angel in my armor

I kinda dug the white/pink hued Ludwig kit...his last double kick kit as a matter of fact.Thought they sounded great and looked good too.

I'm pretty sure Alex at one point stated in an interview that it says "outta my road"....

As much as I agree with Neil owing us nothing more then the music he plays I also think when you are an entertainer which is what he is I do find it a bit of a contradiction that he loves the flashy solo spotlight,shiny gold plated hardware and entertaining an audience but wants to have nothing to do with them...thats just my opinion.

After considerable reflection I must admit that I was wrong in my hasty response to an earlier post...please accept this as my formal apology for any hostility that this might have caused....the tie has been loosened...the toupee is airing on the rack and a cold Guinness in hand..How bout that band RUSH!!

Doesn't look or sound to me like he's broke a head......looks like he's sayin "echo" and gesturing to his snare drum! Good eye..does look like he is saying "echo" and pointing to his snare...I've had that happen to me while playing live,something went south on the board and I was getting like a four times echo in my monitor from my snare..messes you up big time..

Got it...love it...very well done in my opinion.Well thought out as the description and breakdown of the played examples...great sound too I might ad...and the live footage of the isolated Neil shots are excellent...two thumbs up!!

Something else that I was noticing on Neils new DVD was that in a few shots of him warming up he looked either really tires ( as in just woke up) or like he`d been on a binge the night before....he seemed to have the booze nose going on..I`ve never read anything about him indulging such as that aside from the early days...anyone else notice that or have read anything...

I dont know why I havent seen any greys on Alex, but at his age he should definitely have them, so I guess it's possible he dyes it, but I dont even know why he would bother with that massive bald spot. Dying his hair really is not helping anything, if he does do it. And who the hell cares anyway? If they werent rockstars noone would ever look twice at any of them, but since they are, they could go out there rocking full heads of grey hair and it wouldnt matter. Being a rockstar instantly makes you attractive to women. It's amazing. The people that care about such trivial matters are the same ones that join forums such as this and post,comment and then complain about the content of such posts on the forum. I'm sure there are individuals that want to know but don't ask.... "What Rush song are you listening to right now"??..

Oh. Thank you for clarifying. My pleasure..glad I could help...

QUOTE (D3strukt @ Dec 6 2011, 03:39 PM) Geddy has a bit on his soul patch. He also HAD a streak of grey in the part at the front. Why do I know this? What the hell is wrong with me? Good post...I vaguely remember that too.
