Stop toying with me, Gravy. We all know about Neil Peart's talents. Don't make me take you into citizens' arrest.

It rocked, no question.

I'm not sure that I would agree that it is the best Rush song "ever... EVER," but I would agree that it was the best Rush instrumental song ever... EVER, and in any event, it certainly rocked and I've loved it since the first time I heard it.

As an aside, being a long time Rush fan myself (even before I saw them in concert for the first time back when I was in grade 10), it was more than than passing amusing to me that my daughter went to see them in concert a few weeks ago at the ACC.

Yes, some bands are so good that their longevity is not embarrassing, but rather is to be savoured. Rush is most definitely one of them. Neil is amazing.

Ha! As if.

Here is the Rush instrumental "YYZ" - there are lots of versions, but this one will do nicely.

It's hard to actually pin down a single "best" song from those guys.

As a drummer...I feel the need to hurt you. Not badly...but I want to break the skin in some way.

Without a doubt, Neil is one of the best drummers in the world ever.. EVER.

(And I don't just say that because I've met and partied with him. I say that quite sincerely because it's absolutely true.)

Well, as long as I don't have to hear Geddy Lee's caterwauling. On the high school football team our fullback used to play Rush constantly on the boombox in the locker room. Before a game I finally had enough, popped the tape out, snapped it in half, handed it to him, and said, "If this happens again I never block the linebacker on the 107-M. Is that clear?"

"Yes, sir."

DRAMA QUEEN!!!


Please understand that I call you that only because I haven't partied with Neil and would find it to be the most incredible moment of my life if I were to have that moment. I'm acting on complete emotion by lashing out and calling you names and will continue to do so until you lie and tell me it never happened...bitch.

Would it satisfy you to know I've spent the last half hour digging through piles of dusty old CD's looking for my copy of "A Show of Hands"?

All because of you. :p

ETA: Would you feel better if I added "The Rythm Method" to that list?

I bow in your need for closure. Indeed, it's satifying.

God bless you.

Well, with the YYZ instrumental, you don't have to hear Geddy Lee's voice, of course. That said, I really like Geddy's voice as well. No, really.

You have to admit that it is unique, almost impossible to imitate, difficult to emulate, and quite intriguing, even if you don't care for it personally. I love his voice for those reasons.

Neener neener neener. :p Sorry, I can't lie and tell you that it never happened, because it did. But if it makes you feel better, I can tell you that the only reason I had the good fortune of partying with him and the others was because Neil is (well, was now) a cousin to a good friend, so when they were playing in the area, I was invited along for the party. And it was a blast! :D

Does that help?

No. I hate you. I now have to go cry into my pillow and wish God was better to me.

Lucky bastard.

Okay, would it help if I clarified and told you that the last time I partied with them was approximately 15 years ago, and that I haven't partied with them since?

(Hey, I'm trying, here! I don't want you to hate me, so I don't even go into the jam session fun ;) )

If I was a religious sort, which I'm not, I'd say, "SACRILEGE!!! You big meanie!!!!"
Geddy rocks. And is nearly impossible to imitate. I think that's a good thing, all around.

<bounces off the tracks> what is it With the Rush evangalists, yeah they are alright (note, not a muso) but if you want to start a fight in my regular haunt, just state that Rush are adequate and I can't see why you skin thumpers rant on about him so much, Rory Gallagher was an adequate guitarist but there are plenty better, Rik wakeman was crap, Kieth Emerson is god, or AC/DC are over rated Dogs D'amour were far superior.

sit back pinch your nose with finger and thumb, and watch the fur fly through your still partially functioning eye. <Back on Track>

Here's a brief video rebuttal to the boneheads who claim that airliners can't fly fast and low. The people who say that about flight 77 are missing the point anyway: that plane descended and crashed, which any plane can do, and it was only at an altitude where ground effect would come into play for a second or two. Even if ground effect had paranormal pillowy powers, flight 77 still would have hit the Pentagon. So why did I bother making this? Because I like planes. Beachnut should get a kick out of the first one.
