I'm not usually one to come out firing but these interviewers are kind of annoying

Yeah, they are pretty awful. And you can even tell Geddy is not overly impressed with their line of questioning. The one guy not even knowing the name of the last album didn't help.

Whoa! John gave away a guitar right on the spot!

KevShmev · « **Reply #142 on:** February 21, 2015, 07:52:18 PM »

That was cool.

But overall, this is pretty bad. How has this awful show stayed on TV for 13+ seasons? Seriously.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #143 on:** February 21, 2015, 08:01:06 PM »

I love how they say 13 season when a season is six episodes . They have 3 seasons in a year.

Great job overall by John. He seemed really enthusiastic and excited to be there. He and Geddie are gonna be buds now.

Some random thoughts....That show is HORRIBLE and ET is really a tool...........JP looks absolutely hideous with that beard...........JP played some awesome licks........glad to see JP so stoked sitting next to Geddy........Speaking of Geddy, just a class act and very funny..........cool for JP to give that guitar away......and finally............HOW THE HELL could Queen, The WHO & Pink Floyd NOT be on the top 5 British '70's bands list?

John's commercial break outros were not as spectacular as could have been.

NO US tour this year and "hopefully" album will be out in 2015.

And a joke by Trunk about John blowing DT's chance to open for Rush on the R40 tour.......

Not as awesome a show as I had hoped.

To me, the low point was when Eddie seemed pissed that the one fan asked a question that stumped him.

Otherwise, I enjoyed the show. JP came off as a really great guy, and of course Geddy was the man.

Geddy and John's conversation was so interesting. Then the other dudes start talking again...

TheCountOfNYC · « **Reply #150 on:** February 21, 2015, 08:46:44 PM »

I am glad that they talked about Alex's acceptance speech. When I watched that for the first time I couldn't believe what was actually happening. Alex is a mad genius.

Aythesryche · « **Reply #151 on:** February 21, 2015, 08:49:11 PM »

I agree. I wish John had some more opportunities to ask more questions. Was also nice to hear John give praise to the first Rush album. Geddy seemed like he really appreciated what John had to say.

mike099 · « **Reply #152 on:** February 21, 2015, 08:53:36 PM »

The highlight for me was the chick in the Rush shirt. Nice fit

Would love to hear one song each from Ged's 2 bottom albums on this tour.

KevShmev · « **Reply #153 on:** February 21, 2015, 09:02:32 PM »

How about at the end when JP finally had a chance to say something for more than four seconds, only to have Trunk interrupt him when he was saying something interesting. Trunk is such a tool, and those other two clowns don't see much better. Trunk acted like a crybaby when someone asked him a question he might not know the answer to.

rumborak · « **Reply #154 on:** February 21, 2015, 09:10:48 PM »

From what I've read here so far, it doesn't sound like something I want to watch.

TheSilentHam · « **Reply #155 on:** February 21, 2015, 09:14:10 PM »

When the guys were discussing the replacement of Malcolm Young and Phil Rudd of AC/DC, Eddie Trunk stated "I never have a problem with replacing members if it's done with respect and the right way". I couldn't help wondering if that was a mild dig at JP and DT regarding the replacement his buddy.

Oh man... the interruptions really bothered me too.

Overall a fun episode and it was cool seeing JP play some stuff from his solo album and get more exposure.

But yeah it's like this every episode. They just talk about the classic hard rock/metal bands and nothing that's really current or modern. The three dudes go at it and they just interrupt the guests constantly.

Ben_Jamin · « **Reply #157 on:** February 21, 2015, 09:58:08 PM »

The interruptions were just unnecessary.

That was awesome. Geddy is amazing, but John's reverence for his hero is really impressive.

That was probably the best question he was asked throughout the show.

Geddy and John's conversation was so interesting. Then the other dudes start talking again...

Wow, I didn't think it was that bad when the hosts started talking, but there were times where I was like "Dudes, shut up!" They were pretty much adding buzz words like "true," exactly, or something like that without really adding anything else, while Geddy and JP are still talking.

Well I really don't consider ET and the other two guys to have any kind of keen insight or intelligence, so I think they were tongued tied to see their interviewee (JP) ask a more impressive question than they could muster on their own.

If it was, he needs to get a grip, because DT did handle replacing Portnoy the right way.

Agree. Leaving out their stupid "let's ignore everything from the last 30 years of Rush" mentality, they are just bad interviewers. Like you said, their questions had no insight at all, and it's like they were just spitballing dumb questions off the top of their head. JP's question was great, and I think it would be neat to see more interviews where musicians interview other musicians.

Calvin6s · « **Reply #166 on:** February 22, 2015, 06:25:04 AM »

Just watched the aftershow bit. Were the hosts trying to act like they were above the musician talk? Kind of douchey.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #167 on:** February 22, 2015, 06:26:10 AM »

Guy, come on on the taking a shot at JP about replacing a band member "The right way". No way you take a shot at someone like that face to face. You'll ruin your brand by doing so.

Now, leaving out the last 30 years is something they do with the long time bands. Some people can only follow a band in their "teen" years and when a band has longevity, their music changing with the times and fans fall off.

That was actually really cool. But yeah, I immediately had the impression it's the best interaction of the show.

Finally watched the whole show. Overall, I thought the show was decent. Seemed like a fun atmosphere and giving the guitar away was pretty cool. Talk about a memorable moment for that guy.

Petrucci just played solo album stuff, so that part was just okay for me. And his look was quite a bit better in live motion as opposed to still pictures.

If you are a Rush fan, then this episode was 90% Geddy so you'll probably enjoy it.

Yeah that's definitely a great idea for a show. You can have musicians interview their idols and such.
