Rush - PLEASE officially retire...

[Lorraine]

Lorraine - PLEASE officially retire to bed! :codger:

Why?

Duckie wants to engage in locker room talk.

I'm not going to bed. It's only three o'clock. Besides, I have a rib-eye steak waiting to broil. :)

 

He'll just have to go back to being minimalistic.

Feed ME too please!

 

But I only bought one steak.

 

We can share.

It was way too much for me, but I managed to eat the whole steak.

If you managed to eat the whole steak it means it WASN'T too much :)

I hate the term "has been rocker", because all it does is show that you don't appreciate shit.

Your definition of things greatly differs from mine.

To me, "has been rocker" shows that the person thinks the musician had some success in the past but hasn't done anything worthwhile recently. Isn't that the common understanding of that phrase?

 

What's your definition of "frog"? To me, a frog is a short-bodied, mostly carnivorous amphibian.

I wasn't going to throw it away, and I don't care for left over steak, so even though i was full, I forced myself to finish it.

Just finished watching the R40 DVD. I now realize what a huge mistake it would be for the guys to come back with another album or another tour (even a small, scaled down one.)

 

Rush is the best rock band ever… in my opinion, at least. I’ve seen 28 shows since 1976… only missed three tours. And, I want to remember them as they were - at the TOP of their game - not some old dudes who are trying hard, but not really doing it.

 

If you're old enough, do you remember watching Mohammed Ali for his last few fights? I don’t want the guys in Rush to pull an Ali. I also don’t want to see them relegated to the casino circuit or playing festivals. Or, worse, playing on “package tours” along side other bands that were once great.

 

Rush is over… let’s be happy we saw them when we did. Think about the song, "Losing it."

 

This is why The Police went out like they did in 1983 or 1984*. They didn't want to be those old guys who lost it.

 

 

 

*Well until much later with the reunion of course!

 

That and they hated each other.

Count me in for a Styx/Rush/Journey/Kansas tour package in 2019. Who´s with me???

 

You might have forgotten Foreigner . . . .

And REO speed wagon !

And Cheaptrick.

 

nah. Cheap Trick are still playing well and enjoying themselves. They aren't really in it for the money like Styx/Boston/Journey/Kansas/etc. They just end up on those tours. And they still rock live. I guess Journey does too, but they've been playing the same show for 15 years with no change. Cheap Trick switches it up every night.

I find this assessment odd coming from you, fraroc.

We all need to earn and remain active so I find these "only in it for the money" naive. Cheap Trick may be having fun and switch up their show but they're earning, keeping active and not draining their savings. They ain't playin' for free. Not sure how much "Live at Budokon" still earns the guys but it's unlikely enough to keep them knee deep in hookers and gin.

Depends on where the hookers and gin are from :hail:

 

((I agree with you. And good for Cheap Trick! I saw them 2 or 3 years ago and they were on fire!))

why the f**k do you care whether they "officially" retire or not? don't be such an entitled prick, if they want to continue working, who are you to tell them not to? if they do continue and you don't like what they do, go the f**k away and remember them "as they were" all you want, but let them make their own choices about whether or not they want to continue to do what they've been doing all their lives.
