QUOTE (savagegrace26 @ Dec 3 2009, 02:26 PM) His comment seemed to merely pointing out that he doesn't listen to Springsteen's style of pop music. There doesn't seem to be anything regarding progressive rock in Geddy's statement. That is a meaning you're trying to create on your own. And where does he say anything about "Pop music" ??? Who's creating their own meaning here? C'mon man...if you're going to try to prove me wrong or "assume" I'm assuming anything..don't contradict yourself doing it. Destroys your whole point.

QUOTE (savagegrace26 @ Dec 3 2009, 02:22 PM) Regardless if I did, you're assuming that Geddy's comment had anything to do with Springsteen's assertion that he had elements of prog early in his career. Geddy said Springsteen's music was not his style, and Springsteen's music has largely had nothing to do with prog. So any connections you're finding is grasping at straws at best. I'm not assuming ANYTHING..I didn't post this thread! I'm reflecting what was implied in the first post..if you read it you will see. You say I'm assuming what Geddy meant in his statement..then you follow with your explanation of what Geddy meant! Is it safe to say part of Geddy's taste is Prog..or prog-like music?..of course it is. And did Springsteen state that his early stuff was prog-like?..yes he did..read it! If anything, you're the one grasping at straws somehow trying to prove me wrong about nothing! Doesn't make sense. This thread was started just to show an amuzing little tidbit of speculation..nothing factual or serious here!

QUOTE (savagegrace26 @ Dec 3 2009, 01:26 PM) [/quote] Hmmm, is prog rock really a 'style'? And how has it been since since Rush has really been a 'prog rock' band? Sorry, no connection. You're trying to make it seem like 'Prog rock' is the only 'style' Geddy listens to. I doubt that. Yes..Prog-rock can be classified as a "style" ..like "jazz".."rock"..."metal".etc., ..styles of music. **Websters Defnition: Style NOUN: 1.The way in which something is said, done, expressed, or performed: a style of speech and writing. 2.The combination of distinctive features of literary or artistic expression, execution, or performance characterizing a particular person, group, school, or era. *** ...and yes not all..but MANY consider Rush to have been clasified as "prog-rock". ...and..quote me on writing anything remotely to fact of claiming Geddy ONLY listens to prog-rock. Missed the whole concept and point bro. Forget about it.. Rush4ever..I get what you meant.

QUOTE (ReRushed @ Dec 2 2009, 09:31 PM) Geddy says he respects Springsteen but his style of music isn't his thing. Okay. I see no connection. Geddy did not "shoot down" what Springsteen said. Listen to "Rosalita" and you'll hear what Springsteen is talking about. Yeah, it's not "Thick as a Brick" but it's pretty intense. First of all..I didn't mean "shoot down" in a malicious negative way. Second..If Springsteen is claiming his "style" to have been prog-like and Geddy(a prog'er) is saying his "style" is not his thing....uhmmm..what's that saying? Like when a new band comes out claiming to be Rush-like..then you listen to them and they're more Billy Idol-like. So if I had to make a politically correct public opinion on it, it would be what Geddy said..."just not my thing". Whatever... Man.. I love trying to micro-edit thoughts on threads...soooo worth the time.

I think I get what Rushfan4ever is saying. It's basically an implied connection by Springsteen that Geddy then shoots down. Saying his stuff was almost prog rock..and then a prog rocker (Ged) saying it just wasn't his thing. Gotta say..I was holding my breath when opening this thread hoping to God I wasn't gonna read about some collaboration or something.

I dug the flick..very Raimi'esque..even down to the little soft piano chords during the suspense scenes..like the ones in ED.
