Snaked

There was an interview at some point in the 80's where Geddy said he would never bring back the double Ricky. It's simply too heavy and uncomfortable.

I've been seing these guys live since Moving Pictures and don't recall seeing it. Some where this got asked, if they play A Passage to Bangkok and Xanadu will the double neck rick come out? They both used them last on the Moving Pictures tour. I'm glad I got to see it. It was so iconic at the time. Alex used a doubleneck on the CP tour. ETA: And on R30 https://youtu.be/i3SSpmlPSI4

I've been seing these guys live since Moving Pictures and don't recall seeing it. Some where this got asked, if they play A Passage to Bangkok and Xanadu will the double neck rick come out? The double neck Ricky has been retired... as in permanently. If you saw the MP tour you saw the double Ricky. Ged used it on Xanadu that tour for sure (See the ESL video for proofz). ETA: 11:48 of this video you can see Ged's left hand on the 12 string neck and you can see him strum a chord right before hitting a key on the keyboard. https://youtu.be/6ker-C8FE2c ETA2: 8MM boot from Chicago on the MP tour.. go to 9:40ish

I'm considering ordering the regular version.. just not sure if I want to drop $100 right now.

$1000????? I was thinking maybe $250 as I was reading the description. UGH!!!

Michael Schenker(Lead Guitar) Sebastian Bach(Vocals) Bob Kulick(Rhythm Guitar) Tony Franklin(Bass) Eric Singer(Drums) I actually like it

What is the purpose of this thread when there is already another thread with an active discussion? If you want to know if this setlist is real, read the responses in the other thread.

What a bloody trainwreck that band has become.

I met a fan dancer Down in south side of Birmingham.... I actually really like Huey/Hornsby's JL :D

I can tell you from the opening nights I've been to that it is indeed fun to be standing there going "WOAH! They're playing THAT?!?!?" But at the same time it's kinda nice to know when the first set is going to end so you can get a beat on the rest of the crowd to the restroom :P

There are a whole lot of very memorable shows for various reasons. The first one that comes to mind is Scranton on the VT tour. 2nd night of the tour. I was watching the setlist as it was posted online from Hartford opening night and I just couldn't *hear* it in my head so I got into my car around 3AM and drove 8+ hours to Scranton so I could see the show. I was quite surprised that I was among those who had a tear in their eye during Tom Sawyer. It hit me hard that it wasn't all that long before that night that none of us had any idea if we'd ever see RUSH again.

It'll be a medley. They already opened with Finding My Way on R30 so possibly the main riff of Working Man to start it out... then again, FBN as the first of the medley would pretty much light the house on fire.

The real travesty of that little *event* is that Mitch Mitchell is losing badly to AVH. M.M. isn't a household name. The average person has no idea he was Jimi's drummer.

Virtuality - Dog Years - YBYL are the 3 that would piss me off teh most. Followed fairly closely by Stick it Out.

Hemispheres I've always loved side 2 but it took decades for me to *get* side 1. Now it's a rock solid top tier album with no apologies.

BJ fans. And there are a lot of BJ fans. Most of them are female with big hair. (take my comment any way you want to....)

I stopped counting at 100. That was on S&A. So somewhere around 130 now.

That list is incorrect and all you have to do is look at #1 to know it. Tom Sawyer has NOT been played 100% .... it should be 99.805% :P (Quebec City 2013 was cut short due to weather).

Title of the thread: "It grows on you" My first thought: "Like fungus" :P

The proper comment would have been "I think you went bald!" ....like 35 years ago :P

A new one from PRS http://www.prsguitars.com/sealexlifeson/photo7.jpg

I'm really not feeling well today thus I haven't been able to make it through too much of the album yet. But I am disappointed that Floor seems to be on a very short leash. Maybe a little deeper on the album she'll show some more range/power but thus far she could be just about any well trained singer :(

Allan and Howard both have the full rehearsal list and are preparing production for all the songs that *might* make the tour. The setlist itself wont be finalized until the last week (if not the last day) before the tour starts. Allan is dealing with all the video crap... Howard is taking care of the full light and stage production (actually, by this time Howard has already designed the full lighting rig and all the major parts of the staging).

I don't get this thread at all. I've met MP many times and he's never been anything but cool... at least to me.

My first poll.. hope I did it right! Let's see where this one goes. 2 very different songs.. but also similar in many respects. The solos from each are widely considered among Alex's best work.
