  1. I've decided it's Force 10 for me. Those bass chords man. I'm not sure I'd ever heard that done before.

     

    It's not that unusual...Chris Squire was doing them for decades along with others.....I couldn't vote for Force 10 because I find the song so embarrassing.

     

     

    A classic example off the top of my head.

  2. Can't be arsed with coffee unless it's instant as it's too much faffing about...give me a nice strong cup of tea anytime.

     

    Tea drinkers are special people here. My personal observation has been a special subset of people...

     

    Oh we're "special" alright...

     

    I think tea gets a bad rap in the US because we're introduced to it through shit tea. Like many forms of cocktails and liquors, I was taken aback when I first tried "good" tea (I do like tea) and how much better it tasted.

     

    Yeah, that's true....though you have us beat in many ways with regard to food, in all my trips to the US I haven't been able to find a decent cup of char....

     

    It has to be seeked out and is truly a specialty item that may only be found in a "fancy" restaurant. Otherwise people order the better tea and have it delivered to their homes. Maybe go door to door next time :)

     

    If you are interested in decent tea, I can recommend the following:

    Not sure if you can et them in the US but both are cheap and really pretty good.

  4. CORRECTION: In my above post, I referred to a classic Sinclair gas station as being alongside the Lincoln Highway (US 30), when the station is actually alongside US 24. I've travelled enough miles on both or them, you'd think I'd know the difference by now. My most forthright apologies if this has thrown a major kink in anyone's day.

     

    I was about to throw a hissy fit but your apology saved the day.....

  5. primus canceling these gigs now it seems

     

    Everything is postponed or cancelled until next summer. A vaccine must be made before there will ever be concerts or sporting events with fans.

     

    NFL will play, but with no fans too.

     

    Holy John The Fisherman!

     

    This thread has been dead for over a year and for just cause.

     

    Guess it's cool I wrote this thread in the Neil Section. Makes sense after I just saw Primus play their gig at The Greek in Berkeley!

     

    Been waiting a long time for this show. It finally happened.

     

    I was so excited today as my old title header says actually.

     

    However I was left with mixed emotions.

     

    It was awesome to hear Les talk about Neil and Rush music before going into "Closer To The Heart."

     

    Don't worry, I won't give you any spoilers. You all know they play A Farewell To Kings all the way through.

     

    It was a valiant effort. Musically stunning. Vocally challenged. (well duh) but seriously, I was a bit shocked.

     

    I was very upset with the lighting. It was terrible. You couldn't see Les, Ler and Herb at all. The lighting was better during some Rush covers but overall it sucked.

     

    The set list had a few amazing moments, yet they seemed to more of a stoner jam band last night. Nothing wrong with that but I'm not into smoking weed. It puts me to sleep.

    There was more weed there than a fuckking pot farm in Humboldt County.

     

    I have a front row ticket to tonight in Paso Robles and a meet and greet. I am selling my ticket and not going.

    Not worth it for me to go back to back.

     

    Damn, I guess I am changing. But for me, it's for the best. I would rather hang out with my woman. Taking her out to dinner. Then we are going to watch a movie. Cuddle in bed and make love.

     

    Yes! This may make some of you puke.

     

    But for me?

     

    BLISS!

     

     

    Love is fuckking real if you can find it through all the smoke and mirrors of life and social media mediocre madness.

     

    Playing "Frizzle Fry" on vinyl right now. An Epic Masterpiece.

     

    Primus.

     

    Another band I am proud to say I fell in love with from the start.

     

    Sadly, they weren't "Closer To The Heart" tonight.

     

    It was fun air drumming to "Xanadu."

     

    Some dude tapped me on the shoulder after and said...... "Damn dude you f***in;; hit everything perfectly. Were you just waiting for Primus to get through the first set?"

    I said...

     

     

    "No dude, I've been into Primus since "Suck On This" was released. Seen them over 30 times. Just a Neil Peart guy. Been drumming since 1980 thanks to him!"

     

    The guy said....

     

    "That's so cool man, I've been drumming since 2007 thanks to Neil."

     

    I told him to keep drumming everyday. He agreed.

     

    I guess at the end of this post, it's safe to say that I'm glad this thread is in the Neil Peart Section.

     

     

    Great now I'm getting emotionally as I type this.

     

    Les said that he wished Neil was still alive to see the shows.

     

    Les also told everyone that it was just a fact that he was the greatest drummer ever. Also an incredible lyricist. Duh!

     

    Amazing.

     

    You can always say that Buddy Rich was the best ever. Keith Moon. Both were Neil's Idols and Influences.

     

    Humans can pick any drummer they want to be their number one. Their BEST!

     

    I'm 53.

     

    Neil Peart is the greatest fuckking drummer who ever lived. No one can touch him.

     

    Simon Phillips.

     

    Your poser poster boy Portnoy.

     

    Bozzio.

     

    Copeland.

     

    Weckl.

     

    Gadd.

     

    Bellson.

     

    My guy Simon Phillips.

     

    Gavin.

     

    Phil Collins.

     

    All amazing.

     

    NEIL PEART IS THE ONE!

     

    My opinion. My Love.

     

    Neil.

     

    Forever.

     

    I can play "Hemispheres." I can do it. My favorite.

     

    Neil's Spirit will always be.

     

     

    RUSH ON!

     

    That's nice dear ;)

  6. The font and size is whatever Amazon offers, I have no control over that. My messages are larger so it's easier to read, better for your eyes.

     

    Wow...you responded serioulsly to that?

    Well, it could have been a serious question. I have no way of knowing as the apparent sarcasm wasn't clear.

     

    Realllllly?
