Much as I love Ged's work, Oakley's opening on the live version of Whipping Post is THE baddest ass bass riff of all time!

And furthermore, he's going to look like he did when he was drumming for Brand X! Hmmm..... I think if he tried that he might break a hip at this point.... :P Rush could tour with Phil and maybe transition YYZ into Groovy kind of love. NGFH. From there it might evolve into You Can't Hurry Love. Nothing worse than a white person covering Motown, IMHO. This from a native Detroiter.

I understand. So what will you do now that the world has ended and the dead have risen to eat living flesh? http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/images/news/201310/n_56278_1.jpg Fire up a doobie and put on Caress of Steel, of course. No. Fire up a doob and put on A Passage to Bangkok. :smoke:

Since it's on the DVR, The Quiet Man

Opium. Which, like cocaine and hashish, were legal patent medicines, sold at your friendly neighborhood apothecary. Unsure how Coleridge partook the opium (smoking, orally, injection, nasally)leading to his dream, but there you go. This was also the age of folks like Angelo Mariani (inventor of Vin Mariani, a tonic made from Bordeaux wine liberally laced with coca leaves) and Fitzhugh Ludlow (author of The Hasheesh Eater.) Damn you, Harry Anslinger!

Which Coleridge wrote upon waking up from an opium dream.

Yes you can. Hammersmith Odeon version-DS disc 3. Coupled with Fly by Night and In the Mood, all 3 kill. How did your meal turn out that you were marinating the chicken for? Very good, considering I cooked it on a flat grill inside. Karen's tabouli also rocked. Once I get a new outdoor gas grill, it'll be perfect-the open flame does wonders to this.

Lebatard is local here, does a p.m. drive show on 790 The Ticket, and also does columns for the Miami Herald​. He's all right. Never could stand Colin Cowturd-a nasty, offensive A-hole.

I was on CP long before I joined TRF in Feb of '13, after they had a major crash and multiple tries getting things back up. I post there, and I post here. So far I get along with both groups. Both boards have their own way to roll, and I hope it stays that way. My 2 cents.

Happy 70th B'day John. Then Play On!

Rushead 666 got this ball rolling with his previous threads, so let's go! Geddy Chris Squire John Entwhistle Stanley Clarke Anthony Jackson What say you?

Emerson Wakeman Lee Michaels Virgil Fox Robin Lumley (Brand X)

You know he was a heroin addict from about 1975 until 1980, right? Are you talking about before 1975? From the various things I've read, I believe he didn't kick heroin until about 1984. I never got involved with it, either, but early in my recovery, I was friends with some people who had been. How a person maintains as a performing musician when addicted to it is beyond my understanding. Same goes for all of the great jazz and blues players who had a history with it, going back to the 1950s- Charles Mingus, Billie Holiday, Ray Charles...and on and on. Mingus said "If God made anything better, He kept for himself. "

Al DiMeola Eric Johnson Michael Hedges Jeff Beck Hendrix Too many others to add.

Before I got into Neil and his over the top kits. I was hard into Carl Palmer. CP had some sick layouts, and he damn sure could use them (e.g. Drum Solo Con Brio-Karn Evil 9 1st Impression-WBMFttSTNELaGELP)

Film; Goldfinger Bond Girl: Solitaire (Jane Seymour) Bad Guy: Oddjob, no contest! Theme Song: Die Another Day

:smoke: Really loved the game back then, great memories. A few years ago I found a CD with a PC version of it, at a flea market, but it's not the same to play this on PC. You really need that damn rotary knob. Yep, the arcade version was THE BEST!

On a dark, stormy winter night, do you ever feel like those bears could come alive? Yes defintiely! Two of the bears, made by the same artist, actually have polyresin teeth (from the same resin used in crowns and dentures for human replacement teeth) set in a jaw that can be open or closed by prying apart or pressing the jaws together. I have visions.of Melissa and Patrick approachIng me with their slavering mouths, about to attack. Reminds me of the post on Facebook in comment to the Cecil the lion killing- a picture of 3 standing black bears with the caption,"WE'RE COMING FOR YOU, DENTIST!"

Thank you all for the happy wishes. My apologies for the late response, but I actually started celebrating Friday, and haven't completely stopped yet, having taken both Friday and today off from work. Ran around a bit, bought some clothes, hit two new brewpubs I hadn't yet been to and comsumed mass quantities, and just hung out. Will finish today with a late lunch somewhere and, of course more beer! Goose, you must be a mind reader with posting a pic of a teddybear cake. Karen and I were crazed teddybear collectors years ago. We have some 150 bears scattered throughout the house, including limited editions and one-offs. Again thanks friends, much love to you all. Cheers! :hail:

It's twfoer time! This was asked for: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRBPwWHvgvg Followed by his 1st hit:

How could I have forgotten that song! Didn't they have another hit too, or am I mistaken? You are correct, my dear. Silence is Golden This one, too!

Gene's "Greatest Hits" CD get lots of play in this house.

And not just for Rush but other songs/bands/albums/players. I can't remeber how many things I'v heard for the first time and said 'Yeah, OK.", then listened to again later and said "Damn, that's good!" Best example was changing stations on the car radio and hearing this guitar piece and saying " Yeah, OK". Then some time later a friend loans me a CD saying " you like hot guitar licks, you'll like this." Listened to it with my chin in my lap as Eric Johnson tore through "Ah Via Musicom" and "White Cliffs of Dover" "Holy S--t, that guy can play"-liked EJ'S tones ever since.
