Been a while, but I'll throw 2 cents in the pot. First of all, Hit Parader was the biggest bullshit fabrication in the world. Just my opinion.

BTW, the "Hookers" t-shirts are available in New Orleans. Got one when I was down in New Orleans in the spring ; "Hookers Bait Shop". If you google the afore-mentioned, you might find a mail order website.

I'll check out Motley Crue, ( just for laughs. Was never a big fan, but a buddy of mine won 2 tix, and asked me to go with him).

I can't wait for U2 to make up their minds, and release the itinerary. According to a friend of mine in the concert promo. biz, the "family illness" thing was somewhat blown out of proportion, and, believe it or not, the band and North American promoters are waiting to see if the NHL season is cancelled before North American dates are finalised and booked.

Pink Floyd - "The Wall"

Neil Young - "Greatest Hits".

Hockey is my favourite sport, (wish Bettman,Goodenow, and others would stop conspiring to destroy the game).

However, I'd have to say that in the interim, chasing my children around the house is fast becoming a new found "sportin' love" !!

I'd definitely have to say Tommy Lee. In fact, I always thought Motley Crue were hugely overrated. Also, although I've liked Van Halen for many years, I think Alex Van Halen is overrated as well. He's been playing the same tired, boring drum solo since about 1980.

I do think drummers like Phil Rudd, (AC/DC), Charley Watts, (Stones), and Larry Mullen, (U2), don't get enough credit. They're very good "stay at home" drummers.

Likewise, Chester Thompson, (Weather Report, Genesis, and Phil Collins), is an excellent drummer.

My favourite drummer however, remains Neil Peart. His drumming, and solos, ("O Baterista" for example), never cease to amaze me.

My latest purchases included the following :

The Who - "Who's Next"

U2 - "All That You Can't Leave Behind"

Gentle Giant - "Three Friends"

 

All pretty good. I'm looking forward to the U2 release next month.

It Was '76

I Was Merely Eleven

Aerosmith at the Forum

And I was in Heaven

 

Came for the 'Smith

But That Would Soon Change

The Opening Chords Hit Me

I Suddenly Felt Strange

 

"Bastille Day" Cranking

Through P.A. and Amps

Right Then and There I Thought

"Here Are My Champs !"

 

Excited I Was

Every Chord, Every Song

I Knew All of a Sudden

I'd Be a Fan Very Long

 

35 Minutes Later

It Was Finished, Done

"In The Mood" Over

This Was Just Way Too Much Fun

 

From That Day Forward

A Fan I Would Be

Every Album, Every Tour

I Simply Had To See

 

28 Years Have Passed

RUSH Still Are My Band

Neil, Alex , and Geddy

Tour The Land

 

I Bring My Young Son

And He Sees The Light

This Greatest of Bands

The Sound And The Light

 

I Think Back Through The Years

The Memories So Fond

My Passion For RUSH

So Strong Is This Bond

 

Now As I Listen

I Might Shed A Tear

"Time Stand Still" Plays

To Me It Is Dear.

 

 

 

 

 

I'd have to pick "Moving Pictures" because I think it is the most complete, all around album RUSH ever did. My only pet peeve with this album/era, is that a lot of people jumped on the bandwagon. RUSH were the "flavour of the month" album, and tour wise.

I like a lot of the older stuff as well, (FBN, COS, 2112, FTK, PW). I also love the first live album, "All the World's A Stage", (the energy, and raw power on that disc is incredible).

I also love RTB, and I think "Presto" is pretty under-rated. Damn, this is a tough question for an older fan !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you all for your kind words of welcome. I'll be back later on for more RUSH, and assorted fun !!

Thanks for the welcome. How do you like your Pop-Tarts, toasted, or straight out of the box ?

A very cool website to find. I've been a RUSH fan since '76, (first concert my sister ever took me to ; RUSH opening for Aerosmith at the Montreal Forum).

I looked around, read some of the threads, and liked what I saw, so here's to discussing the best damn group around. Cheers !!!!!
