QUOTE (Cavorticus @ Jul 23 2007, 11:26 AM) I was working backstage on Saturday (7/21/07) and after the show ended, Neil Peart actually sprinted from the stadium. Not ran; sprinted. What the heck is up with that? A. Diarrhea B. Had to pee C. Family emergency D. Total dick I watched Neil Sprint to the bus in 1984 in Pittsburgh after the GuP show...I also saw at different times Alex and Geddy walk to the bus...Neil sprinted...as soon as someone recognised him ( and Yelled "hey it's NEEEEEEELLL) from afar ( coming ou of the Civic Arena) he took off for the bus... I think he dislikes the attention

"Brrrrfffftttt" unheard sound at 1:19 of 'we hold on' ...Alex breaking wind which causes Neil to slip on the pedal a bit while laughing and anticipate the beat....causing the slight problem at 1:20...

QUOTE (paganoman @ May 3 2007, 12:33 PM) Like the other Great Sounds... thread in the Rush forum, let's list all of those tiny and otherwise 'hidden' sounds or moments that would probably escape the casual listener. Please... don't give me "The entire solo section of TWWB". Let's do it this way (like the glitch thread for We Hold On, and the guitar sound for Spindrift): Song: Specific description of sound: Time: I'll go first. Song: The Main Monkey Business Desc.: this wooden 'ridged' percussion sound. Would anyone know the name of the wooden instrument this seems to be? Time: 1:40 and again at 4:39 I believe that is either a ratchet ( percussion device used in classical music) or a guiro...I am leaning twoard the ratchet right now.

I think to many people worry abou twhether or not they would like to sit down and have Neil over for a Beer....whether or not he would agree with all their viewpoints in life....I believe that all artists have the right to express themselves musically, visually, lyrically and artistically....Neils statements about faith seem to be his view....I say enjoy the art...enjoy the music...have your own views but if Neil does not want to come over for a beer....deal with it.

oh boy....!
