QUOTE (grimachi @ Jul 14 2010, 06:51 PM) I would really love for the guys to sit down and consciously write an epic piece. I just don't think their writing style leads to that type of product any longer. Over the years (I do not know when it started) they have developed into this multi-jam piecemeal writing style. The first I ever remember them referencing this style was Vapor Trails. Ged and Al get together and just start jamming until that particular idea runs its course. then they will go onto another and then another. Then Ged will go and sit at Pro Tools and piece together different jams that go together or rearrange "this with that" until you have a rough draft for the demos. While not epic pieces in and of themselves, I cannot picture Limelight, Tom Sawyer, or epics like La Villa, Xanadu, or Jacob's Ladder written that way. Even songs like Territories, MHP, and on through to songs on Counterparts all seemed, to me anyway, like thought was actually placed in developing ideas and direction for each song. Now that I think about it, I started really noticing a difference in Test for Echo. Great observation, although I think a few songs off Snakes harken back to the PeW/MP era, even if just a little bit. This new producer (Nick Raskulienczxxxxxxx or whatever) is s self-confessed fan and seems to be pushing them in the right direction. I agree with everything you've said about VT and T4E. Man I'm listening to really hifi rip of the Dutch pressing of Signals at this very moment and would probably go nuts for a new album sounding anything like this.

Chris, Am I correct in assuming that you are suing the band directly rather than StubHub because you know StubHub could only refund the money for your concert tickets and nothing else? You saw targeting Rush as the only possible way to get all expenses ($500+) refunded? Good luck with that one; if I were you I'd drop this asap unless you want to return to Cornell with nothing but a tarnished name.

I suspect the reason you avoided going into this explanation the first time is that you don't have the first friggin' idea what you're talking about. Yeah, you know tons about me Mr. 121 posts. In actuality, I practically lived in court for about a year because of my job previous to the one I have now. Once again, because of the way the legal system works, he CANNOT legally sue anyone except Rush. That is an undeniable fact, and I've seen it played out again and again. What pisses me off is that the media has people believing that this is a disgruntled fan who has turned his back on the band.....I don't that could be any further from the truth. Mr 121 posts? Wow you are really living up to your forum name, Mr Cocky. Who cares how many posts someone has (look at me, I barely have any). Does that make one's opinion of less value? Some of us spend plenty of time here reading discussions and just don't want to participate or don't feel like posting every waking thought we have here. In terms of the OP's case-- I agree with most people here that have pointed out the fine print of the back of the ticket. Too bad man, sorry it sucks. But hey, I support your right to take this court, I just think it'll be a waste of time and money.
