RUSHHEAD666 Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Guys! I totally just had a Dixie Dreg Day! I listened to "Free Fall" "What If" "Night Of The Dregs" "Dregs Of The Earth" "Unsung Heroes" and "Industry Standard!" HOLY SHIT! Country ConFUSION! This band blows my mind! Come on guys! Steve Morse on guitar. Dave LaRue on bass! Oh and wow how dare I forget to mention how incredible Rod Morgenstein is on the fukking drums. We always talk about the greatness of: NEIL PEARTSIMON PHILLIPSSTEWART COPELANDDAVE WECKLTERRY BOZZIODANNY CAREYMIKE PORTANNOYJEFF PORCAROSTEVE GADDIAN PAICENICK MCBRAINTOMMY ALDRIDGEJOHN BONHAMKETIH MOON Well the list goes on but ROD MORGENSTEIN IS TOP TEN OF ALL TIME!He gets now love why? Because he is collecting a check in WINGER? Fuckk that man and I like WINGER! ROD IS THE SHIT GUYS!!! Just listen to "Ice Cakes." "Cruise Control" It's as if RUSH GOES COUNTRY! Rod uses cowbell too. He's all over the intellectual place!! Rod is now in my TOP 5 I saw the Dixie Dregs years ago at a small dive. I was in Heaven and Rod's drum solo was out of this world!! Check out all of the Steve Morse stuff! He is so diverse and so wonderful. If you were to check out the Steve Morse Band album "Stand Up" in 1985 you would be able to listen to a very young Eric Johnson sing on a track. Great shit man. God I love rock and roll. Even country fusion prog rock jazz. The Dixie Dregs are one of the greatest bands in the land. If you don't want to get into them then it's sadly your loss. LONG LIVE THE DREGS!!!!!!! I saw Dave LaRue play bass in Joe Satriani's band when they played the entire "Surfing With The Alien" live in the old H Studio in San Francisco. It was one of my most incredible rock moments of all time. We got to meet Joe at the end of the gig. I asked Joe if he liked Alex Lifeson and Dave Meniketti. Of course he said he "dug" them both! Satch is a classy guy! Never met Morse though! I could type all night long about rock and roll. It's a Friday night. Live is so cliche but it's good! Long Live And Prosper Proggers. Love, SPOCK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUSHHEAD666 Posted April 4, 2015 Author Share Posted April 4, 2015 I honestly must say that I really don't care for Steve in Kansas and Deep Purple. Sorry! I love Steve's work better with the Dixie Dregs, The Dregs and his on Steve Morse Band stuff. Of course Morse is a badass in DP but nothing compares to his other stuff. JMFO THE DREGS RULE!

RUSHHEAD666 Posted April 4, 2015 Author Share Posted April 4, 2015 Alex Ligertwood on vocals. I actually went to junior high with his daughter Stephanie. I had a crush on her even way back when I had no clue her dad was a vocalist for Dregs and Santana! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stgaz Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 I love the Dregs, Steve and Rod too. Rod is in my top 5 as well. Listen to how beautifully he plays during the solo in The Introduction. So musical. I have seen the Steve Morse band once and they were great - they had Van Romaine on drums. Had to wait until Winger a few years ago to see Rod. They were (to me) surprisingly good - excellent actually. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to the Rush Forum! Glad that you get my sense of humor. I actually love Winger. Reb Beach, Kip Winger and Rod! WOW! I can't wait to visit your country someday! I love Olivia Newton John, AC/DC, Men At Work, INXS and AIRBOURNE! Cheers!! Earl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earl Hey man, come on down! Not too much in the way of prog and rock going on down here though! Airbourne are way bigger O/S than here. If you have a minute, check out Scary Mother, one of our very best heavy bands who sadly got nowhere. 'Who Are You' was a classic. Also Horsehead, 'Oil And Water'. Reb Beach was so outstanding, and Kip is quite the muso as well. FWIW, my top 5 drummers would be:Phil CollinsIan PaicePick WithersJeff PorcaroNeil Peart I'm coming to your part of the word to Rush at The Forum.

Cyclonus X-1 Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 All of Morse's DP albums are good except for Bananas. Purpendicular is the best one. Kansas sucks, but he did the best he could with those fools. Stressfest is my favorite of the Morse Band records. It's probably the most melodic one overall. Dave LaRue really is an amazing bass player. His playing complements Steve's extremely well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rush fan since 1984 and I've never seen them - needless to say, I'm looking forward to a great night out! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have the Japanese version with the bonus track? I believe it's a Deep Purple cover. I'm a Steve Morse addict!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
