Your_Lion Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 A friend of mine misheard the lyrics in "The Weapon" - He's a little bit afraid of dying...But he's a lot more afraid of Your Lion. I thought it was pretty funny, and now that's what I always hear when listening to the song....and since I like cats too, I thought I'd use it as a namehttp://www.myemoticons.com/images/animals/safari/lion.gif 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rutlefan Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 (edited) Nothing to do with Rush. It's a play on Beatlefan magazine, featuring the Pre-Fab Four ("I want to tell you I'm in love with you, completely. I'd like to take you far away from here, discretely." ): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qf8y7v0WIE I used it on a whim years ago and then just kept using it, though I do really love Neil Innes (plays the John Lennon "Ron Nasty" character; most people would remember him as Robin's singing minstrel in Monty Python and the Holy Grail ... "He's not afraid ..."). Here's a favorite that Bob Dylan fans might like. I seem to remember him being on a live Monty Python album, and introduced this song saying, "I've suffered for my music, now it's your turn"): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vnkB9gM-_k Edited March 18, 2014 by Rutlefan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

circumstantial tree Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Combining "Circumstances" and "The Trees" from Hemispheres into a descriptive name. Also, the tragic "circumstantial" events surrounding the battle between the oaks and maples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Empty Mindless Spectre Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Well, my favorite RUSH song has no lyrics, so I derived my name from the lyrics of my second favorite RUSH song. I could have simply gone with "The Necromancer", but I figured that was probably already taken, and I think "Empty Mindless Spectre" sounds pretty cool.
