Wandering Hermit

I'm in if: 1. It is called Lee-Lifeson or similar. No Rush reference beyond that please. 2. The drummer is either Danny Carey or Brann Dailor. 3. Geddy singing kept to a minimum, especially if his voice gets any worse. Please learn from Roger Waters. 4. Mostly new stuff. Or bring out other guests on every show and do covers. They could have a new surprise at every show. 5. If they do Rush songs, do deep, deep, deep cuts or interesting new arrangements. Please.

I am! The whole family is doing great. My wife and I were in Holland this past spring for her work... hopefully there will be more of that in the future and it will give us a chance to get back to the UK. Have not been there since we met up. Would love to get a cup of tea again. Hope all is good on your end.

Wow, ancient history! Last we chatted you were doing some work way up north. Where are you now?

Awesome. Alex playing with the best drummer alive, and one of the best bassists out there too.

Hi James! Hi Kevin! Mini CP reunion

Other than the 12 fret mark, that is one gorgeous bass. I can't stop looking at these. The curve on the bridge end in particular and the jack placement. Sick!!!

^ Thanks goose. I'd never seen that before. Have you played one of these and if so is it hard to get used to fanned frets?

Can someone tell me what kind of axe this is? A what is up with the frets?

Brock Faber with Wild's first goal of the season. He is gunna be a good one.

Most terrifying LB ever. You watch those old videos and wonder how many flags some of those hits would draw today.

I am not sure how many years it has been, but I still listen to Lana Del Rey on a more or less daily basis. She is my goddess.

Could not agree more. Loved Simulation Theory and absolutely loathe, hate, and despise the cringeworthy Will of the People.

TWINS WIN!!! Waited 21 years for this. Sorry about that Geddy!!

Viking fan mental status update: even worse than last week WTF seriously

My hopes for Spiritbox going forward are: 1. Go proggier. They have the skill and the sense to do it. 2. MInimize the screams. Her clean voice is so gorgeous. Screams are good to the extent that they are rare accents, IMO. 3. Get a new font.

They have a SB victory to keep them warm. We don't, and apparently never will. So I have zero sympathy for them. None, nada. They have it 10000% better than us. (I am particularly bitter because I was born in Buffalo, so my two teams are 0-8 in SBs. I sympathize with peeps in Cincy and a few other towns only)

Being a Vikings fan sucks. JSYK.

Speaking of Tesseract, Spiritbox to me sounds like it might have the same producer. Both of these bands just sound like they have layers and ranges that other bands don't have or choose not to use.

Spiritbox All you LC fans out there, if you have not checked this Canadian band out yet, you really should

The Pretty Reckless

Matt Dumba is no longer with us here in Minny. Now with the 'Yotes. I will now go back to the endless winter of cap space hell and pray that someday we can make it all work for Kirill the Thrill before he leaves us.

Mike Portnoy Calls New Avenged Sevenfold's Album a 'Masterpiece': 'THAT is the True Meaning of PROGRESSive' https://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/general_music_news/mike_portnoy_calls_new_avenged_sevenfolds_album_a_masterpiece_that_is_the_true_meaning_of_progressive.html

Now that Babymetal has a new girl to replace Yuimetal (Momometal) I am pleased. It really did not work as a twosome.

Chevelle. Not one bad album.

^ Have been listening to Creed lately too. A dangerous admission in some parts, as they had an underserved bad reputation. Granted they produced some schlock that got overplayed. That being said, Tremonti is a true beast and more importantly, has a unique and recognizable style. I like Stapp's voice way more than Myles Kennedy's. Call them PJ knockoffs, but I'll put them on before I put on PJ.
