Yeah bye have fun. Who was that guy anyway?

"“For Farewell, we had some younger artists contribute versions of songs for that album, including Big Wreck, Billy Talent and Foo Fighters. But this time we wanted to do something different, so we dug deep into the archives over here at Anthem and were able to come up with a really cool live concert almost in its entirety from the Pink Pop Festival in 1979. In terms of a choice of rarities, this was a recording where if you searched diligently you might have been able to find bits and pieces of it online from people who had recorded it. We worked closely with the Pink Pop Festival and a radio station and television station in the Netherlands that broadcasted it and got the full show. Which was really cool, because Elvis Costello was on the bill, and so were The Police – a very eclectic lineup in 1979,” he explained." "As a true fan of Rush, Curran takes the job of compiling and re-releasing material very seriously, because he knows first hand the loyalty of the band’s fans and the high standards to which Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson and Neil Peart wish their legacy to be persevered. But it’s also boatloads of fun being able to metaphorically and even literally root through the attic of your favourite band, finding hidden and long lost gems. “There are times when I am literally pinching myself because, first off, I can’t believe I am actually working with these guys, and secondly that they trust me with it. It’s like being part of their inner circle. And then it’s so amazing to find something that no one has ever seen or heard before. When you find something the is unique and special, it’s very cool. There is some visual stuff that I am going through right now, that they documented during the time when I was literally a kid buying tickets and going to see them. One of the reasons I bought a Rickenbacker was because of Geddy Lee. My God, its like being a kid in a candy store at times,” he said. “My job is to make sure that we keep the integrity of what that band did and deliver first class stuff. Anything I find always has to go back to those guys for approval. Recently I found a recording from a hotel of something they did and Geddy looked at me after hearing it and said, ‘the world can never hear that.’” There will not be a 40th anniversary Rush re-issue in 2019, with the next one come in 2020 with a Permanent Waves package, but Curran said his boss at Ole, Robert Ott, has lot of projects for him..." Does he know the Pink Pop show has been "available" more more than 30 years? My confidence level on these just took another major hit. Hopefully he wasn't referring to Sir Gawain...cuz there HAS to be a version of that somewhere.

Chances are that I'll be talking to James LaBrie soon, so I can always ask HIM your question. Will that work? I was wondering how much Rudess was involved in the DT composition process, if his skills were more as an arranger or does he feel he acts as more of colorist a la Rick Wright of Pink Floyd. Maybe this has been answered before. I don't read too much of the press on them though I do like their music. That is somewhat addressed in the interview: https://lotsofmuzic....4RDE9eI6ThUnuWo You rock, Rod. :_)

This is where Rush are different to Dream Theater. I know the Rush sound but I don't know what the f**k makes DT special lol And not every single band has to be "Special" to be enjoyable, lol. Sorry i have a headache today. Mick Yes but is it your favorite?

Hey Rod. Ask Jordan who the girl in Treeducks sig is. Oh I see you did the interview already. I dont think I’ve ever actually heard him talk. I actually had a serious question but perhaps it was gone over already.

I love mis-heard lyrics, haha! I know there are some that I still haven't figured out and usually just mumble my own nonsense as I sing along. One of my favorites is non-Rush, "Big old Jed had a rhino", (Big old jet airliner) by Steve Miller ;) No. Its obviously, “Bingo Jed had a light on”. Sheesh, newbies ;)

And Generalismo Franco is still dead.

Yeah whatever. Rush Lives On...thru umpteen catalog reissues.

Wait, what?? Lol. My son is 8. He already isnt buying it.

Hes not saying. I get the feeling she doesn’t really exist. A bit like the chance Rush will ever tour again.

Wait, what??

you bastard!!!!

Ya know, I used to love it a lot more, but now, give me the songs that ended up on S&A Live and throw the rest away. Just like VT and CA, just goes on waaaaaay waaaaaaaaayyyyyyy...waaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy tooooooooooooo loooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng.

Hey man, you tell Geddy hi for me?

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMNNNNNNNNNNNN How does he smell? What kind of shampoo does he use? Both of them smell like prog myrrh. Alex's wife Charlene is here too. Thats awesome. I have so many questions for them. Is white really the color of their carpet? Does Alex leave the seat down without peeing on it? Wig or transplants?

Who's the new chick? It's the same one that's in my avatar. Yeah...ok buddy.
