antiquark Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 (edited) Renditions are distinct from the studio version, with lots of energy and excitement from the crowd... the essence of live music! Good stuff, both of them! Are you on the spectrum? No, I haven't owned one of those in a long time: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/33/ZXSpectrum48k.jpg/640px-ZXSpectrum48k.jpg Edited September 11, 2014 by antiquark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Geddy has said that they are very much "the show must go on" type of band. On one tour, he even played while he had an ear infection, so he's probably proud of singing while sick.Show must go on? Yes. Show must be released at a premium price to the buying public...um...not sure he said that... Well, they sold 2 million copies of the Time Machine DVD, so it's hard to fault Rush for their decision to release that concert footage. You're very logical. As long as the public consumes it then it means it was worthwhile. I cannot wait for Transformers 5. No, I think Rush is worthwhile for lots of reasons not pertaining to the next Transformers movie. What? Yeah, what is the connection between Rush and Transformers 5? There is none that I can see. Other than making lots of money. Rush are consumate professionals and that's why they believe in the "show must go on" for fans who paid money to see them. But that doesn't mean they have to mass produce and market a poor sounding product to thousands of fans. That's not professional, that's disingenuous and compromising listeners' experience for $$. They aren't such perfectionists anymore and that is a quality that once endeared them to fans. As for your last comment: Yeah, what is the connection between Rush and Transformers 5? There is none that I can see. Other than making lots of money. I think you answered your own question. Its releasing a subpar product knowing that fans will buy it based on earlier success. Good work isn't measurable by Box Office numbers. Shame on me for giving in and putting up with it because of the huge impact they made on me in my earlier years. I was debating his point about "so it's hard to fault Rush for their decision to release that concert footage" in my usually cryptic and contrived manner.Rush has generally been more about quality and a large reason why they've earned many peoples respects (until recently maybe), Michael Bay's Transformers has been more about the finacial success. Sales alone don't tell the entire story when it comes to the "art" business. Crap can be released and become successful sales-wise but does that make it "worthwhile" or successful if it gives the artist a bad reputation? That's debatable and dependent on the individual artist's goals and agenda. If Rush are all just about making money now and have no more artistic integrity then yes Time Machine was a successful release.This is getting out of hand. Move to SOCN?

anchorman Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Not bad at all for a decade's difference. http://x2.fjcdn.com/thumbnails/comments/mfw+when+i+m+currently+eating+pizza+_6218b83c3fe0fadf7631c15a4a3e2e2d.gif Nah, I'm done making my point. Agree to disagree. Fair enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
