    Rush and 1D

    in Rush

    Posted

    I am a father of three, two of them girls. Both of them obsessed with One Direction. I keep asking which direction?

     

    Last night, while the oldest one was doing her nightly stalking, she came across a picture of Harry Stiles (sp.?). She showed it to me and asked if I knew what it was.

     

    He was wearing a Presto shirt. One I had never seen before.

     

    Too funny. I told her that 1D had just elevated their status...

     

    I will try and post the pic later... (As if anyone cares...)

     

    This from a guy who pulled off the freeway to take a picture of my odometer as it reached 2112 miles...

    In an attempt to be more environmentally friendly, Detroit has moved away from the all plastic face shield, which will sit in the landfill for all eternity, to a more natural one made of grass!!!

    My fan pack was waiting for in my mailbox when I got home tonight!
    What a great package and the album sounds AMAZING!
    The boys have no business being this good this late in their career but I am SO glad they are

    Ok...received the fan pack today...my only complaint is that the "digipack" CD case doesn't fit in my CD rack! It's TOO BIG wtf.gif

    Obviously, because they can't stop thinking big, they can't stop thinking big...

    This album would have been better if...

    they would have asked David Lee Roth to come out and be the front man...

     

     

    OMG, these guys are nearing 60 years old. They have made more than millions. Short of Alex punching another hotel employee, there is no reason these guys need another $.

     

    I really think they are playing more for themselves than for us...

     

    And I am happy to spend my hard earned dollars to their benefit...

     

     

    Official Clockwork Angels Initial Reactions thread

    Almost through the first listen...

     

    Really like it so far. It seems to me like this has little bits and pieces from all their "phases".

     

    There are real hard lines, like Caress of Steel. There are times I am reminded of Presto or Hold Your Fire.

     

    I am a lifelong fan. I once told my buddy Matt (in 1983) that if RUSH put out a disco album, I would learn to like it. The closest thing I can relate to that is Vapor Trails...

     

    Just getting The Garden...Wow!

     

    My take, there is enough for all of us to like. Old school fans will love the harder stuff and eschew the mellower (sp.) stuff.

     

    I really think this album is so much more for RUSH than for us. It is similar to 2112. After COS, they were on the ropes. Their record company said no more concept albums. They said okay. And then produced 2112...

     

    I feel this is totally for them. Everyone else be damned.

     

    I love it!

     

    As a mid-40s guy, I don't have the time to digest new music. I'll make the time for CA!

    I think it's SO COOL that Rush made the show in some way!  And Randy's compliment was awesome - usually Rush get slammed for their vocals, so for him to say something nice about Geddy in front of a national audience was really cool.

    Did you notice how geeky and nerdy the guy was singing the song?  Nothing wrong with geeky or nerdy, mind you, but we're certainly not breaking THAT stereotype in this instance. wink.gif

    No, noone noticed how nerdy that kid was. wink.gif

     

    He looks like much of what ive seen at Rush concerts. I think most people think thats what many Rush fans look like.

     

    As soon as he mentioned he was singing Rush, I was like, "Oh it figures..."

    eh.gif

    I was relaying the idol scene to my wife and made a comment about how much of a nerd the guy was...

     

    Without missing a beat, she says, "A nerdy guy signing Rush? Shocking!!! Duh! You're an accountant..."
