Rod in Toronto Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 I did an interview with John Petrucci of Dream Theater, a band who never hid the fact that they are influenced by Rush. During the chat, I asked him about one rationale they always used when making decisions for the band, which is "what would Rush do?".

Rod in Toronto Posted September 17, 2020 Author Share Posted September 17, 2020 Sauconys are cool, I tried them on a demo night at my running club. Brooks aren't bad either. I just feel more comfortable with Asics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Sauconys are cool, I tried them on a demo night at my running club. Brooks aren't bad either. I just feel more comfortable with Asics.I recently got a pair of Brooks that were perfect for my foot. It's so nice when you find the perfect shoe! Sad thing is...the Brooks about worn out already, as I've done a lot of trail running. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RushFanForever Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Rod in Toronto, the interview you did with John Petrucci is great. I also checked out the interview you did with Steve Morse regarding Deep Purple's latest album, which is great as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard from a friend here that Kim is not exactly the biggest enthusiast of interacting with fans, and even comes across as arrogant sometimes. Can anyone confirm?

Most things they (and many other bands) did in the 80's look dated nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
