Rush v. Dirk, Pratt, & Lerxst

[coz]

  @ Scotty.  The Geddy face one is funny.  The Alex face one is just damn creepy!  Looks like some kinda Geoff Tate/Eddie Vedder experiment gone wrong.

Starts to open the door to the thread... No, sorry to disturb, I'll come back later....

Right?

Anyway, hopefully back to the topic: I like Rush. Enough to have seen them a few times in concert, at least. Probably liked the personalities more than most of the music, especially with respect to their output since the reunion (is that the right word to use?). Was aware of Geddy's autobiography but didn't feel the need to engage with it. Until, that is, on Monday when faced with a roadtrip for work, I was looking for a new audiobook. I chose My Effin' Life. And wow, I'm about five hours in now and it's absolutely fabulous. Geddy really brings his words to life and the appearance (only one so far) by Alex is wonderful. If you've only read the book, do yourself a favour and grab the audiobook. It's so much more than the words alone can be.

You can almost see my counterparts..

More like, Where's My Thing?

Yeah come on Tim, show me don't tell me, stick it out!

[Podaar]

Sounds like Wolfie's in the mood.

[Stadler]

I just gagged.

[HOF]

This thread should come with a distant early warning.

Don't swallow the poison; spit it out (if you don't like it).

Good to know!  I'll have to check out the audiobook at some point.

Yes, thanks for the heads up!  I'm going to pickup the audiobook now as well.

David Coverdale thanks you.

It's true.  Im always in the mood.  It's an open secret.

Considering how my girlfriend in late '87/early '88 felt about WS's self-titled album, I figure I owe him one.

That might be the speed of love for you, but in the end, it's really heresy. That's probably a far cry from what you think, but for what it's worth, that's how it is.

Has anyone else seen this before? I had no idea there was unreleased demo material and it's from Tim's favorite album too

I wonder what else is out there now...

This was available a while ago, and obviously they have the demos of other albums. Too bad they had the "discipline" to throw away unused ideas. And as per Geddy, they almost did this with Tom Sawyer!!!

These have been out for a while now. Kind of a fluke that they escaped the studio.

I love how you know you're always outnumbered yet you keep swinging.  I admire that Tim.

Because it's another against TIm? 

[King Postwhore]

Fucking A it it is. Metal or die Tim knows no melody.

[TAC]

Does melody walk through the door or does it fly out the window? I don't remember.

[wolfking]

Tim and I scaringly agree on the majority of things but Power Windows I think over time has been my 'go to' Rush album.  The synth era is by far my fav.  I'm not big on the old stuff, the Moving Pictures era is of course wonderful but GUP, Signals, Power Windows even Hold Your Fire is climbing the rankings.  Counterparts is up there too actually but that synth stuff is unmatched and PW keeps coming out on top.  Just an amazing album in every single way.

Fixed this for you mate! 

[wolfking]

Also, it's a bit fucking early for a 6:00 XMas morning reference too!  Still a few days away mate.

[TAC]

I'm a forward thinker.

This is a falsehood x infinity  lol

Tim is really not the majority. In his mind he is the and all be all bit he is concussed from his metal listening.

No I just meant, we're on the same page but I'm happy not to be on the same page as him with this one. 

Plus if Tim is concussed from his metal listening, then I must be unconscious! 

[TAC]

Well, that explains it then.
