Sir Lerxst Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I honestly think the reason he has stuck with over ears so long is more to do with the fact they'll sound clearer, rather than worry that the infection will return. The infection could return regardless of IEM usage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, thanks. I didn't get it because I didn't see anything in D3's post to suggest one needed to be logged in to view posts. I read D3's post as, he'll be tortured because he can view posts but can't post responses. And that you seemed a little stern with D3 right after thoughtfully posting an explanation of Hatchetaxe&saw's post that, in effect, some of us have been too hard on a (horrible) member of this board, compounded not getting where you were coming from. Actually, I still don't get it. As you said, D3 implied that only suspending his posting privileges was torture because he could still read these threads. That's basically how I took it. I thought D3 implied the ex-troll could view posts as a guest. The part about logging in to read posts seems like your added interpretation of his post and not based anything he said, or even implied. Well, no matter, it's small peanuts. I can learn to get along with all the things I don't get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huge Ackman Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 QUOTE (Jeff_RushFan @ Jun 4 2011, 03:15 PM) Hi, This has probably been answered elsewhere but I couldn't find any reference to it. Does anyone know why Neil has started wearing headphones while drumming, it used to be very rare just on one or two songs, I'm sure when I saw Rush the other week in Manchester they were on constantly! Is this due to the new drumming style he developed/worked on, or some reason to be in time to video stuff? Not having a go, just interested http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z33/bfwgjma/2010%20Red%20Rocks%202%20Archives/RushatRedRocks2010396.jpg Because duct tape and rock and roll just go together!

drbirdsong Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 No comment on CT. I got two threads locked talking about he/she/it so I ain't talking about he/she/it. Neil Peart's ears: I just finished ready Far And Away and he mentions that he has been having chronic ear infections for years. He finally went to two doctors and they prescribed three different antibiotics to finally clear all the infections up. All the years of in ear monitors and ear plugs while riding motorcycles really messed things up so he finally did something about it. In the meantime he is wearing the over the ear headphones because the in ear monitors hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
