Not sure of a direct connection...but thrilled that the thread has inspired me to give Heavy Horses a spin... "The Mouse Police Never Sleeps..."

QUOTE (J2112YYZ @ Sep 5 2012, 09:11 AM) I never was in the trance and never will be. Yes, it's a good song but not even close to one of the best ever by Rush or in the entire history of music. This.

I went with no album. Compilations galore maybe, with an odd new track thrown in. Just a guess.

Freewill. It gets an awful lot into a small amount of time, without being the same song twice. *cough*xanaduhemispherescameraeye*cough*

QUOTE (Thunder Bay Rush @ Sep 18 2012, 02:41 PM) I also met Neil Young in Toronto years ago. He wasn't drunk, loud or rude, just didn't want to give two seconds of his time. My buddy's brother met Neil Young at a party. Neil had his John Deere hat on, and myfriend's bro starts chattin'. "What line of work you in?" Neil reportedly just said, Music." They apparently talked for quite some time, and Neil didn't let on who he was. The guy found out later.

QUOTE (GrandDesigner @ Sep 15 2012, 08:47 AM) Dude is unreal. No drummer I've ever seen (except perhaps Virgil Donati) has pulled off shit like that. His technique is superb and his ideas are creative. Neil's good but he's not even in the same universe as this kid. Anyone that doesn't acknowledge this kid's genius doesn't have a clue. And as far as solos go, the one posted kills. It's one of the few solos I've seen in a long long time that I've played all the way through.

But considering Clockwork Angels tells a story, and there's even a novel expanding on the story, you would've/could've thought that the videos would have had more to do with the story. Exactly, the slapstick routines don't really add to the story but almost mock it for some reason. They've never taken themselves too seriously. Count Floyd and the Weapon?

QUOTE (GeminiRising79 @ Sep 13 2012, 10:57 PM) QUOTE (Thunder Bay Rush @ Sep 13 2012, 06:25 PM) I'm probably going have some people planning a trip to Thunder Bay, Ontario so you can throw me into the campfire but - I don't like ANY live version of Working Man, especially this reggae nonsense. First, it seems that they always play it too slow. And, I don't like Neil's choppy drum beats as oposed to the original straight up beat that Rutsey laid down. The original version is such a great rockin' tune... but, live, I could do without it. I burned out on working man back on the ATWAS recording, in '79. What I especially didnt like about this live song was Neil ridiculously overplaying it. I felt like it was his way of asserting his position in Rush. It seemed very disrespectful, imo. I like that he's gone to playing it straight. The overplaying detracts from the great riffs. I enjoy it live. A great jam.

QUOTE (burgeranacoke @ Sep 13 2012, 09:15 PM) meh, No Bonzo no Zep. And really their concerts in the 70s were not all that great, they pretty much mailed them in. Not a great live band. I've never heard anyone that saw them live say that. Ever. Quite the opposite, actually.

QUOTE (Citizen of the World @ Sep 13 2012, 11:02 PM) Apocalypse Now. Martin Sheen's scene in the Saigon hotel room. Fantastic, not just for the tone it sets for the movie and the character, but the fact it was unscripted. Take an alcoholic at one of the lowest points of his life, get him drunk and film his mental breakdown. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEgqIY7xgtE
