Hey guys: I direct a school of rock at work and I found a really fun song to jam out on. Meghan Trainor's "Lips are Movin'" Yes, it's a song for 5th graders but if you get that sweet-ass Lifeson chorus sound and add tremelo to the chords (G/Am/C) on the 3rd/5th/8th frets during the chorus of the song it sounds amazing and adds a really nice sound to the song. You really gotta use the tremelo like Alex does on G/P ala Red Sector A to get the real effect! Try it out loud and in stereo with the song! You will be on your feet jamming! So fun. Get back to me if you try it out. dt

and stevie wonder and elton john and pink floyd and

I definitely think rush did the synth thing better than any of the other 70s bands that tried it, yeah. except the who

i like the synths on stevie wonder's "boogie on reggae woman" unless that's an alien on the bass

great bonus clips! i'm sure u guys noticed ***spoiler***** on the taped show b4 the break eddie was like "when we return we'll find out the answer to the question: is this rush's final tour..." and you can see geddy shaking his head, mouthing..."no you won't" LMFAO classic

what a gentleman

try VH1.com

there some videos on youtube that go over all the details...they should have used some protectant for the wood on the outside because it's turning black...

Florentine is probably still kicking himself for is "Clockwork Oranges" question. That was funny and I like the new format of the show. Now I see what everyone was saying with the COS shirt! I don't think the show was bad at all and I've heard when Eddie really interrupts people...this was nothing. Look alike Geddy really enjoyed himself, too.

great show! i wish i could have been a fly on the wall for all the backstage stuff. wonder if geddy & john got to hang out & talk more. jim florentine is such a lucky guy to meet all his heroes.

a great Alex moment happens during the Bravado solo when he hits the low E out of nowhere. I have never seen him do that live...ever! It just weird because it was such an amazing part of the solo.

rush have said that when they made the album they loved the album and also said that without COS you would never have had 2112 because it allowed them to experiment. i'm sure they snicker at the album today but i also know they respect it for what it was.

I want to hear Geddy's version of when they met the Van Halen crew and band off the record. It's amazing how this event was swept under the rug.

I have to give it up to Alex for trying hard to make it a deep cuts tour. sounds like a greatest hits tour with a few deep cuts but it's strange to hear him say "songs that reached the audience" where all they have ever tried to do is makes themselves happy first and if it reaches an audience then he is fine with that, too. tough to have high points as a band when you are trying to find your voice through the years. maybe that's why they decided on the "audience theme" alluded to above. tough to draw a conclusion on a setlist.

me, too! how was the interview? I'm a big fan of Ladd.

? Not really a spoiler. No kidding. He's not really saying anything. Last tour could mean Clockwork Angels or R30. don't be defensive; i'm having some fun but i do think neil is hinting strongly at something

Bernard Bailyn's The Barbarous Years. First of all, this guy is an historian's historian with plenty of publications that speak for themselves. I get a boner when his books come out and the are few and far between. Check out The Ordeal of Thomas Hutchinson about the American Revolution and you will see what I'm talking about. He and Nathaniel Philbrick are my favorite authors. This one details the founding of Jamestown and everything in between. Great drama and impeccable research and makes his audience ponder history all over again. f***ing love this book.

f**k, Neil; shut it!

lmao #poopdown that was hilarious!

i sold 2 tickets for $2112.00 once and everyone was happy.

Hi trout man! Doing well thanks :cheers: It's all about those pork tacos these days with tomatillo sauce. I'm getting hungry.

It's not easy to do, but I wait until the last minute when all the brokered seats return for resale on TM. obviously i wouldn't recommend everyone to do this but if a few of you feel like you are getting the shaft, just play/win at their own game. it takes some nerves of steel but you will get amazing seats 99.9% of the time. You usually have to be on TM for up to 3 hours on the day of the show checking in and rolling the dice. front row on the floor to the first few rows on the side in the best sections: they always pop up. plus other floor seats close up. i have done this on the past few tours and haven't been burned. for any artist. for me it's a no-brainer. anyone else do this? good luck dt

wow some of that solo took be back in time to AFTK NOICE

powerful interview thank u so much for posting that
