I just want to drink a bucket of hibernol and wake up in January. I can't wait for this!

Resonance has grown on me more and more. I think I might like it more than their debut at this point. Wildest Dreams and Heart and Soul have really grown on me in particular.

Eventually you'll get to my third post in this thread where I address *this* criticism. Does you computer load all the posts for you or are they being delayed somehow? There's clearly a distinction between a long time member posting a work of original art and someone who joins only to post ads for their creations. But you failing to see this difference isn't my problem. I was going to welcome you 'back', as I haven't exchanged posts with you in a while, but I suspect the feeling of brotherhood isn't mutual. They shared something that they thought this community would like. I don't care if that is akin to advertising, they were right. Read my third reply. And really, my second reply. Or beat the dead horse. ;) You keep referring people back to your earlier posts, which don't do anything to dismiss what's being stated. So if you're not willing to continue the conversation, you can just bow out- what you've stated has been read and hasn't satisfied the argument.

And also, I know advertising is unpopular but it's pretty much a necessity of life. You can't pretend like your own life isn't connected to, and benefiting from self-promotion. At least for a band like YYNOT, the product being advertised is a sincere and beautiful one.

Thought it may not be as good as their first, YYNOT is definitely casting a little more of their own sound here. It's got a little bit more balls than the first album, and pushes a few more creative envelopes. Open Book and She Said I Love The Rain are immediate stand out tracks. This one's gonna make my regular rotation alongside the first. Love this band.

The follow up album from Rush tribute band YYNOT just (somewhat unexpectedly) dropped. I'm downloading my copy right now and will deeper back after I've listened. Can't wait to hear it!

I haven't seen it myself yet, but there was some kind of 'thank you' card that was signed by the cast of Picard after filming completed for the film crew; and a picture of it ended up on Twitter. People are saying you can make out Michael Dorn's signature on it. Are we getting a Worf appearance? I just hope they don't mess up his head.

:cheers:

Here's to the Losers Phil Collins

Good Lord, forgive me for not sticking to the Beatles and Prince... :eyeroll: I figured people at The Rush Forum would be a little more up to speed on modern Prog Rock... I'll answer my own. Milliontown Boston

I know, Right? IMO, Mike Portnoy is the best drummer in Rock today. People seem to have a real problem evaluating his immense talent without being distracted by his occasionally difficult personality. The guy is an absolutely incredible drummer and a prog rock genius.

Fun fact: That big monopoly board was built by Les Stroud (Survivorman). He worked several jobs as a stagehand on the Toronto music scene before deciding to go off and make his way as a producer and survivalist.

It's close. I actually quite enjoy both albums. I'd give the edge to Roll the Bones for a more consistent showing.

Manhattan by Bob Seger Shakey Davey's got a twelve gauge in his hand It's sawed off to the limit He's got a vague plan There's this liquor store on Madison There's another one down on Washington square He's pretty sure no one's ever seen him Down around there The first one's birdshot the next four are double aught buck The last one's a slug just for good luck He's got his works in his pocket He wants to score as soon as he's done He can't wait to get straight to get long gone He puts on his long coat scribbles off a short note Sits himself down and waits for the sun to go down It's right around midnight and there's still too damn many people on this street He's walked all the way from Battery Park he's got sweaty hands and burnin' feet He's desperate for a fix His body's screamin' "Get me high" He bursts through the door and lets one fly Sunrise in the park and Davey's cold as stone He got some bad merchandise and he was all alone Two more unsolved mysteries a iot of paper pushed around Most folks are just wakin' up in this great big town

:ebert: Ditto. Great call! Without looking it up..........wasn't the band that did it called Ace? Amazing Rhythm Aces 1975 I know the Sammy Kershaw version. which is excellent! I never knew that was a cover!

Thanks everyone!

Great pick. Love the power that the bass comes through with.

Paul Gilbert is an incredible guitarist. If you want to hear his take on a few more Rush songs; check out "Cygnus and the Sea Monsters", a live Rush tribute show put together by Mike Portnoy, where he was on guitar.

I really like the lyrical melodies that Coheed puts together sometimes. I've been a fan since Good Apollo, but fell out of touch after The Afterman double EP. I should really go back and catch up with them. Year of the Black Rainbow remains in my regular album rotation.
