Thank you, Lorraine! A young(ish) Justin Hayward, hopefully? lol Here's a Facebook pic from a few years ago...

Howdy! I haven't been around in a while, but stopped by to share a couple songs from my prog rock project: http://www.therushfo...ect-red-planet/ Here is our band photo. Note the awesome Star Wars font. :) I'm on the left. Jim

RUSH SUCKS!

Whoops, I didn't bump it. Just making snide comments.

QUOTE (Fridge @ Apr 21 2008, 01:47 AM)Sorry, but their taste is pretty awful. I'm not boasting, but my house is almost the same size (though it didn't cost anywhere near that amount!) and is an early victorian former manse. It looks like they have striven for a more period look but have got it completely wrong. The hallway, bathroom and kittchen are ok at a stretch, but the lounge areas are unforgiveable. I am a great fan of georgian and Victorian styles, but they are way off the beam here It all just comes across as tasteless and chintzy I'm afraid You're not boasting, but you have a house, sorry early Victorian manse the size of a rock star's mansion. And you're a better interior decorator. Okay.

What a surprise, Rush fans have found something new to criticize.

Hardly worth it, but I'm bored. QUOTE (cooper77 @ Sep 7 2011, 06:03 PM)1. Another concert dvd (possible album?). Remember the every 4 album days? Basically same stuff rehashed. R30 last RUSH DVD I purchased. They won't be around that much longer, so I'll gladly buy a DVD of every tour. I would also buy DVDs of shows in my city, if available. If only we had DVDs of the Rush, FBN, CoS, 2112, AFTK, H, and PeW tours. QUOTE (cooper77 @ Sep 7 2011, 06:03 PM)2. Is this Time Machine album going to get made? And we get it, Neil Sucks. Why does this remind me of a reani14 thread?

QUOTE (ghostworks @ Sep 2 2011, 09:26 AM)the production: terrible (Rupert knew what he was doing with The Fixx, but he shaped Rush into a weird, sterile, robotic mockery of themselves - almost unforgivable) The production on RTB improved from Presto, but sadly the songwriting dropped off a bit. There's not really a bad song on Presto (still don't get the hate for Superconductor?), but RTB has three pretty weak tracks. Luckily, they rebounded big time with CP. I don't know what was going on with Presto/RTB, but even from the opening moments of CP it seems like a weight was lifted off Rush's shoulders. My cover band played a few corporate events where we were told "don't play too hard" or "try to hold back a bit." This is the impression I get from the Rupert Era, especially Presto, like Rupert was telling Rush to restrain themselves in their playing. This plus the thin, trebly sounds on P/RTB was not a great combo.

QUOTE (micgtr71 @ Sep 1 2011, 05:18 PM)This was the crack in the wall for me. I tried to give Superconductor a fair try, but when I heard Face Up, I allowed myself to dislike a Rush song. I never wanted to and I never thought that it would happen (hell, I even like Tai Shan). This song, however, paved the way for a short list of songs by Rush that I do not like. Tai Shan and High Water were the first new Rush songs that were a letdown, but I didn't DISLIKE them. So for me, too, Face Up was the first Rush song I actually disliked, after becoming a fan in about 1984. Thanks, Rupert! My "short list" would be: Face Up Neurotica You Bet Your Life Test For Echo Dog Years Virtuality (Very borderline: Tai Shan, Totem, Limbo, Freeze)

This is September 1st not April 1st, so you must be serious. Face Up is on my very short list of disliked Rush songs, which also includes Neurotica and especially You Bet Your Life. The Choir Of Rupert backing vocals just ruin Face Up for me.

QUOTE (Jaminbenb @ Sep 1 2011, 10:33 AM)Rick and his tech had the manuals out on one of his keyboards and was trying to figure something out, They were probably trying to figure out how to get rid of those cheesey presets that Rick used on ABWH. Seriously, ABWH has not aged well for me, mostly due to those thin-sounding digital keys. (Actually, Rick's keyboard choices seemed to become questionable even way back on Tormato.) ABWH just doesn't click with me for some reason. On paper it should be great, with that lineup and production by Chris Kimsey (Marillion). But I just listened to it last week, and can't recall anything too memorable. I'll give it another shot this weekend. I do remember Teakbois.
