  1. CA needs to be played on its own, no other songs interspersed. Its a friggin masterpiece and should be delivered as such
  2. QUOTE (Gedneil Alpeart @ Jun 23 2012, 08:28 AM) Thanks for the recommendations! http://www.crutchfield.com/g_10500/Turntables.html?tp=48766 here's a link to a couple great ones. All of these are great but if you can stretch above the $300 price range you'll be happy you did. The Marantz unit is nice. I'm a home audio dealer for a long time
  3. QUOTE (shail @ Jun 22 2012, 10:18 PM) Waiste of money vinyl. Its a freakin digital product. Warmer? What? Same as a cd. Christ. unless you've experienced great audio, try not to sound so uninformed
  4. QUOTE (micgtr71 @ Jun 22 2012, 07:17 PM) Ok, I am a vinyl fan. I purchased every album (except RTB through VT) in this format when they were released. The vinyl is much more dynamic and that may be due to the amplifier/speakers involved. First, I love the packaging. Heavy 180 gram discs are amazing. I love the clock showing 1 o'clock through 4 o'clock for the four sides. The gatefold brings me back to the glory days of vinyl. I almost wish the cover was a bit more ornate to use that medium a bit more. The sound is amazing. It is much more warm and dynamic. It doesn't feel like I am being hit in the face. Though it was almost 3 times the price of the cd opening week, I feel that it is worth it for the sound. This is Geddy's best bass sound in years. I just wanted to share this because it made me feel like I was a kid again. Anyone else get the vinyl and felt transported back to the days of your youth? Please share. for us geeky audiophiles in the crowd, please describe your gear!
  5. built a 6 figure theater room for Chris Tucker
  6. my wife watches these shows. I don't. Tonight I sat in the tub with her and watched an episode of this garbage. I can't believe I married someone who is interested in this dreck. What a colossal waste of time and resources. Stupid people, being petty, fighting about bullshit and airing their idiocy for the world to see. WTF is wrong with people? Isnt there something more interesting to do with your lives?

  8. QUOTE (driventotheedge @ Jul 5 2012, 02:58 PM) Saw him with Stevie Ray in '89. He was quite good but I liked SRV better. i think i may have seem that same tour. SRV blew him away. Saw SRV about 7 times I think. RC is good for sure, and his band certainly is great too. My two top performances: Candlebox on this last tour was amazing (i know but they are great live), and SRV in about '84
  9. Waiting for some images to start leaking out. The guys must be deep into stage prep and fine tuning the lighting, videos set list and of course...rearranging the orchestra chairs.
  10. Jack Palance "Few people know that veteran movie actor Jack Palance was a professional heavyweight boxer in the early 1940s. Fighting under the name Jack Brazzo, Palance a product of Lattimer Mines, Pennsylvania, won his first 15 fights, 12 by knockout before losing a 4th round decision to future heavyweight contender Joe Baksi on Dec. 17, 1940. With the outbreak of World War II, Jack Palance's boxing career ended and his military career began. Wounded in combat, he received the purple heart, good conduct medal, and the World War II Victory Medal. After the war he began his long and famous motion picture career." ... he followed this with arguably his finest film role of the decade, that of creepy, sadistic gunslinger Jack Wilson who becomes Alan Ladd's biggest nightmare (not to mention others) in the classic western Shane (1953). Their climactic showdown alone is text book.' ...While an understudy to Marlon Brando in the Broadway production of "A Streetcar Named Desire," Brando, who was into athletics, rigged up a punching bag in the theater's boiler room and invited Jack to work out with him. One night, Jack threw a hard punch that missed the bag and landed square on Brando's nose. The star had to be hospitalized and understudy Palance created his own big break by going on for Brando. Jack's reviews as Stanley Kowalski helped get him a 20th Century-Fox contract '
  11. clearly your brother must've been a person who cared for others. May his memories always be with you! I too am quite moved by this song and its meaning
  12. QUOTE (The K Man @ Jun 29 2012, 02:04 PM) And I agree with Todem about the solo in The Garden. It is a good solo, but considering the build-up to it, and how it started off with those first few notes, it should have been a monster, but it ended up being merely a nice solo. The younger Alex Lifeson would have destroyed us with that solo. this
  13. Alex has evolved into Jeff Beck's twin brother. Sometime's it's very interesting, but sometimes I want to hear a ripping solo ala' Headlong Flight
  14. QUOTE (Gedneil Alpeart @ Jun 28 2012, 12:15 PM) QUOTE (Jomboni @ Jun 28 2012, 12:11 PM) It's not his flashiest album, but for the most part, what he is playing is exactly what works in the songs. My only complaint is that his solos are too short. Not in the sense that I think every solo needs to be an extended, epic piece, but there are some where, to my ear at least, it almost sounds like he recorded a really awesome solo and then just decided to chop the second half off. I second this!!!! need more alex, not less
  15. for pure acting I'd go with Nicole Kidman in To Die For, great opening scene.. the first 15 minutes of Quantum of Solace is pretty damn exciting, which does not make up for the rest of that movie. The opening scene of LOTR two Towers is pretty awesome with Gandalf falling and battling the Balrog. AWESOME!
  16. how about a camera above neil looking straight down...he throws his sticks up in the air...LOOK OUT!!!!
  17. QUOTE (ArrowSnake @ Jun 24 2012, 04:50 PM) The Watchmaker analogy is a very well known teleological argument (which I explained in my post above). The Blind Watchmaker: Why the Evidence of Evolution Reveals a Universe without Design is a very famous book by the British ethologist and atheist Richard Dawkins. Neil Peart reads many books. He must know about The Watchmaker Analogy and the book by Dawkins. Peart using the name Watchmaker is not a coincidence I think. Isn't this obvious? Or am I crazy? Maybe I should read books too...
  18. The watchmaker is time itself. It is ever-present. It guides our decisions. It never relents. Time loves us all to death
  19. while we're on the subject of ipods and earbuds. if you have a bucks in you pocket, buy these http://www.etymotic.com/ephp/er4.html simply the greatest sounding buds on the market, at any price. and they are pricey. Ive had several different models over the past 12 years. The warranty is awesome and the company takes care of everything. I just blew a 4 yr old pair through the washer/dryer and twisted the cable into a knot. They replaced everything for $50. brand new set. Awesome people!
  20. Right, reading the pastors review got me thinking that we often view Neil's lyrics through our prism of his anti-religious opinions. But this album has that wizard of 0z feel as stated above. I initially jumpe to the conclusion that the watcaker was Neil's evil version of god. Father time is my bet.
  21. you can quote me here. they will open w SPOTR or some such hit, play a couple deep cuts, then do a 5-6 song suite from CA finishing the first set with The Garden, which will be epic. Then they come out for second set with By-Tor and other such hammerings until we're all whipped into aBroons Bane, Trees Xanadu, Digital Man, Somthing for Nothing, LVS, WM Frenzy! Again, it will all be epic
  22. I'd like them on a platform in the center of the arena, lowered down into the arena when their parts are played and then lifted back up into the darkness until they are needed again.

    cool RUSH story

    I wore my TM shirt to the mall last year while Christmas shopping in Tevanna this 60 year old lade starts having conniptions!"OMG I LOVE RUSH! Greatest band of all time!" my wife was rolling her eyes at the whole thing. 2o minutes later some stoner looking teenagers came up to me and were like "DUDE, I was at that show, f***ing awesome!" 10 minutes later the same thing,...my looks at me and says, "can you not wear that next time"
