The closest thing to a personalized or modded guitar I have is the two replicas I built (links are in my signature)

Cold Fire

 

Double Agent

Natural Science (Different Stages)

 

Cygnus X-1 & Drum Solo (R40)

The Gedster!

 

 

 

What Beatles riffs did Alex play at the end of The Trees on the R30 tour?

 

I ain't hearing it. Official release?

 

(sorry to interrupt, Edhunter. Here's the last question again:)

 

Rush was not played on the very first day MTV aired. What Rush producer WAS? (3 times)

 

Day Tripper

And I Feel Fine

 

What I mean is, though, I don't hear those riffs when I listen to the end of the Trees on R30. It sounds like Lifeson is just riffing on the thing from the middle of the song.

Wasn't on the live album. It was played on the other dates, though.

One of my favorite live versions of the trees.

Finally put some new strings on my Tele (.10's.)

 

Next up will be new pickups, probably some kind of Seymour Duncan Tele replacement combo or another.

 

Although I've really liked my Tele's pickups, so far, I know I need to change them. It just depends on how hot I want to go.

 

I put 10s on my Tele too (the guitar came with 9s), and I much prefer the 10s. More oomph, and they feel more stable under the fingers.

 

And I figure I'll replace the pickups too, at some point. Maybe the Texas Specials that Cyg is talking about, or Dimarzio Twang Kings.

 

Finally put new pickups on my Tele. After reading overwhelmingly positive reviews, I ordered the Keystone T-set, made by Bill Lawrence. NOW my Tele sounds like the Tele I've been imagining. Low output, but with the perfect balance of spank and balls, with a glassy smooth high end. And at $76 for the set, they're the best-kept secret in Tele pickups. Had to wait two months for them (they're made to order), but worth the wait.

 

$76 for the SET. How!?!?!?

Nowadays, pickup sets are really expensive. I got a set of Lace Sensors and they were $130. A Bill Lawrence L500 is $60 alone, or somewhere around $60.

It seemed like he used a standard tuning, but then again, that's only my theory.

here's one...

Something For Nothing?

Rush have played live in Rio twice.

True (I think...)

 

All of the Clockwork Angels String Ensemble members worked on Clockwork Angels

The Big Money

might be easy, might not.

Leave That Thing Alone

 

Double Agent

For I you could have done In The Mood

 

anyways, for J, I pick...

Jacob's Ladder

I think that though it appears Neil is done and doesn't want to go out on the road again, keep in mind he's gonna think that after the tour. I'm not 100 percent sure about Neil, but Alex and Ged said they were itching to write again and go into the studio. I think that if they do another album, they will tour. It's what they do for a living, what they love to do the most. It's hard to quit that. It seems like most musicians stop touring when either they physically cannot anymore, like David Lee Roth (which he is, but really shouldn't. His voice is gone), or if they won't be playing in front of big audiences. I might just be optimistic, but I think they have another 1 or 2 left in them.

Leave That Thing Alone

 

Face Up

Emotion Detector

 

Cut To The Chase

So this is my fixed R40 setlist:

 

The Anarchist

Headlong Flight

Carnies/BU2B

Far Cry

Ceiling Unlimited

Driven

Cut To The Chase

Roll The Bones/Face Up

Afterimage/Between The Wheels

Losing It

Subdivisions

 

Tom Sawyer

Red Barchetta/the Camera Eye

YYZ/Limelight

The Spirit Of Radio

Entre Nous/Natural science

Jacob's Ladder

Circumstances

Cygnus X-1 w/Drum Solo

Closer to The Heart

Xanadu

By-tor & The Snow Dog

Fly By Night

In The Mood

 

I would have put in Working Man as the ending, but I really did love when they used to end with In The Mood. Either one would be fine by me

I really love Between The Wheels, Subdivisions, and the entire second set

I also really love that the bass is much more upfront than on previous albums.

I got it on release day. It is so beautiful. Definitely worth more than $20. Trust me, it's as good if not better than Time Machine

I just listened to the Sirius XM broadcast of the album. Sadly, I only got to TSOR, but it sounds amazing. Definitely better than Clockwork Angels, and positively one of the best from them.

My hope is it will approach Different Stages level...now that would be amazing. :ebert:

It's definitely as good as Different Stages. Every song is mixed great, especially How It Is, Losing It, and Between The Wheels, to name a few. I'm really excited to get it.

Someone probably said it before, but Alex said in an interview (I think it was on August 7th, a few days after the end of the tour) that the tour definitely wasn't the end of the band. weather that means smaller tours or just records, I don't care. As long as they aren't done for good, I'm satisfied.

Yeah I have plenty of Panther Patrol Patches to give away if anyone wants one

I use a multi effects pedalboard so I don't really use any singular pedals. However, I really like the Boss CH-1 Super Chorus or the Boss CE-3 Chorus, Boss SD-1, and of course, the MXR Phase 90.
