ctte2112

I've heard all of these from my sister and all the idiots I have to pretend I like on Facebook.

Fountain of Lamneth. I'd be happy even if they only played No One At The Bridge.

Heavier? No. Melodic and proggier? Definitely!

If they could play Xanadu, Cygnus X-1 Book II (even just part of it), 2112, Jacob's Ladder, Natural Science, and La Villa Strangiato (with Alex's rants), I wouldn't care what else they played.

The most obvious: 2112.

Freewill Natural Science (second solo)

When I saw "Dave Matthews found stranded on the side of road" I thought it was going to say he was found dead...

YYZ Hemispheres (the other solo...)

Alex definitely was really singing when I went...

YYZ The Analog Kid

I like Marillion

I want to hear False Awakening. A prog epic about lucid dreaming, that could be interesting...

People that are a little too old for Beiber and just discovered that rock exists.

I like Dream Theater, but mostly just their proggier stuff like Octavarium.

Not a Glee fan, but RIP.

My favorites are Rush, Grateful Dead, and Shpongle. So no, I don't think it's an odd mix.

The Trees Anthem

My dad had all the Rush albums up to Presto so I had already heard 2112, Hemispheres, and Moving Pictures, but Counterparts was the first Rush CD I bought (found it at a yard sale). I was probably 13 and more into Guns n Roses, AC/DC, and Ozzy, so I loved Counterparts because it was heavier than the earlier stuff. I still think it's a great album and don't understand what some people hate about it.

Freewill The Trees

1. Every guitar you own looks like (or is a replacement for) one of Lerxst's guitars 2. You know who Lerxst is 3. You know where the name "Lerxst" came from 4. Even a One Direction fan says your too obsessed with Rush 5. You actually wish you could sing like Geddy 6. F#7add4 is your favorite guitar chord 7. You almost buy a Geddy Lee Jazz Bass and you don't even play the bass 8. Roll the Bones is the only rap song you like (I know, it's not all rap) 9. Most of your time is spent listening to, reading, playing, talking about, or thinking about Rush 10. You can describe your political opinions with lyrics

Here Again Cygnus X-1, Book II: Hemispheres

2112 Part IV: Presentation 2112 Part IV: Soliloquy

Writer stares with glassy eyes, defies the empty page…His beard is white, his face is lined and streaked with tears of rage. --(Losing It) For their hearts were so unclear, and the truth could not appear. Their spirits were divided into blinded hemispheres! --(Hemispheres)

I wish I knew they did this a few weeks ago! At least I have the signed picks.

Listen to Clockwork Angels, remember the CA tour, wait for the tour DVD, and wait 5 more years for the next album?
