Something about that picture that I like a lot.

 

The green? You don't see that a lot in stage lighting.

 

No, it's not the coloring, it is the way he is looking down. I wonder what he was playing?

 

From where his hand is on the neck it could be something in the key of E, which I would guess from the picture that it's probably Headlong Flight.

That's actually taken during The Anarchist, as Headlong Flight did not have any green lighting.

If you like their music, you're a Rush fan! :)

We don't have much to talk about for a while.

:sigh:

I know it's a pathetic thread

When do you guys think we'll get our first preview of the upcoming Blu Ray? Alex said it'll be out by the holidays so I would expect a trailer pretty soon.

Never listened to it fully before because I thought it was a bunch of noisy drug-fueled metal.

 

:o

 

Whatever gave you that idea?

I always thought the drum solo was bizarre and the LISTEN was just too much

Good tune! I always though the Bacchus Plateau part could have been its own song, and would have made a great single.

I think the best part is No one at the Bridge. The guitar transports me to another place, it's just magnificent. The rest is great as well.

Learn something new every day. Something tells me you haven't given the Debut much of a shot in the past either. Maybe even Fly By Night... :codger:

I've given FBN a shot and I quite like it. Some great straightforward rock. I do not own the debit however...

Never listened to it fully before because I thought it was a bunch of noisy drug-fueled metal. I was so wrong! It's simply a masterwork and what really stands out to me is how Geddy sings so emotionally in the song and it really brings out the story. Those three guys can produce one hell of a sound ;)

Jack Black walked right past me at the end of the Red Barchetta.

That's sweet!

So when or if they never tour again, or formally announce they're done, a lot of you wankers are going to feel silly but will probably never admit you were wrong.

You're so missing the point. When it is time for rush to announce retirement it will come through them not the guy who wrote the novelization. He either disclosed information that he was not supposed to or made his own determination that the band was done. The tweet being deleted says it all.

That they're done or he's an idiot?

So how did the show end?

 

was it an emotional experience for any of the band members

Geddy got a little emotional and Neil joined them at the front of the stage.

I decided to sleep during intermission,

 

Plus I don't know if I would have been able to watch the second half of the show.

I slept from Subdivisions till 2112

I heard there were some celebrities at last night's show including Bubbles. Who all was there?

seems like this place turns into a sort of random/spam thread before the show starts. What do we got? Another hour?

Scheduled to start at 7:30 Pacific Time I believe.

Let's ask the magic conch?

 

Oh Magic Conch, now that Rush has finished their R40 Tour, will they ever tour again?

Is this date the end of RUsh as we know it?

What shall we do while we wait?

The conch has spoken!

:lol:

Did someone say they sound checked AFTK and Afterimage?

 

I'm guessing that's just rumor-- I would LOVE to be wrong about this, but I'd be shocked if we got something special aside from just Losing It.

If they play new songs tonight it'll be the best show of the tour.

Did someone say they sound checked AFTK and Afterimage?

You're imagining things

Just scored a killer interview with bubbles

Bubbles???

The one and only

He's there?!?!?!?!?!? Legitimately??

Just scored a killer interview with bubbles

Bubbles???

I have to go now. Everyone please do enjoy yourselves. I hope it a show to top all shows. :)

 

I will genuinely miss these threads. Hugs for everyone!! :hug2: :hug2: :hug2:

 

:hi:

Good night, Lorraine! I will also miss these threads.

Can you imagine if we had periscope feeds in previous tours? I imagine someone commenting on the Signals Tour: "New World Man is on now...*sigh*...I don't like the new direction of this band AT ALL!!!"

 

Worse yet: Oh dear. Here comes that stuuuuupid Count Floyd. Time for that soulless tune The Weapon.

:laughing guy: :laughing guy: :laughing guy:

 

On the T4E Tour: "Yeah, they played 2112 in full, but Alex nesses up on Limbo...worst concert ever!!!"

Tonight's show:

"NO THEY'RE PLAYING TAI SHAN!!!!"

TM is representing the YBG tonight :)

What time do are they supposed to go on?

7:30 Pacific Time
