Freeze-Frame

Trust me. TRF is a lot better than other forums I've been on. For instance, at least there isn't any college drop outs who are heterophobic and still pretend to be 8 years old. (Don't ask me how I got there. I'm gone from that godawful place thankfully)

All I did was run away from my friend who was trying to punch me in the face as an April Fools joke. I swear, I was on defcon 5 all day.

The problem is that my friend doesn't know that much about music. The best he can do is play a few simple songs on his Spanish guitar and read tab. He pretends that he knows what defines a style or genre, but he doesn't really. I even admit to not knowing some things about musical style, but at least I know the basics. If I showed him the comparison between those two songs, he'll probably still won't have a clue.

We're both 16

So I was talking to my friend, and he doesn't believe that modern music originated from the blues. I tried to reason with him, but he still doesn't believe. When he gave the arguemnt that Katy Perry (excuse me for saying her name) isn't a product of the blue's legacy, I told him, "first came the blues, then jazz, then rock and roll, then hard rock, then pop, then Katy Perry." He still doesn't believe. Then again, he says he hates Rush and listens to weird Japanese crap, so his opinion shouldn't matter.

I'm a huge band geek. I play trumpet. Our ego makes everyone hate us, but us trumpet players unite together for a single cause: to destroy all woodwinds.

Manhattan Project?

Hell, I just like everything by Rush. I don't know why, but that's just me. As for VT, the original sounds better to me. Just the echo on the vocals on the remix just kill it for me.

f**k charity man, that shit's mine *gets in car and burns out of the driveway*

This is a really special occasion, yet I'm not hearing any news about it. Anyone have any clue?

I know it sounds weird, but I actually like Geddy's Voice as it is. I wouldn't be against it, but I wouldn't enjoy it either. If he has trouble singing, then he should consider doing it.

This solo just gets me in the mood every time. I also love YYZ, La Villa Strangiato, and even Limbo. I just love the instrumentals!

They do use a lot of synth, I agree. But Hold Your Fire is probably my all time favorite album. You can actually hear the more guitar oriented sound coming back in HYF. Just the sound of it is calm yet upbeat. It's my kinda music. PoW and GUP are amazing too. Then again, is there a Rush album that isn't amazing?

Well, tomorrow is the big day! Look on the bright side, I get to laugh at everyone else in my class.

Please, please...have someone capture the moment and post it here for the rest of us to see. :) My teacher is actually filming us, but it's not going to be on YouTube and/or going to send us the video. The only people who are actually going to watch it are the second semester kids.

I was going to suggest another instrumental but Leave that thing alone isn't any better That was actually my second choice.

This has gotten pretty awkward pretty fast.

It's already set in stone. I picked YYZ because it's an instrumental and I don't think it would be nice to have singing with dancing. I don't know that's just my opinion.

Anyone think that this is bad? For my final exam for my gym class, our teacher has told us to make a dance and perform it to a song. I chose YYZ because it was the only song I could think of. I already made up 1 quarter of the dance, and it's stupid. I don't know, I am not at all a dancer. Anyway, what are your thoughts about this?

A huge snow storm hit us here in Detroit. About 10 inches of snow and about -20 degrees fahrenheit with windchill. My school was closed for 3 days now. Hopefully it's not closed or any longer because I got finals next week and I need to get my brain working again from winter break.

I think that it's a nice story, even though it's short. I just love listening to the lyrics and imagining the story in my head like a movie. And yes... the riffs are AMAZING!!!!

Yah. It's been a LOOOOOOOONG time. They have to bring them back.

I sometimes make myself laugh. I just like making stupid quotes. Here's my personal favorite: "Thou shall honor thy neighbor… unless that neighbor is Ohio." People from Michigan will understand.

October 1st, 2004. Last show of R30 tour. Anthem and Bastille Day in the R30 Overture and an abridged version of By-Tor in the second set. Also, October 1st, 1980, (coincidental, I think not) was the last full performance of Bastille Day. Also on the setlist, By-Tor, Beneath, Between, Behind, and Anthem. I don't think it was the last time for the FBN tracks, but was the end of CoS But that's just the R30 Overture. I want to hear an entire song from those classic albums. Not just little bits and pieces of it without the vocals. They just need to bring back their early classics like you said.
