QUOTE (Pags @ Jul 12 2010, 07:42 AM)It's one of the fastest hours on television, and you just don't want the show to end. This season is kicking ass. 2nd best show on television, next to Entourage. HBO needs to move Hung out of the 10PM slot and put Entourage there in its place. That would be a perfect night of television, imo. True Blood, really? I watched a couple episodes S1 and it seemed like kind of a chick show -- a white trash goth version of Twilight. The opening credits are very cool, but the vampires aren't original--just overly familiar dark, brooding and depressed... Like we've seen them in too many other better vampire films... and that kind of hurts a vampire show.

QUOTE (djtess @ Jul 14 2010, 06:07 PM) Good Luck Chris!!! Rain or Shine means "Rain or Shine", and don't give me that BS that a piece of equiptment was blown. You mean to tell me a million dollar band like Rush dosen't have back-up equiptment?? Frivorlous lawsuits should always be called-out, however, this is not one of them. Hell yeah it is frivolous. Hack Lawyers and their clients want to misuse the legal system to make life 'fair' and account for every disappointment. It sucks the show was cancelled. It really does. But tying up the courts with this nonsense is the very definition of frivolous. Chris: Re-list your seats on stub-hub and stop making the legal system and lawyers look like a joke. BTW -- Issuing a press releasing was a dead giveaway -- you want attention, and you want some more clients to join the suit. And posting on multiple RUSH forums to further troll for clients... I'd advise RUSH not to set a dangerous precedent by giving free tix or signed photos. Circle the wagons and fight. Counter-sue chris for your legal fees.

Well done, great report. And OUTSTANDING PICS... You da man!

QUOTE (tick @ Jun 24 2010, 12:00 PM)Don't ask me why but I caught some of Katy Perry performing on Palladia(I can't resist a hottie) She performed her hit, "I Kissed A Girl" and my jaw dropped at what happened at the end of the song. Thanks to You tube I am able to share what happened as the song concluded. If you watch this video all the way through you may have a heart attack at the ending. I nearly did! I recommend watching the entire thing for the true shock value.(and because Katy Perry is hot) Be sure to watch it in hi def. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crOn6Ywqlso I had to watch that whole video just to hear the nod to Rush??

Using the other hints you could probably come up with 28 songs just like that. Really question is how many S&A songs and will they repeat certain tracks like Ghost/The Trees. Not much suspense left. Do we think thats what the ^1^ means? No. It means first verse. Then wouldn't the "1" be next to the first verse, instead of the song title? it is next to the first verse. and the ^^ means scroll up to the song before it. They are opening with Bastille Day. Then Far Cry.

QUOTE (mazyyz @ Jun 19 2010, 09:41 PM) ....then why are you posting in this forum? PS..I hear they will be playing the entire Moving Pictures album And JACOBS LADDER STICK IT OUT thankfully, Camera eye will be shortened.

And Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore. I've deliberately stayed away from the Tour Forum, because I don't want to know anything more than I already do. Have fun New Mexico!!

Bandwidth Limit Exceeded did anyone download the pics and can you post them here?

QUOTE (hughes&kettner @ Jun 10 2010, 08:20 AM) i was thinking of what the time machine setlist will be like. wondering if they'd use the moving pictures tour as a template for this setlist, adding newer material as they see fit...that in mind tell me your 5 songs you'd LOVE for them to play, but feel it's a long-shot to hear. remember: they can tune down ala circumstances and 2112 to adjust for ged's voice... mine are: anthem bastille day something for nothing kid gloves countdown going to see them at the sarnia bayfest! getting psyched! I would swap Analog Kid for Kid gloves. But great list!!

just got an email, they are on the way.

QUOTE (Gerxt @ Jun 8 2010, 06:14 AM) People have mentioned the vocal melodies a bit in this thread. I think that vocal melodies in both of these songs are poor. The playing is awesome and the lyrics are great but they are simply not good songs. Can you honestly ever see Jacob Moon being able to cover them? Rush really need to work on song writing ability and only release the 8 best melodies they can write. Thats how we will really get another Moving Pictures quality album. Why the flark is Jacob Moon and why the fleck do we care? I can't judge the 'vocal melodies' because I can't sing. They sound great to me. Emotion backing up the lyrics which become more memorable with every listen. Did you want to articulate why the vocal melodies are "poor". Start by giving us some background on why you're qualified to criticize vocal melodies.

The caravan thunders onward To the distant dream of the city The caravan carries me onward On my way at last On my way at last

It occured to me while I was driving to work listening to the best RUSH I've heard in years, that the people commenting on the mix, the musicianship, the air, and the math are doing so from their BASEMENTS.

I changed my mind... I like Caravan better. But these songs both ROCK. I liked One Little Victory and Far Cry, but these babies are vintage RUSH for the new decade. With every listen I hear something new... Devil take the rest. Excellent NP!!

QUOTE (jnoble @ Jun 1 2010, 08:21 PM) There's also little if any hook or catch or strong melody to either song. In fact, after just listening to them both I can't remember how either of them goes. If RUSH ever writes a song with a catchy hook -- I'm done with them. That being said, I can't get these new songs out of my head. The lyrics are thoughtful, powerful... Interesting contrast between the optimism of Caravan and the late-life reflections of BU2B. The music bridge and solo in Caravan ROCKS!!

QUOTE (MMCXII @ Jun 1 2010, 04:35 PM) and check it out, Neil isn't jut playing drums... he's on cymbal duty too! wow he' the man!! lol Yeah... but they forgot to credit NP for Symbols...

QUOTE (SpiritOfRush @ Jun 1 2010, 03:12 PM)QUOTE (nobodys hero @ Jun 1 2010, 03:08 PM) graduation day so this is only my 2nd listen. Wow! Just Wow! I LOVE the heavy sound. I think they both Kick Ass! Way to go boys! My point made...this stuff will appeal more so to the younger Rush fans (unlike me). I guess that's what they were aiming for. Oh well, I can't begrudge them for that (but I don't have to like it). So, you feel with a data sampling of 1, you have proven your point??? That's a good one!! Yes, it was for ME not YOU that I came to write this song... They're aiming for people who like what they do.

QUOTE (shaun3701 @ Jun 1 2010, 01:56 PM) If Neil "can't stop thinking big" then why is it all he can ever write about is how much he hates religion? I don't see that at all. There's a tone of admiration mixed with criticism... It's a really cool balance. Caravan is more hopeful and optimistic... But BU2B hammers home some old Freewill ideas, much sadder, but also content with 'the plan'...

QUOTE (SpiritOfRush @ Jun 1 2010, 12:38 PM) Is it just me or is this band's sound and their albums getting progressively worse?...Guess that's what they mean by prog rock. Paraphrasing: Someone please notice me.
