Nobody's Hero and Second Nature both have cringe worthy lyrics. "I knew he was different in his sexuality" makes me a little sick when I hear it. I don't like Second Nature either. "Folks are basically decent" We'll see. It's still freakin' Rush and Clockwork Angels will be the epic part of the concert for me

I feel like that's a bit tasteless IMO.. but that's just my opinion.

Sheldon, do you not see you used the words "sick" and "homosexuality" together in a sentence? For shame. It's bad enough that the sing-songy lyrics are terrible.

I would say that the reason I don't care for Nobody's Hero is the Howie Day-esque acoustic guitar strumming. I don't mind when Howie Day does it, but not Rush. It was a very un-Rushlike song and I did not care for it from the first time I heard it. I would welcome almost anything else off of CP in it's place.

[micgtr71]

BTW, Second Nature would be great. Open Secrets would be better.

Just had breakfast with a journalist for the Union Leader Newspaper and a fellow Rush fan. Here is what was relayed to me with regards to the set list. The band has made the decision to rehearse the entire record and leave the options open this round to drop 2 and put 2 songs in. The complete record will not be performed on a nightly basis. Manhattan Project, Marathon, and Nobody's Hero are in the set. Other songs that have been part of the rehearsals with strings outside of the CA songs include Losing It, Second Nature, Spirit of Radio, 2112, and Animate.

OMG. So excited, I've always wanted to hear Losing It Live!!! I also love the Manhattan Project, Nobody's Hero (I bet they are playing it for Andrew) and Second Nature should be interesting as well. I am very excited, it sounds like we are in for a real treat!!

I think I just Rushgasmed.

Its a decent song, (I'd prefer "Cut to the Chase") but it will be better with Strings.

Who knows? We don't know yet. I'd be happy with either Nobody's Hero or Cut To The Chase.

Really, nothing? You'd think the dress rehearsals would have started by now.

Dress rehearsal was last night, not tonight. Sticking to the no back-to-back nights rule.

QUOTE (farcryoverspilledmilk @ Sep 6 2012, 12:39 PM) If they stick to the rumored 3 hours and 10 mins of music they have planned then there is plenty of time for this.

Drum Solo Alex Solo The Trees Xanadu Jacobs Ladder Encore Malignant Narcissism The Spirit of Radio Tom Sawyer 2112 Overture/Temples/Grand Finale   Anyone else think it's just a little bit of a coincidence that farcryoverspilledmilk happened to guess four of the songs from the supposed "confirmed" songs list in his setlist prediction from a couple days ago? They all follow each other too...   Guessing TSoR or TS isn't anything unusual but the fact that he guessed four of the seven songs he happened to learn were on the setlist does raise some questions over the validity of this thread. nice work. that confirms it's a hoax. end of thread. Well we'll know tomarrow night if it's a hoax. That setlist is fiction.

My bad. I was reading quickly and just responding to the comment that we'll know Friday. Thought it was in relation to the posted setlist and if that setlist is a hoax. It is.

Besides they are probably playing this for Andrew anyway.
