  1. Sounds pretty entertaining in an "In Search Of..." kinda way. I'll have to check it out. About the truthfulness of the material though, I have to say this.... People once believed War of the Worlds was real too. Anything can be made to feel real with the right editing.
  2. Tried it out....didn't sense any sort of synch-up. Did make me want to watch the whole movie from beginning to end though. Havent seen it in decades. Wilder was fantastic as Wonka.

  4. I wanna say "Abercrombie" but that can't be right.
  5. when you think all they do is "sci-fi" songs.
  6. QUOTE (Rendclaw @ Jun 4 2008, 08:10 PM) Tibanna Gas, which is a key component for blasters. Sorry about the last two days, work had been kicking my ass. EDIT: What is the approximate width of the first Death Star? Honestly have no idea. I'd have to cheat and look it up. How about....the same as a "small moon"?
  7. QUOTE (Rendclaw @ Jun 2 2008, 11:52 AM) I'll come up with something tonight after work. Too slow! Okay....What is the product that is processed at the Cloud City mining facility?

(I think it's Nein BTW) It's actually 'Nien Nunb', but ya kinda gotta go lax on the rules for spelling some of those odd character names. Bobba Fett Obie Wan Hans Solo (Dunno why but THIS one just bugs me no end). So someone post a question!!! I wanna play! Go ahead! This thread has been questionless for quite a long time. Okay then......a fairly easy one. What is the name of the shuttle that Han and Chewie use to try to con their way past the Empire to land on Endor?

  10. QUOTE (lerxt1990 @ May 31 2008, 04:23 PM) Come to think of it, Eddie Murphy is pretty funny. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tsYoxQqajoc He was. He made a decent flick with Deniro a few years back, but the last film of his that was even remotely funny was Boomerang. His best years are behind him now. The trailer for his new movie "Meet Dave" makes one want to ingest broken glass with tabasco. Coming to America is classic comedy. Will never tire of watching it.
  11. QUOTE (Orbourus @ May 20 2008, 04:07 PM) Well I'll post a new question anyways... What was the title of the first original song written by Rush? extra points for who it was written by "Garden Road"? No idea who wrote it other than Ged.
  12. QUOTE (Orbourus @ May 15 2008, 03:25 PM) I find it odd that there has been no mention of Johns passing on Rush.com I would imagine that they're dealing with it privately before they decide to deal with it publicly. It was only last weekend that they lost him.

Also, you're either a people's person or you're not. He could stand up and bow to the crowd that adores him... Have actually seen him stand and wave after his solo before. Good enough for me.
  14. QUOTE (rushfr:CP @ May 15 2008, 09:13 AM) "Sounds like you might be taking this a little too personally" you meaning me?? He is not me. I was not there. I posted what "he" said.... Sorry if I confused anybody. oh ok....sorry, me bad.
  15. QUOTE (rushfr:CP @ May 15 2008, 08:59 AM) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C46rPOK4F0o and some not so flattering comments about him from a guy who was there. Funny thing.... I had no idea that Neil was going to be there. So when I was standing outside, I saw him sitting at the table in the back next to Freddy. They weren't letting people in for the 2nd set yet. So me and my lady friend were standing outside when Neil comes out to get some fresh air. He's looking right at me while he walks out the short corrodor out the front door. I say, "hey Neil" And he doesn't even flinch, look at me, nor acknowledge me. So I say, "Hows it going Neil" as he walks by me without saying a word. Treats me as if I was paparazzi or something I was like Soooouuuuu.....I just put back on my cheerful and usual smile and decide to head over to the side of the building. Right where the gas station is where he's standing next to somebody talking and I decide to introduce myself formally. I figure...hey....he's just another fellow drummer. No big deal. As I walk over towards him, some dude in a leather motorcycle riding jacket stands in front of me. Asks me if I know Neil. I was sitting there with this look on my face thinking, "who the F is this guy!!??". So I say no. Then he asks me if I'm with the press or something, again I said no. So I tell him, "Hey...I'm here for Freddys B-day. Freddy is like a grandfather to me". So the guy tells me, "well....Neils talking with one of his friends right now and I don't think he wants to be bothered". So I look at him and say, "well....ya know. I really didn't want to talk to him anyway". What an ass. Ya know...not to toot my horn, but I know some of the best drummers in the world. Some are close friends of mine. Most are usually approachable if not downright the nicest people you'll ever meet (Erskine, Bissonette, Weckl, Novak, Holmes, just to name a few). These guys would run cirles around Neil in the talent dept. But for me to get this kind of treatment at a low key (for Neils stature) gig in the middle of N. Hollywood on a wed night. Uggghhhh.....I wanted to go home and throw all my Rush albums in the trash last night. The guy who I idolized as a kid just served me one of the biggest disses that I've ever been served in years. Ya...ya....I know what you're going to say. He's a rock star and thats what he's used to getting all the time. You know what? Screw him. I could care less if he was the king of china. He's just another guy. And for him to take that cavalier attitude and put one of his riding buddies in my path to intercept me at a low key gig was just stupid. Ok....sorry for the rant. But I had to get that off my chest. Other than that. I was great hanging with Nick Vincent (an amazing drummer/one of Freddys students), Erskoman and his lovely wife, Freddy, Joey, Roger Burns (another of Freddy Students) and Gary Novak. I'm sure I'm missing a lot of other people, but there were so many people there and the music was off the hook that night. They even did a little trio accoustic guitar thing 1/2 of the 2nd set with some latin dancers in the background as well. I guess this other drum website recorded the whole evening on proshot with multiple cameras. One of the cameramen told me it'll be available on the net soon. I forget the name of it. Maybe Erskoman knows. I'll call Freddy and ask him. He might know. _________________ Working at Joes Garage has it's perks!! http://www.houseofdrumming.com/forums/view...der=asc&start=0 Sounds like you might be taking this a little too personally. Neil doesn't know you from Adam. it's well -known that he doesn't like interacting with fans much and very rarely gives interviews. Given what he's been through in the last ten years, I feel fortunate that he's continuing to make music at all. I'm not slamming you, but just try to put yourself in his shoes. He's always been something of an introverted guy and fame clearly makes him a touch uneasy ("Limelight"). After the millionth time of someone you dont know trying to strike up a conversation with you, you might also find yourself looking for the fire exit. Wait till you get famous.....you'll find out.
  16. Just read the obit. Very sad news indeed. Always a bummer when a founding member of a great band leaves us. Has there been any recent pictures of John ever released? Have always been curious to see what he looked like over the past decade or so.
