I do not think they will play any songs that didn't have strings in them to begin with. If the song didn't have it originally I don't think they will re-arrange it to play it with strings now.
i hope you're right.

The guy sounds like a Rush fan but not a fanboy.
His comments are right on the mark.
QUOTE Geddy Lee's bass is mixed further up-front than it has been in some time -- which makes his mind-blowing chops resound: there are amazing pizzicatos interspersed in driving hard rock fills and edgy, off-kilter funk riffs. His voice is more nuanced and more emotionally expressive. QUOTE Alex Lifeson's acoustic guitars have an established place here, but his electric axes roar over them throughout. QUOTE Peart's drumming is the catalyst: his technical mastery makes his playing sound purely instinctive. CA is full of dynamic surprises I've read all the reviews of this album, but this one seemed so immediate to me - and unbiased.
It hit all the right buttons for me.
John Myung has MIND BLOWING chops. Geddy has never even been remotely close to that complex of a bassist.
i realize you're trying to make a point about the mind blowing chops etc...but what it comes down to is everyone has a different set of ears. john myung is like the eddie van halen of guitar with the blazing speed and all the tapping but everyone has a different style. john myung might be a great bass player, and dt might be great to many fans, but to me i can't listen to it.
I cant listen to it as well. Sonic waste put me to sleep
not sonic waste but just a different kind of listen. myung is a monster on the bass but a little too much for me.

2-0 US womens soccer just scored. prior to that goal there was a questionable call on a take down near the goal. i thought the US got away with one where it should have been a penalty kick but what do i know....

Some of the tickets are given to Olympic officials from different countries that don't even bother to show up. Sad...
that explains the empty seats at some of the events.

QUOTE (eshine @ Aug 2 2012, 04:23 AM) QUOTE (RUDT @ Aug 2 2012, 04:02 AM) "Halo Effect" is destined to be among the band's classic power ballads with a dramatic middle and end.
I missed something here quoting this, halo effect is more a mediocre ballad. I completely disagree. I think It's up there with Tears, Madrigal and Different Strings.
obviously the garden is much longer than those 3 but putting aside the lyrics, the garden drags along musically and vocally for me. i repeat, for me. the other 3 flow along effortlessly and just easy to listen to.

QUOTE (goose @ Aug 2 2012, 11:16 AM) Anyone else thinking that the coverage of the Games sucks yet again? Hardly any events shown...too much telling the story instead of letting the athletes and their performances speak for themselves.
15 minutes in this morning and yet to see anyone compete.no surprise. nbc sucks ass.

possible gold for womens judo. we'll have to see.

if they make pole dancing an olympic sport, 99.9% of the crowd will be men. wonder if there would be optional table dances when you're not competing.

QUOTE (They Bow Defeated @ Jul 30 2012, 07:42 PM) QUOTE (ReflectedLight @ Jul 30 2012, 05:19 PM) guess you missed my posts where i said i like tai shan, high water, and dog years. 3 songs that a high majority of people would call filler or total crap. So you like those three more than The Wreckers?
And you LIKE the Dog Years chorus, when he stretches DOG out to two or three syllables? And the lyrics?
DO-O-OG years
It's the season of the itch
DO-O-OG years
With every scratch it reappears
At least be consistent!
i can honestly say i like all 3 of those songs more than the wreckers.

QUOTE (snowdogged @ Jul 30 2012, 07:44 PM) QUOTE (ThinkingBig @ Jul 30 2012, 07:41 PM) QUOTE (An Enemy Without @ Jul 30 2012, 11:46 AM) Let's begin with the name. BU2B2. Bland. Uninspired. Uncreative. The name truly embodies everything there is to dislike about the song. It does a nice job of foreshadowing how boring the song you are going to listen to really is. When I bought the album I looked at the song list. I saw BU2B2 and thought, "why would they name a song that? What a shitty name."
The name fit perfectly. It sucks.
So let's discuss. What makes this song so bad? Why was it ever recorded?It's funny you used the words 'suck' and 'hard' in the same sentence.
You really have to stop "Thinking Big"!
i don't condone this kind of talk but.....

You don't believe this album deserves that kind of recognition...I get that.
I think the boys deserve it with HF. Polarizing topic. It'll be interesting to read your reaction if it happens. Rock on ER!!!!
i won't care either way just like with the rock n roll h of f.
