HowItIs Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 (edited) Indeed... while I may admire Geddy and Pratt, my heart belongs to the Lerxster. It goes back to spending an entire show sitting right in front of him. He captured my heart with that smile.... More pictures!!! http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd103/laserspray/Rush/r30-71.jpg http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd103/laserspray/Rush/movingpicturesalex.jpg http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd103/laserspray/Rush/counterpartsalex4.jpg Edited December 2, 2010 by HowItIs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lost Xanadu Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 QUOTE (CMWriter @ Dec 4 2010, 03:53 PM)LOL! Reminds me of one of my first reactions to hearing Rush. Me: "How many guitarists are there?" Dad: "One." Me: "NO WAI." I think it helps that he gets REALLY into it and you can see it when he performs. His emotions are plastered all over his face and it makes it a real treat to watch Lerxst work his magic. Thats one of the things I really love about watching him play...he really gets into and its fun to watch . Its like he gets lost in some other world and its just him and the guitar. Its nice to see how much he enjoys playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its nice to see how much he enjoys playing. IT'S SO AMAZING. Reminds me of myself when I do a saxophone solo, actually. It's like the rest of the world fades away, the audience and the lights and the other people, and all the energy goes straight into the music. Lerxst inspires me to get back into doing solos.. but of course they're not epic or anything. Just things I do for contests and stuff, sometimes jazz, usually classical.

VERY amazing indeed Thats how I was when I played flute back in high school band but I've since lost my touch . Haven't picked it up in quite some time and its a piece of crap flute now...its just getting old and sounds bad. Never the less, Lerxst, like alot of the other musicians I love, still inspires me to love music more and more each day as I do So, how bout some more inspiration? http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b250/Moonie17/2010-oct-main-1.jpg http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b250/Moonie17/permanentwaves-12.jpg http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b250/Moonie17/permanentwaves-9.jpg He has such a nice profile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowItIs Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 (edited) Sweeeeeeet pics, TLX I'm right there with you on Al's playing. Not only is he brilliant but he's modest. When Rick Whats-his-name asked him "What's it like to be the greatest guitarist in the world?" Lerxst looked surprised and said "Don't ask me!" Watching him play from my up-close (though not nearly as close as I'd have liked) was beyond description. He manages to be intense and fun at the same time. And that smile.... always that smile. Well, the smile and the sweat. Yeah, I was sitting that close. I got the occasional drop from him and even Geddy a few times. Not that I really minded..... http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd103/laserspray/Rush/holdyourfirealex.jpg http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd103/laserspray/Rush/powerwindowslex3.jpg http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd103/laserspray/Rush/snakes-and-arrows-134-s.jpg He's just so darned cute!!

(My stomach still hurts from watching that.) That last picture makes me smile so much. I like him with that acoustic because it reminds me of my dad bringing out his guitar just for the heck of it. (I have weird connections between people, lol, don't mind me.) He's just genuinely happy to be playing. What is it that links sincerity to attraction? Is it the appeal of honesty? Is it something about human emotion that strikes up emotions in others? Why am I being so darned philosophical on a thread that's supposed to be about oogling over sexy photos? Maybe -- maybe I can do both? Why can't I be like all the other teenage girls and read bad literature by Stephanie Meyer and argue about which Jonas Brother is hottest? (Nah, just kidding. I'd rather watch the music video for "Time Stand Still" until my eyes bleed than do either of those things.) Leeerxst~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HowItIs Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Dare, babycat, dare Been watching videos on YouTube while I wait for the time we will leave for the airport (I can never sleep before I fly - I'm always too nervous). Man, I watching Lerxst play. The skill and playfulness combined are so damned endearing. I found an interesting bit from 1994 when he'd do a rant during Closer To The Heart. Now, if this isn't the most adorable thing.... Dontcha just love it?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
