  1. You can't share a case of beer over the phone folks.....it was a beer party.
  2. The thing I've never liked about Portnoy is he never sounds like Portnoy....I never hear him play and say "Hey that's Mike Portnoy"..... instead I hear "thts a Peart lick..thats a Bozzio lick...that's a Bissonette lick".... When I hear any of those three ...they sound immediately like themselves...Bozzio in particular....and I can say the same for a host of other players... Mike never stood out with a voice and DT as a whole is derivative...fun...but derivitive.... Porcupine Tree and Steven Wilsons material sounds like themselves....Harrison and Minneman both sound like themselves....
  3. But if forced....the spirit of radio....really hard to beat....
  4. Can't pick one but agree with all stated already....one that's has a great intro and finish is chain lightning....another is digital man.....another yet...the weapon...and ( don't care if Rush abandoned it)... Countdown....all feature both to me....
  5. No doubt !!!!!!!!!!!! http://s26.postimg.org/tku81la7t/Neil_hairyback_01.jpg This might be the worst thing I've ever seen...no wonder he can't petend strangers are long awaited friends...
  6. If? It already exists...2113...by that kevin dude....
  7. Shoes....they've always had cool shoes in every era.
  8. The edge of this...the edge of that...the razors edge...edge....that and the Gadd fill which only works in certain musical situations...sometimes (most?) When Neil plays it it sounds out of place and throws the flow.....its basically the "bucket of fish" fill...and Bonham and Appice played it years ago..... Having said that Rush play better now than back when....more relaxed and confident as players....Lee in particular on R40 was pretty amazing....Neils about 100% better too....this is why they will do more studio Rush even if they never tour again...which I don't think they will.
  9. Sheesh....I really started something....hey don't get me wrong from 75-78 Kiss was my band but by 79.... I felt a bit robbed...they went from dangerous to disco....I couldn't accept it.... Which is funny because I was just listening to Bowies Station to Station...plenty of disco there but in his case it worked....:) I think 78 was my year of Kiss decline...saw em live in January was on cloud 9.... by October the cracks started to show...I remember feeling embarassed over the Phantom movie... I drew Kiss pictures contantly in those days!
  10. Grew up a Kiss fan...coverted to Rush around 79... here's the thing...battles have ensued between fanbases...who is better?... whose fans are better..?... etc...well.... Its 1979 ....again...going into 1980.... Kiss does Dynasty...without basically 2 founding members for crissake...Criss never plays a note......Rush drops Permanent Waves...heralding an entirely new era....no comparison....the "opener" kills the headliner.....Rush...much greater than Kiss.... Drops mic......
  11. I remember my first beer...
  12. I never understood the hate for BU2B2 either.....its a segue...interlude...a freaking monologue....that's it....who in their right mind is comparing it to other full songs anyway?.... I just can't understand the bizarre criteria some use to "judge" music like its an olympic scoring table.....
  13. Liked it a lot....got over the whole "its gotta be only those three guys damnit" phase a long time ago.....for every tour ? No. But it certainly made sense with CA as something like oh 9 of 11 songs had string arangements written and credited as such (can't remember his name now)..... edit- David Campbell who I think worked with Porcupine Tree as well...and those musicans aren't so nameless necesarily outside of general rock circles....in some ways playing with classical players has to make you up your game a bit. I see it as collaboration and enhancement....Dreamline was amazing with those real string runs...CA sounded great as well.....and Rush did it better than some bands where it was entirely 100% cheese factory.....
  14. People complaining about this jam need their heads examined. A superb effort. It's about as cool as it can get in my book. Agreed ...and too many fanbois who either don't play or have very limited musical experience ( playing in garage "I'm gonna nail it man") seem to have this bizarre idea that reading sheet music equals subpar musicianship....? Its the most misguided ignorant notion ever.....
  15. Great job by Simmons...my first rock hero guy as a kid. He's got a big heart. Then I began playing drums....
