Pound of Obscure Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Regardless of level of fandom, the omission of Subdivisions is glaring. Stick It Out over Subdivisions? But Stick It Out *RAWKS*, man! :Phttps://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=beavis+and+butthead%2c+rush&view=detail&mid=54C9C321943E39C84C0C54C9C321943E39C84C0C&FORM=VIRE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony R Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 (edited) Cannot believe there are people worrying about someone else’s choice of favourite Rush tracks. What are you guys, 12 years old?Yet here you are, worrying about people worrying about someone else's choices of favorite Rush music. ;) i didn't even know Tony R was still a thing. he's a mythical creature who show's up every six months give or take to feed with his hate than disappears into the morning mist. :D Mick And you are still annoying self-absorbed, un self-aware twat.

snowdogged Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Making lists like this is pretty impossible when you love the band as much as I imagine we all do, but here are some quick thoughts: #1 is way too pedestrian, IMO. Not trying to be snooty, but the song has never blown me away. I get why it's a crowd favorite, but for me it doesn't do much. Red Barchetta also is too high, IMO. Again, the song doesn't excite me as much as other songs. On the converse, another obvious choice for #1 - Tom Sawyer - would have been fine by me. Go figure. La Villa needs to be higher. We're talking top 10. Interesting to place Jacob's Ladder so high (if at all). Regardless of level of fandom, the omission of Subdivisions is glaring. No quibbles that Roll the Bones isn't on there. It's another one of those "take it or leave it" songs for me. No opinion on Stick It Out being there - I just find it interesting it's there. For me, the only potential fanboi inclusions would be The Garden or Headlong Flight. HAHAHAHAHAHA!! Eddie Trunk is a piece of human shit. Such a fraud. Good for you brainwashed millennials to follow his every word and list. HAHAHAHA!!!! I met Eddie in Vegas after the Scorpions and Queensryche. I purposely quizzed him for 5 minutes on rock and roll and metal. The guy is a fuckking fraud. Don't believe me. Don't care. Useless. I met all the guys from Queensryche, Mikkey Dee from the Scorps who was so sweet and nice. Even met Scott Ian that night. Not a big Anthrax fan but he was sooooooo cool!!!! Eddie Trunk is a skunk. His rock and roll knowledge is that of a rotten walnut. Real musicians know their shite. Eddie Dump sucks arse.I can't believe the guy actually talked to you and answered your questions for five minutes. What an asshole! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's putting Trunk down because Trunk thinks he's this great wealth of knowledge when it comes to rock and metal. But all he really knows is the popular old school stuff. He doesn't try to expand his knowledge past that. Once grunge hit in the early 90s Trunk stopped paying attention to metal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The album, if I remember correctly, had a metal version of Rite Of Spring by Stravinski. I have forgotten the name of the band and have been looking for it everywhere! It was a really fantastic album!! I recently listened to early Meshuggah and loved it. Very strong debut album. I currently am enjoying the last three Behemoth albums, and have had a great time listening to Emperor and Celtic Frost again. But yeah...if you know that band and album I mentioned above would be much appreciated because I cannot find it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could I ask what you've been into lately? I've been treading into extreme metal and really liking it. But I want to delve more into it. You like all that stuff don't you? yeah I just got through listening to death's leprosy I recently listened to a lot of Death. I got into them as I was listening to Testament again and wanted to find other bands of that era that often get mentioned but I hadn't heard yet. Very impressed. if you're into the earlier, campier, heavier stuff, you should check out possessed's seven churches. I hear a ton of that record in the first 2 death albums if you're into the jazzier, technical shit found on spiritual healing and the rest of chuck's discography, check out the first two atheist albums (piece of time, unquestionable presence), cynic's focus (more of a jazz record than death metal), nocturnus' the key (sci-fi themed keyboard laden death metal fronted/composed by the original morbid angel drummer), demilich's nespithe (vocals might be hard to get into even for death metal standards, but the ridiculousness is up my alley) totally not death metal but one of chuck's main influences was watchtower, arguably the first prog metal band (they were playing essentially rush-meets-thrash while guys like queensryche and fates warning were still basically maiden clones). energetic disassembly and control & resistance are amazing, and I like them more than anything by queensryche, dream theater, etc There was an album I loved, by a thrash band with a prog side, in the 80s with a name based after river. The album, if I remember correctly, had a metal version of Rite Of Spring by Stravinski. I have forgotten the name of the band and have been looking for it everywhere! It was a really fantastic album!! I recently listened to early Meshuggah and loved it. Very strong debut album. I currently am enjoying the last three Behemoth albums, and have had a great time listening to Emperor and Celtic Frost again. But yeah...if you know that band and album I mentioned above would be much appreciated because I cannot find it! of course dude, it's mekong delta. they're f***ing killer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Making lists like this is pretty impossible when you love the band as much as I imagine we all do, but here are some quick thoughts: #1 is way too pedestrian, IMO. Not trying to be snooty, but the song has never blown me away. I get why it's a crowd favorite, but for me it doesn't do much. Red Barchetta also is too high, IMO. Again, the song doesn't excite me as much as other songs. On the converse, another obvious choice for #1 - Tom Sawyer - would have been fine by me. Go figure. La Villa needs to be higher. We're talking top 10. Interesting to place Jacob's Ladder so high (if at all). Regardless of level of fandom, the omission of Subdivisions is glaring. No quibbles that Roll the Bones isn't on there. It's another one of those "take it or leave it" songs for me. No opinion on Stick It Out being there - I just find it interesting it's there. For me, the only potential fanboi inclusions would be The Garden or Headlong Flight. HAHAHAHAHAHA!! Eddie Trunk is a piece of human shit. Such a fraud. Good for you brainwashed millennials to follow his every word and list. HAHAHAHA!!!! I met Eddie in Vegas after the Scorpions and Queensryche. I purposely quizzed him for 5 minutes on rock and roll and metal. The guy is a fuckking fraud. Don't believe me. Don't care. Useless. I met all the guys from Queensryche, Mikkey Dee from the Scorps who was so sweet and nice. Even met Scott Ian that night. Not a big Anthrax fan but he was sooooooo cool!!!! Eddie Trunk is a skunk. His rock and roll knowledge is that of a rotten walnut. Real musicians know their shite. Eddie Dump sucks arse.I can't believe the guy actually talked to you and answered your questions for five minutes. What an asshole! You missed the point. He's putting Trunk down because Trunk thinks he's this great wealth of knowledge when it comes to rock and metal. But all he really knows is the popular old school stuff. He doesn't try to expand his knowledge past that. Once grunge hit in the early 90s Trunk stopped paying attention to metal. to be fair, you see that sort of that on this site as well Oh god yes.

Fordgalaxy Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 I had to google him. You should get out more. :codger: If you've never heard of him, then it would stand to reason you've also never heard of That Metal Show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
