Analogman Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 What DVD is Neil putting out? Neil Peart Taking Center Stage: Lifetime of Live Performances Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jff Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Neil Peart Taking Center Stage: Lifetime of Live Performances Oh cool. That title seems to be a bit misleading, but I'm sure I'll watch it at some point. I love seeing videos of them from the early days when Peart had a comparatively tiny drumset. I'd be thrilled if more of that stuff were to come out, but by now I doubt there's anyhing left to release. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I thought so also. I normally would not buy such a thing, but since some of it was filmed at the show I was at - I suppose I may get it eventually. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
borracho Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Tax incentives? That was just a wild guess. Actually, there's this: http://www.cleveland...rush_cleve.htmloh, i remember that now! that makes total sense... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Vacant Horizon Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 A new Neil post: At The Gate Of The Year I wish he would do a daily blog type of deal. seeing that pic of his drums in the studio is cool. wish i could go in there a make them sound like drums on the next album. not some digitized beats as they have sounded since...counterparts? none the less, looking forward to the album.

Analogman Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I've heard some rumors that they are going to play Signals on this tour. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I wish they'd go back to playing arenas. i'm with you on this. i'd rather they play phillips. lot less of a hassel to get to in some ways. i was on a major rush kick after their last tour, but i might run out of steam by the time november comes around. hadn't hear the signals rumor. that would be interesting and a change of pace from their recent hard rock stuff. i also heard rumors of entire 2112 album. who knows.

jff Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I'm holding out for a Farewell To Kings tour. I'd like that. The title track is probably the best of their rarely played tunes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 It's one of my favorite Rush albums. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vacant Horizon Posted April 23, 2012 Author Share Posted April 23, 2012 Kings or Hemispheres would be pretty awesome. those are my two favorite albums from them. Xanadu is probably my favorite song of theirs. btw, there is a scifi novel coming out with the new album. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Xanadu is probably my favorite song of theirs. btw, there is a scifi novel coming out with the new album. Those are probably my two favorites, as well. My high school cover band used to play a pretty decent version of La Villa Strangiato, so Hemispheres will probably always be at or near the top for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vacant Horizon Posted April 24, 2012 Author Share Posted April 24, 2012 la villa in a HS band! badass. we played 30 minute versions of all along the watchtower in my HS band :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jff Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 la villa in a HS band! badass. we played 30 minute versions of all along the watchtower in my HS band :-) Yes, and there is video (although I have no idea how I would go about making it internet ready). I was the drummer. I certainly didn't get the parts perfect, but I did ok for a teenager. It'd be the world's worst joke if I tried to play even the easiest Rush song these days. I never tried playing All Along the Watchtower, but we would jam on Voodoo Chile (Slight Return) for ages. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I never tried playing All Along the Watchtower, but we would jam on Voodoo Chile (Slight Return) for ages. voodoo chile..nice. my point about watchtower was that we could only play 3 chord tunes and just jam them out a la grateful dead. i can play a lot more intricate stuff these days, but never Rush, then or now. that is just so cool. i can't imagine going to some HS battle of the bands and seeing LA Villa. funny story, we were basically the hippie band, go figure. we pulled together some band showcase thing sr. year and got a few other bands involved. so all these really bad HS bands playing red hot chili peppers and stuff play. we thought we were hot shit when we got out there and could actually solo. the last act was the Industrial Arts guys. they walk out on stage unassumingly and RIP into the most perfect rocking' version of skynyrd's gimme three steps! they were so damn good. i think they played some metallica that night as well as some other classic rock staples like Frankenstein. the next week the lead guitar dude from that band came up to me and said he could write out the music for their metallica songs for me. he was a badass. ah, memories.
