  1. Yeah, what I've heard so far, I've really enjoyed! Then again, I've liked everything (outside of St. Anger) that they've done!! Either way, I can't wait to hear the entire thing tomorrow!!
  2. QUOTE (rushgoober @ Jul 18 2008, 10:38 AM) I think he's absolutely hilarious and elevates any movie he's in. He can't make a bad movie great, but he can make a bad movie less bad. He can make a good movie great. What he said. 100% Agreed...Will is hillarious. Obviously, alot of you seem to be looking for too much out of his movies. They're simple and funny. I like that.

Just wondering if anyone watches HELL'S KITCHEN? I've been watching it since Season 1, and love it. I'm a huge fan of the show, and basically, anything Gordon Ramsay does. Ramsay is an awesome Chef...and clearly knows his stuff. He goes a bit over the top in HK, but it definitely adds spice to the show. He always makes me laugh anyways!! "WHERE'S THE BEEF???" (PS. Matt has to go...NOW! ) I watched this show once and came to the conclusion that Gordon Ramsay is a f*cking punk. I don't give a hoot in hell who you are, you don't publicly humiliate people like that. There is no justification for doing it. None! Someone needs to kick Ramsay's ass, and I'm not talking about a couple of punches, I'm talking about a broken jaw and maybe a couple day's hospital stay. I'm sorry, but I think that shows like Ramsay's appeal to the dark side of human nature. You should be outraged over the way he treats people, not entertained by it. Yikes...I didn't mean to stir the pot. I just love cooking, love the Food Network, and love watching any and all shows associated with cooking and restaurants. Yes...he does ridicule people a lot on the show, but I feel it's mainly nothing more than for ratings. To me, it's no different than the crap we watch in other TV shows and movies everyday. BTW...if you watch KITCHEN NIGHTMARES, you'll see a much different side of Ramsay. He is much different on that show than HK. It's OK, man. One of my rigidly-adhered-to-one-hundred-percent-non-negotiable principles is that you praise in public and reprimand in private. Anyone who doesn't tends to instantaneously get on my bad side. It's because I've been publicly reprimanded in the past by immature/stupid employers (and I very nearly punched them). In fact one time the guy noticed the look on my face and backed off. He asked me later what the problem was and I told him. He immediately changed his ways and and adopted the above-mentioned policy and to this day we're good friends. No worries...I really do understand your views! It's great that this person changed themselves for the better. I've had a boss that treated me like garbage. Luckly though...I no longer work there, or with him. Anyways...
  6. QUOTE (fs2112 @ May 14 2008, 09:46 AM) terrible news. he probably was a guy with a lot of class and integreity. he couldve capitalized on rush's popularity and written a few books about the early years of rush, or gone on a few talk shows to gossip about geddy and alex. he couldve even recorded a few solo albums in 82 or 83 when rush was becoming very popular. instead, he did the classy thing and stayed out of rush's fame. RIP JR. That is very true. Probably one of the finest quotes ever written on this board. We all forget that while a lot of former band members from other bands tend to capitalize from their former mates, Mr. Rutsey bowed out from Rush gracefully, and never held any hostilities against the band. Clearly, he was a very gracious and unselfish man. He really does deserve the respect of every Rush fan.
  7. Also, I don't consider myself crazy for being entertained by innocent shows like this, when the only movies seemingly coming out these days lean towards torture, killing, rape, and so forth. If you ask me...that's a sad excuse for so called "entertainment". I'm sorry...I just enjoy HK. I really do apologize if others are offended by it. I just started this thread to see if others liked it as well. That's all.

  10. Very shocked. RIP John. Thank you for being part of what started it all.
  11. XANADU But...this was by far the toughest song battle thus far. These are probably both in my Top 10 list. GREAT SONGS!
  12. GRACE UNDER PRESSURE Amazing album cover...IMO.
  13. I cannot believe that this topic has generated 8 pages without the following name ever coming up: ALANIS MORRISETTE My apologies to anyone who enjoys her singing, but I find it plain terrible. Her name is easily the top one on my list.
  14. With constant rumours of a Led Zeppelin reunion tour, it got me thinking of who exactly people would be more interested in seeing... So, in a showdown of arguably two of the greatest bands in history, which of these two bands would you rather see if you could only see one, for one show? Zeppelin or Floyd? Why?
  15. QUOTE (Henri @ May 4 2007, 10:38 AM) Everyday Glory intro = the theme music from melrose place please don't tell me i am the only one who can hear a similiar tone Okay...we are in the same area of thinking! But...I always said that the intro to Everyday Glory resembles the opening theme to... WINGS!!! Anybody with me here??
  16. QUOTE (paganoman @ May 8 2007, 09:18 PM) QUOTE (Gompers @ May 7 2007, 09:19 PM) I think its cool how Ged almost sounds like he is loosing his voice in a couple songs. I think Good News First is the most obvious. Gompers your sig pics of the boys are awesome!! To me it's obvious, but I wonder how many people know exactly what Geddy is singing at that moment, and what drum roll Neil is playing. Alex is also rocking in time. I am almost positive that Neil is in the midst of one of his YYZ mini-solos!! That would be my guess for sure!

Anyway, I wanted to give a high recommendation for the movie Blades of Glory. There are some stupid jokes and some parts that drag a little, but mostly it's really funny, and there are parts that are ridiculously hilarious. I know I'll see this many times over the years... If you like movies like Zoolander, The 40 Year Old Virgin, Wedding Crashers and the like, you'll enjoy this one for sure. I hate Will Ferrell. It's a matter of taste. A talentless hack for sure. For damn sure. I think he's probably the funniest person alive at the moment. WOW! There is a real hate-on for Farell here huh?! Well...I'm with Goober completely. Will Farrell is freakin' hillarious, and so is this movie. I'm sorry, but if you haven't seen this movie yet, you should not be saying anything negative about it. It's funny, and that's all I can say. How can people set such high standards for comedy?? Can you Farrell-haters please suggest your favourite comedy movies?? I would love to know what kind of stuff makes you laugh!! (PS. 40-Year-Old Virgin was hysterical...one of the funniest movies I've ever seen)
  19. QUOTE (rushman14 @ Apr 18 2007, 06:45 PM) that honor goes to Queensryche "Operation:Mindcrime" EXCELLENT CALL! That might just be my pick instead...unbelivable album that everyone should own!!
  20. QUOTE (Batman @ Apr 18 2007, 09:09 AM) No Back in Black is. Back In Black is unbelivably perfect. I'd also give a nod to Metallica's 'Black Album'. This is an outstanding album whether you like Metallica or hate them. Last I heard, it actually replaced Back In Black as the best-selling 'metal' album of all-time.
  21. AMAZING ALBUM!!! http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/53/Queensr%C3%BFcheEmpire.jpg
  22. WOW...there are TONS of sounds that I absolutely love in POWER WINDOWS!! MARATHON - the bridge/solo is absolutely incredible. Still gives me goosebumps to this day...I love the synths during this section, just unbelivable build-up to the solo in my opinion TERRITORIES - again, the bridge section is fanastic. The part that leads into the "We shoot without shame...". That part sounds so dark, and Ged's bass line is brilliant. It really captures the dark emotion that I think Neil was getting at with his lyrics MIDDLETOWN DREAMS - Al's solo is short, but incredible; the 'slower' part that follows the solo is an awesome change of pace! This is a Rush specialty IMO. EMOTION DETECTOR - the whole intro to this song is awesome! It always gives me shivers...and it absolutely sets the tone for the whole song. Awesome playing by all 3 of the boys. MYSTIC RHYTHMS - that little section following the second chorus (just before Ged's "OH, OH"). I can't depict whether those are synths or guitar notes...but that whole feeling along with Neil's fills are awesome! ANIMATE - the bridge section ("My Counterpart...") has some of Neil's greatest work. This part blows me away everytime I hear it! LEAVE THAT THING ALONE - Neil's drum fill at 3:16...AWESOME!! LOCK AND KEY - opening synths...mixed with Neil's drums kicking in. Nice and powerful! AFTERIMAGE - synths during the bridge, and leading into one of Al's best solos! This part sounds so emotional...and is among their best work in regards to portraying the true emotion of the song. RED LENSES - the bridge section after the second chorus...that 'dance' beat section...Neil has some incredible drumming going on here; awesome work! SUBDIVISIONS - the whole intro kicks serious arse!! Enough said. ...that's it for now!! Too many!
  23. Without question...VAN HALEN I I've said it before, and I'll say it once more... Van Halen I is the greatest debut album of all-time by any band. The album is stacked from top to bottom... AIN'T TALKIN' 'BOUT LOVE - perhaps the single greatest opening riff of all-time RUNNIN' WITH THE DEVIL - not my favourite VH song, but no-one can argue the commercial success that it was (and still is) on the radio. It's a radio staple...and really helped push the album sales I'm sure. ERUPTION - need I say more?! OUTSTANDING! LITTLE DREAMER - the album's hidden gem...an amazing tune! Ironically, I'm actually a HAGAR fan myself. Dave was a better showman and entertainer, but Sammy is by far the better singer! That, and I love how he brought a more serious side to VH. Naturally though, you can't mess with what's perfect, and VHI is perfect!!
  24. LOL...well, after reading all of the posts on here, I was skeptical about saying my piece. But, I love discussing Rush, so I will. I am one of the few that believes the header of this thread. I personally believe that Out of The Cradle and Peaceable Kingdom are the two weakest tracks on the album. (lol...here come the flamers! ) I don't know why...but these two songs just haven't 'HIT' me yet like every Rush song does at one point. I guess they are late bloomers with me...because I honestly like every Rush song. I too, think VT is very consistant as an album overall. These two songs are no different...as I like them also, but I certainly don't rank them among the best on VT. I can say that with ease, which is generally tough with Rush songs in general. All I am saying is that if someone asked me to name the top 10 tracks on VT, both 'Cradle' and 'Kingdom' would NOT make my list! Now...off I go to try and re-discover these two tracks!!
