QUOTE (EmotionDetector @ Feb 2 2009, 09:58 AM) I thought this was a no-brainer! UNDER THE SHADOW Some of the most intense playing ever from all 3 of the boys! Absolutely phenomenal crescendo! RotP does have a great solo, but as Fridge pointed out w/ his Baba O reference, it's a three chord ditty that lacks originality.

And how many times did this get said: "Uh-oh....choppers!"

"You tell 'em, ferret face."

Who can throw away the cross and face the master??? Faith against faith... You forgot about these: Who will survive the gauntlet of discussions? Who will have that extra breath, that intestinal fortitude to sway the other his way? Who will buy the beer?! There's more than one way to have a kick ass duckBlaze Awards. The unfortunate thing is that I don't know any of those ways. Can we bribe the judges???? I can be bribed... He's cheap and easy.

Oooppppsss.........they forgot to turn the mic off on that one....... Laugh if you want, but that's the best I have ever heard him sound. He's a horrible singer. Samples are right here. (Just scroll down to "odd vocals: Alex sings.) I love Alex, but he should just stick to playing guitar. Go w/ your strengths. All of the vox I heard when I saw them on the last two tours were Geddy for sure. It's even more evident on the DVD's.

Twisted though it be.....got any smack?

Sonic Youth and Social Distortion. It was a great show w/ a lot of younger folks in attendance who had never really listened to Neil. Yep. I saw that tour, too. The crowd I was in didn't "get" Sonic Youth! I was w/ my better half, and she thought both of them were just too damn loud. I loved RG myself, but I did recognize a few clunkers; Farmer John and F'n up spring to mind. Still, it was a noble return to that garage sound of yore.

Buffalo Springfield to Greendale and beyond, there is brilliance in that career. (There are also some ill-conceived directional changes that flopped miserably; that 50's thing and the whole "Trans" phase leap to mind.) For me, all the Crazy Horse work is just phenomenal. Live and studio, the chemistry is just right. Through the 90's, I lost touch w/ him, excepting "Harvest Moon," which is a complete and worthy effort throughout. Otherwise, his work had become a bit dull, uninspired and repetitive to my ear. Greendale changed that for me in 2003. It's the Neil of old wailing away w/ Crazy Horse again, choking the hell out of his guitar to get that signature sound of his. They sound like they did, should, and will always; simply great. They are a total cohesive unit. For anyone that lost touch, my favorite sleeper album by him is "Freedom," featuring the semi-hit "Rockin' in the Free World." The rest of the album is unadulterated rock combined w/ his penchant for experimentation. And this time, it all works. "Broadway is the only clunker on the disc. Give it a shot if you've never heard it. I bet copies are going for less than $3 on Amazon right now. Good pick for a thread Re! (Edited for typos.)

Les is fun to watch. Bear makes me cringe. And I love it. Go ahead Bear, eat another scorpion, gut another camel.

Welcome to TRF Stuart. From the earlier posts in this thread, I think you'll fit in well here.

When I lived in a townhouse years ago, I played dogs really loud when I got a new stereo. It got every dog in the entire neighborhood barking. Twice. It's been my favorite song from that album ever since.

One from their Summer home (the pool): http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e83/gandsome/DSCF0024-4.jpg And here's a couple shots of the day they discovered "Dairy Queen" ice cream. http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e83/gandsome/DSCF0009-4.jpg http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e83/gandsome/DSCF0005-3.jpg

Great pics GG, PTA, Ceej and Sunny. Here are some of the latest I have taken. Even our dog gets in on some of the action. http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e83/gandsome/DSCF0046.jpg http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e83/gandsome/DSCF0047-1.jpg Without the dog (her name is Sandy.) http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e83/gandsome/DSCF0042.jpg

QUOTE (Rushman14 @ Jul 1 2008, 01:12 PM) QUOTE (steelcaressed @ Jun 30 2008, 08:03 PM) Half way through, and so far only the guitar work impresses me. Halford has definitely lost a step. A little too much orchestration for my taste as well. Good mood setting at times. More as I listen to the rest. Just listen to "Persecution", the last track on disc 1, and tell me Rob doesn't sound awesome. He does sound his best there. I've delved farther into it, and it's just too symphonic. Sometimes, it comes out nice and spooky. Other times, it's overkill. It's a decent effort, and a good choice for a conceptual piece. One question does nag me a bit: Where's the bottom end?

He's been there for five years, counting preschool. I cried when I walked him down the hall for the last time. He'll move up to the intermediate school in the fall. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v297/RushBabe/0522080738.jpg That explains Kerry's ear-to-ear grin. Hope you have a great Summer W/ your boys GG.

QUOTE (theredtamasrule @ May 21 2008, 07:48 PM) Coolness. I'm surprised to see Mortensen's name, mainly because it makes me curious about how they're going to weave Aragorn into the story...perhaps the LOTR appendices will play a part in the films. I don't care for that Boyens woman. I hope her writing has improved greatly since the LOTR movies. Perhaps a cameo at Rivendell. Otherwise, the story will veer to far off the original (like TRotK, when Frodo sends Sam away right before entering Shelob's lair. Damn near blew the whole trilogy for me.)
