Pars123 Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Asked to rank a selection of albums: Moving PicturesPermanent Waves2112HemispheresRushA Farewell to KingsSignalsCaress of SteelFly By Night He explained that it's based on songwriting. Fly By night is lowest because it was transitional, Neil was new to the band, everything felt new and inexperienced, so he ranked that lowest among the preselected batch of albums. They played a copy of the forthcoming 2112 vinyl reissue, which has star holograms etched into the platter. Host said, "Comes with rolling papers too, I bet" :smoke: ATWAS takes about 3 joints to listen to.I wish he would have ranked the Self Titled lower.. Gosh I can't stand that album.
bluefox4000 Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Ugh that show is insufferable. The hosts really don't care who they have on. they just love the sounds of their own voices. Mick 1

Powderfinger Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 https://www.youtube....h?v=RXjFqSoOeNg who are these insufferable douchebags interviewing him? Petrucci playing 'metal' guitar....typical weee, weee,weeee...did I just walk into Guitar Center? Last 20 minutes are the interviewers yapping incessantly...why did they bother bringing Geddy there? Turrrible, turrrible interview. you're welcome. You seriously don't know?? No I don't, nor do I care after watching that. The 'hosts' were self-absorbed douchebags only interested in spewing out their own ill-informed opinions. The last 20 minutes, Geddy sat smiling politely and wondering why he was here. These ass clowns couldn't get 'clockwork orange' correct and had trouble naming all studio albums. Here's a tip for interviewers...ask the question, shut up and listen, rinse and repeat. It's a TV show on VH1. It's not the Tonight Show with Geddy Lee. 1

Not that I'm complaining, I think it's underrated. Yes, you are correct on AFTK being ahead of Rush. I went to edit my initial post and the option to do so is not there.

Just glad the Debut got some love.. :)
Disembodied Spirit Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Trunk's a big fan, he won't be able to resist asking a ton of questions about the tour/setlistTrunk is like a lot of Rush fans, admits he bailed on Rush circa Power Windows. .... I like how he didn't name GuP-HYF when he had to name 15 albums. Of course, he forgot RTB, Rush's return from the forgotten, but at least he named T4E and not CP.Exactly what I said. Trunk literally knows nothing about Rush from 1984-1992.Someone asked him on a past show to name the 4 sections of 'Fear' from Rush.Dude had no clue what the guy was talking about. 3

Trunk is a Rush fan, that's obvious. Perhaps he's not a Rush geek, though.In his book he admits he bailed on 'Keyboard' Rush.Did not follow the band. However once he got into rock radio, he had to play RTB, Counter etc....So a fan, not a geek like the rest of us.His love for UFO is disturbing to say the least. 1

Trunk is a Rush fan, that's obvious. Perhaps he's not a Rush geek, though.True that. If anyone has watched the show through the years it is quite obvious. Is he a bigger UFO fan? Absolutely. But he is a big Rush fan as well. He is probably as knowledgeable of Rush as I was when I got to this forum. Mostly early 80's back. Fortunately my old stubborn @ss has broadened his horizons some the past year or so... :codger: Edited February 22, 2015 by Narpsberg 2
bluefox4000 Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) I could not call myself a Rush geek either honestly. I dislike way to many albums to qualify, lol Mick Edited February 22, 2015 by bluefox4000
troutman Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 I found his reasoning regarding the album ranking interesting. He based it on a musician's point of view. Not so much of what a fan would rank them.
Disembodied Spirit Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 When that dude asked Trunk to name 15 of the 20 studio albums, how many people besides me paused the DVR and listed them?My wife was like , I knew you'd get them, and in order no less.
