Rushman14

Great prog metal band Britain, Surprised I haven't heard more talk about them on this board.

 

Check it out

my dad and used to bond over Twilight Zone. It was the best

 

Fleabag on Amazon. Hilarious breaking of the fourth wall.

This show cleaned up at the Emmys, deservedly. Very clever.

 

yep im binging it right now. Very funny.

Very good wrap up to the Marvel movies of the last 10 years. Kind of long for one sitting. I watched it over 2 nights

 

Tim always keeps a box of Kleenex next to his Rickenbacker, which I find suspect.

I really have grown to love the album. It is undeniably Tool. They didn't get outside their element for sure. But the music, especially the drums and bass, are over the top good and the production quality is perfect.

 

Got my tickets for November. I can't wait.

 

As an album that you play through from start to finish, I definitely like it better than 10,000 Days. I miss not having at least one snappy shorter song like "Vicarious" but that's a minor quibble.

 

I downloaded the album from HD Tracks. Hi-res flac files. It sounds phenomenal on my home theater system.

 

I'm definitely diggin' it but I need a road trip so I can really take the time to listen in it's entirely.

It was great hanging with you guys for my 60th and final show

 

Man...seeing that pic really makes it burn that I passed on attending.

 

 

Why man why did you pass?

I enjoyed it

 

Wow, i havent seen all the Star Wars movies .......but i wont miss this one. Will i be lost if i didnt see all the others ?

 

Which ones haven't you seen?

 

Most of the newer ones...i should catch up.

 

Yes, you should familiarize yourself with the new cast: Rey, Ben (Kylo Ren), Finn, Poe Dameron, BB-8, et al.

 

The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi take place about 30 years after Return of The Jedi. The Empire has lost its stranglehold over the Galaxy, but the remaining forces form The First Order, which seeks to create a new empire and crush the Galactic Republic and Resistance once and for all.

 

and don't listen to the Last Jedi haters. It was great.

I think the shorter format of a series is a good idea in terms of continuing Star Wars.

 

 

Now that the Skywalker story is coming to a close, many fans (especially the older ones) will walk away after Episode IX has its run. Going to the cinema to see a Star Wars film may lose its lustre.

 

I think you are under estimating Star Wars fandom. I am not that big of a Star Wars geek and I'm not walking away after IX. I'm 57.

Despite owning the R40 blu-ray and all the other videos containing the truly hilarious intermission clips they mashed together, I still thoroughly enjoyed this! The new interviews were quite good and with more substance. and the side stories were interesting. Mostly, though, it was a testament to the enormous amount of footage that was captured at the time of the R40 tour. As a result, there were not just different angles, but a whole different look much of the time, not to mention the hilarious soundcheck footage, as well as the artistic superimposing of image and sound while keeping a cohesive narrative!!

It's also worth mentioning that my wife, who is not a Rush fan per se, quite enjoyed it. Interesting to see what they have in store for us next year...

 

Are you saying it was kind of a re-edit or that they used different R40 footage? If that's the case then I'm definitely in on the DVD.

 

Both. It was a mixture of footage from the R40 home video release, alternate R40 footage, and a different editing style. I really like the editing style, wish they'd redone the entire concert that way.

 

The editing definitely felt more cinematic

Never watched the R40 DVD so it was awesome to see it on the big screen with the killer sound system. And Losing It was SO GOOD!!!

 

it reminded me of the old days of seeing Song Remains The Same in the theater.

The final episode was phenomenal. But I have to say, that opening flashback is the single most distressing and disturbing scene I've yet scene. Were those disabled women and babies being loaded onto a truck to be torn apart by dogs?

 

Last 3 episode were epic, and yes that opening scene was very dark.

3 thumbs up for me :)

R. to l.: Tom Healey, Tombstone, Gina, ?, Grey, Rushman

 

I forget his member name...

It was great hanging with you guys for my 60th and final show

This movie is just f***ing amazing.

 

YES.

 

The sequel wasn't a masterpiece but I thought it was really good.

what a waste of an episode last night

 

I didn't find it a waste entirely, but...I felt a little like we may have just watched the worst episode yet. Not everything worked (Serena gets cut and...just walks away?).

 

with the limited amount of episodes, this seemed like filler.

Yeah I prefer the METAL version of Queensryche, the first two albums and the EP.

 

The EP through Promised Land is all you need. They feel off a cliff worse than any great band ever did after that.

 

Agree with this. There are one or two songs off subsequent albums that I agree with.

what a waste of an episode last night

The character work remains superb. There's a bit of Game-of-Thrones style decline, though, as the show runners contrive situations that seem to flow inconsistently with per-established narratives.

 

I'm having trouble with the idea that Canada or anywhere else in the west would feel pressured by Gilead to do anything. How many fronts would Gilead open? They're already at war, and the earlier presumption has been that the United States is giving a good fight. Good enough that Canada has felt no qualms at accepting refugees. Now we're to accept that Canada and the West feel Gilead is too powerful to face?

 

And filming themselves in a light that offends the nations they are imploring for help is nonsensical. I don't believe Gilead would be flaunting the very thing Canada et al find offensive as they plea for the return of a single infant.

 

Canada feeling pressure would have been a great storyline if it hadn't already been established that they felt no pressure.

 

A lot of other dramatic conveniences exist as well- Nick's rank's a bit high, June escapes all the hardest punishments, Fred is teased with grand rewards right after being sunk to embarrassing depths, etc.

 

The writing isn't tight anymore.

 

But the character work is still BRILLIANT.

 

I still love the show, I just worry about it.

 

agreed. this season is starting to show some cracks but I am still loving it. I just hope it never gets GOT season 8 bad.

I've seen every Priest Tour since "Turbo" and I got to tell ya last night's Priest show at the intimate Warfield in San Francisco totally kicked my ass! It was the greatest set list I have ever seen by this iconic METAL BAND! Halford is a GOD! I don't know how the hell he can still do "Victim." I had chills down my spine and small tears in my eyes. Blew my fcukkkgking mind away. Richie has given this band the "FIREPOWER" that they need to continue for another ten more years around the sun. He is like KK meets Randy Rhoads. Richie blows Michael Schenker away.

 

 

Uriah Heep destroyed the place too. My first time seeing them and my GOD THEY KICKED MY METAL ASS TOO! They have this drummer who looks like Kenny Aronoff on HGH! The guy is one of the heaviest hitting drummers I have have ever seen in my life! I hope the Heep come back next year and do a headlining tour! I was lucky enough to get "Rainbow Demon" last night! A 1972 classic!!

 

JUDAS FUCKKING PRIEST RULES!!!!!!!!! IRON MAIDEN needs to take some notes from PRIEST!

Glad you had fun Earl! :cheers: :clap:

 

Thanks Pat! It truly was the greatest Priest show I have ever seen!! Blew the first leg of "Firepower" away!!!!! But of course even that was mind-blowing then!!!

 

I love that Priest would rather play two nights in an intimate venue rather than do an arena for one night. Could you imagine seeing Iron Maiden at The Warfield for three nights?

 

More note taking for Bruce.

Was it the setlist you liked better or was it a better performance?

 

Did you see them with Saxon last time? Who was better Saxon or Uriah Heep?

 

This was definitely a setlist for the fans! Starbreaker are you kidding me?! I also enjoyed Uriah Heep more than Saxon.
