amish_ashaman Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 QUOTE (syrinxthrawn @ Jul 20 2010, 02:58 PM) I'm with you. I'm thankful that they still produce new music and still tour. I'll keep going to shows as long as they keep playing. As far as the songs go . . . I don't care what they play. I'll go . . . and love it. There are far too many "fairweather" fans on this site. They disappoint me. I think some talk just to hear their own voices. We may have some fair weather fans here, but complaining about the setlist doesn't make one a fair weather fan. People just want to hear their favorites at a show, but Rush's catalog is too big to please everyone all the time. It's really about as simple as that.

Live! No studio, no editing, no re dub and no do over! That's it! You get what you get, and it was never meant to be CD perfect!!! THERE WILL BE GLITCHES THERE WILL BE EQUIPMENT SNAFU'S ALEX WILL STRAY FROM THE SOLO HE PLAYED LAST TIME THE BAND DIDN'T ASK YOU WHAT TO PLAY THIS BAND HAS ONE OF THE MOST TECHNICALLY COMPLEX SHOWS I HAVE EVER HEARD OF, YET IT STILL WORKS NEARLY FLAWLESSLY EVERY SHOW DUH! GEDDY'S VOICE CANNOT DO WHAT IT DID 35 FREAKIN YEARS AGO SO WHAT IF THE BAND WANDERS INTO NEW GROUND WITH A SONG? IT IS A LIVE SHOW MAN UP, TURN YOUR PANTS AROUND AND PUT THE ZIPPER IN FRONT WHERE IT BELONGS (men only, obviously) *RANT MODE OFF!* Everyone here is pretty well aware of all of this, but the thing is this is a band, one that has been around for a very long time, and this is a message board, one where people are allowed to speak their OPINIONS. Deal with it and move on. I'm convinced the internet is too much to handle for some people, and I really believe there should be an application process before people are allowed to use it. Trenken, I knew this thread would upset you. Btw, you're not too much to handle. I prefer "Too Hot To Handle!" Love, UFO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nim2 Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Love the rant! Not nearly as long as I expected when reading the first couple lines but it covers ALL the most popular points people like to bring up as complaints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HigherWater Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Good post. Couldn't agree more. I look forward to the few little glitches that arise during a show. I find it interesting that so much emphasis is placed on Ged and the current state of his voice. It seams to me, honestly, that if anyone has lost a step it's the God that sits behind the drumkit. (Gasp!?@) Yes, I said it! I think Neil is very close to the end of 'being Neil.' But that's okay! For Christ's sake, we all get older. And while we might be wiser with every day, physically we just break down. Enjoy it while it lasts--We are WAY closer to the end than we are even to the middle.

Well That just sounds like Socialism. Then will only play for those who loved their setlist And Geddy will only sing for those who know the words and Neil will only play for Drummers of his caliber and Alex will only allow the hairclub for men to attend the shows. All in All there will be one person at the show. Look the great thing about Amercia is that everyone can speak their mind. If the thread bothers you, don't go into it. Then The "trolls: will get bored and move on to the Roger Waters Forum or something. Thread: Why doesn't Roger Water play Echoes on this tour? Look we are all glad that Rush is still around. Specially after the 90's and lets face it they are writing better than ever. If you can't see that then you're and idiot. But I think we should be able to voice our opinions and concerns. If not what it all about? rules Now more than never! And Far Cry and caravan areinstant Classics. Deal with it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgbam42 Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 I love the rant. Somebody had to say something. Now if you will excuse me I will be leaving this thread before it gets ugly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
