Presto-digitation Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I've not read too much about this here (ya tend to miss posts when folks are adding so many daily), but for the folks who have the fan pack, how are you enjoying the magazine. I got my pack the other day and really am impressed with the magazine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merely Space Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Great magazine! Long, in depth interviews. Very few adds. Wonderful pictures (some I'm sure the band would rather they didn't print). The key ring and posters were... eh. But the magazine, the deluxe packaging for the cd, and getting it before the release date made the fanpack worth every penny. Rather wish it counted toward the charts, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUP1771 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 It's a shame I didn't have the funds at the time to get the fan pack. It would have been nice to read all of those interviews! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robertrobyn Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 the best in depth magazine yet about the trio!! read cover to cover. Very easy read. Sometimes the british mags are a hard read for me. This one was very enjoyable. Oh great pics also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CygnusX-1Bk2 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Honestly I haven't really cracked it yet. My buddy came over and saw it and he thumbed through it. It seems really cool, but because the album sounds the way it does I have been less than enthusiastic. I'm sure I'll feel differently once the tour starts.

Presto-digitation Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 Is it just me or would that angel holding the watch on the back cover been an incredible album cover? Eerie...atmospheric, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steely Caress Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Classic Rock did a great job with this. To be expected, it is the best Rock magazine you can buy now days. Leave it to the brits to do music right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to fathom regularly paying $12 + for a monthly mag...but I buy it on occasion for special features that I just can't pass up. Regardless, though, it's the best out there....$12 or not.

drbirdsong Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 The magazine is better than some books written about the band. Try eBay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todem Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I read it cover to cover....twice. I really enjoyed all the interviews with Neil, Alex, and Geddy. You got great insight into every song on the record and the look back they did with various musicians and producers on their catalog was very cool. A fantastic keep sake indeed.

Jaminbenb Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Glad I got it, interesting read!!! The only thing was at the end when they reviewed their whole catalog, I wish someone would have put in a review of the new album to make it more cohesive?!?! But a great add to my collection!

Merely Space Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 One thing I thought was odd. In the Hugh Syme piece, he related how he had planned to do cardiac readings of the band as the album cover for Signals, but that fell through, and they ended up with the dog and fire hydrant. I could swear I've read that anecdote before, but that the cardiac readings were the original plan for Permanent Waves, not Signals. Anybody else remember that?

Hi CygnusX-1Bk2 You said you have been to the same shows as me. Just wanted to ask Im looking for a ticket stub for the 3-28-90 show, its the only one Im missing. Just wondering if you had an extra?? Thanks Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocket ignites Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I plan on diving into it when I have more time this weekend. From only thumbing through it so far, I can tell it's going to be a great read! BTW, is the regular issue of classic rock with Rush on the cover (july issue) on bookstands yet? I was at Barnes & Noble 2-3 weeks ago, and I think they still had the issue with Slash on the cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zimmy77 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Also, I've just discovered that the digital mag has a video embedded n the Geddy interview which has him talking about all the songs on CA for 20 minutes, it's pretty cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
