Tombstone Mountain Posted December 8, 2012 Author Share Posted December 8, 2012 The Oils are still the best thing out of Australia as far as I'm concerned.Cockatoo's are a nice export as well...along with "where the Green Ants Dream". Anyone see that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

losingit2k Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 What a great country you have :sundog:You obviously haven't heard Aussie music {vomit.jpg}. Years ago a local music store owner (and huge Rush fan) had a petition going for Rush to tour for ASOH.Hey now, I LOVE Men at Work. Really? You couldn't have gone with AC-DC? Yeah I was gonna list them, but they just ain't my cup of tea. I enjoyed them when I was a teenager and before I got hit with the RUSH virus. Seriously, they just make me wanna drink beer and moon the man!!! Moon away dude! Moon Away! :moon: :moon: :moon: :moon: :moon: Its like the last show of the Rockettes up there! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeminiRising79 Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 "they have an opportunity that few have ever received—an experimental ride on the International Space Station. Inspiration has been a moving target for music material for the band, and they figure this is the best way to get the most out of their talents" If they could only go back and add to the Signals/PermWaves catalogue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tombstone Mountain Posted December 16, 2012 Author Share Posted December 16, 2012 Why go back? Clockwork Angels has no master. It is every bit the equal of those records. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tombstone Mountain Posted February 2, 2013 Author Share Posted February 2, 2013 (edited) What Happens after the Vortex? Space—The Final Frontier When the Clockwork Angels tour finally winds down, and the boys from the band get sick of droning home life routines, they have an opportunity that few have ever received—an experimental ride on the International Space Station. Inspiration has been a moving target for music material for the band, and they figure this is the best way to get the most out of their talents. With the advent of the band getting nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and whispers of Grammy nominations, Rush is in rarified air. However, the honors just don’t stop in this earthly realm. On the ISS, 2112 has replaced the standard music that greets the astronauts every morning when the wake up. “Thus Spake Zarathustra” and “Blue Danube Waltz” were the staples of morning rituals according to NASA, but they felt it was time to modernize this modern machinery. Buzz Aldrin, famed moonwalker and pilot, had this to say, “When you’re up in space music is so important. It keeps you connected with life down on planet earth. However, in this new era, astronauts want something a little more current than the classical staples of yesteryear. Good luck with that, that bands music just sounds like static to me” So, naturally Rush was the perfect fit. In response to reports that the band will be traveling in space, underrated and under appreciated guitarist Alex Lifeson, offered these tidbits on what the band will be doing on ISS. “Canada participates in the ISS program and we’re all big sci-fi nerds. As part of our honors from the Canadian government we’ve been selected to participate in the ISS program." The Yukon Blade Grinder broke it here first!!! Canadian Cosmonaut Chris Hadfield Talks About Rush From Space http://news.cygnus-x1.net/Canadian Cosmonaut Chris Hadfield Talks About Rush Canadian Cosmonaut Chris Hadfield Talks About Rush From Space CBC Music ran a piece today on Chris Hadfield, the Canadian Cosmonaut who is currently aboard the ISS (International Space Station). In the segment, Chris talks about his musical influences, focusing largely on Canadian acts. The cosmonaut reveals that Rush was among his earliest influences. From the article: "It’s no secret that Canadian prog rockers Rush are big fans of space exploration, whether it’s 1976’s 2112, the space rock opera that thrust them into stardom, or 1982’s “Countdown,” a song that describes the launch of space shuttle Columbia that the band watched from a VIP area at the Kennedy Space Center. It’s only fitting that Rush would, in turn, influence Canadian cosmonaut Chris Hadfield, who says he started listening to them in high school and was drawn to the band’s “incredible originality and dissatisfaction with normal” in a new video post he’s made from aboard the International Space Station..."http://news.cygnus-x1.net/ From Space Edited February 2, 2013 by Tombstone Mountain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
