1 of the 7 Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Someone on Facebook pointed this one out to me: On pg. 33 of the 2010 Time Machine tourbook, the band members' names replace containers #10 and 11. 10+11=21. The next container is 12. There are also a few differences between the covers of the 2010 and 2011 editions (and between these and the CD/DVD).

GeddyRulz Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 I've heard all sorts of nonsense about how they allegedly arrived at choosing the year 2112, but I say it was mostly because of the "1812 Overture," which they quote in the "2112 Overture." Craziest theory: Neil's birthday is September 12th. 9/12. In military time, 9 PM would be written as 21... hence 21 and 12. To believe this theory, you'd have to believe in the illogic of jumping from dates (9/12) to times (9 PM is "21," but why use "9 PM" in the first place? We were talking about "9" in terms of the ninth month just a second ago!) and then back to the date (2112). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While i hope that Neil wrote it this way because the song is 2112, i just can't help but to think that it is just a coincidence. But still awesome EDIT: Oh i and i forgot to mention that the reason they named it 2112 is because the war of the planets of the solar federation takes place in 2062. By 2112, the priests control the earth where the man brings the guitar before they destroy it. Edited November 18, 2011 by Strangiato Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
