  1. The song just doesn't represent who they are AT ALL.

     

    So?? Who cares??

     

    If they preform/preformed it then so be it.

     

    I like that song tbh

     

    Right on.

     

    And more to the point (not to mention, respectfully), if they like it and want to play it, it absolutely DOES represent who they are. It's up to us to decide whether we like who they are.

     

    Only they get to decide who, in fact, they are.

     

    I always take them at face value. I like some and don't care for some. I consider that to be just fine.

  2. I don't care what Moore thinks.

     

    V For Vendetta is a stunning achievement.

     

    Yeah, we don't have to. Still, as I said, it's easy to understand why he didn't approve given that the original characters and story were his creations.

     

    I still haven't forgiven David Lynch and Raffaella De Laurentiis for the hatchet job they did on Dune. As a purist of Frank Herbert's epic novel, I was disgusted by the plot and character changes. Herbert wasn't too happy with it, either.

     

    It's understandable.

     

    There was a lot of butchering with Watchmen but I still enjoyed it. And there was some with V but I still liked it too.

     

    Going way back, when the film producers of Ayn Rand's novel The Fountainhead tried to change stuff, Rand threw an absolute fit. She demanded that Gary Cooper read his lines exactly in the way that she wrote them.....no matter how long the lines were.

     

    Just like Howard Roark opposed all changes to his architectural works, so did Rand with her words.

     

    Indeed! And while I love Auntie Ayn, no sarcasm, what makes for a great morality play on the page doth butter no bread as movie dialogue.

  3. "Voila ! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is it vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished, as the once vital voice of the verisimilitude now venerates what they once vilified. However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose vis-a-vis an introduction, and so it is my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V."

     

    That was a great quote. How long did it take to transcribe?

  4. I'm so sad they're done. When I see this I am glad but it's also a reminder—how long til the talk dies down and the band drops out of view?

     

    They will never leave my current playlists, but it's always been nice know that somewhere out there, they are on tour or working on something new.

     

    Just another reminder of the universal mortality I suppose. All good things.

  5. Hi everyone

     

    I'm part of a Rush tribute in the Sacramento CA area. We have an extensive setlist and our shows typically run 2.5 hours of solid playing with one intermission. The show sounds a LOT like Exit Stage Left. Our singer will not disappoint, nor will any of the rest of the band. We've had skeptics at our shows and so far I've not heard a bad review.

     

    We have cuts from 1975—2007 with emphasis an on Hemispheres through Signals.

     

    We have a show coming up this Saturday night in Rocklin CA. Would be great to see a few more Rush fans there.

     

    Check out our website and Facebook page. Have a listen to a couple of videos. They're all mobile phone uploads but you'll get the idea!
