  1. YYNot has their own flavor too.

    True.

     

    But they have the stigma of being known as a cover band before they released their own music.

     

    They do? There's no single route to legitimacy as an artist. YYNOT has arrived at a place where they can legitimately be called a stellar originals band who are worthy of the public's attention, imo. Their debut album is comprised of all original songs and their 2nd album will presumably be all original songs again. Why should it matter if they got there via a tribute to Rush?

     

    Billy basically writes hits with a Rush flavor. That's actually quite a feat. Rush could hardly do that. In Greta's case, it's more like demonic possession. They haven't earned my respect at all and might actually be the scammers in this scenario because they don't write and perform with a flavor of Led Zeppelin. They write and perform as Led Zeppelin.

     

    Nobody respects cover bands.

     

    Do tribute acts ask for the respect originals bands get? Seems to me, they exist to celebrate the work of the band they love and most of them will never make a dime out of it or receive any sort of fame for it. They're really just fans.

  2. There are tribute acts out there that go all out like The Musical Box. I know Zeppelin and Floyd have tribute bands like that who tour nationally and charge good money for tickets. And good for them. They learned how to play another bands songs and copy all their mannerisms and looks and scam people into paying for it.

     

    It's not a scam to sell nostalgia. Ticket buyers know what they're coming to see when they go to these things.

  3. John Cleese was originally supposed to perform the rap portion of RtB.

     

    Too bad that didn’t happen.

     

    I think the song would’ve worked even better with the rap part removed completely.

     

    They shouldn't have let him read the lyrics before he signed the contract.

  4. How can you get a very large group of Rush fans to exit a building?

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Play Roll The Bones.

     

    In my case it will inspire me to take a piss break. If I timed it right I could empty the bladder, get another beer, and be back in my seat just as the next song started.

     

    Rush should have changed the chorus at the shows to "You drank the beer! The time is here! Take a piss."

     

    I put a pic up on CP after the MSG show in 2015. It was me in the restroom during RTB. To prove the point. ;) Some of you may recall that.

     

    Greparoo did not f**k around when it came to RTB. I'd plan my beer and piss runs around where that song was in the setlist over the years.

     

    It's action, reaction.

  6. Is he still active on the other forum?

     

    MiTA HaSn'T POstEd tO CoUnteRParTs in ManY YEArS.

     

    Got an email from him after some of the other users helped me out and sent some contact info. He told me the same thing that he isn’t really active on the forums anymore.

     

    His user name looks like a ransom note.
