Ha!!! one of the greatest and most watchable flicks for musicians...Did you enjoy best in show? I was amazed that it was an improvised effort!!! Thx for the line! made me smile!

QUOTE (GeddyLeeFender @ Jun 4 2012, 12:21 PM) As stated before...do we really need these fake stories now that the album has been leaked? C'mon man...gotta bug up the colon? You know the story is going to be a parody that's not mean spirited and for RUSH fans!!! Live a little...well wait a minute you are just a little over 20 years old...you know everything right? BtW...went to college in Dallas...great town except you can't see the stars at night!

QUOTE (Tombstone Mountain @ Jun 3 2012, 11:07 AM) Clockwork Angels is the answer to many a prayer for the band to return to the thing that made them so awesome in the first place. I look at this album as a gift to the faithful who have yearned for a return to the cinematic and epic. the new stuff is amazingly put together...varied...smooth....crunching....soaring!!!!

QUOTE (bruggy66 @ Jun 4 2012, 09:29 AM) My only issue with Geddy's vocals of late is that I don't think that his voice is well suited for more than one harmony track. When they start with the "Geddy choir" stuff, I really don't care for it. As far as his voice now compared to the old days. I think that he's doing fine. Let's face it, as people age, their voices change, especially "throat singers" like most rock vocalists are. I'm sure that the 3 hour shows also contribute to the fatigue during concerts. If you listen to properly trained singers (Darryl Hall comes to mind), most of them sound great even into old age, but Geddy does not fall into that category. Personally, I think that they still put on a hell of a show, and I always look forward to their new releases, even if they are not my favorite Rush albums. I'll be seeing them on this tour, and I'm sure they will be great as usual! damn skippy...good observation from an unexpected reference to Mr. Hall...who is still kickin it? have you seen him unplugged with just john? I think it was from A & E a year or two ago...awesome!!!!

QUOTE (drbirdsong @ Jun 3 2012, 02:08 PM) Let's all give Geddy a hug and wish him another great tour (especially in St. Louis and Atlanta). Hell Yeah...his voice is crankin' on this effort so far...live he will do the best he can...and that's all we could ever ask of anyone!!!

QUOTE (jesse2112 @ Jun 3 2012, 10:21 PM) I laughed Laughter is such a soothing balm! More coming out soon!

It's really cool Neil gets this kind of recognition outside of the music world...He is truly a new world man....boppa da boppa da booujzhe!!!!!

QUOTE (losingit2k @ Jun 3 2012, 10:29 PM) Dude, go write ahead and do what you do. It s funny, specially the Clockwork Angels in its entirety. That was brilliant and really enjoyed readcing it. Very creative and entertaining. I know it was BS from the get go, so I wasn't put off like most hear. Just keep doing what you do! People need to lighten up! Ok Francis! thanks...really appreciate the feedback--will do!!!

I've been watching this site for years before I made my first posting. what an interesting amalgum of personalities and backgrounds! I never thought that just a few postings of humor, and what i consider thoughtful insights, would net such responses, emails, and attempts to reach me. So, with what I've heard and seen in terms of questions about who I am and my origins--I'll give these responses: 1) Yes, I am a HUUUUGEEEE RUSH fan. 2) I don't write for The Onion, however I am a screenwriter and actively write for a cable tv show and a couple on-line magazines. I've also written children's books. 3) I would write for the Onion if they would pay me enough 4) the reason I put stuff on this forum is that I think hardcore RUSH fans think the way i do, explore the band the way I have, and appreciate every stinking time they get in the studio or go on the road. Clockwork Angels is the answer to many a prayer for the band to return to the thing that made them so awesome in the first place. I look at this album as a gift to the faithful who have yearned for a return to the cinematic and epic. Funny a young RUSH fan would lead the way, returning them to explore such lofty realms.
