Thunder Bay Rush

Dude! I can't tell if you are being sarcastic! Check out this video of Simon shredding on a tune called "Protocol." You can click on other Simon videos on the right that will also blow your mind. After watching "Protocol" just now there is now doubt that Simon blows Neil away. Like I said before however Neil will always be my number one. Phillips number 2. Weckl number 3. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3H0tm-Hs9qo Great song, the keyboards are great, specially without a keyboardist! :laughing guy: I just watched Protocol with Simon and I really didn't see anything that Neil couldn't do.

Are you guys still talking about people's assholes?

I know you live off of the grid... However I am right in the middle of the state that started it all... so I promise you that yes, it is real. http://www.pinkcheeks.com/ Also, you can already buy bleach for facial hair. Well, holy Jesus Christ... I've seen everything now. Question - Why does it matter what color your asshole is? Isn't that the part of your body where actual shit comes out? Even the most revealing of bikinis wouldn't show your asshole... Even if you walked around completely buck naked, you STILL wouldn't see your asshole. Unless, of course, you dropped your car keys and then you bent over (waaaaaaaaaaaaaay over) and your friend (a very, VERY good friend) used both of his or her hands and spread your buns waaaaay apart. Then, okay, I could see why one desire to have a "bleached asshole." Just wondering... (Off the gridness) And, I guess I could add quite frankly, that even though I haven't actually checked, I can assume that my asshole is brown. Why? Because shit comes out of it every day. Nearly every day... Maybe we should start a new thread, eh?????????????????????????????????

Is there an actual thing called anal bleaching? What the hell has happened to this world??????????????? Why would someone want their asshole to be white? Me thinks putting bleach down there would be a bad idea... Holy snappin' assholes, Batman... Next thing you know we'll be talking about bleaching nose hairs or some goddam thing. Yikes............................>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I just watched most of the DVD again, and yes, the solo in Hollow Years is outstanding. Petrucci MUST be the best rock guitarist alive. I don't know who is better... For years, it was all about Steve Howe, David Gilmour, Steve Hackett, Alan Holdsworth and of course Alex Lifeson. But, I don't think any of these guys could even compete with John Petrucci. I'm not a guitar player, so I really don't know what I'm talking about, but holy f**king f**k, that dude is something else.

I'm still a fairly new DT fan, so I'm not sure which song Hallow Years is. I'm going to watch the whole thing again this evening and I'll watch for it. Every sonf had a killer guitar solo, so if that helps me any... and a bass solo. And, a keyboard solo. And, a drum solo... "Wholly shit!" Now that I learned how to spell "wholly" shit. I still think my way looks cooler. HOLY SHIT!

I feel just terrible... I feel responsible for starting all of this...

A few weeks ago I was commenting on how awesome the Dream Theater, Score DVD is. Someone mentioned live in Budukon, so I got today. I just finished watching it and all I have to say is - Holy shit Holy shit Holy shit Holy shit Holy shit Holy shit Holy shit Holy shit Holy shit Holy shit (That`s ten... I`ll do one more just in case...) Holy shit... I CANNOT believe HOW good these guys are. I`ve never seen anythig like it. I don`t know how they play those songs without having a goddam chart in front of them at all times. If anyone out there likes Rush, Yes, Iron Maiden`and Pink Floyd, but has not yet listened to Dream Theater, do it. Trust me... I`m a Canadian and you can always trust us. Sort of...

Put on the headphones, crank it and listen to The Camera Eye. Crazy baby...

I guess if I was a huge LZ fan I would be excited. But, I'm not, so I'm not. Not sure how good Robert Plante would sound. When these old musicians finally pack 'er in? Jimmy will 117 and still hammering away on that Les Paul.

Thanks for the tip, but trust me, it's not my computer. About once every three months or so I bring it to the Future Shop and hand it over to the kid with the funny ears and Coke bottle bottom glasses. He does the updates and whatever the hell they do for me... checks it all over too. I'm just not a computer person. I actually can't believe that I'm even doing this right now...

Dude... nothing worse than losing a family member, dogs included. I remember having to put my best black lab down about ten years ago and it was brutal! Try to keep your spirits up and remember, you did the right thing. Your wife is a smart woman. It takes guts to make that type of decision, but it was the right one. Now, go play some more Rush and get ready for the tour to start up again again this spring! Cheers from Canada,

Why do you call them onions? They don't make people cry, do they? remember TBR lives off the grid....probably lacks running water...I'm sure they can get quite pungent. Spanish onions... and they only make people cry when they go swinging out of control and hit people in the chops... fat lips, bruises... all of it. It's actually kind of embarrassing on that "always-uncomfortable" first date.

I don't mind body hair too much... my ex GF had a really hairy back, but I was such a nice guy that I always shaved it for her in the shower. Man, I went through a lot of razor blades that year!

Why ask Alex or Tony to do it when there are a million Geddycorns that would volunteer? It's funny you mentioned that because I just got off the phone with Ray Danniels and I gave him your name and phone number. He'll be calling you in a few days... you'll be expected to be on tour for the duration - the pay is not that great, but you do get to eat with the boys and enjoy Frenchie's soup. You are NOT allowed to touch Neil's BMW however... Rehearsals begin in late March. Wear gloves. (Better grip apparently, according to Ray).

The original question is "Why do you shave your legs?" I don't, but I DO shave my onions once every few months or so... way too sweaty. Aw, you're welcome! :D

The Pepsi Center is a hockey arena, no bigger than many other arenas that Rush plays in. They'll probably out about 15,000 in there for that show. It's a Friday so it should be a good crowd. Yes, good point. And, for anyone even THINKING about going to see Rush in Hamilton on July 6, that's a Saturday. And, with no Toronto, Ottawa, Buffalo or Detroit shows this summer, you better get your tickets soon. It'll be sold out, guaranteed. It's a big arena (19,000 for full concert, so probably 15,000 for "end concert" seating), but with four major cities within a one - two hour drive, that goddam place will be packed.

Gangst' buddy... go back to bed and get some sleep... you're only dreaming. There is no Rush tour this summer. :laughing guy:

Where is the Thunder Bay leg fer Chrissakes? Oh, wait, that didn't make any sense. But, I'm surprised that they aren't going to South Amercia. Maybe they will in the fall. I'll bet Japan and Australia would like to see some dates too.

Okay, here's more proof of my "non-computerness." I had about a million "notifications" in my ... what ever it's called thing... I have been trying to figure out how to delete them for weeks now. And, low and behold... I got it! Just now, I finally figured out how to delete them... When it comes to computers - "I'm not awesome - I'm not excellent!" I rest my case. And, my brain.

Funny that you bring this up - earlier today I was watching a clip from a concert and heard a bit of 'Secret Touch', and I noticed this too... it does sound like a dip into falsetto during the "The way out is the way-ay-ay in" part, but I think this is the only part, and maybe not on the Vapor Trails album, though I'd have to listen to it again. And I'll say it again: I'm impressed that Geddy can reach vocal heights in his full chest voice that many others have to go into falsetto to reach. Can you imagine Rush with any other singer? :o And TBR - you flatter me! :) It makes me warm and fuzzy inside when someone says something nice about me! :) Weakly Criminal - thanks for the link! I'd come across that before, and it's good learning, for anyone interested in singing. You know, when Geddy finally hangs up his vocal chords, the music world is really going to lose an awesome vocalist. Nobody else sounds like him (though I'm sure someone could prove me wrong on this), and no one will replace his unique voice. Again, I think it's the nose! :) Oh, and there was some talk about having someone onstage squeeze Geddy's... onions. If a volunteer is needed, here I am! :) And TBR - you flatter me! :) It makes me warm and fuzzy inside when someone says something nice about me! :) Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww... I'll give you a huge fuzzy hug all the way from Ontario to BC!

Holy shit, so THAT'S why I trip over my testicles every now and then... (Not EVERY GODDAM DAY just every now and then.) :P Just try not to sit on them. :laughing guy: I've never sat on "them" but I did sit on the edge of just one of them once... and I got up really fast. Didn't you screeeeech when that happened? Hey, maybe that's what Geddy needs! Think about it...''spinning, whirling, still descending (sits on saggy balls) LIKE A SPIRAL SEA UNENDING!!!!''. I'll bet that would work!!!!!

There's no way that post was inappropriate for this thread. And 73 would make it clear if he modified anyone's post. Your text somehow has the strike through tags around the text. And there is no indication that anyone edited it. Wonder how that happened? I agree, but that was the only explanation that I could think of in the absence of TBR doing a select all and pressing the strikethrough button . Yes, 73 is much more explicit (from what I've seen) and the post really doesn't contain any invective. The hospital comment could lead somewhere but I've can't recall a post I've seen that was edited by an admin because of where it *might* lead. More than likely, it was just an accidental keystroke combination by TBR. Oh, there's no doubt I did something weird... I don't even know what half the buttons or keys do on this thing that I'm typing on... at least once a day I'll hit something and then... uh oh. What the hell did I just do? The screen goes all weird, or something gets locked, deleted or frozen... Jesus... sometimes I'll go to use the ? key and a very weird little E with an accent over it appears and I can't get rid of it. The only way I can, is by shutting down my computer. I will never work for Apple or Micro Soft.

I'm a big EARLY Genesis fan, so for me, the nod goes to Tony. But, I do love the Floyd too, but I don't find it quite as progressive. I really like the odd time signitures, etc, and Floyd doesn't write as much as Genesis in that area. I would LOVE to see Hackett and Banks on the same stage again. I wish some of these rich rockers would shove their personal feelings and egos in their ass and do something for the fans for once. I mean, really, FOR THE FANS.
