that's pretty amazing

i remember when they used to play whole albums on fm radio, and concerts, and album track requests. those were the days.

disagree completely that only 4 new songs should be played at a gig! if a band is fired up over their new material they should play as much of it as they want. i'd rather hear new songs played with excitement than the same old songs played by the motions.

s&a tour 2008 setlist kicked ass

i wasn't crazy about the time machine tour setlist but damn were the performances great

wow some people think humor is a bad thing, interesting i started liking rush more when i realized they had a sense of humor!

I'm not trying to change opinions just highlight how many Rush fans are complete morons whilst somehow believing that their love of Rush somehow suggests they have a higher intellect than the average. It's very noble eking enjoyment out of a broken product but it's ultimately pointless. wait, i thought you said it wasn't noble?

there's nothing noble about not liking the album as it is, either or about being an abrasive c***!

it's a great album filled with passion and emotion go jerk off to your saga and loverboy, earl, and leave vt alone!

Don't be silly, I understand not wanting to go any where. But at some point you need to get out of the house. don't tell a depressed person they are being silly, it is very demeaning and doesn't help anything WTF dude? Don't sit there and preach to me. He or she can do what ever they want. I don't care. Sitting around all day at home will never solve the problem. What ever it is. you can encourage someone to get out and do something without insulting them and belittling their problems by calling them silly Ok, Sweetheart. How was I insulting? by calling someone's pain silly that is insulting What's , Pain silly? You have no idea what you are talking about. It's that simple. I will PM the person just to make you feel better and say I am sorry. We all go through rough times in our lives. God knows, I have. Silly isn't saying some thing like. Get the fu** out of the house idiot. Right? :sarcastic: so you're saying that it should be okay to belittle jamie's pain because you told her not to be silly instead of cursing at her? swell. there are plenty of caring and compassionate ways to encourage a depressed person to take some action to try to help themselves, but calling them silly is not one of them.

agreed! in this theme i hate the insulting of other people's taste that goes on. it's one thing to did a song or album but it's really annoying when people start in on the 'you're crazy' and 'get your ears checked' stuff just because someone doesn't think moving pictures is the greatest album of all time or because the like the debut. i don't like it but i'm not going to judge your personal characteristics just because you do! also that stupid FIXED shit has to go! I've had a couple run ins with people who've done the "fixed" to my posts. If it gets quoted on another page it starts to look like you actually posted what they "fixed." It's actually quite a rude thing to do. People do it thinking its funny but it's not. i agree, it's like saying 'f**k you, you can't say anything that matters.' it's not funny or clever at all.

Are you kidding? That's how people get their post count up. :D fair enough but another i don't understand is why people care about their post counts. it's a point of pride that you can spend that much time on the internet? i think i'd want to kill myself if i was so hard-up to achieve something that a post count would fill the bill! i sort of hate myself already for how involved i've gotten with this place and facebook, wtf happened to my life

i can't think of any rush songs that aren't better live.

i hate people who hate people

he's not worth it, nobody is worth that!

people who feel the need to weigh in on everything even if all they have to say is that they don't know anything about the topic also constant injokes

that's an interesting interpretation, never thought of that but it does make sense, maybe the entire song is metaphors for drugs and drinking and not a story about an epic quest after all. think about it, it fits!

rush fans are not generally any more intelligent than other rock fans

i met john cougar in 1995 and he was a dick and was rude to my wife, so i'll go with pat.

i really hope that geddy and alex decide to tour and play rush music with a different drummer, both because i'd love to hear that music played lived again and because it would piss off all the purists.
