I love that an alternate title for the St Louis '80 Rush bootleg is Taurus Pedals From Hell.

That is a great sounding bootleg.

Modified the thread title, since the "two weeks til" part is a little outdated now.

I can see him sneaking in the toilet every fifteen minutes to record his ideas with his ipad, making the other guests think he suffered from prostatitis

That sounds like the most artsy and overindulgent Prog Metal song in existence. ... Also sounds like something that DT really needs to make!

It will be one track and they'll all stand around a microphone and IMAGINE the song for 60 minutes exactly.

And If you buy the CD and all you hear is 60 minutes of silence - well then maybe Prog is not for you.

p.s. Myung will be audible on this CD.

Yes but it's just a fart the mic caught.

So his tone on the album will be the same.

Anyway, wasn't the little keyboard there last time too? All the drum triggered samples must come from some place

I can't remember if it was there last time but I'm 99% sure the samples don't come from that. It looks like an MAudio Oxygen series midi controller which itself has no sounds built in.

I'd need some Oxygen too if I was playing that set.

It looks like the F# is broken !

Maybe James was messing around on Myung's bass and couldn't quite reach it.

Orbert · « **Reply #259 on:** January 18, 2013, 11:36:17 AM »

It looks like someone has taped pieces of white paper onto the keys, probably so they can see them better, and the paper on the F# is coming off. Or maybe that's how they're actually finished. But either way, it just looks like the white part is coming off.

Kotowboy · « **Reply #260 on:** January 18, 2013, 11:41:39 AM »

Ok.

TheGreatPretender · « **Reply #261 on:** January 18, 2013, 11:42:51 AM »

Okay, so for someone who's a total musical gear noob, what is that, exactly?

Anyway, can a musician explain what is that Taurus Moog (and why it is special, if it is at all)? I'm curious

Taurus bass pedals started off as exactly that, back in the 70's. They drove a small Moog synthesizer dedicated to playing bass, usually so someone whose hands are otherwise occupied could play a bass line. It didn't take long for bands to figure out that they didn't just have to be used for bass notes. Synth lines or strings, for example, could also be added pretty easily. Rush uses them a lot, since there's only three of them. There's an awesome moment during Xanadu when I'm pretty sure both Alex and Geddy are playing pedals, while Alex plays the guitar solo and Geddy plays the rhythm guitar part (they both played doublenecks back then).

I haven't seen a Taurus in years and didn't even realize that they're still around, but it looks like they've evolved quite nicely. Now I want one.

That's tape on the pedals, they don't come with white bits, I'm pretty sure.

Orbert · « **Reply #267 on:** January 18, 2013, 12:18:31 PM »

Yeah, I wasn't sure, since I haven't seen one in so long. I thought maybe the newer ones might or something.

bosk1 · « **Reply #268 on:** January 18, 2013, 12:29:12 PM »

I don't know for sure, but I don't think it's tape. It looks too uniform.

wasteland · « **Reply #269 on:** January 18, 2013, 12:31:44 PM »

Thanks for the great explaination, Orbert! I've learned something new today, and this automatically makes it a good day

I totally missed it. I'd noticed the weirdness of the white tape (or whatever it is) and focused on that.
