Rush-O-Matic Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 QUOTE (friendlyfloridian @ May 11 2012, 03:07 PM) QUOTE (GeddyLeefan2112 @ May 11 2012, 03:21 PM) QUOTE (friendlyfloridian @ May 11 2012, 02:10 PM) QUOTE (drgrendel @ May 11 2012, 12:38 PM) Quick to judge indeed... Right back at you. I have the same right to my opinion as yours. I am not the one trashing you for your beliefs. But whoa I come on here asking for some opinions and I get trashed. Not good. You would have thought I started a religious debate. I do think people jumped you a little heavily and didn't really understand what you were trying to say. What I got from it was that while it is 9:12, it is kind of ambiguous as it is hands on a clock and without knowledge that its a reference to 21:12, one might mistake it for being 9:11. Where I think you fell off the wagon a little bit is when you said that it was "in bad taste". Saying its in bad taste means that Rush meant to be offensive with this cover and meant to invoke feelings about 9/11. This is almost certainly not true. Agreed. I don't think that Rush did it intentionally but I still think it is a close resemblance to 911 and in bad taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was the band supposed to plan for the possibility of someone seeing something? Oh no, I see a devil in the red swirly. f**k Rush!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point was saying something is "in bad taste" means the speaker or author or what have you meant to be offensive. Rush obviously did not mean for anyone to think about 9/11 when looking at this cover. My question to you is, when The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers came out, did you think the title of that movie was in bad taste? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarkus406 Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 My clock says 9:11 twice a day. How insensitive and disrespectful! Doesn't that clock know thousands of people were murdered on that day? It should go from 9:10 straight to 9:12, out of respect.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 10 would be the center of the X thingy, so 11 would probably be touching the symbol still.. so 12 is just past that in the empty space. That's definately a 12..!

USB Connector Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 (edited) I love how some people just read 911 into everything. The world isn't laughing at America because of the tragedy, nor will it make the number taboo because of it. Rush is known for making 2112 references in everything, this is no exception. The amount of fail in your post is amusing. Moving on. Edited May 11, 2012 by USB Connector Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CantStopThinkingBig Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 trying to make a connection of a clock facing possibly/possibly not reading 9:11, and the date September 11th is absurd. Somebody needs to slap the OP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
