  1. Listening to caravan as I type...predictable so far, its that Rush signature sound...doesn't mean good or bad but doesn't excite me much . Production seems better than their last couple albums though... BUTB next
  2. ^^ And that is exactly why I dont bother investing to stand right up front...with a few bears down, i generally need a few stops .. But that is still unfortunate that it happened. On the other hand, glad to hear you had such a good time.
  3. They are freaking' good. Another vote for them!
  4. I did at least one concert alone and on top took a 4 hour greyhound journey.. It was lynyrd skynyrd .. I must be huge fan of them back then.. or a hippie ..

The song is set up for Gavin and Steven to improvise. The whole ending is just them doing whatever they want for as long as Gavin wants. Gavin improvises a little in every song, and never plays the same exact drum parts from one show to the next. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xj-gBejUQiE Cool, thanks. The more I listen to PT, the more I see that it's hit or miss with me. But the good stuff is REALLY good. The "Hit or miss" is most likely due to 2 different era's in PT's music. So if you like the heavier songs, then PT from "In-Absentia" (2002) onwards is for you. Don't bother about pre 2002 cause that's totally diffferent... Most PT fans however like both.. But it may be good for you to work your way backwards!!..
  6. I read that in a michigan concert recently, he kept shouting "Hello Ohio"...

Don't get me wrong, I am loving the new PT.... but I am actually kind of dissapointed that Steven Wilson did not do anything with "Insurgentes" this year, other than the release.. In hindsight, I think it might have been a good thing if the PT album was pushed back 2 or so months, and allow time for Wilson to support his solo album for just a bit.... It was amazing, and seeing or hearing some of those tunes live, and possibly getting a live CD or DVD out of it would have been really cool. I agree. Insurgentes is great. It would have been cool for him to have toured solo to support it. What would be nice is if PT adds some of Wilson's solo stuff to the set list for a second leg of the tour. Harmony Korine and/or No Twilight Within the Courts of the Sun live. That would be amazing. I would think that may happen in future after he has couple albums under him. But i doubt it would have been any success just yet, after all people are still figuring and finding PT. I doubt the attendence to SW concert would have been much.....
  8. QUOTE (Steevo @ Nov 6 2009, 09:01 PM) QUOTE (sullysue @ Nov 7 2009, 02:42 PM)At any rate, I do get looks. I have a monster stereo system in the van, and a Bazooka subwoofer and a nifty little amplifier conveniently mounted in the back right over the emergency release for the spare tire. You gotta make sacrifices, right? BTW, still awaiting that damn PT DVD...something tells me I'm not meant to have this until next year!! "Arriving somewhere"??
  9. I dont think there would be an Opeth without mixture of growls and clean. That's what makes them special, and though some may not like the growls understandbly, it's probably the biggest factor that makes the clean side sound even more beautiful. Just imagine how beautiful a calm morning is after a nights loud storm!!! That's Opeth!!...
  10. i love it... and have loved every other album of theirs.
  11. QUOTE (1-0-0-1-0-0-1 @ Sep 30 2009, 03:51 PM) Is it me, or is the heavy riff in the middle of "Fear Of A Blank Planet" (after the little drum break) one of the best riffs ever? That riff just kills. Totally there with you....but I dont know if its their best riff. Steve amazes me with all the variety of riffs he comes up with. They are pure heavy, killing... I just love to try on my guitar to see how and where he is coming from...I dont think I have succeeded in decyphering his mind at all In their live show few days back, I thought the most killer part was the cut out Anesthetize. That rocked the house...I still hear it my head..everyone shouting "Only Apathy"....Damn...
  12. QUOTE (greg2112 @ Sep 30 2009, 10:11 AM) Have to admit guys, when I bought the new PT and listened to it the first couple of times it didnt really grab me. But the more and more I listen to it (particularly the Incident straight through) the more I like - or should I say love it. This album is a classic "grower," which often turn out to be the best ones. And I cant wait to see it performed live on the second leg And let me just add how great it is that in this itunes single age as we still have bands that produce quality full "albums" out there -- PT RULES!!! Ha..just hand an iPOD to Steven and see "Pop"!!
  13. I saw them couple days back open up for PT. I thought they were ok, i am not huge fan of their music so I guess its what it is. Or maybe it was the anticipation of PT
  14. I go to see them tonight at Baltimore...would be awesome..top band. Relevant to Rush, I have seen pics of Neil Pert in one of their earlier show...that was cooll. Gavin even mentioned he was tight and bit nervous knowing Neil was in the crowd...Respect to the master!!.. But Gavin is amazing, a natural successor to the throne..
  15. I tried but couldn't get in. I am not sure what but something didnt work well....... at all.
  16. PT really got me listening prog music again and in a different way. I consider them modern prog...at least after In-Absentia.. The period before is bit pshychedelic floydish...nice though. I see them in 3 weeks live..can't wait. They have been my fav since 2001 (in-absentia came out)... luv them. Also check out S.W. other projects - Blackfield, No-man, Opeth (another top band...).. S.W. has also been working on King Crimson remasters..Everything he does is gold!!..simple.
