  1. I listened to the song again and here is my prediction: Typical troll comments... I don't like the bass tone. Too much vocal layering. Not enough melody. The lyrics don't rhyme. Can't make out the bass drums. The guitar should be higher in the mix. The song is over-compressed. Not enough guitar solo. Old Rush good, new Rush bad. Tom Sawyer is still better. My only comment? Needs more cowbell!!
  2. The tune totally kicked my a** Rush is going to destroy us all on this tour. RUSH ROCKS!!
  3. Love it!! side note: Track skippers are tremendously lame no matter the band, no matter how crappy the song is. They must be Ipod owners. As is hitting random on a CD is also lame. But it is their choice to be a control freak nut job, so I can respect their choice, but not the decision. I choose to listen to the whole album whenever I listen to an album. If track skippers always skip a song they did not like the first time, how can they ever appreciate it twenty years later after skipping Dog Years and Tai Shan all this time? There is so much within songs that skipping tunes is a dis-service to the skipper, Captain.

    I'm a huge fan of Rush and anything Nick R does to fire them up is fine with me. I loved SnA, the songs, and the mix. I especially enjoy the way Geddy sings instead of squaking like in the 70's. I do enjoy the Geddy choir as well. I can't wait for CW. Old Rush great, new Rush better!!!
  5. My guess it will be when the CW Tour Dates are announced.
  6. I just knew that Rush would come through with some rocking tunes. Can't wait for the release in June and the radio edit soon. A great time to be a hardcore Rush fan that DOES NOT HIT THE SKIP BUTTON!!
  7. Pound of Obscure, I beg to differ on your opinion of good songs. Some songs by any artist out there are immediately accessible and catchy right off the bat. Sometimes cuts that are often more complex and deep require multiple listens to understand and hear everything that is going on. My first listen of any new CD is just to give it a run through to let me hear it without analysis. Since it is new to me, I just take it in as a whole. Upon later listenings I am able to hear more of the individual instruments, rhythms and lyrics which begin to open up the song more to me. It really bothers me when people listen to any CD just one time and then make a full judgement on its quality at that point. Regardless, the new Rush will rock out and I can't wait to jam it out.
  8. Hey folks, no need to speculate, it's Rush and it will rock...that is what they do and what they have always done. They know this could be their last LP and certainly made it a point to play music they love and if they do that, I will be blown away. Why do you think they did the Time Machine? Why do you think they played Moving Pictures? To roll back the clock and kick our collective asses. Bring it on!!! Also read a few minutes ago that Caravan and BU2B were re-recorded. I lift things up and I put them down!
  9. This is the lamest and stupidest thread ever.
  10. I saw this commercial the past few nights on TV and had to share. I totally laughed at the announcer and the way he pumps up "RUSH". I don't know how to link here, but if you want to check it out you need to: 1. Enter this into your computer. http://www.polarisindustries.com/en-us/sno...w-Products.aspx or just search for "Polaris snowmobiles" then click on the one that says "Polaris Snowmobiles official site" then go to the lower left of the page and look for "Experience" and click on Videos 2. Click on the "2012 Polaris RUSH - Launch Video" that is located one down and one to the right of the top. have fun!! Has anybody seen this on TV? I wish I had the cash, especially since it is a 2012 model Bring on CA

    suggestions!

    Some people get it, some don't. It's easier if you are trying to turn someone on to the music if they find out for themselves. Exit Stage Left is my conduit for that.
  12. Is there a link to the extra downloadable content in the box purchased from Amazon? I don't have a Guitar Center nearby.
  13. I wonder if the vinyl album has the same issues...
  14. About 5 minutes after I read this thread, 5:01pm EDT today, our secretary was forwarding a call to me and I was blowing it off. She stomped into my door and told me to pick up the phone, it was a lady asking for an estimate. I was being a pill, but I picked up the call. She wanted a Land Survey for a parcel in Richfield Twp, MI. I got the info from her, searched the address and the lot is in a plat called "Supervisor's Plat of Pratt Acres". How about that!?!?
  15. Sweet videos, did you get Working Man? last tune of the tour. The outro gave me chills when Geddy waved. You must see/hear what he said...kinda funny and hopeful for future visits. Sektaran has it on YTub.
  16. Paul is a Canadian and I doubt he dislikes Rush.
  17. If you are going to a Rush fansite and reading or posting, you are a fanboi, plain and simple thank you. Fanbois go beyond just enjoying the music. Trolls are actually fanbois in denial that they are fanbois.
  18. Sweet videos Jesse2112. Just like I remember seeing them...thanks. The sound is great too! You were 5 rows up from me. EPIC SHOW!
  19. We had a great time, way better than Toledo. I took my buddy Mike who last saw Rush in 1976 at the Michigan Palace in Detroit when KISS opened up for Rush...or was it the other way around? This show was insane, best show yet for me. The band was so full of energy and the crowd was really into it. Well Detroit IS the home of Rock-n-Roll. We were side stage Geddy side only 5 rows up and had The Professor aiming right at us. Geddy and Alex were hamming it up and really heavy all night Thanks again to Rush Presale for the great tickets. Now bring on Clockwork Angels and the next tour please.
  20. The videos start 15 minutes after show time indicated on ticket. Toledo was at 7:45pm.
  21. I think I will wear a turtleneck, throw it in the trash can once I walk in the arena and buy the coolest shirt they have at the swag booth and break in the shirt properly. I can't wait...its friggin FRONT ROW!!! Last night we went to see Mike Watt and the Missingmen at the Magic Bag in fashionable Ferndale...front row of course! Now that was an incredible show with the three guys just 5 feet from me . Mike Watt was the bass player from The Minutemen from the mid 80's with George Hurley on drums and the immortal D. Boon on guitar and vocs, may he rest in peace.
  22. I must be turning into a fanboi from hanging out here . I've been waiting 30 years to be in the front row center like I will be for the Toledo show next Wednesday April 13th (thanks to Rush Pre-Sale). Usually I don't give a hoot what I wear, but obviously this is no doubt going to be a special night . I don't want to be a distraction to the band by wearing a day glo orange shirt or a rainbow wig. I am leaning towards my Rush R30 baseball jersey or the one with the Bunny and the stars from Presto I believe...or should I go a completly different direction. What would you wear if you were up front?
  23. For how much $$$ ? Just curious... I'll be side stage Row 5 Geddy side. This should be an awesome and loose show coming right after the DVD filming.
  24. Jeez people, stop worrying your tickets will soon be printed and in the mail. My tickets for April 6 Toledo are on the way per musictoday e-mail. Its just the a-hole scalpers that are sweating it out since these are fan club tickets in theory...though we all know the majority of these tickets go to ticket resellers out there to make a buck on the "real" fans. Please do not support scalpers. Rock on!
  25. Good idea to bump this thread!! Just off the top of my head: Two you probably have not heard of: Din Within - Awaken the Man The Minutemen - Double Nickels on the Dime These you may already have: The Beatles - Yesterday and Today The Beatles - Revolver The Beatles - Rubber Soul Iron Maiden - Powerslave Black Sabbath - Heaven and Hell oh and of course Rush - Grace Under Pressure
