I'm a bit dissapointed to say the least. I really honestly thought that Geddy and Alex were going to break away from Neil and do something on their own. But I guess they're just gonna let him bring the entire Rush train to a screeching halt. I honestly hope they reconsider.

Nope. Sounds like an Uwe Boll 'horror' film DONT GIVE HIM ANY IDEAS!

In the words of Robert Fripp, unless you've seen or heard Porcupine Tree, you don't have the right to form an opinion. Your track record proves it and I honestly doubt your sincerity on your opinion. Porcupine Tree was a band with 4 distinct personalities. SW's solo career is basically his vision and his vision alone. Your opinion does not equate AT ALL. I'm just saying that just because PT as a band is no more, doesn't mean the well has dried up for the creativity and music. As I said, Steven Wilson has a relatively successful solo career, he released a solo album literally ten days ago and after listening to a little bit of it, the well definitely hasn't dried up AT ALL. Nowhere in my original post did I ever imply SW's well has dried up for musical creativity. If you knew your facts, he's made music as No-Man, Blackfield, IEM, Storm Corrosion, and Bass Communion which has a new 10" coming out next month. And as for his new solo album, thanks for stating the obvious, Sherlock. I've already posted on the To The Bone thread many times already and I even listened to the album again today...and I think it's great even if it isn't my favorite thing he's done. I like to know what your opinion is on it...if you even listened to it yet. Regardless, my opinion still stands. Oh will you EVER forgive me for not being as familiar with Steven Wilson as you? Listen dude, we all have our own obscure thing that we're into. Do you know who Tim Donahue is? Maybe you do, maybe you don't. Not a lot of people do, but I happen to be a huge fan of his work. Anyway, I do find the opening track to be a very beautiful song and I'm actually listening to more of it right now as I type this.

Kashmir is very good but repetitive while Jacob's Ladder is a proto-prog metal masterpiece. Vote is going to JL.

Considering that most people equate porcupine tree with Steven Wilson and he has a very consistent solo career, it probably isn't that big of a loss.

The topic of "is rock dead" is CONSTANTLY discussed and talked about. Mostly it's consisted of middle aged guys and debbie downers (such as how I was) bemoaning modern music and declaring that good music is dead and not coming back. Since I've had my epiphany almost a year ago where I discovered a shitton of great new rock and metal bands, I've accepted that not only is rock alive, but is alive and well in some aspects of life. My question is, what are some measures that we as fans can take to ensure the long term survival of the genre? My personal opinion is that we should support their live productions. If there really is no money to be made in record sales anymore, the best way to support rock acts is to see them live as much as possible and be a part of their cult following.

‘If you’re not a liberal when you’re 25, you have no heart. If you’re not a conservative by the time you’re 35, you have no brain" Not real sure of the actual person who said this. Attributed to Churchhill?? When you look at the metal scene in the 1980s, you'll find a lot of songs that make fun of those scumbag televangelists like Jimmy Swaggart and Jerry Falwell. So it does pain me to an extent to see these people now supporting them as they get older. It's like, what the f**k happened to the idea of rebelling against the hypocrites and liars of society? Now you want to join them? I've just about f***ing had it with the hypocrisy of humanity.

I think they should just go for it. They shouldn't let Neil drag them down. If it's true that Ged has more gas in the tank and Alex's arthritis is getting a little better, by all means they should do something together!

I usually don't like to mix up politics with music at all. I enjoy what I enjoy and that's that.....However, I'd be lying if I said that I don't feel a little alienated when it comes to the fact that the older metalheads that were kids in the 1980s are becoming more and more conservative as they get older, like the baby boomers did. It sometimes does seem like I'm very out of place as a center-left person....like I'm a square peg trying to fit in a round hole....like I don't belong. Seeing these people overtly suck Ted Nugent's ass on every issue in the news....It's just so f***ing hypocritical. These people are now for the things they fought against when they were kids in the 80s.

Whatever. Dave and Busters is where it's at.

The ENTIRE Grace Under Pressure album. I would say that GUP was actually a pioneer in the genre of dark wave. Light sounding music with an incredibly dark theme.... 1.Fear of nuclear war 2.Loss of a love one 3.The holocaust 4.The effect of mental illness 5.Living in a dystopia 6.Bullying 7.McCarthyism/The Red Scare 8.Life during wartime

You always know you remade it in show business when you perform at comic con lmao You cant deny that by performing at Comic Con, they proved that their music can still strike a major chord with the younger demographic of people.

BTW it's great to see live album that's going to be a true testament to how the band sounds nowadays. These guys may be in their late 50s and 60s, but since getting Ronnie and David Manion, they play like they're in their 20s now. Hell, these guys just played a surprise gig at Comic Con to thousands of screaming, young Supernatural fans! If that's not an example of a successful comeback, I don't know what is.

What's so bad about Freaks of Nature?

Fraroc's new band. Their new single this Hair's for you is ripping up the chart. yes i mean chart......singular. Mick I'm on a site called The Rush Forum. That would indicate I like genres other than hair metal lol

I dont think you understand Earl. He is literally Yosemite Sam after taking 3 parts Monster energy drink mixed with 4 parts Mountain Dew and 10 parts liquefied crack cocaine.

I would LOVE to hear Virus done with Bruce. He would do a fantastic job with that one.

He doesn't gain anything by lying. But don't forget that close friendships create blind loyalty which leads to over praising the person you care about. He's obviously not going to publicly throw a fellow bandmate and friend under the bus. I'm tired of talking about this Jannick shit anyways. Blaze is a good singer, he just didn't really fit with Maiden the way Steve originally thought he would. I always said that The X Factor would be considered a top tier Maiden album if Bruce sang on it since most of the material is pretty strong. But Blaze just couldn't give that life and passion to the songs that Bruce could. The audience completely abandoned them as well. They went from playing arenas and stadiums to only doing a few thousand seat venues with Blaze. Obviously filling Bruce's shoes was going to be a daunting task for anyone. But Blaze had none of the on stage presence, charisma and personality that Bruce does. If he could have even brought a little life to things fans would look on him more favorable. I agree about the stage presence. Even at the ripe old age of 58, Bruce is all over the place onstage. Blaze on the other hand was a statue. All he really did was stay in a power stance in the centre of the stage, sang and tried to "look tough". I understand that Maiden was trying to go in a rough and gritty direction, but he tried way too hard to look the part.

Now that I'm listening to more Iron Maiden, I'm now beginning to realize that a lot of the Blaze Bayley material is actually really good. I fuc'king LOVE Virus and Man On The Edge. Virus has a lot of progressive elements to them and Man On The Edge reminds me of Be Quick or Be Dead, which is one of my favorites. Contrary to most fans' opinions, I think Blaze is actually a really good vocalist in the lower register and I think Steve Harris made a huge mistake by refusing to tune down a half step. They would have sounded way better overall and Blaze wouldn't have had to struggle to hit those high notes.

I'll be happy if they do innuendo just once with Adam.

I made a thread about this a while back. I personally believe that if Rush has a vault, it's probably 100% unreleased concert videos and audio tapes of shows. There are probably no unreleased Rush songs out there. In one respect, I really do hope there is a vault, because that's probably where the cut Grace Under Pressure Live footage is and videos of all the times they played in the Capital Centre in Largo.

This entire article is just nothing but a bunch of Rolling Stone magazine shite.

Can they PLEASE do innuendo with Adam Lambert?

They make a digital version of them, which do resemble the ones we know and love, however those mellotron samples could probably be loaded onto any digital keyboard or MIDI controller.
