  1. McCartney Wings shortage
  2. It's not a priority for the record label. Also there's a huge backlog for pressing vinyl which I'm sure is a major factor too. Fair point. Extending tht situation, then I guess it doesn't make sense for them to do CD/HD, and digital first, then vinyl packages later. Probably screws up the marketing and the impact of the releases to split them. And yet, there's this abomination - brand f***ing new: https://www.rushback...p=102112_102215 Yeah that seems like it was a label decision and the band themselves had little to do with it. Also, they almost, ALMOST had one song from every album, but somehow the myth that CoS is as unsuccessful as its tour still persists so they don't include, I dunno, Bastille Day?! Or even Lakeside Park? Shame. They can't even get their cash grab gimmick compilation right. "How do we decide what goes on the compilation, boys?" "I don't know, sir...let's get the dart board out..." "The Polygram era dart board. They love the old songs, they'll buy old songs!!! "
  3. I had a dream, crazy dream, everything I wanted to know, everything I needed.... something something....
  4. You Can't Stop Rock N Roll, Under The Blade, Stay Hungry, Club Daze.

  6. Every day.
  7. Merlot. From a box. With a straw. Just like a juice box. Grape juice with some kick.
  8. I purposely arrived late to the show Mr. Big opened and got there just as they were finishing what turned out to be their last song. I still think it would have been much better than Marillion. Marillion was the best opened for Rush I've ever seen. Seeing them live made me a HUGE fan. I didn't get around to finding Marillion until 2009 or so. Wow, hell of a band. I knew about them, but never listened. Believe it or not, it was because of the RCMH booing..every night. I thought all those years that they got booed because they were weird, or not good prog or something. Man, was I wrong.

  10. Tommy Shaw. I think it was the HYF tour. He was OK. Nothing to write home about.
  11. The joke will be well, it's 41. Just like R40 which was 1 year late. Frankly I'm disappointed. Having a hard time believing that this anniversary will pass, with no good reason for the thing to not be released.
  12. It's funny -- musical trios rarely last long. Even when popular, they have short lifespans. Jimi Hendrix Experience, Cream, Nirvana, Sublime, etc, etc etc. More than I can name. Usually they break up, or sometimes add members (as Rush was tempted to do). The exceptions: Green Day, Primus, and of course Rush. They all clocked 30+ years. Muse is almost there too. You missed the longest lasting trio of all, ZZ Top. Formed in 1969 and the original 3 guys lasted together until the death of Dusty Hill this year. And now it's most likely Zebra. Same 3 guys since 75. Next I think would be U2. U2 is a quartet. Yeah, I know. I guess I got to thinking about longest run with all original members, which would put U2 as one of the longest tenured bands. But yeah, I'll say it again - since we're talking about power trios that last a long time:
  13. Too Fast For Love, Shout At The Devil, and Dr Feelgood, 40th anniv remasters. It's nice to just unplug the brain and listen to some fun heavy stuff. Next up for tonight, a couple of Twisted Sister records, and some of their demos. Love me some Twisted.
  14. changed my mind. better that i keep my mouth (fingers) shut.
  15. No criticism or expectations from any of us Lorraine. It's that you are missed here, is all.
  16. Malmstang, Malmstein or whatever his name is. ;)

  18. now more photons
  19. I very much want to say that the first 3 Metallica albums fit in. Cliff had his moments, and a few great bass songs. But most of his playing, in reality was above average solid. Not iconic. IMO. But he did raise the bar for what could be done in Metal. Back in the day, his playing was a big deal. This isn't post-death hype.
  20. Prices seem to have gone up. They're gonna have to put out a pretty nice t-shirt for me to want to buy another one. I don't know what pretty nice means...I'll know it when I see it.
  21. Yeah..I heard about that. LOL. We didn't care much for Fastway either at MSG the next year. P/G tour. Almost booed them off the stage.
  22. Earth now abandoned
