I love History of the World: Part 1

Same.  I tried watching the second one that came out a few years ago and turned it off after about 20 minutes.  It was bloody awful.

Thankfully, I did not watch it.

Dunno if they've been mentioned here before or not, but I just happened to come across this video of the drum solo from the tribute band "The Rush Experience" - pretty impressive, especially given that he has the electronic kit in the back on the rotating platform. Didn't expect that from a tribute band!  :o
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJcndVE5S08

I did check out a few other videos afterward. Looks like they used to be known as The Omega Concern and had a different guitarist. Props to them for doing it as a trio, although "Geddy"'s vocals aren't as strong as the real Geddy, or at the very least they don't cut through the mix as well. Nonetheless I'm still impressed.

As a basic rule, if you hate it, you must solely blame Portnoy. If it's good, then you must downplay MP's contribution to the band as not being important anyway, or claim he's just lying. It's the DTF way.

Speaking of Tribute bands: we are going to see Thunderhead in St. Louis in March. I've seen a little of them (couldn't make it for the entire show a couple of years ago but they are indeed quite talented. They are a 3 piece and pull off their parts very well.

That said, I've always thought that being part of a Tribute band is a waste of talent but to each their own.

It's big money, even if it isn't pure artistic creation.  Up this way (the northeast) tribute bands are a big deal.  "Get The Led Out" plays the same venue as Dream Theater has played for the last 18 tours (the Oakdale).   I've seen The Musical Box each of the last four tours they've done, and they've sold out every show.

An hour of Geddy's appearance at Massey Hall, together with Alex, on his book tour. A pro-shot video from CBC Music.

I thought I might share this.  I’m in a barcade in Cleveland and I found a Rush pinball machine.  It doesn’t work though!!!

Nice!  Supposedly, there are a few in the OC.  There's a "locator" at the manufacturer's website.  I haven't gotten around to actually trying to find one.

This is on a whole other level from the fan shot video that's out there from Massey Hall.

Totally understandable. I just hope they still have interest in create new music together.

I wonder if they might ever do, like, a mini-tour where they play two nights in Toronto, New York, and Los Angeles over a couple of weeks or something. Totally makes sense why Alex doesn't want to do a full tour though. Being 70 and just sitting around in random city hotels sounds kind of terrible. :lol

I could see some sort of residency.  Obviously, they should do whatever it is they want to do, but my personal preference would be that they leave the legacy as it is.

This would be ideal to me. Maybe somewhere between 8 and 10 shows spanning the States but they need to hit the mid-west!  :biggrin:

Alex says he has no interest in touring.

https://guitar.com/news/music-news/alex-lifeson-rush-reunion-not-interested/

He's been that way. Apparently the hints weren't working. One-offs /special events still on the table.
