Haven't you come to appreciate any of it after all this time? No. Indeed time has only increased my conviction that Presto is an uninspired milksop of an album to which I give no quarter. You laugh at my trauma?!?!?!?????? Heaven forfend!!!!

From another thread: I remember buying it the day it came out. Ran to my dorm room. Put it in the cd and rocked out approvingly to Show Don’t Tell...and then sat there speechless as the crap started to ooze out of the CD player. Mostly awful songs. Awful production. Awful album. It still stings a little how much this album disappoints me.

Does everyone think Tom Sawyer is the best first song for them to do?

Yes and his drum seat will be a wheelchair.

Feedback is better than Hold Your Nose. I LOVE HYF yet detest Presto. Interesting the varying takes on these albums. At least someone likes these things.

Source please.

They started with Holy Wars first. But Tornado kicks major ass! That solo is amazing.

God. I remember buying it the day it came out. Ran to my dorm room.

Yeah...that guy does nothing for me. He’s not as insightful or funny as Ryan & George.

Bump! Get these guys into Rush y’all. George likes his drummers and he needs to hear a The Professor.

This was another good review. Their new reaction to Dream Theater was so damn spot on: sounds like they’re playing stuff just to be playing stuff.

If you haven’t seen Lost In Vegas’ vids on YouTube they’re awesome. Two black guys give their honest reaction to new (to them) music from various genres. They’re hip hop guys learning about rock/metal...but haven’t done a reaction vid to Rush. I ask anyone that gives a fück to either send them a tweet to: @lostinvegas83 or leave a recommendation on their YouTube page: https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCJPOmOZzDxZZxPWFgeE50hQ to do a vid of a rush song. I’d say Tom Sawyer would be a good place for them to start. They’ve been getting swamped by metal heads recommending bands like Slayer and Meshuggah but I think they need to hear the good stuff.

Apparently fans haunt Peart. Scares him. Runs away from them in a flop sweat.

Does JPJ use a mellotron on this song ? I believe so.

Uh...No Quarter y’all!! Can’t believe I’m the first one in with that one.

Yes. And the opening act is The Damp Banana Hammocks.

These guys are GREAT. Have to get them to do a reaction to a Rush tune...someone’s first reaction to Tom Sawyer would be great to see.

Holy balls you HAVE to watch their reaction to Slayer, it’s fücking priceless...it’s almost exactly my reaction the first time I heard them. Awesome.

Thanks for posting that. Geddy Lee sure is an interesting, articulate and modest guy. YES! Thanks for posting that.

For those who don't have access to AXS TV, the episode will be made available for digital purchase the following day for $2 at this location here. I've posted this twice already. Nobody has to worry about missing the interview as long as they buy the 'effing' clip. Does anyone pay attention to details in posts? This $2 investment to me is more worthwhile than buying a beverage at an expensive coffee shop. Huh? What was that?

I agree; that was touching, and the best part I thought. Could you pm me the details, bluesy? :) Or, you know...put them in the spoiler thread ...

Don’t have AXS so couldn’t watch. Anyone want to share spoilery thoughts/insights/interesting moments?

I mean Halloween III is awesome in it’s spectacular goofiness, manly moustaches & villanous Irish Micks.
