Years ago I swore off PC gaming for life.
I haven't missed a beat other than maybe World of Warcraft which was probably in my addictive best interests not to play anyways...
I must admit though I'd really like to check out some of the community mods out there but alas I am on PS3, the worst of the worst when it comes to Skyrim apparently.
I don't follow PC mods closely but some amazing ones I have seen are the high rez nature + clothing textures, the enhanced map, proper item sorting etc and of course the airship from Final Fantasy.

QUOTE (trenken @ Jul 3 2012, 04:52 PM) Still pissed I can sing old Rush I heard your clip and it sounded like a bag of ASS. Express you opinion of Geddy's voice all you want but get off your high horse and stop considering yourself a vocal expert just because you were brave / delusional to record yourself.

QUOTE (Storm Shadow @ Jul 3 2012, 10:18 AM) We laugh, then he pointed to me and said "and there's the only Skeletonwitch shirt at the show." 
Does Skeletonwitch have SHIRTS now with the new album artwork on them? When I saw them last winter they didn't have any new shirts yet. I was heartbroken, love the design and love the new album.

QUOTE (D3strukt @ Jul 3 2012, 06:33 AM) Necro-bump. Didn't Bethesda say originally that riding Dragons was going to be a big part of Skyrim? Not that I recall and I've been following this since Day 1.
Might still see the light of day via DLC. I don't necessarily think it would be a good idea, they'd have to go about it very carefully. What would you do? Where can you land? What kind of combat would they have? Loading landscapes and draw distances would this be feasible with the engine they built?

There's too much Rush material that isn't anywhere near "metal" at all. And that's where the metal fans slip away.
Rock, hard rock, prog rock... but not metal.It's METAL!
It's not, it's Prog Rock............okay so what other bands do you consider "heavy metal"?
No. It's prog metal.
Here are some examples of metal bands: Gorgoroth, Iron Maiden, Arch Enemy, Queensryche, Nuclear Assault, Black Sabbath, Venom, Iced Earth, Cradle of Filth, Red Fang.

HYF Metal?
Presto Metal?

Really now? !Just sayin'
MickPretty easy to list non-metal stuff.
If you were arguing The Scorpions I'm sure you would have mentioned "Holiday".
Now go listen to "Natural Science" and adjust that attitude mister!

Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio. A fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy. He hath borne me on his back a thousand times. And now how abhorred in my imagination it is! My gorge rises at it. Here hung those
lips that I have kiss'd I know not how oft. Where be your gibes
now? Your gambols? Your songs? Your flashes of merriment that
were wont to set the table on a roar? Not one now, to mock your
own grinning? Quite chap- fall'n? Now get you to my lady's
chamber, and tell her, let her paint an inch thick, to this
favour she must come. Make her laugh at that.
Or, me and the kids messing around with cameras and foam hallowe'en skulls.Great shot and Yorick is the first thing that came to mind, was going to post something to that effect but noticed you already did!

Can't wait!

First off OP, I commend you on finding a way to discuss the track as "most skippable" instead of calling it "dog shit" or some other descriptors that so many others would have used. That's a constructive way to put it.
And yes I agree with you. To me The Wreckers, despite being a decent track, is the most "skippable" on the album for me at least.

QUOTE (LyndseyG @ Jul 1 2012, 09:26 AM) QUOTE (greyfriar @ Jul 1 2012, 10:00 AM) Love the whole album. Me too.
Me three! This, although I would admit it is probably the worst example of "typical RUSH" record, this is the album that got me into Rush in the first place.
It will always "Hold" a special place in my heart, and despite it being largely mellow I honestly enjoy every last track on this one, something I cannot say for any album since, until Clockwork Angels showed up that is!

Ok well if people won't accept that all the myriad of heavy metal historians that certainly consider at least early Rush work to be metal, metal, METAL. Then here is another bit of evidence.
Neil himself came to me in a dream last night to discuss this and he considers much of the early Rush to fall into the metal genre.
He showed me an interesting tidbit from Clockwork Angels. They certainly wanted to do at least one track as a throwback to their early metal endeavors. He pulled out the original handwritten lyrics for one of tracks and showed me what the original working title was. Showed me how:
Headbang Flight
Eventually got title tweaked to:
Headlong Flight
Because Geddy wanted something a little more subtle. They both agreed that this was a great title, a little subtle homage to one of their early metal tracks Cygnus-X1.
"Headlong into mystery..."
Sorry naysayers, but that came straight from Neil's nocturnal doppelganger. Crazy dreams last night I need to go locate a coffee.

The Garden
in Rush
@OP You're a trolling moron piece of shit, don't worry though, IIWII.
This is by FAR one of the most beautiful and intricately composed pieces of work we've heard from Rush since... well... maybe since ever.
Go back to your Bon Jovi forum mister!

Smaller bands / smaller venues implies that a lesser percentage of people there have never seen the band before and also perhaps that the band may not be *awesome* enough to warrant purchasing a t-shirt.
In the metal community at least, it is a badge of honor to wear a metal shirt, whether one of the bands playing or an alternate favorite to shows. So long as it's black.
Sometimes it's a matter of having to decide which t-shirt to buy...
I'll probably do a Dethklok / Arch Enemy /Cradle of Filth type combo for that, then buy a shirt each day from my favorite performer.

So... maybe there needs to be warning labels on some albums now? Something like "Achtung! Listening to this album on high-end equipment may cause sadness and irritation!"
Am I right?

QUOTE (Yefa @ Jun 24 2012, 09:05 PM) People behind us yelled for us to sit down. A guy right behind me got more & more abusive, telling me that his wife stands all day at work. I responded that I did too (was true back then). This couple was younger than me and not physically disabled at all. I sat for the 2nd set & encore as the only way I could have shut this asshole up was to hit him in the face. I turned around when the show was over & they were already gone. Sorry that anyone has to deal with assholes like this.
I'm so mad that from this day forward, for every asshole that asks me to sit down at a rock concert? I will convince two other in front of them to stand up.

God love our mods here. They are more patient people than me for sure dealing with all the asinine morons creating shit-wipe topics like this.
I would have "Darwin-ed" at least five people the past month, and damned good riddance.
To the mods!

QUOTE (NYM86 @ Jun 26 2012, 08:57 PM) Must say, it IS a bit shocking when you look at videos from, say, the Grace Under Pressure tour. Check out this 1984 performance of New World Man:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZR-ATNh3Dto
Crystal clear articulation...I don't even think I enunciate this well when I'm speaking conversationally. So it's definitely been a big drop-off since those days, but that's nitpicking. We're lucky that they're still even recording.Nice to see you stick up for Geddy, but his articulation was a bit sloppy even in the video you provided (my favorite Rush live DVD by the way). His voice has been this way live pretty much ever he started hitting the lower register. Keep in kind that video was ~28 years ago

QUOTE (Tombstone Mountain @ Jun 27 2012, 10:36 AM) Another neighbor is to thank for my discovery of RUSH. I wish my neighbors appreciated it, I keep getting noise complaints.
Very interesting "review" you've posted I really enjoyed it.
A little constructive criticism. You really ought to post a link to whatever site you got this from so people can go check it out there as well though. People take the time to write a review, it's nice for them to see the traffic on their own site and understand how many people are reading their work, possibly make a few scheckles in ad revenue, that sort of thing.
Just copying and pasting someone elses work here isn't that cool.

Happy birthday bro! If they ever remake that "Born on the 4th of July" movie I hope they give you a cameo!
