I getting too predictable now?

Rush is totally a heavy metal band now.

Of the pop /rock category I would have to say "don't give up" by Peter Gabriel, and the rest of the eighties crap I could live without. However, the fusion artists like holdsworth and Berlin really hit their strides in the eighties

It's not to say I dislike snakes and arrows but I think the next album will be better. The main problem with s and a was the fact that it went on too long with verse chorus verse chorus structure. If the next album has a song as good as or better than armor and sword I will be content

That's EPIC, but must have taken a long time!

I have been wondering the same thing, but I heard that VIP tickets are Tuesday. No clue about presale for the rest of the seats, however.
