  1. More women than you think. And probably a few men too.
  2. Very sorry for your loss. Our loved ones are truly irreplaceable.
  3. Been waiting for Victor II for a while now.... Yes, that would be great. Wonder if he's thinking about it?
  4. Toss up...my four absolute favorites by him are Here Comes My Girl The Waiting Change of Heart American Girl
  5. Would love to see Alex get himself a small, talented group of musicians together and do a small club tour. Can play some Rush, some of his solo stuff, and some classic favorites. Ultimately I hope he puts out more new music.
  6. But did he shag more women than Gene, that's the real question. :P
  7. I like their hits. I don't know their deep cuts.
  8. I'm also going with Permanent Waves. I am not sure if he couldn't do the shrieky voice thing anymore or if he just didn't because the music no longer called for it.
  9. RFO is awesome. Ryche is my 2nd favorite band behind Rush. And by the way, loved Criss Oliva and Savatage too. I had tickets to see them on October 23, 1993. f**k f**k f**k. My list would include Randy Rhoads. Another amazing young guitarist taken way too soon.
  10. DR: Geddy, your first album was released during the Nixon regime. How do you feel about Gerald Ford pardoning him over Watergate? GL: Er, what? DR: Your most popular record was released during the Reagan Administration. Don't you think Reagan should have been executed for Iran/Contra? GL: Uhh..... DR: Did despair over the Bush 41 regime lead to the recording of Presto without a bass guitar, or that God-awful rapping skeleton on Roll the Bones? GL: I never thought about that... DR: During your triumphant return in 2002, were you aware George W.Bush was snorting coke in the Oval Office and paying off witnesses who could verify he dodged service in Viet Nam? I have proof. GL: Neil gave him the coke. DR: Now enjoying your retirement, how do you feel about the current great embarrassment of America? GL: I thought she looked like an old hag on Anderson Cooper. Build that wall baby! And we want one on our side too! :rfl:
  11. I'm so sorry, Lucas. I feel a special kinship to you after reading that because my mother is also currently 86 years old, and I have to say, in recent months I find myself being so sad because I know what's to come. I know we can't dwell on what we can't change and that "it is what it is" but I feel so fortunate to still have her. She is my best friend in life and nobody loves me the way she does. I truly hurt for you.
  12. Hope is a beautiful piece of acoustic guitar work. Turn in your RUSH fan card.
  13. They look like they fit just fine to me.
  14. Maybe it got a good crowd reaction? Obviously enough people liked it or else they would have scrapped it sooner.
  15. Happy Birthday to one of my very favorite guitarists! :cheers:
  16. Ha, I was a bit of a Durannie myself (not as much as some of my friends were) but I always laughed at people who called them a "boy band". Well, we can debate that all we want, but Duran Duran actually wrote their own music and played their own instruments onstage and weren't just guys strutting around with microphones doing dance moves (Backstreet Boys....N Sync....NKOTK?) Big difference.
  17. Album: Draw The Line Song: Kings and Queens
  18. Oy vey, it's Ing-vay! ;) My brother and I really got into Alcatrazz when they first came out, and Yngwie was a rising star. I remember in July, 1984, Alcatrazz came to do an in-store signing by me and we went. The guys in the band seemed pretty cool but as I recall, Yngwie didn't say much (someone told me he didn't speak much English ). I still have the pictures somewhere that I have to dig up.
  19. The first musical voice I came to appreciate with the Infinity album. The clarity, the emotion, and the range were amazing to my ears. Same thing with Geddy. It's a shame how the voice changes over time.
  20. Anyone want to share the presale code? :) Also, please Bono. Give the politics a rest this time. You may not believe it, but no one really gives a shit what you think.
  21. I just bought tickets to see the Trans-Siberian Orchestra on Friday night, 12/23. I have never seen them before and really looking forward to it. :D
  22. This one was a shock to me because I thought he was a bit younger. He looked pretty good for his age. RIP, Alan. :(
