  1. QUOTE (metaldad @ Nov 21 2011, 09:43 AM) People are Still Pissed about Mike Anthony, get over it, he ain't coming back. MA is only about 10% of why I will never care for any form of VH (BTW when official VH website was up, EDDIE removed MA photo from the VH/VH album cover, put wolfgang in MA place ) I fail to understand why anybody care's about VH Only 2 groups I don't like now ( last 10 yrs ) are VH & U2 Both were HUGE for me for 20+ years. VH ( eddie ) just a lack of CLASS U2 total greed & Hypocrisy Mirror opposite of the path RUSH has paved ( got 20+ yrs & then 10+ yrs & probably 10 more classy years )
  2. QUOTE (Xanadoood @ Nov 19 2011, 05:28 AM) Look, i was a huge Van Halen fan growing up. I have close to a dozen bootlegs of the band, going all the way back to '76..i worshiped at the altar of Eddie as a kid..I know their history better than most...but the way this band has handled their career the past 15-20 years, really leaves me cold. And it sucks. Because i think Van Halen from 1978-84 were one of the greatest, most explosive bands ever... Bring up the Van Halen reunion, and the supposed new album coming out, to hardcore music fans, guys who grew up with them, guys who are passionate about all things music, and most just laugh...because they have become a joke...i feel VH could have saved their credibility back in '96, at the MTV video awards, when they came on stage to thunderous applause...i remember dudes who were into the whole indie rock scene, guys who you wouldnt think were into the party rock of VH, being psyched that the mighty VH were once again coming alive with Dave..people were really pumped...but what happened?...they blew it...and they have continued to blow it... I just can't take them seriously anymore This & The TOTAL Disrespect of Micheal Anthony Eddie is a PUNK !!
  3. Congratulations on your 3 yrs ------------------------------------------------------------------- QUOTE (driventotheedge @ Nov 18 2011, 05:40 AM)I bought 2112 on vinyl after hearing it at a friend of a friend's house and being blown away. I was already 19 years old then. I of course had already heard "In The Mood", "Fly By Night", "Working Man", etc. too on the radio. God I'm old. Regardless though, there is always room on the Rush fanwagon!! We're all here now and that's what matters. 2112 is also what "blew me Away" --- was very familiar with MP & ESL, a friend & rush fan walked me step by step through 2112, ( I was also 19 ) Spent next 2 yrs exploring their back catalog, this was ' 81, ' 82 Just couldn't get enough !! Still CAN'T !!

For a while about 7 yrs ago, our "Classic" rock Station quit playing RUSH, I found out cause I just randomly called the station to request RUSH & that's when they told me the New program director was saying there was NO catagory for Rush, hence NO place for them on KSLX, so I called a couple more times & the DJ's were very frustrated also ! Took about 1 year for them to start playing Rush again, but they only play a handful of classics. But, KDKB, sometime's once an hour you hear RUSH ! !

  11. Very cool, doesn't suprise me......here's my quick indullable 2112 introduction. (very short version) Way back in 1980, I got interested in music & found Rush 6 months later I met what has turned out to be a lifelong friend, Frank. He sat me down with 2112 & he played guitar while describing the live stage show, That evening is as vivid as today, Frank down plays the night, I up play it, still, 31 years later

  14. QUOTE (reani14 @ Oct 5 2011, 09:29 AM)Let's hear it> The worst concert i ever saw was summer of 2007 THE POLICE in philly. It blew and i like the police , they played all their songs in slow tempo and changed alot of the arrangements. They seemed unispired and just going through the motions. We had those cheap 50 dollar seats. so i had to deal with rowdy drunks. I swear the guy standing next to me was on some major ass coke. He kept throwing his arms up blocking my shitty view the whole entire concert. can coke do that to you?? he was like in his 40's too. I was so bored. at one point i got up and took a walk around the venue, and was talking to this lady and she said she was so bored too... BORING!!!. Quess it dont help that i seen rush a few weeks earlier.. This was my experiance with U2, in 2006 or so, BTW, Best show I have ever seen was U2 ( 1988 ) Go Figure ! ! I have seen 1000 shows ( see my list in other thread ) 99% great ! 2x I saw Boston 1985 ? or so, Volume was so low you could casualy talk over it, Bad 1993 ? or so, Replacement singers SUCK, why even try ! ! Should have known better & stayed home. I agree, Def Leppards "X" tour, bad bad bad
  15. QUOTE (hunter @ Sep 22 2011, 05:31 PM)You should put on a clear cover over your plate and stick the ? to that. Or maybe some little springy piece that is attached to the license plate frame. You haven't actually altered the plate now have you? Clear plate covers are "Illegal" So is my current plate frame ( My other car is a Barchetta ), because the upper part actually covers the state ( Arizona ) Haven't got pulled over for that yet ! But, The ? on the plate frame. not on plate, but kinda infront & beside. I have thought about doing this. If I did that, it would look cool, but that cop was 1 mile from my house & If that particular cop was to see it, Ya know I would be going to "Jail" for something ! ! !
  16. B U M P , I was a witness in an traffic accident yesterday & 2 cops were standing near the back of my car & saw my GOTRUSH plate & commented about it, I told them about the "Criminal Ticket" I got & showed them exactly how I had that ( ? ) mark/sticker Both Phoenix Police officers thought is was clever & not ticket-able, Just saying, That particular altered plate was a NON Issue until, That particular cop decided it was ---------- QUOTE (TheBlonde @ Jun 9 2008, 12:10 PM)QUOTE (Merely Space @ Jun 9 2008, 10:37 AM) First off, chances are good that the officer in question worked for a division of the PD that deals exclusively with traffic offenses, so he wouldn't be chasing major criminals if not for issuing the ticket in question. Secondly, altering license plates is something criminals do in order to aid their escape after committing major crimes. Obviously not the case here, but investigating seemingly minor infractions can often lead to major busts. Thirdly, trying to tell an officer why they are wrong to ticket you is just asking them to go on a power trip. I have to agree. I think it was questioning the cop's ability to understand the law that got his back up and resulted in the ticket. It is illegal to add anything to your license plate. If you really wanted to keep it on there, you could have just as easily gotten out, took the ? off yourself and then put on a new one later that day. As stated in my OP, after he asked for L/R/Insurance & asked who put on the sticker, I immediately told him I did that, took responsibility His attitude was ON TILT from the 1st words he said to me, so, I calmly added my comments about previous encounters with police & they never mentioned this was an infraction, That sent him into FULL TILT , telling me he could & should take me to Jail! ( WTF, if my information is from his counterparts, why should he go off on me ??? ) I started to backpedal & Kiss ass, but he just cut me off & kept yelling at me, He finally told me to stay in my car until he figures out what to do with me ! In those 5 minutes, 3 other patrol cars & 5 more cops showed up BTW, If at any time I had tried to exit my van & remove sticker I would have been TAZERED & gone to jail & had my van towed & lost my job I was on my way to ! No doubt about it !
  17. Just thought I would give an update about hitch hiking Saturday 9/17, about 1pm I was Hitchhiking ! Needed a ride about 4 miles & stuck my Thumb out & it took about 10 minutes for a ride, Nice hispanic couple picked me up. .
  18. Happy Happy Birthday ! ! ! Mine too ! ( big 50 ) Last night was the party, yes, big 3 part 12 hour gig now I need to
  19. QUOTE (nettiesaur @ Jul 29 2011, 07:01 PM) You don't get it. I'm right at the dotted line, they are back by the solid line. I'm the one with the right of way and they aren't obeying the traffic laws in this state. The only open slot is up by me, and when they zoom in and take it, I have to swerve to avoid an accident. and refer to the manners thread for why your attitude isn't o.k. Yea, overly aggressive law breaking drivers suck ! But like mara & howitis pointed out, blocking these people is the way to go, even though those particular people aren't actually breaking the law, just being idiotic. Granted your situation with the solid line is different, but I still say block ! If this was happening to me regularly, I would be watching for the first signs of the sneaker & presneak/block them. ( once in front of said sneaker you can slow if needed as not to jam the person in front of you from getting in ) No attitude here , just light hearted conversation with a splash of opinion, Please, my apology's if I was abrasive in any way Another growing driving pet peeve I have = People Not using their turn signals !!!
  20. QUOTE (nettiesaur @ Jul 29 2011, 12:49 PM)My pet peeve is that car that is the second one behind you on the ramp to the freeway, who sneaks out from behind you when it's your turn to merge, leaving you with no where to go, so you have to brake and swerve into the emergency lane Hope that wasn't ME !!! My theory & experiance is if you had merged they Could not have "sneaked" around you, so try that, Merge quikly & Block the sneaker ! oh- BTW- I hate dirty windows ecspecially windshields. .
  21. Defiantly a time & place for everything, For this, for me, it will be in about 10 hours . . . . ( After day job im at right now & After my night job is over ) But people . . . . . . . . . . . . Is the greatest . . . . . Um . . . . . . . "Drug" . . . . . legal or Illegal . . . . . Ever ! Oh & Anytime Saturday, my only day off lately.
