Yeah thanks for the bummer there, sunshine.  LOL.

Got any more reality check nuggets for us aging X-ers?    :) 

Just be grey your own way...

Nailed it.

Yep

I have to believe if it would be lucrative,  they would go for it.

I do think the demand lessens after signals.

The sad fact is we are aging every day. I imagine more rush fans die every year than new fans are created.

Potentially polarizing take, but Jordan Rudess with Dream Theater.

 

He does just as much wankery as Petrucci but he brought an impressive sonic palette to the band. Moore was good and probably preferred by all the old school fans that gave up after Octavarium. Sherinian just never seemed like the right fit in terms of sound, but was an excellent performer.

To follow up on this. 

IMO the biggest upgrade DT has ever made was replacing Charlie with James. 

Another fond memory is the permanent waves chu- bop. A tiny version of the record cover with a vinyl record shaped bubble gum.

The old radio commercials post permanent waves. 

A voice says Rush in the , with it switching to ged singing concert hall!

When Michael McDonald joined the doobie brothers.

I guess I prefer the Moore era. But all 3 kick ass as players. Pretty sure Sheridan played on ACOS. Which to me is one of their best epics.

Saw Derek at with yngwie. Great show.

But Jordan is amazing too. I love all 3 LTE records. His solo work is great too.

I vastly prefer the Hillel era of the RHCP.

I like fruciante too. Saw the mothers milk tour with him.

I think most fans prefer the fruciante era

Perhaps the saddest. When Steve Gaines joined skynyrd for street survivors. 

Huge skynyrd fan. Everything pre crash is great. Still it seems the prevailing opinion is steve made them even better.

When Marty Friedman and Nick Menza joined megadeth.

I love Chris Poland and early megadeth but rust in peace was next level

Yes when Steve Howe joined.

And when Rick Wakeman joined

Catchy tune.

I always viewed the outfield as kind of a the police rip off? Imo

Can't recall their other hit

Seen them both. Dan is 2nd only to rush for me. Lots of my fave Dan songs feature

Larry Carlton and/or Michael McDonald .

They were the dans secret weapons....

Saw Larry in a small jazz club in the late 80's. Front row table. Best part was the steely Dan medley of solos. Of course he played KC.

Lol to those complaining about the covers.

Get a clue amigos

I can't think of a mainstream rock band that did covers better. And to the betterment of the career. 

Their version of dancing in the streets is the shzit....

Howe

Close to the edge is next level. Imo it alone exceeds Fripp output.

Glad I caught the CTS tour. Hell of a show. Imo their peak.

Very cool and thanks for sharing.

Funny that bass is listed last for geds duties?

The lemon twigs

Abba

Beach Boys

Bee gees

Giorgio moroder

Glad Mike is back where he belongs. The ablum is pretty great.

A few thoughts....

Interesting how the first LTE record brought in Jordan and the third LTE record brought Mike back into the fold.

The cover art kinda reminds me of the I &W cover.

Also Interesting is MP was not involved in the production.

Anyways glad these could reconcile. They are better together. In particular the synergy between Mike, John and Jordan.

Hey Gennys are fantastic for their price.

The genny screamers! Yeah, if ice cold they are ok.

The cream comes at a caloric cost. Surprisingly high in calories for a low alcohol beer

Reading Alex is keeping his fingers moving and ged saying he is getting his fingers back in shape twice in one paragraph makes me quite happy.......

Sunday.

Triumph is peaking. Better than the rest that weekend...

Pearl Swine would of made for a more interesting song than Earthshine in many ways

Have you heard of the Peace Race? In the 70's, Poles, Russians, Czechs and German had some epic battles. They also used second-hand West Europeans to make things interesting. The East Europeans were not allowed to take part in the big races like Tour de France, but the stock produced World champions and Olympic gold medal winners. 

Good recommendation. Read a little about the history and how it's become a big under 23 race. Lots of heavy hitters from the winners list. I saw your fave Kwiatkowski won in 2008 against Peter Sagan! Did not know he was so old. Also Remco evenpoel won it a few years and just won 2 gold medals in Paris. Very cool

I think I will eventually upgrade to discovery+ so I can watch races like this. 

thanks

Never met Ged Al or Neil, only talked with Pegi Ceconni a few times, their manager. Yh, i was the inspiration behind T4E and VT. Ask me anything about any song on those two two albums.  

 Net Boy?
