I wanted nothing to do with being spoiler free. I was watching the scope feeds the first 3 nights..... I've always wanted to know the setlist up front.. Heck, the b set on the CA tour prompted me to buy a ticket for the Brooklyn show, after I already had one for Newark. Having said all that, i was blown awy by the suprise song in both Newark and MSG this time out. So there's something to be said for waiting..or not knowing. :) Now I just have to stop scouring the internet every day for Episode VII clues.....

Signals. I remember the day it came out. It was so sifferent from what came before. That's when the synth era started... regardless of producer. I'd even say that Vital Signs was the first synth song. Or maybe an experiment in same.

Maybe this is your way of bashing HYG, but that album sounds absolutely nothing like Vital Signs or New World Man. In fact it barely sounds like anything Rush did before or after, despite surface similarities to Power Windows. You're right. I am sort of bashing HYF. It has little to do with that early 80's tech vibe they had going on in Vital and New World. I guess I was just thining about Rush songs with no cahunas. :P It takes big cahunas to be so emotional and upfront, when a mask could be the easiest alternative to hide behind. Hold Your Fire is a bold, sensitive and soulful album written from the heart as much as the head. It has big cahunas and the heart to match. Cojones. Cahunas/Kahunas are Hawaiian shaman. ;) Meh. :P how imprtant is language anyway? LOL

Yeah. But yet... the sequencer intro they both have.... that new wave sort of tech vibe they have. I don't know how else to describe it. They could have been on the same record. I think.

But you're talking about the band and their presentation. I agree. It's the songs themselves that are missing...something. IMHO. Hey man, I can't like every album.

It was long after midnight, when we got to unconventional love. Great song. I still remember how Geds used to joke sometimes at the shows about it being a country song.

They did this already. It's called HYF.

Not nearly enough.

Yes. They saw the 9/11 attacks on TV and a day or so later, Pratt wrote the words.. the guys reworked the song to accomodate.

Nope. Sorry.

Brought Up To Believe Not Snow White's dude.

Ahhhhh. That's Cinderella Man.. isn't it? Which song from VT was originally meant to be an instrumental, but then lyrics written for it while the band was in the studio?

Things are getting interesting.....
