  1. Also, twenty years ago Rush was probably not generating too much online revenue as compared with today. I am sure that all three of them are still making some decent spending money from online sales.
  2. If they'd kept Rutsey (and if he had lived), they'd still be touring. That's not how it would have went down. If they kept Rutsey he still would have died and Rush would have gotten a great new young drummer. Remember, Rutsey was the replaceable drummer. There is no such thing as an Irreplaceable drummer. Not according to Alex and Geddy.

  4. I never heard anything like this before. I loved it but I could not stop laughing through most of it.

    Nice YYZ Cover

    And, a couple of really cute girls playing it.
  6. Really like this guy's voice
  7. I know That guy is a 100 times better than Ringo. I know he is better than Ringo. His look and style just reminds me of Ringo. I knew someone would say that he was better than Ringo.
  8. I don't really know how anyone can come to such a conclusion. Sure, humanity has its "Tytler cycles" of struggle and prosperity, but the march has undeniably been forward toward enlightenment, productivity, compassion and decency. True, there has been some good progress In the past 100 years or so , but a lot of really really bad shit still goes on, There have always been good people but they were usually overshadowed by the horrific powers of their times.There is still much more injustice that goes on in the world than there is justice, but that is just my opinion. I think your opinion may need some review and I'll give you 1 example why. In this country (U.S.A.), when a cop shoots a black guy, it's all over the news for several days, at least. The BLM people, anti-cop people, SJWs and other groups, go into their tizzy mode, and demand justice, and talk about "they didn't have to shoot my baby", or "he was a good boy, he didn't deserve to die that way." People watch these stories on TV or read the sensationalist stories on social media, and they quite wrongly surmise that the cops are shooting black guys left and right. If they would stop and think, just for a minute, about the thousands of police/civilian encounters that take place on a daily basis, they might realize that those shootings are a tiny, tiny portion of what happens when a cop talks to a civilian for any reason. Now multiply that by all the negative news we are fed, school shootings, mass shootings, etc, vs the positive or even neutral stuff we hardly ever hear about, and you can see (maybe) how there isn't nearly as much injustice as the media would like for you to believe there is. When I was talking about injustice in the world I wasn't thinking so much of the U.S.A. or other more developed countries. It's more 3rd world countries that I was referring to.

  10. The drummer looks like what it might have been like if Ringo Starr played drums for Rush.
  11. There were actually other people on the stage playing instruments? I only noticed her.
  12. Not something I'd listen to too often but it is pretty cool.
  13. How it is in the end Distant early freeze warning You bet your life hand over fist time and motion resist war paint, armor and sword out of the cradle, stick it out, leave that thing alone Turn the page face up I think I'm going bald between the wheels Faithless hope
  14. Here is the actual screenshot of one of her posts. https://twitter.com/...charges-guests/
  15. yes as opposed to Nemesis. I fell asleep for about 15-20 minutes in the cinema watching Nemesis. Grade: F It's a lot like ST:V, a poor movie with some really good scenes. The scimitar battles are really outstanding by Trek standards. Here’s how I’d grade... ST 1: C- ST 2: A+ ST 3: C ST 4: B- ST 5: F ST 6: B+ ST 7: D+ ST 8: B ST 9: D ST 10: F Reboots...don’t care as I don’t think of them as Trek. One is ok, one is total shit, and the last is forgettable though not total garbage. I thought the first reboot was great, but after that they sorta lost me with the direction they took.
  16. You just reminded me of Alex's Rants. When I saw them for the Vapor Trails show in Montreal at one point during his rant he said "And now it's time for me to introduce the band, Neil, Geddy, Geddy, Neil." while gesturing to them as he said their names.
  17. I would say it is Rush's most beautiful song after Losing it and maybe Tears.
  18. Alex has actually been more busy than Geddy from what I have seen. He has his acting gig and does guest appearances here and there.
  19. I used to like when they opened the shows with Three Blind Mice playing in total darkness. That was pretty cool.
  20. From the looks of it, his bucket list is much bigger than most people's, Actually, this just reminded me of a thread I started as few years back.http://www.therushforum.com/index.php?/topic/96410-my-bucket-list/page__hl__%2Bbucket+%2Blist
