QUOTE (PuppetKing2112 @ Jan 30 2007, 01:55 PM) Who is this Gary Moore? Gary Moore is a killer guitarist, born in Northern Ireland. Sure he is an old dude now but back in the day he could shred with the best of them. I am sure you have heard of THIN LIZZY, one of the greatest bands on the planet. Well they were, but heck I love John Sykes too and he has kept Thin Lizzy together way after Phil Lynott's passing. I know you are a U2 guy but I will take Thin Lizzy and Rory Gallagher anyday as the best to come out of Ireland! I am sure you won't listen to me but go get Thin Lizzy's "BLACK ROSE." Not only does Gary kick ass on the guitar, the record is a CLASSIC! Cheers! Earl

All my friends wanted to stay out in the parking lot and finish off the pony keg of beer in back my buddy's CR-X. So I missed Steve. I was pissed. Doesn't that me getting drunk in Europe? I'd have RUSHed in and watched Steve myself mate regardless... I know Pat. Shoot man, I was a junior in high school working for Safeway. All of my friends were 21 years old or older. Nothing like a minor drinking beer in a parking lot before a Rush Concert. Yeah I chose to stay and drink rather than think and go in alone and watch Steve Morse jam with Rod on the drums. I have seen him a lot though since then. Dixie Dregs are great too, so it's all good! Speaking about drinking beer before a Rush Concert, I guess some things never change.

Hey Kudzu! Timing is everything. I am on disc two of "Marbles" right now. I love it!! Can't wait for the new one! Earl

QUOTE (pedro2112 @ Jan 29 2007, 06:21 PM) Rushhead's "buddy" just got out of at time Machine. I saw Gary Moore open for Rush back in the 80s. Good one! Yeah I find it hard to believe too. He heard it on some radio station on around Sacramento. Not sure if it was on the Eagle or not. 96.9. I have seen RUSH many times up there and the Eagle is always in a booth outside in front of the shows. Who knows! I want an "Evening With Rush" too. I missed Gary Moore opening for RUSH. Guess I better start working on the blueprints to my Rock N Rush Time Machine! Cheers!

I just got off the phone with a buddy of mine who told me that he heard on the radio that Rush and Gary Moore are going to be on Tour together this summer! Has anyone else heard this??? I went to the Gary Moore Website and there was nothing there about summer tour dates. Just March and May dates in the U.K. RUSH ON!

Cool! It's the Nature of the Beast dude!!! It's me! I love to "Ramble On!" Sincerely, Robert Plant Beasties Rool "Cooky Puss!"

QUOTE (PuppetKing2112 @ Jan 28 2007, 12:17 PM) Okay, what the hell is this thread about exactly? I want to think it's something about old school hip-hop, but RUSHHEAD's post was completely incomprehensible. No explaination needed. It's pretty cut and dry to me. I must live on another planet. Sorry I don't write in practical straight forward terms. Even though we type inside a box I try to think outside the box even at 2 AM in the morning. Next time I will "Cut To The Chase." I won't write rubbish in rhyme formation. I won't talk about "Niggaz With Attitudes." I will just write boring and bland theads about Pink Floyd, King Crimson, Yes, Porcupine Tree, Dream Theater, Kansas, Genesis, ELP, Marillion, Camel, Asia, and Styx. My original title was deleted so it looks like a PROG Thread. That was not the point obviously.

QUOTE (1-0-0-1-0-0-1 @ Jan 28 2007, 07:59 AM) RUSHHEAD, I edited your thread title. Obviously you didn't use that variation of the N word in an offensive way, but it's not a word we encourage around here, even if it's a rap group's name (NWA). If you think of something else you'd like in the title, PM me and I'll put it in. No problem! For a second I thought you guys removed the whole thing! I had a feeling it was a risky title. Nonetheless N.W.A. kicked ass back in the early Ninties. This post has been brought to you by Eazy Earl. "I'M STRAIGHT OUTTA CONCORD!" N.W.A.? I'm a N. erd W. ith A. ttitude!

I am here to offend as a drink a beer and cannot pretend. I love PROG. I can go head to toe with any of you on which group is great or which group is poop. You decide the homicide. As OZZY would say the solution is suicide. Do you vomit your intellect or do you swallow your pride? I will be the first to tell you that I hate modern HIP HOP and RAP BUT! The old school shit RULES! From Sugar Hill Gang to Grandmaster Flash, to Whodini, L.L. COOL J. RUN DMC and the BEASTIE BOYS! "I'm the leader of the show, keeping you on the go and I know I can't live without my RADIO!" Then came N.W.A. and Easy MuthaFokken E. Eric Wright. RIP Way too many women and drugs. Way too many guns and stoopid ass thugs. Has nine children with nine different women. Died of AIDS and received no praise. Anyway I love "STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON" "NIGGAZ 4 LIFE" and of course that one solo album by Eazy E, "Eazy Duz It." Come on man ICE CUBE is the shit. Made millions. Good for him. Solid actor too. I love "Boyz In The Hood." A Cultrue Classic. Caved In Cop Cars! I am sure you Rush Maniacs can relate to that rhyme. Alliteration I mean. Station To Station. That's David Bowie! Whoops! I am sure you can relate to the scene. All of that 50 Cent is bent out of shape. I hate the new school but love Whodini "Escape." Country + Rap may = CRAP But when it comes to N.W.A. It's worth the tap. Hell even Rush tried to rap on ROLL THE BONES. You can have your commercial track back while the fact remains that it's the same old game of snake eye loans. Go ahead. Make fun. Rush can't write a rap either. But they make a ton. Eazy Earl

"That Time Of The Night!" I love the FISH years but I love the Hogarth years as well. My buddy's band opened for Marillion once. Ever here of the prog band ENCHANT? Anyway I got to meet Steve Rothery. One of the most underrated guitar players on the planet. Vey nice guy too. I also got to hang out with FISH after one of his solo tours. The big funny drunk is a hoot. That's why Derek has that nickname. Becauase "He drinks like a FISH!" "Misplaced Childhood" is great too. Well shoot man, just see my "perfect album" list. "Fugazi" is the only one that lacks something. Not enough "punch, punch" I guess for Judy. I have said it on here before and I will say it again! MARILLION RULES!!!!! Ian Mosley is an underrated drummer too. FISH ON! Earl Hey, you know the dudes in Enchant! I have their 4 last CD's! It's almost 4 years since their last album, what are they up to nowadays? Hey Snowman! Yeah funny thing back in the day, I think it was for the "Presto" Tour I spent the night in line in front of Tower Records. In front of me was Doug and Paul from Enchant. Well we totally bonded over night and became friends. Even though Paul left Doug still kept things going by bringing in a new drummer. I don't know if you have that Enchant live dvd but Wendy and I were there! It was shot in on the Oakland/Berkeley border. Right on Snowman! Glad someone on here has heard of them! Excellent Bay Area Prog! Of course as you know the a lot bigger overseas. They even opened up for Dream Theater! I wish Paul had stayed in the band. Anyway Doug and the boys are writing a new record right now. It seems like it's taking forever!! Let's hope they get it done! PROG ON SNOWMAN! Earl

Oh yeah and everytime I see this cosmo icon I think of the "Sugar Mice" 12 inch vinyl cover! Cheers!

Thanks Stand.

MOTS??? Music Of The Scrubs? It doesn't surprise me that you don't care for Wolfmother. A three piece that rocks. Hmmmmmmmmmmm. I bet you woul hate new hard rock bands like: BLACK STONE CHERRY and THE ANSWER Guitar Rock is not dead. Seems like my Video Vertigo has gone Audio Rodeo.

Thanks Hunter!! I was just being my ranting self about nothing!! CHEERS! Earl

Hey I never watch TV but the wife does and she loves the show "SCRUBS" so before I put in a dvd she had to watch the last 4 minutes of the episode. Well, I was actually shocked. My dreary ears perked up because I couldn't believe what I was hearing as the credits came on tonight's show. They were playing The Decemberists!! I can't remember the song title but I love the song. Sure it's off of THE CRANE WIFE. A masterpiece. I must ramble too much on this site. Maybe I am on everyone's IGNORE LIST. Is there an IGNORE LIST on this Forum? I only belong to one other Forum in Cyberspace. Y&T baby. Yeah, that's YESTERDAY & TODAY. Dave Meniketti is a great guitar player! Who? RUSHHEAD LOVES Y&T. Peanut Butter and Gasoliine man. Off Topic!! "The Crane Wife" was almost my 2006 Album of the Year PuppetKing. Gave it to WOLFMOTHER instead! Mother? Wife? I guess there is a connection here. Strange eh? Not bad for a dude who hates Green Day. Cheers! Earl

I think the guitar work on Tai Shan is amazing. Just tune everything else out on the song and listen to Alex. I am sure that is not easy to do. Mellow song with incredible guitar work. I always loved Neil's drumming on "High Water." I am in the minority. I love those two songs.

I love being the last one on a thread that drifts off into Eternal Cyberspace. It's either lame or sweet for me. Oxymoron is my middle name!

This album is derivative of early to mid seventies hard rock a la Led Zeppelin and is not at all progressive unlike every other Rush album. I agree completely. A few good songs, but mostly completely unremarkable mid-70s hard rock. Easily my least-played Rush album. It's my least played rush album too, but it's not because it's dated more just because I like all the others that much better... You guys are crazy but that's what makes the world go around! I LOVE THAT RECORD! I play it all the time!! I can't say that any RUSH RECORD is outdated for me. Each belongs within it's own audio time capsule of when it was made. I love every record. "Time Stand Still"

Hey Mustard Death! I love your avatar! Yeah it is doom metal but isn't too boring and slow! Very Sabbath!

That's awesome man! Everyone is raving about the return of Black Sabbath with DIO called HEAVEN AND HELL but no one cares about THE SWORD. Hey it's all good. I guess I have to talk about the new Flower Kings cd or maybe GONG to get a response. Hey at least 3 people read this thread. No one cares for doom metal on this Forum? Shocked. But life goes on! Sincerely, ORANGE GOBLIN (just another good doom metal band) Hey I saw Britney's shaved beaver today. Those pictures are sick man. I can't believe she didn't wear any panties. You can see the C Section scar. Paris Hilton in the background. The world is coming to and end. Just checking to see if anyone is reading this thread. Don't worry I will not post or email you these pictures of Spears. Gross shit. Hollyweird is coming to an End. RUSH ON! BLACK SABBATH RULES!!! THE MOB RULES!

Speaking about the rebirth of doom heavy metal and Black Sabbath and Dio and all that good devil metal stuff, have you guys heard of the band from Texas called THE SWORD?? This band is HEAVY METAL THUNDER!!! FAT RIFFS AND CRUNCHY GUITARS! DISTORTED DRUMS!!!! If are in the mood to bang your head into a wall then check this album out!! METAL RULES!

QUOTE (third hand grace @ Nov 26 2006, 04:48 PM) I had all of the individual ones, but then sold those on ebay and bought the book. I have a signed/# copy. Only time I ever bought an autograph, but it was limited to 500 copies and I have one. I wish I was more business minded and pushy becuase I could easily supplement my income w/ football signatures!!! I definitely think it is a great rush item to own. with or w/o autographs. Hey Grace! I have two of the autographed versions. Luckily they were available right after I recieved my tax return so I burnt a grand. Silly but hey that's why I'm a RUSHHEAD. The 2112 Tour Book is also in the Big Black Book Lady April. Shit man, I just went to Backstage.com to see the price! 99 bucks for that thick fat RUSH TOUR BOOK???? WHAT A STEAL!!! 99 bucks plus shipping? ROLL THE BONES MAN!!! WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!!!! Earl

Anybody else on here dig the band SAVATAGE??? I love this band! RIP Chris Oliva! I know they changed their sound over the years but nothing touches their first album "SIRENS." I remember finding this lp when I was a kid at the local metal shop back in the early eighties. It was the rare first pressing with the blue background with the ship on the cover! That first song "Sirens" blew me away! The wind chimes intro with the tubular bells. "HEAVY METAL RUSH!" Well not really but SAVATAGE is yet another underrated rock band in the Big Scheme of Things! Sincerely, "Twisted Little Sister"
