    J.R Flood members

    in Rush

    Posted

    Anybody know what happened to the other members of the band? I know the organist passed away, and we tragically lost Neil last year, but I can't find any info regarding the other guys. Does anybody have any information on these guys or where I can find some?

     

    I have their names but that's it.

     

    Late organist - Bob Morrison

     

    guitarist - Paul Dickinson,

     

    bass guitarist - Wally Tomczuk

     

    singer, lyrics - Gary Luciani

     

    drums, lyrics - Neil Peart

     

    I don't think Neil wrote lyrics for J R Flood. Geddy and Alex have said that they asked Neil if he'd ever written lyrics and he said No, but that he'd like to try. You can hear that in this interview at about 7 minutes in (if you have Amazon Prime):

    The 27 Club Poll - If they'd all lived which of them would have had the most success, and which of them would have faded away?

    Richey Edwards is the obvious choice for success because the evidence is there in the fact that the MSP are massive today and he would have been part of that if he hadn't gone missing/committed suicide.

     

    I have never heard of Pigpen so voted for him for that reason.

     

    I don't think the Manics would have achieved mass success without the attention they got from Richey going missing. I think they would have imploded. Aside from Richey being in very bad mental shape before he disappeared, there were rifts developing in the band over what musical direction to go. Hard to say what would have happened if he had stayed, but to quote James Dean Bradfield, "at that point in his life it was clear that Richey didn't give a flying f**k about trying to write a hit single." He also referred to the Manics's success as a Pyrrhic victory. Sad but true, tragedy is in that band's DNA.

    Anyone try to schedule a vaccine appointment? Lol.

    I've gotten my first vaccine and I'm scheduled for part 2 on February 4th.

     

    I'm not sure how I got it but I signed up on Xmas eve when the registration site went live. The site was up and down, off-line, hanging, etc. but I finally got through.

     

    I live in Essex County NJ and the Commissioner ( Joe D ) is doing a fantastic job with testing and vaccinations. Since I volunteer at a food pantry I get tested weekly and it's very easy to schedule a test.

     

    I hope you all get vaccinated ASAP.

     

    Howdy Essex County neighbour!

     

    Well done on getting your vaccine taken care of. Your being right on top of it like that must have made a difference because many folks I know around here have not been able to get appointments. I'm not eligible yet so I guess I'll be seeing how it goes in the coming months.

    Where Did You Hear The News A Year Ago Today?

    in NEIL PEART - 1952-2020

    Posted

    I was lying on my couch ill with covid (although at the time I thought it was just some kind of weird flu). A friend of mine who is a notorious fangirl sent me a text reading simply "Neil!" Because she is a notorious fangirl, I assumed she was listening to a song or admiring a photograph, or perhaps writing a story of the sort that would be disapproved of by most of the people here. So I sent her back a text that said "Yes?" with a laughing emoji, and when she didn't answer right away I felt a sense of foreboding, googled, saw the news and sent back "Oh my God! NO!" We texted back and forth for a bit expressing our shock and disbelief, marvelling that he had been so sick and had kept it quiet, and discussing what he meant to us. Then the tears as it sunk in fully, and a whisky in his honour, while texts came in from pretty much everyone I know telling me that they had heard the news and thought of me. The next morning, the first thing I thought of when I woke up was that I was living in a world with no Neil Peart in it, a post-Rush world where there was no longer even a slight chance of a reunion. While that grief persisted for a while, perspective was quick in coming. It is undeniably sad, and especially injust in view of the fate of his first family, but not a personal loss for me the way it is for his family and friends. In the time since then, the music and the videos have been of great comfort.

     

    Reading the Rolling Stone article all I could think of was "Thank goodness Alex recovered from his illness in March, because wow, so soon after Neil, what would it have done to Geddy if he hadn't?"

    How did Giuliani go from being the mayor of 9/11 to the 9/11 of mayors?

     

     

     

    I met him a few times in the late 80's and early 90's. Was always impressed by him. But now i'm compulsively washing my right hand, having used it to shake his back then.

     

    Just to be sure I don't catch anything.

     

    I think Trump has done for him the same thing he's done for millions of others, dumbed them down.

    Both people who supported him and those who didn't.

     

    Truer words never spoken!

    Tommy Lee's 5 spots ahead of Bozzio?! Hmmm...

     

    My list is based on influence being a drummer. I play like Neil but I hit fuckking hard like Tommy.

     

    Pamela Anderson?

     

    I've seen the sex tape. Tommy plays with three fuckking drumsticks.

     

    Seen it? I’m surprised you didn’t SHOOT and DIRECT it...

     

    “Okay, Tommy. Less talk and more schlong! Nobody gives a shit if you love her or not! Sorry, Pamela. It’s just show biz! Okay, places everyone! 3....2....1....ACTION!!!”
