  1. I think it's a pretty cool idea, Coventry. Simmer down.
  2. Yeah, Jacob's Ladder is a good song. But you're right, I have to be in the mood for it. It gets kind of repetitive in beginning, if you ask me.
  3. I can feel Goobs jumping in excitement already.
  4. Some think there are a few/most on this list that are mediocre to bad songs. And there's a vice-versa to that argument. I feel the soul and passion in every one of these songs is there. It's a different strokes for different folks. So they're not for nothing. In other words: No.
  5. Tom Noser Digital Nose The Nosearchist Nosework Angels Seven Noses of Gold Sounds like a buddy flick about a warrior and a coke fiend. How could I forget these: Nose Nose Zed In The Nose Finding My Nose Sounds like a buddy flick about a warrior and a coke fiend. How could I forget these: Nose Nose Zed In The Nose Finding My Nose What about: Nosathon Closer to the nose The nostrilmancer A passage to nosekok Omg..! Stoppit..! :P NosyCat
  6. Happy Birthday from a small, autistic fan in Grand Rapids to his biggest bass/singer idol in the world. Keep up the great work and keep being awesome for us! We appreciate it more than you'll ever know.

  8. He's beating the snot out of his drums too hard.
  9. Seriously, ALL of their instrumentals are awesome! I even looooove Limbo.
  10. The Anarchist is pretty simple, but yet catchy when it's just Alex playing before the lyrics kick off. I find my self air-guitarist to that bit a lot. And, of course, The Garden solo, La Villa, Xanadu, and Between the Wheels solo.
  11. I can appreciate the drumming, bass, and vocals. But the guitar is lacking so much that it's just a boring/stale album. It's missing that drive. That push. I like Neurotica because it's a catchy tune. Even You Bet Your Life. But I have to agree with goobs on this one. A catchy tune does not make it a great song. And this album is lacking in Witch Hunts. Only super worthwhile songs are Dreamline, Bravado, and Where's My Thing? I don't even think that's a fourth of the album.
  12. Seriously guys, calm down, he obviously didn't mean Backstreet Boys albums are better. Just a joke. But really, Victor isn't good.
  13. I know someone kind of mentioned it...but could someone post something saying all the references in the picture? My phone is slow, so it will take me forever to look. But I really love this picture.
  14. Time to mention a famous quote from a random person on a drummer forum..."Neil's left leg is a better drummer than I am." - Unknown
  15. He has groove. Tell them to look up the RnR HoF video for Crossroads while the tapping is going on. Geddy and Neil LAY THE GROOVE DOWN.
  16. This is useless to report them. I reported a "Kill Zimmerman" page the other day and Facebook said there's nothing wrong with the page name. Jeese...
  17. False. And the plot thickens... Dun dun duuuuun.
  18. Yeah, I don't want to sound terrible, but I really don't like it when he sings.
  19. I love Everyday Glory. Lyrics speak to me a lot.
  20. I think the song speaks to us now even more than it did at the time. Great music and, while "net boy and net girl" is uncomfortable, the song's lyrics have aged amazingly well to become far more relevant now than they were at the time. I've never understood the hate for T4E. Aged amazingly well? Edited in to add - aren't you always going on about hating the lyrics to Counterparts, and suddenly VIRTUALITY has great lyrics? Those are ten times more goofy than anything on CP! I'd say that the lyrics to Virtuality are approximately equally as goofy as most of Counterparts. Not even close. Counterparts lyrics are occasionally slightly awkward, and Neil is tackling subjects they never had before, but the messages of the songs are really great and they never bothered me. The lyrics to VIrtuality were a bit goofy at best when the song first came out, but it's aged horrendously, and if anything gets worse and worse with each passing year. I know it's a controversial method to demonstrate what I'm talking about, but here are the lyrics - might as well put it right out there. I was just going to select the most egregious parts of the song, but unfortunately the lyrics in the entire song are culpable. If you can read this without throwing up in your mouth a little, you truly have a stronger constitution than I. We can only hope Rush never sinks so low again. Like a shipwrecked mariner adrift on an unknown sea Clinging to the wreckage of the lost ship Fantasy I'm a castaway, stranded in a desolate land I can see the footprints in the virtual sand Net boy, net girl Send your signal 'round the world Let your fingers walk and talk And set you free Net boy, net girl Send your impulse 'round the world Put your message in a modem And throw it in the Cyber Sea Astronauts in the weightlessness of pixellated space Exchange graffiti with a disembodied race I can save the universe in a grain of sand I can hold the future in my virtual hand Let's dance tonight To a virtual song Press this key And you can play along Let's fly tonight On our virtual wings Press this key To see amazing things Like a pair of vagabonds who wave between two passing trains Or the glimpse of a woman's smile through a window in the rain I can smell her perfume I can taste her lips I can feel the voltage from her fingertips Net boy, net girl Send your heartbeat round the world http://sausandesigns.com/forum/images/smilies/puke.gif I'm sorry, but all you did here was prove that the lyrics to Virtuality are goofy, not that most of the ones on Counterparts aren't! Although, you're right, awkward is a better word for the lyrics on Counterparts than goofy, with a modifier of "extremely" rather than "slightly." "Painfully contrived" is a good phrase to describe both sets of lyrics, though And the thing is, we could similarly break down every song on CP, (and probably most other songs). The difference would be that we wouldn't look like such asses doing it. Come on, man, nothing more at ALL to say about my breakdown of the song above? I worked so hard on it! :P And there are VERY few Rush songs that lend themselves so easily to being torn apart like that lyrically. Virtuality is, if not at the very bottom of the barrel, certainly circling the drain. I swear, you two will never have the same opinion with Rush except them being awesome. lol
  21. I don't know if I'd like this band...Lol. It's basically Zeppelin but without Geddy (getting filled in by Jones) and Billy Joel.
  22. Good point! Maybe actually just flat-out BEING THERE would be fantastic! I would do anything to get to know those guys. Seem like awesome people.
  23. Isn't it just the same as watching it through this video? :D
  24. I have a Moving Pictures Tour T-Shirt a friend got me for my birthday. :) Still fits.
