They are more patient people than me for sure dealing with all the asinine morons creating shit-wipe topics like this. I would have "Darwin-ed" at least five people the past month, and damned good riddance. To the mods! so let me get this straight... a discussion about the NEW ALBUM and the sound of Geddy's voice on it, is a "shit-wipe topic" to you? What would you rather be discussing, how much you fantasize about being gang banged and golden showered by Neil Geddy and Alex? Basically, it's the dickish tone of the OP. The douchebaggery is what annoys people. Try showing some respect next time.

The interwebs, where you can anonymously mouth off and never worry about losing some teeth. (your type couldn't get away with that in High School) Geddy sings the way he aways sang. RUSH fans dig it.

Alas, there are sad people in this world who desperately need attention. And their parents taught them that negative attention is better than no attention. On the interwebs, we call them trolls. All that you can do is Wish Them Well.

QUOTE (CantStopThinkingBig @ Jun 24 2012, 12:03 PM) Wasn't Rush accused in the early 80s of being a right-wing band? Mullets and all...

QUOTE (Terrapin @ Jun 23 2012, 08:33 PM)Apologies to everybody out there who are pretending to like this thing, but the songwriting, vocal melodies, song structures, arrangements are an example of a band that are completely devoid of any ideas as regards a musical future... You forgot something. "IMO...." -- it means "in my opinion" What you said is just your opinion. Nothing more. When you state your OPINION with an emphatic tone, you come off like a total asshole troll. Is that you you want to be seen or do you care?

QUOTE (circumstantial tree @ Jun 23 2012, 09:50 AM) You won't see real "change" while there's a Democrat or Republican in office. Third party system is necessary for any real change. Why change when you can remain comfortable with what you think you know? Well said. Too many Americans are programmed to be loyal to only one brand. And when that brand goes bad or lets them down, the brand just rebrands and calls themselves Tea Party or Blue Dogs. Throughout U.S. history, the brands (parties) have switched political polarity. Republicans used to be more progressive party that wanted the federal government to have the ultimate power over the states, while the Southern Dems used to back segregation and wanted their states to be free from having to obey the liberal SCOTUS. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss...

QUOTE (snowdogged @ Jun 23 2012, 11:03 AM) Based on Beavis and Butthead watching the Stick it Out video on their show and their comments I would say that they don't really like Rush. The don't like anybody except AC/DC and Metallica, and they even mock them.

QUOTE (gestet2112 @ Jun 23 2012, 12:21 PM) Jim Ladd interviews Neal Peart on Sirius Radio about Rush's new album Clockwork Angels. *The songs from Clockwork Angels played during the interview have been removed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kiBKxPlUmg8 Since the Anarchist, the villain, is a 'freedom extremist' -- these are Neil's own words, we can flush the ridiculous far-rightist notions presented in another thread. In interview talks about romanticizing the world where a dictator (the watchmaker) provides for every ones needs.

I'm leaning toward The Trees Xanadu 2112 with a new string arrangement.

QUOTE (Gompers @ Jun 18 2012, 12:48 PM) Alright! Rivendell! Lessons! Tears! Those r Rush songs? Or Rash?

QUOTE (sdhonda @ Jun 18 2012, 03:04 PM) QUOTE (Todem @ Jun 14 2012, 02:30 PM) BTW everyone. You can edit your set-list whenever you like up till the day before opening night. So.....don't feel like it is chisled in stone once you post it. We have time to tweak etc. I know I will tweak mine as well. By the by: what if there are leaks? Either the band posting detailed info ahead of time or (although this would only really happen close to opening night) a detailed rehearsal leaked? Those rehearsals that have leaked were nearly spot on. There's already been leaks.

Golden Earring. I never bothered watching the rest.

QUOTE (Godeater2112 @ Jun 18 2012, 04:49 PM) I for one LOVE this, now can't wait to see how they will use it! http://www.billboard.com/news/rush-bringin...007356152.story 2112 for sure. Subdivisions. Please God not SoR.

QUOTE (ScottT67 @ Jun 15 2012, 09:22 AM) As I bask in the euphoric light of new / unknown Rush material, and it metamorphoses into known Rush material, I would bet my Hostess Donettes that they tour with an Orchestra. That being said, is there any doubt that the Manhattan Project will be in he set list! What other Rush songs with strings will they put in the setlist, with a touring orchestra? Anyone??? Anyone??? I am really savoring each bite of this album. They are in fact still evolving - still improving! Truly amazing! We are all so fortunate to be influenced by these guys! NP sorta let it slip out. I bet 2112 will get the treatment.

Great interview, thanks for posting.

QUOTE (WCFIELDS @ Jun 17 2012, 06:52 PM)QUOTE (-D-RocK- @ Jun 17 2012, 05:00 PM) The OP needs to clean out his/her ears or get some decent speakers. CA sounds amazing. End of discussion. Before you slam people.....our resident Audio experts have some opinions in another thread about the mix/production......it may sound good to you, but others have expressed some issues with it.. Real audio experts are too busy working to post on fan forums. Resident 'experts' use the anonymous internet to validate their lives and feel important. The album rocks. Period. It's exactly how RUSH wanted it, and to question RUSH's judgement, you better be in YES or GENESIS or FLOYD. You better having something more than "I own some software and I know how to use it." BFD, dude. Big Farking Deal. Your opinion, educated or otherwise is just an opinion, personal taste, a subjective POV. Owning software and equipment does not put you on the same level as RUSH and therefore questioning the 'mix' is just people trying to sound important. CA is their best work since Signals. IMO. the guitar rocks. the bass rocks. and the drums are amazing. IMO
