  1. QUOTE (pdurbin22 @ Sep 6 2012, 12:59 PM) Well, this all but confirms Signals will be getting special attention in the set. At least that means I have an extremely good chance of finally hearing ANALOG KID!!! Sorry...but the artwork on the tourbook confirms nothing regarding the set list.
  2. Someone, several tours ago, was waving a banner in front of me for a very short period of time. I am sure that they will never pull a stunt like that again.

QUOTE (bigalfan @ Sep 5 2012, 11:07 AM) QUOTE (SolitaryPine @ Sep 5 2012, 09:10 AM) Wow, great thread, but I'm surprised nobody has even mentioned Jacobs Ladder as a possible with the string section. It would be amazing to hear THAT with strings. I have some gut feeling that says that we are going to be blown completely away by some of the string arrangements accompanying or, preferably, replacing the keyboards. I think Geddy would absolutely LOVE to be free of all keyboards for at least one tour, right? See you all on Friday. The countdown is ON! Jacob's Ladder has been discussed in other threads. Neil said something along the lines of 'We tried it in rehearsals for S&A, but it just didn't work. Some times you just have leave things like they are' - something along those lines. Kinda gave the unfortunate impression they weren't going to play it live anymore. But - who knows! I would LOVE to hear it on this tour. I take that as him implying that the song did not necessarily fit into the set. I am sure they will play it live before hanging up the instruments for good. It is incredible as to what conclusions people can draw from a few simple words.
  4. Hope they play Stairway to Heaven. That song kicks!
  5. You are all wrong....its FREEBIRD!!!!!!!!!
  6. If it is their last, I am glad they have not made that announcement. How many times have music fans heard the "this is our last....." to only find out differently? What a joke that is.... RUSH - I hope you go out into the night with style and class.
  7. "Meaningless" could be applied to about 75% of the threads created around here. What is one more thread about a simple little oversight...or whatever one may wish to call it...just sayin"
  8. Discounting the 2012 Football Season already....they suck....again. lol

The Anarchist New World Man Carnies Freewill Halo Effect Xanadu Set 2: Analog Kid Seven Cities of Gold Jacobs Ladder The Wreckers Losing it Tears Manhattan Project Headlong Flight YYZ - Neil's Drum Solo Alex's Solo - Different Strings BU2B2/Wish Them Well La Villa Strangiatto The Gardens (Extended Solo) Encore: (With Strings) Subdivision Tom Sawyer Limelight 2nd Encore (Without Strings) The Spirit of Radio Hemispheres (Prelude) 2112 Overture/Temples/ Finale I could do without Freewill--otherwise fantastic list Amen Brother!!!!!! Freewill needs to go!
  10. Need to bring back The Main Monkey Business. IMO, the best instrumental since La Villa.
  11. QUOTE (bigalfan @ Aug 27 2012, 03:26 PM) I know you're working hard - appreciate all you do - but please, back the volume knobs off just a tad bit...say maybe to a 8.75 instead of an 11 for this tour. Saw 'The Wall' over the summer, it sounded GREAT! The key? They backed off the LOUD factor just a tad. Proof positive you don't HAVE to be at an 11 for an arena concert, as a matter of fact, it's preferable. So, please...please...know when to say when with the volume. That is all. Thank you for your time...not that you'll ever see this, but it feels good just to say it. +1 on the Roger Waters comment. AWESOME sound and great show. The Rush crew could learn from that example.
  12. QUOTE (micgtr71 @ Aug 10 2012, 09:15 AM) QUOTE (losingit2k @ Aug 5 2012, 09:10 PM) If you really need a Poll to convince you to pay $ 70 to go to a RUSH concert. I say no! Go see someone else! Maybe after seeing 2 other acts for $ 35 each play for an hour or an hour and a half or so you will come to your senses and realize how ignorant your were for even posting this. You know, this is pretty harsh from someone who consistently posts which songs they are going to play/not play between the announcement of the tour and opening night... +1

QUOTE (Tombstone Mountain @ Aug 10 2012, 09:58 AM) QUOTE (HowItIs @ Aug 10 2012, 05:40 AM) QUOTE (Tombstone Mountain @ Aug 9 2012, 08:44 AM) QUOTE You suck as a person LIX. very arrogant to say such a thing on an international forum. Really? Saying that someone you don't even know "sucks as a person" is pretty effing arrogant. Seriously? Because he disagrees with you about something he sucks as a person? This sort of personal attack isn't looked upon kindly here. Maybe you owe him - and all of us who can actually carry on a civil conversation - an apology. Not that' I'll hold my breath. HowItIs, you post is the one I wish to address, moreso than any other. Well, what I do know about him? His interaction with me on the board, leads me to the conclusion, that yes, "he sucks as a person". Why on earth would I ever say that about another human being? Lets start here. a thread is created on Random Samples about fake threads. I'm a person who creates, not just fake threads, but by the admission of the people on the board, elaborate fake threads. Why I do that is not the topic...let us forage through the dense jungle of reality. On this thread about the fake stories, I make a comment about my threads responding to a post by Sheldon Cooper, his states: I agree (about fake threads he dislikes). They need to be well done, and somewhat rare. and now my response comment That's why reading mine are such a delight...they are funny, but mostly to people with a sense of humor. Now here come's the LIX response: Wow, I bet you are flexible enough to pleasure yourself too! You have like 5 people tell you that your threads are funny. So obviously in your mind, you are doing this forum a favor by posting this inane garbage. People that find your threads/posts to be absolutely stupid does not mean they do not have a good sense of humor. That is one hell of a logical fallacy.... "I'm a great cook, I like my food, my family likes my food. Everyone else that tries my food hates it - so they must not have any taste." Brilliant you are. End statement Now, How it is, would you find that out of line and inappropriate response? Aren't those "five" (which it's much more than that) people worthy of enjoying something they like? We share a common connection. This is a place the do such a thing. So, now, in response LIX insult that I post this: This coming from a man who has Homer Simpson chasing a doughnut for his avatar. Stick with bread recipes Dawg!!! End statement Now, just for the sake of brevity, I combine the next two he makes: And what has this to do with anything? Again - complete debate fail. When you cannot talk about the topic at hand you try and slander the opposition. You failed on both fronts. This might help you Einstein: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fallacies See: Ad hominem... I believe it's Greek for dumbass. So, HowitIs, do I owe him an apology for saying he sucks as a person? Hmmmm...gonna be waiting a long time for that one. He's shown me mostly disdain. When I started posting on this board he left a comment on a thread that said, "oh, so you want to be known as that kind of poster?" I gave him the courtesy of a PM stating my position...nothing offensive about that PM. So I guess it just reached a boiling point when I read his comment about the brazilian audience. It touched a nerve because I honestly can't see why ANY rush fan would find that annoying. that act of joining the band in a song without words. So anyway, say what you will--that is where I'm coming from. TM Very nicely done!
  14. Very nicely done!!!!!!
  15. Me thinks that above poster should foolow his/her own advice. Just sayin'.
  16. I really liked the crowd singing along to YYZ. Iron Maiden's Rio DVD is wild too - 250,000 fans at that show though. Let them sing loud!!!!!!!!!!!!
  17. STOP!!!!! PLEASE STOP!!!!!! I only want factual Rush information to be posted in here. I cannot stand silliness!!!!!
  18. Lots of good new music out there. CA has been dropped from my cd changer. Looking forward to new Marillion as well.

You can assume that if it's from Tombstone Mountain, it's a fake. Then you can stop taking your shits on all the fun that we have making em and the fun that the people who are positive have commenting and reading them. +1
  20. There needs to be a cheese smiley to go with all the whine.
  21. If this has to be explained...... 1. It jacks people off, IOW - it gets a reaction and it is funny.... 2. It fills the void of no official information 3. Its a public forum site - anyone who expects all posts to be true and accurate may have their expectation bar raised a little high. What real harm is being done? What...your life is so important that taking 5 seconds to read a post that is "not official" is that damaging? Really????????? Smoke some and chill.....
  22. Everyone has internet muscles. But that is ok...
