If it isn't this, I have NO CLUE where to begin.

Could the picture represent the song Stick it Out:

 

Don't swallow your pride.

 

In that the president won't swallow his pride and leave Iraq until the job is done?

The other day when my mom and brother were gone and my dad was at work, I sneaked out and went to the record store and bought:

 

Emerson, Lake and Palmer-Brain Salad Surgery

Yes-The Yes Album

Yes-Relayer

 

I am super pleased with all three. Befoer these discoveries, I thought I had run out of good music to buy!

 

Next on my to-buy list is ELP's Tarkus.

I don't have to "go to school." I'm homeschooled. Right now I am sitting in my work area with my brother who is also homeschooled. We are both doing absolutely no work but are on our favorite forums instead. He is on some heavy metal forum.

Got it!!! WoooHoooo!!! It wasn't the most honorable way to achieve my 100th post, but since when am I an honorable kind of guy?

...100th post...

Trying to get to my...

I suppose it would be OK to feed a dog chicken and steak; they probably wouldn't complain! The dog food I give my dog is lamb and rice based. I have heard that you are not supposed to give a dog pork though.

I have a dog. His name is Rudy. He always begs to go out. When I do let him out, he just wants to roll in the grass or, usually, bask in the sun. Can you imagine how cool of a life that would be, simply choosing whether to roll in the grass or sunbathe? Dogs don't have a care in the world. No supervisors, or work, or cooking, or cleaning, or bills, or in-laws.....

I have recently become an Arby's aficionado. I had never eaten there before a week ago, and I just got a job there the day before yesterday. Does anybody here like Arby's?

Because we are BORED, can we post obscene pictures or blurt obscenities on this particular thread??? I particularlly want to have a good rant full of swears, potty language, and insults to the biggest politicians in this country. That would relieve so much stress right now. I also have a bitching headache--not one that is so bad that I could honestly lay down and sob over, but just a dull pain that is slowing me down here-and-there. I will post one hilarious picture for lack of anything better to say or do:

Neil Peart is definitely the most overrated drummer. Just kidding.

I actually like Losing It. It's on Signals, track 7. I wish they could play it live, but they would need a violinist.

To be completely honest, I HATE Neil's setup. I LOVE his drumming but I really dislike how he positions his kit. I like how his kit used to be with the double bass drums--it looked much more mammoth and symmetrical. I wonder if he still has his old kits or if he got rid of them at auction or something. I would love to have his Moving Picture's era kit with all the percussion and Gong basses. That would rule. I have nowhere to put it if I did get it though. My bed would probably have to go.

On drums, I think Subdivisions would be hard because of the meter changes and Tom Sawyer would be hard because of its meter changes and because of its rapid hi-hat pattern. On bass, YYZ and La Villa Strangiato sound equally difficult. Finally on guitar, YYZ and La Villa also sound equally difficult.

Personally, I have a soft spot for the Rickenbackers due to Geddy's early days and Squire's everydays. But until I can afford one, Fender is my weapon of choice.

Anyone noticed that Neil's snare doesn't sound as tight on Different Stages? It sounds deep and loose. I like his Moving Pictures era snare the best. I'm not a drummer though. Your thoughts?

Listening to Natural Science today (first time for a while) I was struck by the vocal effects used during Hyperspace. For the 'Quantum leap forward' verse there's a sort of reverse echo effect used which I think is a fnatastic treatment for a vocal track (I don't know what the proper term for it is). Later, during the 'Computerised clinic' verse, if you listen carefully, you can hear a strange 1970s Science-Fiction computer sound that I love as well.

I've got a couple of faves:

 

Circumstances- the keyboard melody in the middle of the song, reminds me of a carnival or merry-go-round or something festive.

 

YYZ- the keyboard chords played on synthesizer during the bridge of the song; I like the fatness of the chords VERY ANALOG!!!

 

Vital Signs- The high notes played on the keyboard at the end of the song when Geddy sings "Everybody got, mixed feelings..." Also the guitar chording during this same part is very emotion and poignant.

 

Lock and Key- this guitar solo is probably the only time in which Alex's work shows through as this album and Power Windows were heavily laden with synths. Listen to it if you don't believe me.

 

Finally, I love the organ noise at the beginning of Animate, off Counterparts. Counterparts is probably the last great album they did IMO.

Counterparts, to me, is the most underrated Rush album.

 

I play guitar. My gear includes:

 

Guitarification:

Cream Fender Strat with Rosewood Fingerboard

Purple Ibanez S series HSH with Floyd Rose trem

Guild D4 dreadnought acoustic

 

Effectification:

Digitech RP100 effects pedal

MXR distortion+

Crybaby Wah Pedal

 

Amplification:

Fender Hot-Rod Deluxe Tube Amp

 

I have no recording gear and I hope to buy a bass sometime this coming week; probably a black Squier J-Bass and a small amp.

This record and AFTK are the records that I like every single song. Grace Under Pressure, especially. When I bought this record, it really changed my life. Each song has its own special quality that makes me listen to it again. You hear something new each time you listen to one of the songs.

My favorite album is Grace Under Pressure. You gotta love it.
