Bon Scott.

I think he has found what he's looking for, and that's his problem.

Red Light - Deep Blue Something

AF. It’s annoying AF. Not sure which I hate more, describing something as “(adjective) AF,” or when something is described as “amazeballs.” I intensely dislike “baller” as a superlative as well. Seems there’s a theme here.

Ours is the generation that conquered growing up.

Plant can get really obnoxiously whiney. He ruins stuff like "The Song Remains the Same." His voice is annoying after awhile too. But it's more soothing than Roger's. Not everyone can sound like Greg Lake. Greg Lake had such a gorgeous voice! I wish I liked ELP’s songs better, but too much keyboard and not enough guitar for my taste.

Me too. The older I get, the worse it is. :hi: It’s one fracking hour! You people never go to bed an hour earlier or later through out the year? If I have to hear one more John Montone interview segment about the “disruption” on 1010 WINS I’ll scream. That's right. Shout! Get it all out!! It’s a simple one hour CHANGE. To me, it’s a disruption because it takes me several days to adjust to the abrupt light change. The amount of light at a given time of day changes overnight, but nothing else about my schedule or daily obligations does, and as much as I would like for it not to be a issue for me, it is. Maybe it doesn’t bother you, and to you is simply a change to which you can instantly adapt, but for others it causes a greater or lesser degree of hardship. The experiences of others are just as valid as yours.

I don’t care which one it is as long as we stick to one or the other and stop with this infernal twice-yearly schedule disruption that serves no truly useful purpose and disorientates me for at least a week.

Rush is equal to my favourite band!

:facepalm:

Mullet are you back in thrall? In thrall to what? to me of course... I see you haven’t lost your sense of absurdity ;)

There once was a note. Listen!

Mullet are you back in thrall? In thrall to what?

(WL) Rosie, because it’s more fun. (WL) Love takes itself a bit too seriously

By a lot!

WHAT AM I f***ing DOING HERE?!?!?

There are about ten best Rush albums!

I would guess that they do it because it brings them joy, and gives them opportunities to play for responsive audiences that they wouldn’t get otherwise. One can be a great player but not have much songwriting ability (or vice-versa). I recall a member of a tribute band who used to post here saying something along the lines that they had written music of their own but just wasn’t good enough at it to make for a career. If you love to play an instrument and are good enough at it to play Rush songs well but don’t love your own material, I imagine it feels pretty good to get onstage and have your skills appreciated. Is it really so different from playing in an orchestra performing music that was written hundreds of years ago?

Led Zeppelin were great players, arrangers, showmen, etc., and The Who were chaos, dysfunction and wonder. Listening to their catalogues, it feels to me that Led Zeppelin made music because it was their job and The Who made music because it was their compulsion. Both great bands, but I relate much more to The Who and seldom feel a need to listen to Led Zeppelin beyond what I hear on the radio. I guess I prefer towering peaks and plummeting depths over rolling plains.

That photo made my day!

I agree. I’m sick of all this lush but fundamentally sterile computer animation. Bring back real drawing!

I played it, minus Didacts and Narpets, (along with SteelCaressed son) during the TRF tailgate in the Jiffy Lube Live (DC) parking lot for the Snakes And Arrows, Time Machine, and Clockwork Angels tours. I think there may be videos of it in the meetup archives of the tour section. http://www.therushfo...40#entry2756610 I'm so very glad to see you! :hi: I'm glad to see you, too, my dear :hi: I hope you are at least reasonably well! :sundog:

Correction: An mostly fictional version of Freddie will live forever, accompanying his true legacy, his music, which had already achieved that immortality on its own merits. No movie was ever needed, and as entertaining and beautifully made a fiction as the Bohemian Rhapsody movie is, it has created a flattened, dull version of the complicated human that Freddie was, and in my opinion has cheapened his legacy more than preserved it. I liked the movie well enough, but it would have been truly great if they had done something more like Velvet Goldmine and embraced rather than obfuscated the fact that the film is fan-fiction and not a real biopic.
