    An Assessment Of Future Touring Prospects

    in On The Lighted Stage

    Posted

    A couple things: it's wonderful to see Geddy out and about pursuing his passions. I don't know, but to me it's curious he's shopping with his bass tech. Does Scully live there and they were just hanging out? Who knows... But it seems interesting regardless. I don't think there's any doubt Geddy and Alex want to play. At least they did last fall. The demand would be HUGE overseas, and they could play probably a dozen or more dates in the US/Canada too. Neil is the wild card. But after reading his book and seeing TSS, I would be shocked if he ever plays live again. I'd love to be wrong. There's also no hints on Twitter either. So I'd say Geddy will play at the induction ceremony or will just make a solo record.

    I hope for more solo material, especially from Alex. Would be cool if he and Rik Emmett did a whole release.

    How to become a Rush fan for life

    in Rush

    That was an awesome read. Re: Moving Pictures "Skip track 5. You're not ready" Hilarious

     

    I think it's a good guide. I heard a bunch of Rush songs for the first time through Chronicles. I went Moving Pictures, Exit Stage Left, Signals, then Chronicles.

     

    Funny how the instructions were to get Caress of Steel last. Very true. If you get that first or early in the process, you could be screwed. It will leave you saying WTF if you listen before you're ready haha

    I bought CoS early on and loved it. At that time however, Rush was only up to MP. This being said, I was given AFTK and Hemi on vinyl as my first Rush releases. I heard other material on the radio (i.e. Spirit, TS, FBN, etc...). I bought Archives as my first though.

    I archive them for review, yeah. I wish we were allowed to stream them.

    You should join up with The Dividing Line Broadcast Network. http://www.thedividingline.com/

     

    I'm friends with some of the Dividing Line folks... same with House Of Prog.

     

    The problem is: my show is not prog-exclusive and I refused to market it that way. That said, maybe they'd consider.

    Underdog Prog is not Prog exclusive either. Mary plays tunes people request among scheduled and non-scheduled Prog.

    Old Brown Shoe - George Harrison

    in Music Of The Spheres

    Posted

    I'd like to pay special attention to my favorite George Harrison as a Beatle song.

     

    He loved this somewhat rousing Dylanesque piece. He played the bass track on the song, unusual and he first hammered out its beginnings on the piano, also unusual.

     

    I didn't discover this awesome tune until it had been out for six years or so, first heard it off hey jude (the compilation of previously released non album and b side singles).

     

    Love this song.

    It sucks. He has much better material.

    Oh, hey, I'm new.

    Hi, I'm Floyd, but I don't mind if you call me Faure. I've been a Rush fan since about June of last year, but they've become my favourite band. I've got a majority of their stuff on vinyl and a few of bootleg CDs. Albeit, two of them are turkeys.

     

    I enjoy films and video games a lot. When it comes to both of those things, I tend to stick to the classic stuff, but I do enjoy some modern day material. Don't have any laserdiscs for movies, but there are some VHS tapes down in the basement (probably taped over though, I don't think we even have a VHS player anymore) and I own a few Gameboy, NES, and Sega Genesis games.

     

    In my spare time, I write and I do a lot of art. Pretty sure the sides of my notes for practically all of my classes have more drawings than in my sketchbooks.

     

    Some bands and musicians I like outside of Rush include The Beatles, Humble Pie, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Emerson Lake and Palmer, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Journey, Van Halen, Yes, Mötley Crüe, and The Bay City Rollers. unfortunately

    this is what I can do in like, under a minute. I do serious stuff, I swear.

    Welcome. You may find yourself liking a band called Porcupine Tree of you like harder Prog Rock.

    Geddy will play Roundabout

    in Rush

    Posted

    Well if Yes is performing then who'll play Squire's part?? Ged's the perfect choice and he'll be there anyway.. maybe he'll decide to do it now that this rumour got our hopes up..

     

    Billy Sherwood. He's been playing bass for them for a couple of years now, and was in the band a while back. It's not like they don't have a bass player. While it would have been cool to see Geddy play with Yes, Billy is more than capable of playing all of Chris's parts.

    Bite your tongue! Ged is better.

     

    Where in my response did I even hint that Billy is better than Geddy? I was merely pointing that Yes does have a bassist, in response to the question of who will play bass for them at the ceremony.

    Infers Sherwood is better at playing the parts. Ged could readily and effectively play the parts.

    Just because

    Actually, I've never seen or heard of her before until now.

    She is an incredible musician.
