  1. We never found out, but we definitely rage against it.
  2. I generally enjoy his videos. If I had known this video was going to spend 30 minutes on how ridiculous the Discovery section of 2112 is, I would have skipped it.
  3. Andy really went off the rails on this one.
  4. Having said my say about Terry Brown and making it up to Alex in the posts above, I will say I did kinda like the remix of DEW. It was definitely different, but not bad. I'll just need to get used to it. It's not like they pre-recorded it, and it's not a cover version. It is everything that was there already.
  5. Wet is with reverb and dry is without. And all the varying degrees in between.
  6. I read an article online not a couple of weeks ago where Alex was quoted as saying that during the mixing of Signals he was sitting at the console with Terry Brown and there was a song playing (I don't know which one) and Alex said he couldn't hear the guitar. So he moved the fader up for the guitar. He said Terry looked at him and smiled at moved the fader back down. Alex was quoted as saying, "I never forgot that."
  7. Is this whole album remix going to be Terry trying to make up with Alex for what he did to Alex on Signals?
  8. Sir, is that Dicktor von Doomcock in your avatar?

  9. Twenty years ago when I really got back into Rush, P/G kind of soared to the top because of my nostalgia with it. It was the first Rush album I bought when it was their current new album. I bought it one night in early 1985 after a pretty big snow storm. My parents and I went out to go to the grocery store. There was a record store next door, and to my surprise it was open. I think it was a Sunday evening, and school was already closed the nest day. So I wanted to buy something. I already knew I liked Distant Early Warning and The Body Electric from the radio, so I went ahead and bought it. I listened to it a few times that night, and I was especially enamored with Between The Wheels. So it was 15 year old me in early 1985, a foot of snow on the ground in late January, listening to this cold sounding album, during the Cold War. Everything about that album for me is cold, and I wouldn't want it any other way. It's interesting though. There was a real warmth to Hemispheres, Permanent Waves, and Signals. Moving Pictures was kind of cold. That's the one album I think pairs up with P/G really well. If they had not made Signals at all, P/G would have been a great follow up to MP. Vital Signs would have been the perfect pointing song to where the band was going next. If Terry can find some buried or muted parts, I'll definitely give it a listen.
  10. No disrespect to Terry Brown, but isn't the original mix on P/G considered excellent? And it was i great improvement over the mix on Signals.
  11. I came! Edit: Wait...$299??? They aren't making enough money off this upcoming tour? They have to bilk fans for $299 or higher?
  12. Fingers crossed for me for this one.
  13. I'm sure Portnoy would have been great. I was just jumping on the bandwagon to bond with fellow fans who were really happy it wasn't him.
