Xanadu

Which show did Geddy say Baaab-y at the end of this song? It's on one of my R40 bootlegs, but I can't remember which one it was.

 

I love the song, and they did it so well on the tour.

 

It was the TM tour when Geddy did the Austin Powers (?) "yeah baby" at the end. :)

We had an overall mild and not very snowy winter in Chicago but I always welcome spring with open arms. My favorite season. :D

Neil wins

The timeless art of seduction.

 

Alex wears a onesie with wolves on them.

See now I pictured him wearing giraffes for some reason, rather than wolves.

Thinking...

 

(1) When an American says they're Irish wouldn't it be the same as an Irish person saying they're American? I never hear the latter but I've heard the former a billion times.

 

(2) Valentine's Day is notorious for being too commercial but why doesn't Saint Patrick's Day get the same rap? Many, if not most, don't even know what the day actually is.

 

 

Just sayin'.

 

I would say that statement applies to most of the holidays we celebrate.

 

(And supposedly, we should all be wearing blue on St. Patrick's Day, not green).

The Garden sounds better to my ears. I have not yet been able to get into Available Light very much. :|

What people need to ask themselves is how many great, near great and not so great songs have been written, inspired by shagging groupies.

 

Bitch what you know about Limelight, you never even shagged a groupie.

 

Shagging a groupie...could that have been "the universal dream" Neil was really referring to? :P

"It seemed like a good idea at the time"

 

Famous last words. If only they were around to say them.

How much? Inquiring minds want to know. :)

Since it never happened, we would never know.

I was never a fan of him or the Price is Right. I also find it funny that a man who hosted a show that basically treated women as objects was so hot and bothered about the animals used in a rodeo. It's not single people who are a menace to society. It's retired people with far too much time on their hands.

 

Perhaps he should have been spayed or neutered.

"Make each sensation a little bit stronger"...this line sung at the end of Time Stand Still. You can really feel the emotion in his voice, as if he can't emphasize these lyrics enough.

Lyrics by Neal Peart.

 

Oh? Who is that? A relative to Neil Peart?

 

Why do so many spell Neil wrong? I don´t get it... And I hate it.....

 

Still...welcome to the Rush forum, even thou you failed the first test!

Isn't this kind of being a jerk to a guy on his first post Zumbi?

--The 90%

 

It's really just a friendly hazing, I'm sure. ;)

 

Welcome, SRA!!

 

You can never get enough XANADU.

 

(And the song isn't bad either. :D )

I thought Geddy mentioned it once...once.

 

No, Alex actually said it because I remember him mentioning that Vegas would never be their thing but maybe other places....if I can find the link later, I will post it.

 

Regardless though, everyone back away from the ledge. Please.

Hard to say but these would definitely make the list:

 

Xanadu

La Villa Strangiato

Free Will

Tom Sawyer

Analog Kid

 

I haven't comprised my own list yet but I was happy to see TS get mentioned. Regardless of whether people are tired of it, if they think it's overplayed, etc, that is one kick ass solo.

Nice song, but to me, I have to really be in a certain mood to listen to it. It's tough to listen to a song like that after you just jammed to Xanadu, 2112 and Working Man. Very different vibe.

Gen X, bitches!

 

We will remake the world in our image!

 

We have assumed control!! :drool:

Car related themes.

 

Yes, and using wheels as a metaphor..

 

The Big Wheel

Between The Wheels

I want one of those but I will wait until one pops up at my local record convention....I would rather never order vinyl online.

I enjoyed it. You're never going to please everyone.

I am getting them too and I agree that you should NEVER click on any link directing you to make payment or give any personal info. That is your red flag that it's probably bad news. Always go directly to the company website or call the company's direct # and find out what the story is.

They lost the drummer, not the singer.

 

How about an awesome female drummer who can also sing? :)

Well thank you for the birthday wishes. It made a good day even better. :)

Happy 70th birthday!

 

Wishing you, dear Xanadu, a very Happy Birthday! Hope your day is as special as you are. :martini: :martini: :martini:

:rose: :rose: :rose: :rose: :rose: :rose:

 

I sound like a Hallmark card. But I mean it. :)

 

That is very sweet, thank you! :D
