oooh ok

I didn't know Peart had dvds out. Know what they're about?

[QUOTE=Distant Echoes]I mean the full email of all the albums i sent. I got yours...and included it. Did anybody get my email?

Does anybody have any of Peart's DVDs too? I heard A Work in Progress wasnt that great, but I never heard anything about any of them[/QUOTE]
AWIP is the highest-selling drumming instructional DVD of all time (or so I've heard). I've heard mixed reviews, I guess it depends on your style of drumming. If you're into total perfectionism (like Peart), then it's probably a good buy (unfortunately, it's quite expensive).

Ok I was lynch-mobbed (well ok, maybe not) into posting this here as well as in it's own separate thread, so discuss at will!

[QUOTE]"2112 is just plain terrible. Any story about a land where music has been band and a 'hero' finds a guitar, thus bringing music back to the masses may have appealed to me when I was 10 years old but now just sounds dated and comical. And as for the inside cover photo of the band...well, move over Freddie Mercury cos here come the winged crusaders from Canada!!"

From a local forum for local people - I wondered what everyone's views on this were?[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=yay4beingbanned]I was also wondering if any of you could help me with Tom Sewer keyboarding parts cause there no where to be found...[/QUOTE]


I think it's along the lines of:

A F# G E F# D

I'm not sure, though. In order for it to sound right you need his settings. I just tabbed it out on a piano, and it doesn't sound right. But I think this is it. Also, timing is vitally important.

EDIT: On the topic of 2112, it is one of my favorite songs/albums and I think whoever said that doesn't have an open mind.

Ignorance. Sad.

[QUOTE=wholedzep]Ignorance. Sad.[/QUOTE]

I'm so glad you think so, I was beginning to lose faith.

This just reaffirms my distaste for musicians' attitudes where I live (SE England). No one gets on with anyone else down here, and people disagree with people just for the sake of it! It's demoralising to think I have to live here and make the most of it! :p

[QUOTE]Any story about a land where music has been band and a 'hero' finds a guitar, thus bringing music back to the masses[/QUOTE]

This is pure crap. He's not a hero, and when he tries to show the priests the guitar, they reject what he had poured his heart and soul into and he goes into a state of depression. [B]Whoever wrote that hasen't even heard 2112![/B]

I can't seem to get over The Trees, I love the fingerpicking at the start and the instrumentals and everything. It sounds terrific.
And yea, I actually like lyrics which are straightforward enough for people to understand without making it kids music, like 2112 and the trees. (Or anything by Ayreon for that matter, another great prog rock 'band').

Rush is an excellent band. They are in my top 10.

I'm only recently getting into them, but i love almost all of what i've heard. would anyone like to recommend some of their best starter albums? my favourite songs are 2112 (of course :upset:) and red barchetta. umm yeah, how about some recommendations? :thumb:

Listen to YYZ :thumb:

Moving Pictures is the standard, good if you're just getting into them. 2112 is awesome. Hemispheres is great too, but you might want to get into them a bit more before trying that one out.

I find A Farewell to Kings to be a really good album, as well as the ones mentioned already. Permanent Waves as well.

[QUOTE=theosd]Listen to YYZ :thumb:[/QUOTE]

Also listen to La Villa La Strangiato (sp.) I might venture to say its better than YYZ.

Hemispheres was actually the first album I heard by them. I had heard various songs, but when I got Hemispheres, I really liked it.

[QUOTE]Also listen to La Villa La Strangiato (sp.) I might venture to say its better than YYZ.[/QUOTE]

I agree. It's one of my favorite instrumentals.

I loooove Hemispehres

Soooo underrated

[QUOTE=thunderzstruck]I loooove Hemispehres

I agree, it's awesome. I just think that for alot of people, it's a bit of a "for fans" album.

[QUOTE=Obi One Kenodi]Also listen to La Villa La Strangiato (sp.) I might venture to say its better than YYZ.[/QUOTE]

Whoa now! Let's not get out of hand here.

YYZ > all

I never see Hemispheres in any stores...Usually the CD stores i go to have a lot of very random Rush CDs...coincidentaly the ones i own. Im so close to having the discography! I may nevr actually find any live albums anywere though. There toughies.

Meh.. La villa Strangiato IS more musical than YYZ... ill have to admit that...

[QUOTE=wholedzep]I agree, it's awesome. I just think that for alot of people, it's a bit of a "for fans" album.[/QUOTE]


Yeah, it's definatly not one to convert a Rush fan. It was the second full album I heard by them and I was definatly put off the first time I heard it

Rush does have some awsome instrumentals. I hope their new album has at least 1...when was the last album they even put an instrumental on? Anybody know?

[QUOTE=rockinbass17]I think it's along the lines of:

A F# G E F# D
[/QUOTE]

Whoever wanted this, I'm correcting myself. It's:

A F# [B]G#[/B] E F# D

Sorry for the mistake. Remember I'm using an out of tune piano.

Yeah. Although if you don't like Rush right away, I don't think you ever will.

I liked everything about them right from the first measure of the first song I ever heard.

Rush and I were meant to be :)

I disagree completely. It takes time for some people to enjoy Geddy Lee's voice.

[QUOTE=satchforever]I disagree completely. It takes time for some people to enjoy Geddy Lee's voice.[/QUOTE]

Totally true.

I was obliged to being exposed to the DVD first so when i seen who was singing, I could visualize it for my first CD. I didnt like the DVD until i actually got a CD though, then i was all about rush.

[QUOTE=satchforever]I disagree completely. It takes time for some people to enjoy Geddy Lee's voice.[/QUOTE]

If I minded Geddy's voice, I would have never started listening to them.

That sucks that you wouldn't give a band more than one listen just because you don't like the singer's voice.
