  1. collector tin, check. Turn table, not yet. Soon!
  2. perfect description:weird yet catchy. I like it too. (Home on the strange)
  3. Well, I don't know if I'd go that far. I definitely wouldn't go that far either, even though I love it.
  4. I like Presto too. I have said before that my name really ought to be Presto Princess, because it was one (Moving Pictures the other) of my first intros to Rush back in the day. I think I'll give it a listen this morning on the way to work. ;)
  5. What have you listened to so far? angel, memories, mother earth & stand my ground, really liked them all. Her voice is so beautiful.
  6. Lots of interesting points. My thoughts, not speculating on theirs, although, of course we're going to speculate - it's a forum, that what we do. I personally have never liked the way they would still tease him by calling him the new guy. Past the first year, it's not funny anymore, IMO. With Geddy & Alex so close, I know I would have felt left out. Somebody said Neil spoke of rivalries. Where is that. I'd just like to read it, for curiosities sake.
  7. My goal is to use more of my creative talent & be on time more frequently.
  8. Ok at first listen, everything but the howling, I was like'mehh'but she's growing on me! Listened to several in a row tonight.
  9. I've never checked it out. So Alex doesn't do the main singing on it?
  10. My favorite part was the opener...blasted with the awesomeness & the knowledge that the whole show is still to come. Kind of like anticipating Christmas. Also closer to the heart was a highpoint.
  11. I just don't love losing it like everyone seems too. It just makes me sad & I hate the lyrics. "Some are born to....but most of us..." No. We're ALL born for greatness, not just some. Hate me if you wish.
  12. I agree. In his book "Roadshow" he refers to Alex and Geddy as the "Guys from work". Geddy talks about how Neil appeared in their lives during the interview. It would be hard to fit in with two schmo's you work with, travel all over the states in a car together, yet they consider you an outsider. It's on Geddy and Alex for not doing a better job in that department. Hard part is that Neil changed the band so much, his influence is much more than just a drummer. In many cases, he's the reason people show up to a Rush concert. Years and years of riding on a bus or a funcraft with two people who treat you like your something of a hired gun or the "new" guy will take its toll on a person's psyche. There's a reason why Neil is the loner within the group. Let's hope he can feel a part of the band once again. --Hannibal Lecter http://d.ibtimes.co.uk/en/full/395159/hannibal-lecter.jpg You really cannot take the perspective of a rather anti social introvert as being anything of substance other than his own skewed reality. I'm not defending anyone here, but none of us are there and none of us are privy to the real truth or any of the true realities of their personal interactions, the steps they may have taken towards friendship or any personality conflicts. The real truth is they have stayed a band with Neil for 40 years and if he didn't like it, he would have left. They obviously didn't really quarrel or have ego issues to cloud their relationships, like most bands do. Neil left Canada after his walkabout, he's always been an introvert and he has at least one personality disorder. You combine all of that and I am going to say there isn't going to be a whole lot of what many people would view as normal functioning friendships. you got some good points there. I have my own 'mental health'challenges & I know how social awkwardness & the desperation to be away from people, can hit you, unexpectedly sometimes. I think that's why he would run for the bus!
  13. after suggestions on this thread I checked some of their stuff out. We run was ok. Really liked the rap part mostly, surprisingly. Sharon (lead singer's name?)is beautiful. So far, of the several WT songs I checked, I only really dug the howling. The video was dark, but her performance in it was awesome. So thanks to this thread for turning me on to a new band & song!
  14. what song & band are you talking about here? I'm intrigued. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0bqRn0rLq1c Try this! And We Run is great. I will upload that in a second (but it has a rap part which totally does not represent the band at all, aside from its eclecticism). & I don't mind some rap (as long as it's not roll the bones, lol!) I liked that part where she went through the door. The rap in And We Run is overall better put together than the one in RTB. Within Temptation got a real rapper, Xzibit, to write and record those parts. So, it comes off as genuine. As opposed to the rap in RTB where it was three lame white boys trying to be all dope and shit. thank-you for verbalizing my thoughts perfectly!
  15. I'm sorry about your losing your great aunt, especially before you could see her. She sounds like a really neat person too! :'(
  16. My son 'ran away'twice, stole some stuff, lied, basically is in rebellion mode. That's why I haven't been around much also. He thinks I'm a bitch & wants to go live with his dad. He's my world & only child, so this is breaking my heart. His dad is poisoning him against me, IMO. He is definitely undermining my decisions as a mom. He's sixteen & I know some rebellion is normal, but not stealing & lying.
  17. gonna have to crack the dictionary do that one!

I will upload that in a second (but it has a rap part which totally does not represent the band at all, aside from its eclecticism). ok, but can you say the name of the band & the name of the song? We were discussing the band Within Temptation, the song was And We Run. The song I posted was The Howling. Sorry got too excited and posted a classic rather than respond properly haha! it's all good! Thanks for the clarification : )

  20. My YouTube locked up in the middle of it, but what I heard I liked.
