Holding grudges is never a good thing. I have gotten in arguments with plenty of people in this forum and we exchanged some pretty nasty remarks but I just couldn't care less about it the next day. It turns out that someone you thought to be an asshole the day before can turn out to be a pretty decent person. The only person you hurt by holding grudges is yourself.
No hard feelings, I have a tendancy to get caught up in the moment. As for the Dr. Evil thing, I only found out that Mike Myers stole that impression a couple of weeks ago when Dana Carvey was on Howard Stern.You know, over the years I have seen Earl promote hate mongering and racism in quite a few posts, yet everyone still seems to think he is this great guy? lol
Some of you take me way too serious. That's all on you. "Hate mongering?" Over bands and albums? Sure. Over a few idiots on here who like to go after me for my outlandish late night ramblings? Racism? Explain yourself. As for Myles and I, we are fine!
You are more like "Disgrace Under Pressure." Relieve yourself and leave me alone.
Ok then, none taken. All good in the Rush Hood! I dig Howard too. Cheers!
PAT!!!
YOU MADE MY NIGHT!
An incredible interview by the Legend and humble Paul Gilbert. Jesus Pat I saw that Tour with Rush and Mr. Big five times! I actually got sick of the drill solo and Eric saying.... "ARE YOU ADDICTED TO RUSH?????"
But all good!
I will admit Pat and you know my story about meeting all three in my lifetime. I was so lame and "Starstruck" meeting Neil in front of his bus and motorcycles before the "Vapor Trails" gig at the Concord Pavilion. Yes, I was a deer in headlights. A Mexican standoff with Neil Peart. Gazing into his beady bloodshot eyes of coal. I will take that moment to my grave. Only wish I could have thanked him for being my mentor in the drumming collective. I failed yet the moment was so amazing. As for meeting Geddy and Alex on the wine train. They were amazing to everyone! Sweetest guys in the world.
When I met Geddy at the end of April during the A's and Jays series behind home plate on that fateful Sunday afternoon he was so nice to me. Funny to note, he remembered me.
Yep! I am a great guy and I am sweet and sincere.
But the men and women on here who hate me for being me.
I will always get in the trenches and battle for me.
You don't phase me. You idiots who despise me don't bring me down.
I will "Fight The Good Fight" even with F bombs and blasphemous banter.
Signed,
TRIUMPH!
You assholes on here who want to keep going after me, go for it. The fruit loop in this thread who has regrets posting on here since he or she or it saw the OP after posting. LOL! What a fuckking moron. "BEAT IT" Michael Jackoffson! I don't even know you from Adam. Would rather see Queen with Adam Lambert! OHHH! I am! 10th row center! Yup! I am the racist. The biggot. The hate monger. The gay hater. The drug addict. The drunk. LOL!!!!!!!!!! "BRING ON THE NIGHT" HATERS! You will never "STING" me. Delete me an go support ping pong, Donkey Kong, 2 liter Pepsi, Pop Rocks, Small Cocks, acne, trouser trout. The idiots on here who are adult Rush fans but who have never seen them live in their life are the biggest posers on the planet.
Put on your "Kid Gloves" you "Analog Kids!" I'm ready to go for it. I have no fear behind my keyboard. Been bullied on here for 13 years for my own pointless point of venomous views.

DIGITAL MAN
Or take the safer path and block me.
I will never block anyone on here. I know who the haters are.
"EAT ME"
Have some HUMBLE PIE!
The only thing I don’t like about you Earl is the way you talk about people on this forum hating you. It’s cringeworthy. I seriously doubt anyone on this forum hates you. No Rush fan is going to hate you for showing your love of Rush that’s you just projecting your private life shit.
What’s the story about 73 PMing you about writing “Canaduh”? Not really something to get anyone’s panties in a twist over...

I know you have been roasted on here too Tony like a beer can chicken on a barbecue, but I have always liked you too.
I've made many mistakes on here over the years. Typing without thinking, but that's life.
I have no criticism of you at all. Thanks for the honest input.
I will do my best to move on and forget the past drama on here.
I hold grudges, and that's my problem.
Good night Tony.

When you start judging people by what concerts they have seen it's time to start judging yourself.

I may be an idiot, but I'm no poser. Too old for that. My sciatica might act up if I stand too long in one position, :codger:

Let's get some new blood in there. I want to hear what Justin Beiber has to say.Geez what a bunch of cynics. MIght be worth it just for grins and chucks. Seeing the guys on the big screen wouldn't suck :finbar:
I have no problem seeing them on a big screen. (Seen them all since it started with Rush In Rio.)
But that journey ended (for me anyway.)
That said, I have no problem with Geddy taking us on a tour of his bass collection or getting some soundcheck and backstage behind the scenes footage or unreleased footage. I wouldn't even mind hearing from crew members in a kind of Backstage Secrets kind of thing. If they want to uncork some footage from the final show, I'd be more than up for that too.
I'd love to see Alex show off his acting chops or footage of him noodling on his front porch, but what else is Billy Corgan, Taylor Hawkins or those of similar ilk going to tell that they hasn't been told already?

Thanks for sharing that video. It totally seemed out of character for the Hulk to be embarrassed and scared to me but I was just basing that theory on other things that were out of character for him. Like the fact that he was living the life of rockstar in the last Thor movie or the that Thanos just threw him around like a rag doll. It's been over 35 years since I read a Hulk comic book but I used to read a lot of them when I was a kid and I don't recall him ever being beaten that easily or ever being so full of himself like he was in the Thor movie.I am not saying that that kinda stuff never happened but not in anything I ever read.
My take on The Hulk not coming out was that he was embarrassed and scared after Thanos beat the shit out of him so easily. Before that he was used to doing the smashing, not being smashed.I saw it last night with my wife and daughter (she's 12). We were all somewhat disappointed. As far as MCU movies go, it's middle of the pack for us.
My daughter's criticism were "they rushed the first part" and "the way Scott escapes the quantum realm was really stupid".
Sure there were some laughs and moments where it tugged at your heart strings, but overall, it was kinda' "meh" for us. Certainly nowhere near the hype.
Things the movie should have explained from Infinity War: why was the gauntlet so damaged when Thanos did the original snap? Why did Hulk refuse to "come out"?
I agree with your daughter about Lang escaping the quantum realm. Imagine Doc Strange’s reaction when he saw that one possibility of them winning...”We’re saved by a f***ing rat?!”
The gauntlet was destroyed due to all the stones being used at once. Just too much power. But since you and your family didn’t see that then I’d have to say yeah the MCU didn’t do a very good job of explaining it.
As for Hulk refusing to come out...I took it as he felt like he only got time “outside” when he was needed. He felt like he was being used / exploited for his brawn. If that is the reason, and I’m pretty sure it was, then it IS a lame one. And again, they didn’t explain very well what was up with that.
Final grade after two viewings: B-
The weakest of the Avengers films despite my satisfaction with Iron Man & Cap in it.
I was sure that The Hulk would get payback in End Game but was very disappointed that never happened. I was very disappointed with The Hulk throughout the whole movie.
I liked that Thor totally let himself go and was pretty much just a total loser. He lost everything and it showed a whole other side to him in a sad and humorous way. I thought the movie was good overall but it certainly could have been much better.
Hulk being scared and embarrassed doesn’t make sense since that’s not what Hulk does.
It turns out the directors give the same reason I gave earlier for the Hulk not coming out:

Who could take that kind of shit seriously? He is like a Trump Mini-Me.You know, over the years I have seen Earl promote hate mongering and racism in quite a few posts, yet everyone still seems to think he is this great guy? lol
Don't take much of what he says seriously. If something he says bothers you than just talk shit back to him. That's what I learned to do and for the most part we get along fine.

I guess Canada has the Raptor's fans to disgrace them and the U.S. has you.I really don't care at this point in my life what you humans thing about bootleg collections.
I mean seriously? In 2019 who really gives a shit. You can stream and cream in your jeans for any live concert you want now!
Oh boy, the "poor" artist can't collect a check or a royalty from a bootleg. Yet Geddy, Alex and Neil are combined with well over 100 MILLION DOLLARS.
Insert Dr. Evil's finger on inner lip. I mean really?
Fukk it.
BAN ME!
I just found an incredible Gypsy Eye double cd pressing of a "Power Windows" Tour.
It's not the greatest boot but my Prog God! It just brings back the memory of when I saw this tour at the Cow Palace in 1985.
Now you who know me know I could give a shit about typing with a filter on here.
Some may think I'm over the top and privileged.
I am nothing more than an insane RUSH FAN.
This bootleg has my favorite Neil Peart solo of all time!!
I know I know I know.
I am sure the same sequence of the solo was also on GUP inside the Cow Palace and hell I was only 16.
I know i saw this combination of Neil solo twice in my life.
So Fukk!
So pumped right now.
I finally have a really good recording of my favorite Neil Peart solo for my 51 year young ears!!
As all of you Rush snobs and Rush Fruits know. (inside joke)
The solo starts out with YYZ. Goes right into a fuckking killer solo and then Neil goes right into the near middle section of "Red Lenses." Only the greatest Rush song ever made if you are a real drummer like me. The drumming on "Red Lenses" has blown me away since I was a sophomore in high school. Makes me proud that I can play "Red Lenses" on my drums even in pure organic form. I own no electronics yet ironically I have enough buzzers and bells (pun intended) on my drum kit to play to ever Rush record. Ask my friends. They love me. LOL!!!
I'm so glad many of you so-called real Rush Fans hate "Red Lenses." Well be cool or be casted out! You have your own opinion.
The average human brain probably can't even comprehend the drumming that Neil does on "Red Lenses." So I totally get it.
I am sure the average Rush fan human brain can't even understand the drumming on "Red Sector A." These damn "Red" songs are so fun to play to on the drums.
"Red Barchetta" and of course "Red Tide."
Man I love "Red Tide." I am sure many of you so called Rush addicts hate it.
I can stir the pot on here because.
A. Rush is over Forever.
B. The Rush Forum is great but with Rush over Forever what do we talk about? Boring side projects? Alex playing on one song in some shit band? I'm so over it. Give me "Grapes Under Pressure V"
C. I am easily in the Top Ten Of The Greatest Rush Fans On The Planet. I don't need a pat on the back or a stupid fuckking medal. I have the knowledge. I have the numbers and the memories and experience to go toe to toe with any Rush fan on the planet. Sure, seeing them 60 times in 30 years is not impressive to many but hey. I'm f***ing REAL. It should have been 62 times. But my parents made me go to my fuckking Senior Ball and I came down with chicken pox at a Rush show in Marysville during a f***ing wind fire storm. Had to miss an LA show. You people think you know me? You don't know shit. Let's keep it that way!! I'm divorced because of RUSH and I have no regrets in life! I have my daughters. WIN WIN!
D. To all of my friends on here, I adore you deeply. The Rushhead Haters who tried to get me banned? Look in the Mirror Of Yourself! Leave me the fuckk alone.
E. E 4 EGO! Not me! I'm good!!! I will play my drums to Rush music until I die. You poor souls on here who think you are a Rush fan yet have never seen them live? Well I'm sorry. "Face Up!" Stay positive. Go see that cash grab movie in theaters for a night. Pure shite, but as a whore I will go.
F. F as in "FUCKK IT" I'm listening to Tears For Fears right now. Gonna cry in my beers tonight..... See "G"
G. GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS!!!! First KD goes down hard trying to win and he ruptures his Achilles. The fukking CANUCK FANS ARE A DISGRACE FOR CLAPPING FOR HIS INJURY! I remember writing on here years ago saying "CANADUH!" 73 gave me a pm warning for using that slang term. Well tonight? Years later? Screw it. The Toronto Raptor fans are a disgrace to the NBA and to human kindness. Clapping and cheers for when Durant went down. Pigs. Socialist Pigs. NO CLASS!! Glad you have the FINALS Trophy! "WE THE NORTH??" As the kid said on the Bad News Bears when they lost the Little League World Series to the fuckking Yankees. "YOU CAN TAKE THAT TROPHY AND SHOVE IT UP YOUR ASS!"
H. "Hemispheres" The greatest albums ever made by any humans on the planet. I really don't care if I offend any Canadiens for this long winded thread. Obviously you know I love Canada and Toronto. I was there in October for the GUP IV deal and I was just there at the end of April for the A's Jays series and said hi to Geddy at a game.I really don't need to defend myself but being on this ultra liberal hypocritical bully forum since 2006, well I have my "Freewill" to speak or type as I want too.
I. I as in ME. I I am just a diehard Rush Fan. It's why why Zed I joined this Forum. LOL! But hey. You can't be friends with everyone in life and especially on a one dimensional public forum. All good.
J. Jeezus, I could JEST I mean JUST do the entire alphabet to the way I feel tonight about Rush, the Warriors and the status of the world and this Forum. It is what it is. I saw THE CULT last night in San Francisco. It was my third time in 9 years. It was their best show for me. Billy Duffy is so underrated. One of the greatest guitar players on the planet Earth. Just like Steve Stevens. Could you imagine if The Cult and Billy Idol toured together in 2020? They could switch out guitar players and then do an all two band jam at the end of the set. I think I'm in the wrong business, but I'm hoping to retire in three years.
Good luck to all of you!!
No ill will to anyone on here. Even to those who I have hurt or made angry. Get over it. Take a Tums, put on some Rush music and cum.
Best stress reliever ever!!!
RUSH ON FORVER!!!!

You mentioned Dr. Evil in your post. Did you realize that Dr. Evil was actually based on an impression of Lorne Michaels, creator of SNL, that Dana Carvey used to do of him. Mike Myers actually just stole the impression for the movie without even consulting Dana Carvey about it.

I spent quite a while but I think I spoke too soon before because I was just trying to think of the lyrics to both of those songs now and it's coming up blank.I have just recently started memorizing the lyrics to every song in Rush's catalog. So far I have La villa and YYZ totally committed to memory.
Did it take you long to memorize them?

If that is true then that is the best news ever. Because 90% of the time the total opposite of what Alex says to the media usually ends up happening.Are we aware that Alex said this in March, “I don't want to be in a band and tour any more”?
Was I the only one that missed that?

In one of the episodes of Baskets with Zach Galifianakis he buys a 4k tv and is showing it off to his girlfriend and telling her how amazing the picture quality is with 4k. He then tells her that they can't actually watch anything in 4k because they haven't really released any media in that format yet.
Not interested in saving $8000 by pre-ordering?LG has announced it will begin selling the first 8K television later this year. As of now there is only one size (I believe) at 88 inches. It will initially retail for about $42,000 but they're taking pre-orders this month and you can get one for about $34,000 plus a free air purifier. That's quite a bargain, innit?
They certainly expect us to junk all our 4K TV’s and 4K Blu-rays.....and go all 8K!
Ain’t gonna do it!
Anyone who is not stinking rich that would pay that much for a tv is insane. I was checking about a year ago for a new tv online at a local furniture store and they had a 100" Sony television for $80,000. I couldn't believe it. I think that it is safe to say that they do not keep those tv's in stock.
And current entertainment media (Blu-rays, cable, over-the-air broadcasting, etc.) is still trying to catch up to the 4K technology. It's years away from 8K.

If they were to make an album together they could end up agreeing on trying to sound as little like Rush as possible. Maybe a country album?It wouldn't be Rush. Not ever.
But I can see it happening. Perhaps that's just desperation - hoping that Ged and Al do /something/ more together before it's too late.
As long as Geddy and Alex are in it, it’s Rush. Drums are just drums and no one ever got into Rush for the lyrics.

I've leaked in public before."Leaked"? Baloney. Someone trying to make way more out of something than it is. If you're in public, there's no leak.

You can download Retropile images that are upto 128gb. The images can be copied onto an sd card with all the games preconfigured and ready to work. You can easily find instructions on how to copy the images to your sd card. You can download the images from here.I used the same software used to make the retropie consoles to build this for a workplace halloween pumpkin contest last year. The most difficult part of this was tuning the low quality LCD screen to actually function with the emulator. But it ended up surprisingly playable.
http://imageshack.com/a/img923/5030/ULomWS.jpg
I've also made retropie consoles for a few of my friends... Even overclocked it so that it could run N64 games reasonably well. I especially enjoy the PS1 emulator, but I wish the game isos didn't take up so much space on the memory card.
That's pretty cool!
Do you know of any tricks to get the arcade emulators to work? We can't seem to get most of them to work well.
Mine don’t work that well either...about half work.

What it all comes down to is that I was only joking. Bad jokes don't seem to be tolerated here but I see hate mongering and racism just slide all of the time.
People don't know if they are writing something funny when they are writing it, that is why stand-up comedians have to test material out on audiences first.
It was just a little spur of the moment satire on some of the Rush fan boys that I have seen over the years brought on by the effects a vape pen. There was absolutely no intention "to mess with people".and I had absolutely no malice intended towards anyone, just take a look at some of the horrible stuff that is said in this forum about Neil in a totally serious manner. I was only kidding around.I'm embarrassed for you.
Do Mods lock or remove threads?
It definitely shouldn't be in this forum. More of a "I'm bored and want to mess with people because I'm attention starved" kind of thread, wherever that should go.
Obviously you weren't serious and we all like to laugh. So post something funny and we will
and in case you cared it was the comments on Geddy's Mom and Neil's daughter that I thought were disgraceful.
I will address the comment on Neil's daughter first which was only poking fun at comments that the Neil haters tend to make about Neil. It was only about a little girl drawing a picture to try to please her father.
As for the comment about Geddy's mom, sure, it was distasteful but most of the big comedian's today use distasteful jokes for the majority of their acts. It was only a comment on the ridiculousness at the lengths that some of the fan boys that I have seen would go to. I meant absolutely no disrespect to Geddy's mom.
There's no way a comment about Geddy's mom's underwear can be anything but distasteful, and if you needed to be told that then maybe we didn't know you as well as we thought all these years. Didn't think you'd make a post like that and wonder how it would be received on this forum.
