What was that? I can't hear your posting over your stereo. Turn it down!!!

Did you know it's impossible to kill yourself by holding your breath? Once you pass out reflex kicks in and you start breathing on your own anyway, like you're asleep. (unless you're reallllllly stupid!)

I agree with rushgoober.

I agree with him 100% in this interview, especially the part where he goes into religious beliefs conflicting with political affiliations. I think if we say too much more this thread is going to get moved!

I should have looked at this forum a long time ago. Another one of my favorite bands. I have a playlist on my phone that's a mix of Godspeed, Mogwai, Tangerine Dream, Explosions IN the Sky, and other stuff along those lines, and it's good for everything from background music at work, to video games to Did anybody get to see them on their reunion tour last year? They were really good although I was a bit bummed they didn't play "Moya" at the Philly date. Has anybody listened to their other band, A Silver Mt. Zion? It's a similar style but heavier overall and it has vocals. The singer is terrible, but in a way similar to Bob Dylan where it fits the music.

Hey neat thread, glad I found this. Zombi is one of my favorite bands and I've seen them live quite a few times. Definitely a cool mix of Goblin, Tangerine Dream, and '80s Rush. Isis is my absolute 2nd favorite band ever right behind Rush. Comets on Fire were pretty good too... I think Avatar is my favorite by them.

I was asked to post this by Tombstone Mountain because he can't copy & paste his phone(scroll down for spoiler): http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d153/avplanners/SteamKimono.jpg

I thought this was another joke post until I looked at that thread... which is also another joke post, but then halfway through there actually is a picture of somebody from the orchestra in a kimono, standing in front of one of Alex's amps. I think it looks cool!

Got mine on Monday!

They're not going to play a 20 minute song when they've already said they plan on playing most of the new album.... (and Geddy can barely sing it anymore, even downtuned)

I'm not an audiophile but the vinyl definitely sounds better to my ears, compared to both the early leaked version, and the free mp3 download you get with the vinyl. I haven't heard the actual cd but I'm assuming it's pretty close to the free download. Definitely more "space" on the vinyl version, I guess is the best way to put it.

(plus it's one of the best songs on the album )

It's the second single, so it's basically a given that it's going to be a part of the set.

I just think there's too much singing on Wish Them Well (and too much guitars, bass, and drums too). The rest of the album is a-ok!

I didn't see that! I assumed when it said "Clockwork riff" that it was... a riff from Clockwork Angels.

The opening to Carnies??? All I hear is Working Man

If they got rid of at least one of the three, that would seriously help the setlist. Keep dreaming! Those songs aren't going anywhere!

There are like a billion guitar tracks on Vapor Trails and he managed to do those live

You hear anything on MP that sounds like it didnt fit, or anything even close to stock rock with just some boring chord progressions and unappealing vocal melodies slapped on top of it? The Camera Eye is, basically, one song played twice in a row, and they don't even bother to transition half the parts together, they just stop playing, wait for a few seconds, and start playing a new part.

I think it is going to be the next single but they usually space them out. Probably a little closer to the tour!

I think they take out a verse and (unfortunately) a chunk of the bridge.

I think everybody who is expecting them to pull out Losing It are setting themselves up for disappointment.

Above Average. I can't pick a single favorite album though, basically Permanent Waves through Power Windows.

Wow, Headlong Flight was a bad choice of a song to try to learn after not touching my bass for 2 months. Ouch!
