  1. I would love a Rush themed Guitar Hero-esque game, but considering that Guitar hero made a big tribute to 2112 in Warriors of Rock, and Rock Band is full of rush songs to download, I can't see it happening (unless Rush commissions them to do it. They are fans, but its still a long shot)
  2. Have you guys not heard? Rock Band 4 is coming out, and there is a website where you can suggest songs you want to see in the game. I would suggest we flood them with requests. I have already put votes in for The Big Money, Dreamline, and Force Ten.
  3. Weird. I know some more modern CD's can have some playback issues in older players that are put in cars, but I have never heard of anything like that. For me, the only two problems I have had is that a bunch of Blank discs I bought for mixes would replace the bass (not the guitar, but the thump-thump kinda stuff) with clicks in certain cars, and I own one CD that was published by a record company that otherwise has no flaws with their CDs, yet this one particular one refuses to play in my car, and my car alone. By The Way, CDs are not dead. So long as someone wants a package that contains: Physical Artwork, good quality music, car playback, and an ease of sharing the media, CD's are the best format. Vinyl covers the first two categories, and regular online distribution can cover the last two, but the CD gets all four.
  4. You call it progress, I call it degradation. It's not just the electronics -- their music became more electronic with Black Holes and Revelations and they did good on that album. Psycho and Dead Inside simply suck :huh:l Progress, is a term that means move along, their quality of music shifted in one way or another. I was not personally pointing at one or another opinion, just saying that they were changing, and getting bashed for doing so. I personally hate when people expect musicians to produce an album with the same sound and style as the last one. Personally, yes they did very well with black holes. They went a little too far with The Resistance (trying to hard to be epic, that they forgot to give their songs strong bones to work off of), but I quite enjoyed the second law (still some filler tracks, but very cohesive). With Psycho and Dead Inside, though, I don't find anything spectacular there, it makes me optimistic about what else will be on the album.
  5. Easy prank if you have a garage. Just move a family member's car out of it, and park it down the street so they think its stolen. Be sure to be awake when they try to get going to work, so you can quickly tell them where it is if they are running late.
  6. Fantastic Band. Even in the Quietest Moments is a great album
  7. I can safely say, that the oldest shirt I have (2010) that still fits, has survived countless washes, and rush concerts with only one tiny hole (easily sew-able if I cared enough) in one of the arm pit seams. That shirt is a power windows shirt, and the graphic after all these years looks practically the same. I only wear it to concerts now though, because I am always getting new shirts, so I have kind of a rotation going on, not in a fashion sense, but I keep finding funny shirts I like.
  8. In the mood actually would be a pretty awesome ending. Toss in some Confetti, and a little jam session at the end, that will work.
  9. Sadly, Working man will probably be one of them, which I was never a big deal for me. My hope is The Spirit Of Radio for the final encore, and for the main set closer, probably Tom Sawyer. I'm hoping the encore is this Dreamline Marathon The Spirit Of Radio
  10. I don't mind it. I don't think it was that special since for the most part the songs are not changed around that much. I get its release (due to being in tandem with R30), but I would much rather hear them give the Rush treatment to music that they have enjoyed over the years that have influenced their sound, rather than the music they grew up with. I know Geddy is a fan of Radiohead. I would be fascinated to hear them cover them.
  11. 60s Yes 70s Rush (I don't really listen to 70s and before that much 80s They Might Be Giants Oingo Boingo (Technically they were a theatre troop in the 70s, but their rock debut album was in 81) Weird Al The Buggles R.E.M 90s Daft Punk Beck Green Day The Smashing Pumpkins Queens Of The Stone Age 00s Animal Collective (Panda Bear included as a solo artist) Owl City Muse Phoenix Paramore 10s Avey Tare's Slasher Flicks Sharon Van Etten (technically 09) Lindsey Stirling Courtney Barnett Well that's the best I can do for the moment. At least I can say I have a decently sized 10s section.
  12. Clockwork Angels was the best. Great set list of deep cuts, and good new album tracks, not to mention good presentation. The same reasoning is behind why S&A is the worst, with odd deep cuts, bad new album tracks, and a lackluster stage presentation
  13. Yeah, that clip of her band playing Cygnus x-1 always gives me some faith in her. Not to mention, her first hit, I Kissed a Girl, has a chorus that sounds exactly like a riff from Hemispheres.
  14. For most here this is a gross statement. Its PW Great(Classic) for Permanent Waves and PW Great(Musicianship) for Power Windows
  15. :laughing guy: I think Permanent Waves and Power Windows is also acceptable... ;) 1980 or 1985 will work for some of us Fixed for us purists... Re-Fixed for us Gregorian Calendar Purists ;)
  16. She (when her music is not utter garbage), is just tasteless enough. I do admit I enjoy Last Friday Night, beyond that though...No thanks. I suppose there can always be far worse of course.
  17. Glad to see another Rush fan has accepted our new robot overlords. Yes, Daft Punk is an amazing duo of writers, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Off their Random Access Memories album which you are picking apart right now, I find the two best tracks to be the Minimalist and Maximalist tracks, Doing it Right and Touch. The simplicity, yet well calculated rhythms are amazing, and Panda Bear's (My favorite artist) vocals are the cherry on top. Touch meanwhile plays all the right cards in instrumentation and arrangement. I also seriously recommend their live album, Alive 2007, it is just astounding how they mix their tracks, and its in my top five albums of all time for sure.
  18. Yeesh, everyone is a downer here. I get where people are coming from on the critique of the most recent songs from drones, but I feel like a lot of people are criticising their two most recent albums based on the added electronics. I see this mirroring Rush quite a bit here. They are moving on with their song writing. They wrote what they wanted on those first four albums, and they have progressed to what they want to write about now. Regardless of what I may think of their most recent singles (alright, but not any favorites yet) I applaud them for their strife at progress. Side note, I feel like they are shooting for the billboard top 40 with Dead Inside, which would explain why its the album opener, despite its weak attempts at being introductory.
  19. Anyone want to help me get the video in the post. I tried both the address from the bar, and from the share tab of youtube, but it won't show up.
  20. I should tell everyone, the music on this track IS NOT dubstep. It definitely has traces of EDM, but there is no dubstep here. I feel like everyone is starting to use that word to mean electronic music they don't like.
  21. Discuss I love how everyone thought with Psycho that they were returning to their old sound, while this song feels right at home with The Second Law. I think its alright, but not a great album opener.
  22. I would be pissed if they played The Body Electric. I feel really safe that they wont be playing that this tour though.
  23. I would say something from the likes of Counterparts, maybe Cold Fire or Double Agent. I have a good feeling that we will be treated well in the 70s and 80s department, so my emotions that will come from rarities like that will be of joy with a big smile, but 90s deep cuts will leave my eyes wide and mouth agape for a second before cheering onward.
  24. I think The Big Money and Distant Early Warning are better contenders for this list considering that while New World man was dropped after three tours, only to be brought back one more time, while The Big Money and Distant Early warning have rotated in and out of tours fairly consistently. I am not saying that New World Man is out of the question for the tour (I think it would be good to hear). I just don't think its a tour given.
