  1. Not just because the title is great, but they're saying Carnies really rocks! I was very close to picking Clockwork Angels, but Carnies just has me so intrigued.
  2. To compare new to old, I felt that since Hemispheres they had matured in to grown men and given up on the imaginative ways of the sounds and stories they had once created in their youth. Most of their songs from the 80's on weren't lyrically about fantasy or grand tales, they were more about real life feelings and situations. With that said, the reason CA has me so excited is because these 3 guys who are nearly 60 years old have gone back to using their imaginations and taking risks, unlike what they did with S&A and VT (I still love both of those albums). Neil actually wrote a story this time, rather than just expressing his feelings poetically. Their songs, while not NS, Xanadu, or La Villa, are less chained than they have been in recent years. Yes, I know that it's not quite like it used to be, but it's a slight return to form that I think most Rush fans have been missing since the 80's. And I hope that it turns out really great, for them and for us.
  3. I listened to both of the interviews with Geddy, and he says nearly the same things both times. Even down to the 2 The Who song examples from Tommy.
  4. I Luh-uh-ove the second pic! It's my desktop as of now.
  5. I'm gonna have to say, I have no idea what's going on in this thread anymore. I think I'm just gonna go ahead and stay out of it from here on out, cos I'm seriously confused.
  6. I'm just honored that Neil Peart wrote a song for me! I've always wanted my very own Rush tune!
  7. I tried to apologize, oh well. Have a great day, Mr. Terrapin! Too bad we couldn't be best friends, I'm deeply saddened and probably won't get any sleep tonight thinking about you!
  8. Just realized that Mr. Terrapin isn't familiar with the term 'butthurt'. Thus, he assumed I was dumb, and couldn't spell. Ironic! Also, he seemed to get very angry when the post wasn't even directed at him. I apologize to you sir, if you do so accept. Unless you're just mad because I didn't enjoy the OP's post. In which case, I don't care.
  9. I'm charmed that you feel the need to waste your precious time 'insulting' me! Glad I could be such a big part of your day today! Keep em coming, sir
  10. God, it's fun watching nerds get upset over a 2 word post (directed at the OP, I might add).
  11. The swirling red clouds on the cover are clearly a direct reference to 9/11. I am OFFENDED! And the Watchmaker is obviously Osama Bin Laden.
  12. "Geddy Lee can hear a mouse fart on the other side of the room!" I can't stop laughing at this! I keep getting this visual of Geddy in the studio sitting there with his bass, then his ears perk up and he says: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_SlwgzsKUg...76AE8B888B5BDE2
  13. I loved 'Different Wings' from Permanent Waves. And the song 'Resist' was all about Neil's addiction. "I can learn to resist any wing but temptation." Says it all right there...
  14. Like I said, Rush are CANADIAN. And as the number 3 references go, how about the Hold Your Fire album cover, just off hand? There's a million more, but that's the most obvious.
  15. This is the most ridiculous argument ever. It's freaking 21:12, not 9:11. And Rush are Canadian, not that they didn't care that it happened, but they aren't even American. Sorry for your loss man, but seriously STOP trying to force this issue. It's getting a little childish.
  16. Oh, I remember the big Columbus seating debacle of 2010. I had seats in lower bowl closest to Geddy, awesome seats by the way, and they sold so many tickets that those f***ers decided to add another section ahead of me to sell more tickets. I was furious, and was in a battle with them for days to give me the seats I originally purchsed, I won in the end and got my seats changed but the whole thing SUCKED.
  17. Even though I got 17th row floor Alex's side on the MT presale, I decided to check the livenation presale for Columbus today, can't believe there are no floor seats at all! So glad I was able to luck out on Monday, and good luck to those who haven't been able to score any yet!
  18. One more thing, could this be moved to the CA part of the forum? I didn't realize I was in the tour section when I clicked new topic. My bad, my head ain't on straight today I guess.
  19. ps. guess you don't have to be a genius to post links, just put the address down and it does it itself
  20. I was on Amazon last night, trying to find the track lengths for the new album (I know, they aren't posted there, but they're on best buy and RIAB) and I noticed a preorder option for CA that was an import edition saying it will be released May 29th. I know this isn't the case for the US, but I wonder if you preordered that edition if you could get it early? Either way, I'm not getting it because it runs at almost $50. Here's the link (or address, I dunno how to do links even though I attended a web-publishing class for 5 weeks): http://www.amazon.com/Clockwork-Angels-Rus...36492755&sr=8-3 So this brought me to my next question mark, do you think Rush might stream the album early in advance? Perhaps on May 29th, or a week before it's released? I don't know if Rush are the kind of band to do this, but I know a lot of bands in recent years have been streaming their entire albums a week or so early. Just this year, The Mars Volta, Tenacious D, and Jack White have all streamed their albums in advance (that I know of). I kinda hope they do, myself. That way everyone can hear it at once, and I won't have to worry about my preordered fan pack and vinyl edition to come a day or 2 late. Would have posted a poll, but those are kinda overdone and I'm not really even sure how to do that, so we'll just discuss it old fashioned style.
  21. Got Row Q, Alex's side for Columbus. 17th row at $100 a ticket seemed more reasonable than $325 per ticket for possible 15th row, so I'm pretty happy!
