Mr. Not Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 QUOTE (Territorial_Game @ Sep 9 2012, 06:36 PM) I originally thought this was going to be a worthless bitchy thread, but then I realized it can serve a purpose. Let's have all the whiners just have a big circlejerk in this thread so the rest of us can enjoy the others. Also, saying "guarantee I will be to more shows this tour than you" as a comment in a thread where you just slammed the setlist, no matter how you justify it, makes you sound like a pretentious dickhole who judges his fandom based on how many shows he can go to. It's the same concept as a religious person who just follows the "get into heaven" checklist. Your original post is nothing but you stroking your ego. So, all you guys bitching about the set, come hang out here. You have found your leader. You're the one who can't take the heat. And you know what they say about not being able to take the heat... Get out of the kitchen, eh? This happens every tour here. I thought you'd be used to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeminiRising79 Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Lotus, I've been accusing Rush of being lazy for years. You are correct in your observation. These setlists are a travesty. I don't even care to watch the new tour videos. Its a damned disgrace. A real mix and match, ass-backwards decision. I'm so disappointed. I really wanted to attend this tour. Such a piss-poor selection of older songs. Fukking shame on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rushgoober Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Am I wrong in that there's only ONE song from the 1970's??? That is just beyond bizarre. Strings on Losing It would have been really cool and it's very strange they didn't do that. Strings on Xanadu would have been epic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snaked Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 QUOTE (LotusLand @ Sep 9 2012, 09:17 PM) This is a lazy setlist. Period. That is one of the most disrespectful comments I have read regarding this tour. Let me break this down for you. There are 17 songs being played this tour that have either NEVER been played live (the CA material) or haven't been played in at least 19 years. THAT is not lazy. THAT takes balls. To learn 17 songs for a tour is a hell of a lot of effort. Lazy would have been Freewill - again La Villa - again Red Barchetta - again The Trees - again Between The Wheels - again Distant Early Warning - again ... and the list goes on. The boys totally flipped the setlist this time around. They could have taken the easy way out and been lazy.. regurgitating the same material again.. .but no. They worked their asses off for US. You don't like the setlist. Thats a shame. They worked very hard on it for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm so disappointed. I really wanted to attend this tour. Such a piss-poor selection of older songs. Fukking shame on them. Finally, someone able to see through this. I would watch them play Happy Brithday on Tupperware from the cupboard. What is happening here is pure laziness and playing out the string. I'm sorry, forever my favorite band. This is a band that has gone out on a limb and done things their "own" way, gone out on a limb and have been bold, gone out on a limb and said to everyone else.....Go f yourself. I get it. I love it. This is just a lazy way out at this point in their careers.....and I could care less about seeing LL and CTTH again, et el. I don't care. What they have chosen are 4-6 songs that have 4-6 different chords and are easy and have been done many times in the past. Nothing bold with Force 10, Bravado, Dreamline, The Pass, Big Money, etc.etc. as discussed earlier. What so many people do not understand....Other than CA, there is really nothing new here or "fresh" as the boys like to say. I like everything they produce, but this just has many of us saying WTF.

LotusLand Posted September 10, 2012 Author Share Posted September 10, 2012 They did not have to" learn" 17 songs. They just had to remember what key some of these songs were in and play the 4 chords that go with it. Get the timing back down and play. Yes, lazy would have been the Trees, Between the Wheels and all the others you mentioned. No disagreement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grand Designs hasn't been sniffed in years, so they have to re-learn it, where as Red Barchetta can be played in their sleep.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
