1. A lady behind me tapped my shoulder and asked me to sit down when the show first started.

There were actually a few problems at ACC. Neil couldn't play the beginning morse code of YYZ awesomeley because his sound cut.

Heard them this morning via Youtube, as apparently you have to be american to buy it from amazon...

 

Anyway, I'm liking them a lot so far. I'm expecting this album to be even better than S&A, which I thought was for the most part a very good album.

 

I love the middle section in Caravan, and that opening riff to BU2B is friggin great.

 

I don't even think the lyrics for BU2B are as bad as i'd thought they might be. It seems Neil has learned to express what he felt on S&A and make it work a little better.

 

Definitely gonna be cool to hear these live this summer aswell.

 

This new album's off to a great start already

Fair Warning is definitely their best album. I was originally drawn to it due to Unchained, which is probably my favorite Van Halen song, but the other songs are figgin' amazing too. Mean Street is probably my second favorite Van Halen song, just because its so awesome. Even stuff like Hear About It Later and Sinner's Swing are pretty awesome too.

 

If I had to put the 6 DLR albums in order:

 

1. Fair Warning - See Above for why its so great.

2. Van Halen I - One Good Song After Another

3. 1984 - One of Those Great Albums That You Just Never Get Tired Of (Even though it has Jump on it)

4. Women and Children First - Every Body Wants Some!! 'Nuff said.

5. Diver Down - Should Probably suck, with all the filler/covers, but the original songs (and even some of the covers) are so good, that I can't help but like it.

6. Van Halen II - Has some great songs (Light up the Sky, which is probably the best song on the album), don't get me wrong, but on the whole its a weaker album than the others.

I saw it with a couple of friends a couple of hours ago, and I have to say that I really didn't like it all that much. I really don't know why either. I'm really at a loss for words. I guess I was just really disappointed. I guess I expected something a lot better.

Alan Parsons Project - Tales of Mystery and Imagination

Black Sabbath - Technical Ecstasy

ELP - Welcome Back My Friends to the Show the Never Ends

ELP - Works Volume 1

Genesis - Nursery Cryme

Genesis - Foxtrot

King Crimson - In the Wake of Poseidon

Led Zeppelin - Houses of the Holy

Led Zeppelin - Presence

Van Halen - Women and Children First

Van Halen - Diver Down

The Who - Tommy

Yes - Yes

QUOTE (KublaKhan @ May 12 2008, 01:35 PM) Try "As Bad As This" By Styx. Yeah, Its a John Curulewski song, but its good.   STYX is amazing! They are amazing. I'm getting into the Curulewski Era stuff, and its pretty damn good. I'd go as far as saying its almost on par with the "Classic" Shaw Era stuff.

Holy shit... i can't believe this happened! How long ago did it happen? How long did I go without knowing he was gone?

 

I listened to the first album a couple of days ago. Kinda coincidental.

 

Rush would definitely not be the band it is today without John. Thank you John for making the first album so good. you will be missed by me every time I hear the first album from now on.

Try "As Bad As This" By Styx.

 

Yeah, Its a John Curulewski song, but its good.

I only learned this 2 seconds ago, and I almost had a heart attack.

 

I can honestly say he's my favorite actor. Planet of the Apes really changed my life. It is and will always be my favorite movie. Charlton's acting was awesome in that movie.

 

He will be dearly missed by me. I heard he hasn't been doing so good in the past couple of years, so I hope he's somewhere happier.

I will choose Freewill.

 

 

 

I bet you all saw that one coming.

You amaze me as always Mort. I love this song, and you did it justice.

If you don't vote for Xanadu.... I wont do anything.

 

But it should lose... I mean win... i mean...

Tears is the worst song from 2112.

Attention All Planets of the Solar Federation: I will be having a show tomorrow. They say they've made some upgrades at the studio, so I'm gonna do a show and see how it goes. Feedback about connections and sound quality will be appreciated. Peace & Love, Gary

Hope. my least favorite song from the album.

 

 

Oh, and dude, thanks for taking over. I'll take over at some point...

 

Oh, and people, One Little Victory won VT, so the Winners Circle is:

 

Finding My Way, By-Tor and the Snowdog, The Fountain of Lamneth, 2112, Xanadu, La Villa Strangiato, Natural Science, Tom Sawyer, Subdivisions, The Enemy Within, Marathon, Mission, The Pass, Dreamline, Leave That Thing Alone, Test For Echo, One Little Victory

 

So, once S&A is over, unless Rush puts out another record before its done, the next thing will be the All Star sort of thing.

Bastille Day.

 

The Necromancer is the next to go.

Just got it a couple of hours ago, and i'm on page 50-something. Its pretty good so far, especially the last chapter I read.

 

I'll probably have it read by the end of summer (I'm not one of those "Read it in the first night/day" freaks, no offence to the people that do that sort of thing). Either that or while i'm away in August. In a bathroom in a hotel. thats how I finished the 6th one.

 

Promises to be a good book. Can't wait to get further into it.

 

Oh, and PK, I made the same ending prediction as you (The "They both kill each other at the same time" theory) after I finished the Goblet of Fire.
