Yahoo! LFG! lol

I could listen to Neil talking about paint drying and Id find it interesting. lol

Really interesting! Thanks for posting! The film clip of Krupa mentioned at the end is here:

João, this is an absolutely outstanding article! Giving the history and full context (musically and logistically) of the album and of Xanadu in particular (one of my favorite Rush songs) was very interesting for this long time fan whose read an awful lot on this. For older fans like me, we absolutely remember the era this album ushered in. While they evolved throughout their careers, this was one of those bigger, fascinating course changes. I also loved how you called out putting this song first - that's NOT a trivial detail, it's very different for them, and interesting and cool for all the reasons you wrote. BRAVO on this article!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This. The physical and mental focus required means less goofing around. And for years I saw them tied to lines on their guitars not interacting at all. I think that "fun Rush" started in the 90s lol.

I now want to make a coffee cup with that logo!

What a wonderful article, well done, interesting, and "I didn't think of that!" Bravo!

I was wondering about this, especially the toms. I know she tunes them to not be overly resonant but they sounded a little dead and youtube videos are no way to judge that.

I went from "oh god can I get seats" to "oh christ are they gonna make it to august?" lol

Viva Frenchie.

Time stand still crushed me.

I feel very alone :( 😂

oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I pronounce that like banal. lol

Neurotica. lol

Thats tremendous.

Whole industry was garbage and the internet being the final nail in their coffin was welcomed. Rush were more forgiving than me, when that malignant c-nt Jan Wenner (and his publication that glorified believably mediocre bands because they said so and let progressive rock get slammed) finally came around with Rush, they accepted it gracefully. When he appeared on that stage at the induction ceremony to honor them, meant nothing to me coming from him personally, he made it a little joke the reaction, instead of what it was, an indictment of his and his little magazines control of the industry. Those lazy reporters and self proclaimed arbiters of talent all did that with Rush (and many other bands). And their industry is largely gone now (in that format) and thats a good thing.

Yes and spot on.

Tremendous!

I dont know theyve played in front of folks so calm and reserved before lol.

What a way to announce we are back! WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
