  1. Any suggestions for good 20-minute songs? Yeah I'm on a non-Rush kick now, I'm disillusioned at Neil for betraying us all (lol). Here are a couple that I thought were pretty damn good: Yes - Gates of Delirium http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EdmUAsU2eXI Dream Theater - Octavarium http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVMIk3xYaYo
  2. Haha Geddy at the end: "due to our state of decrepitude, we must take a wee short break."
  3. Yay, they're planning the second leg of the R40 tour! Actually it sounds like he's equivocating. In other articles he's flat-out said he's retired. In those other articles, when was he interviewed? Before the tour? After? During? Wasn't this article conducted in the middle of R40? Peart doesn't seem like the type that was going to say DURING a tour, "Without a doubt I'm retiring after this tour." Ask Peart today and his answers might be different. I forget where the links are, but I was thinking of the following things: - some big shindig where Jack Black talked to Neil, who said it was over. - Neil's own blog posting where he was reveling in the fact that it was "the end of the road." - not an article, but a twitter by Neil's novelist friend, who said Neil is retired. - The fact that the road crew got Tag Heuer watches that said "thanks for the memories" when the tour was done. But yeah if the interview was DURING the tour, Neil would be mumbly about future retirement plans at that point.

  5. Scars Territories Headlong Flight (for those who prefer the mosh pit).
  6. A bottle of good whiskey seems to be appropriate for this situation.
  7. We gave Rush money, Rush gave us music in return. End of transaction, nobody owes anybody!
  8. Or a Japanese Neil Peart for that matter...
  9. Youtube just keeps throwing live Counterparts stuff at me. In this one, Alex talks a lot at the beginning. Says Rush was awarded the Stanley cup.
  10. It oesn't bother me because I know it would never happen. Without Neil, there is no Rush. Geddy and Alex with a different drummer will never be Rush. I remember one of them, probably Geddy, said as much once. I don't recall the quote exactly but the sentiment of it stayed with me. If you believe Rush is a band with integrity, then you believe Rush can only be Geddy, Alex and Neil. They are not Yes.. they are not KISS. They are RUSH; not interchangeable, each irreplaceable. Most members here, including me, are saying if Ged n Al want to continue under a different name, that's fine. They have the ethical right to perform and record under a different name if they choose. They are supposed to retire just cuz Neil told them so with three months notice? Rush Prime Rule #1, that is almost never mentioned on TRF, all 3 need to agree for them to do something. Retirement is the biggest something that they can currently do, so I am sure Geddy will get at least a pound of flesh from Neil The Emperor, before the final act, he usually does ;) Or they could just fire the drummer and find another one. He is the "new guy" after all.
  11. But how does anyone know what Neil was saying or doing behind the scenes? Are there spy reports?
  12. Also: Neil is 63 years old. Many people retire before 65, why can't Neil?
  13. Hardest song: "Take That Lampshade Off Yo Head!"
  14. Thanks but not necessary just smoke a fatty with me the next time I cross the pond. "Fatty" doesn't mean a a gay dude in the Queen's English, does it??? There's no word for large penis in British English. Dong!
  15. Hey, I heard "law men" there too. For the longest time I though it was: "Philosophers and blind men, each must know his part..."
  16. No, but not for lack of trying. I thank my barf reflex for keeping me safe all these years!
