Mystic Slipperman

Lock And Key

This is funny. The general attitude of the long-timers is yeah, nothing we haven’t heard before...while some will undoubtedly get into it and explain and explain and explain, all over and over again. But in the end, I don’t think anyone’s minds will be changed.

 

Let the circle jerk continue. The faster we go, the rounder we get...

 

 

 

And in the end, does it even matter?

Nothing left to do but smile, smile, smile...

 

 

(hey, if you think being a Rush fan is hard in this regard, try being a Yes-diehard.....)

My friend Steve and I apparently are going to see Crimson in September. He's never seen them (something he can't quite believe because he's been aware of them forever)... and I've only seen them once (1995).

 

Can't wait!!!

 

Going to be a lot different than the double trio.

 

Definitely will.. that's one of the reasons I am looking forward to it.

I'm curious as to how an individual can 'drive to 1981' to quote Robert Fripp of King Crimson.

 

That's a lot of miles to put on a vehicle for sure.

 

Guess one would have to pick up a league of gentlemen and a few roches along the way......not to mention a fine session bassist/Stickist and a Bowie/Zappa tour alumni....

My favorite live Stones release so far is "Brussels Affair"... it's EXPENSIVE as a CD, but for a time you could purchase it officially as a download... Holy crap... 1973 Mick Taylor-era. Just wonderful.

The Police - Friends (B-side of De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da)

The Police - Once Upon A Daydream (B-side of Synchronicity II - I think...)

 

Genesis - It's Yourself (B-side of Your Own Special Way, for one)

Genesis - Twilight Alehouse (B-side of I Know What I Like)

Genesis - You Might Recall (B-side of Paperlate...later showed up on Three Sides Live).

There's definitely somethin' that sounds out-of tune between the 2 guitars and the bass. But it kinda MAKES it, you know? It has extra attitude.

101. Owner Of A Lonely Heart - Yes

102. Boston - Smokin'

103. Sweet Child O' Mine- Guns N Roses

104. Modern Love - David Bowie

105. The Prisoner - Iron Maiden

 

 

...a Maiden tune with SEVERAL killer riffs.

 

Really happy to see The Rover and Supernaut on the first part of the list :)

As of now... has it changed much since the last time?

 

1) Red Barchetta

2) Time Stand Still

3) Bravado

4) Dreamline

5) Ghost of a Chance

6) Subdivisions

7) Force Ten

8) The Spirit of Radio

9) Limelight

10) Xanadu

 

That's a good list.

 

I don't use any of those things that would tell me what mine is.

 

Thanks! It's also a mix of studio and live versions.. I couldn't tell you more specific than that! (unless I looked into the metadada from last.fm or iTunes... ain't nobody got time for that!)

 

Other than the play count on my iTunes, I decided to use last.fm starting in around 2010. Not sure why; maybe I thought it would be a fun, nerdy thing to do! :D Needless to say, I got hooked.

 

Without either of these things, I'd have no idea either. :)

 

Makes sense tho... since I do listen mostly to the 80s era (and up through 1992)....that said, the older stuff is getting more play these days.

Dreamline - R30 version

I like to hear a band re-interpret their material for the stage. Obviously Neil and the dudes didn't want to do that, which necessitated triggering some parts. Whatever. :)

I don't think I'd be able to do this either.. too daunting. Besides, there's always some fluctuation. But that was an interesting read!

Good people. :)

Lorraine, that's fabulous :)

Christmas Bells

 

 

Neil Diamond

Cygnus X-1

Yep. still my favorite Rush album as well.

 

 

 

Shout out for Entre Nous. What a tightly arranged, perfect song.

Man... what memories... I love the Cars. They were definitely one of the first bands I got into as a young kid... their first 4 albums are all gold to me (although the first 2 are the best).

I really wanna go... but as of right now I have a gig of my own the same night they are in LA. Dammit!!

Last Rush tune I heard was the live version of Spirit of Radio (from Exit...Stage Left)
