  1. This incredibly random and I'm hoping there'll be some Genesis fans here who also play keyboard, but does anybody know the notes of the Tony Banks ARP solo after the second round of "Follow on!"? I've looked everywhere but nothing! Any help or resources would be ver much appreciated! Thank you in advance!
  2. From Body Parts: Quark: You weren't always a tailor. Garak: No you're right, I used to be a gardener. So if you need anything weeding, you let me know.
  3. This one is also great from Improbable Cause. It's not just the lines that are great but Andrew Robinson's performance, he injects every line with a nuance. Sisko: Someone tried to kill you, Garak. Whoever it was may try again, so if I were you, I would give this matter some serious thought. Garak: Well, let me see. I mean, there's the Nausicaan whose wedding suit I misplaced; and the Yridian I owe money to; and of course, there's always Major Kira. Dr. Bashir: This is serious, Garak. Garak: I'm being serious. I don't think she likes me. Odo: She doesn't. But if she wanted you dead, you would be. Garak: You do have a point.
  4. Thought I'd start this fun little topic seen as Garak has so many good lines in the show. My current favourite is from "Way of the Warrior"- (Klingon says something to Odo in Klingon assuming they won't understand the insult) Garak: Actually I don't believe Constable Odo has a mother. (Klingon looks shocked that Garak knows Klingon. They walk off) Odo: I didn't know you spoke Klingon. Garak: Oh, You'd be surprised at the things you can learn when you're doing alterations. Would love to know other peoples favourite lines.
  5. It was okay. There was some good stuff but there was some equally dumb stuff. I was disappointed considering that this was the same creative teams that brought us Watchmen, Batman Begins, the Dark Knight and the Dark Knight Rises. The tone an morals were all over the place as well. My least favourite of the movies I've seen this summer.
  6. I like to know what's being played at any gig. I don't like going to concerts and the band plays songs I don't know, because I know that 3 months down the line I'll listen to those songs and end up really liking them and being annoyed that I missed out on knowing those songs at the time. So looking at the Setlist allows me to become familiar with songs I might not have listened to. For example I had never given the synth era much attention, I have to admit I'd always been a synth hater without actually ever listening to the songs very much. But when I heard they were playing a lot of synth era songs on this tour, I was a bit annoyed, heck I even made an account to voice my opinions on here. But eventually I bought the synth era albums and not only got into the ones they were playing but ones that they weren't. Between the Wheels, Emotion Detector, the Enemy Within, Afterimage, all of them, I love them all now! I'd like to think now that I know the entire discography that I might not look at the Setlist if they ever do another tour, but I know that I'll crumble and look at it anyway.
  7. Man I'd love to be in a Rush tribute band but that's never going to happen...
  8. Just seen the Who for the very first time, doing Quadrophenia in full plus other hits! f***ing epic man! Awesome show!
  9. I get your point, but that is precisely why I like helping people out. Most of the stuff can be found online somewhere, be it on YouTube or other websites. But there's just sone stuff that can't be found. Emotion Detector, Red Sector A and Chemistry are good examples, I learnt those by ear. While it was gratifying to learn it myself it would have been nice if there were online resources to help me ou because I'm not a musician and can't listen t something and figure I out. Most of he time I just get lucky. That's why I help out because I like to pass on the knowledge I have gained so other people can have the help I only wished of having. A So I don't profess to know the exact way you play them, I am only putting out there how I play them. I mean I know shone of the chords for the Aalog Kid is wrong and I do need to work on that.
  10. I thought it was! I'll add you on YouTube. You actually helped me learn all the parts to Ton Sawyer o thank you!
  11. This is how I play Red Sector A however it's incomplete as you need an arpeggiated bass line for the into. Verse Am G Bdim G Am Am x4 Am G Am G Bdim G Am Am Chorus Am Em F G Am Em F After the solo Am G Bdim G Am Am Am Am Am G Bdim G Am Am Am Am Am Am Am Am Am Am
  12. I might not have time to write them all out so here are some useful websites and videos. Distant Early Warning- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVX3Ua9686E Territories- Rush Keybaord Tab Website- http://www.cygnusproductions.com/rtp/keys/keys.asp Middletown Dreams- Mystic Rhythms (Synth bass)- http://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/r/rush/mystic_rhythms_btab.htm Tom Saywer- The Big Money- Also something I've found that's good is that a lot of websites have synth parts for Rush songs tabbed out for guitar, so if you get a tuner play the note or chord you can then transpose that to keybaord. Emotion Detector Intro (Notes) G C F G D x2 C F G D x4 F G A G F D E G F D C D F G A G F D E G F G D F G A G F D E G F A G D C D F G A G F D E G F After first verse F G A G F D E G F D C D F G A G F D E G F E D E F G Chorus (Chords) C C C C F G Dm Am G x 3 C F G Dm Am G End of the guitar solo (Notes) F G A G F D E G F D C D F G A G F D E G F G D F G A G F D E G F A G D C D F G A G F D E G F E D E F G End chorus (Chords) C C C C D D D D x 2 C C C C F G Dm Am G C C C C F G Dm x 2 C C C C D D D D C F G Dm Am G C C C C Hope this helps. Sorry I can't write them all out for you as some can be found on other websites apart from a few, suchas Emotion Detector which I learnt by ear apart from the chorus parts.
  13. I know Distant Early Warning, apart from the arpeggiated bits under the chorus but I do something else for that. I know Some of the synth chords for Red Sector A and I know all of Tom Saywer.
  14. I agree that Battlestar Galactica (not the 70's version, obviously :P ) transcends the genre. I think of it as THE science-fiction show for people who don't like science-fiction. Exactly! I've been trying to tell people how not nerdy it is. I'm a massive science fiction fan and was expecting it to be in the same vain as Star Trek, Farscape and other shows like that. It wasn't but it was still awesome. I describe it as TopGun in space with robots. except 500 times better than top gun! :P it's really the dramatic aspects of the story and the characters/psychology/relationships that take it well beyond the genre. Great to see RDM's BSG get some love. It is the second highest ranked sci-fi on the list, edged by ST:TOS. To me, RDM's BSG is the greatest sci-fi show ever written and I am a big sci-fi fan. I had to watch from the BSG mini-series to get the complete picture, but once I did, I was absolutely enthralled. Everyone I've shown it to (I own the complete series) has loved it regardless of whether they are sci-fi fans or not. The writing and acting are simply superb and it transcends the genre. http://www.thescifiworld.net/img/smilies/galactica/cylon/cylon002.gif Of course, my opinion of the show isn't evident from my signature ... or location ... or member title ... ;) my fave sci-fi show is still star trek TNG, but battlestar is way up there. It was a strange feeling for me when BSG displaced TNG. I'm still a big TNG fan too (and TOS). I have a friend whose watching Voyager now (again) and it's funny to listen to him talk about watching the show jump the shark - just like a traffic accident. I remember the exact same feeling. Kind of a wtf sort of feeling as I softly cursed Berman's and Braga's names under my breath... i loved voyager. in fact, i loved every star trek series. DS9 was easily the weakest one for me, and even that was pretty great. Personally I thiought DS9 was the strongest. For me its DS9, TOS, TNG, VOY, ENT.
