It's possible. :) Whatever. How are you tonight?

Same old grind. Having some interesting mood swings in my music though. Running Wild, Jimmy Cliff, Boston, and Candlemass.

You?

I'm ok. Had a tiring day at work, and driving home in the middle of our blizzard was utter hell...I had to inch up a mountain at 15 miles an hour and it was a nightmare.

I had manicotti for dinner though, which rocked. I'm listening to some downloads that AntiHero put up.

Rush is the bees knees! I've been buying there albums in chronological order for some time know, and I have to say there all some of the best albums I own! I have to get Hemispheres, the next own in order.
And the fact that there from Cananda just makes them better!

Wow, I don't think I've heard that expression since I wrote that pulp fiction screenplay.

Rush rox my sox.

They're great in concert so see them if they're ever in your town.

rush is awesome

So what's your overall fav. song by rush?

Spirit of the Radio or Earthshine.

[QUOTE=thunderzstruck]So what's your overall fav. song by rush?[/QUOTE]

La Villa Strangiato, Hemispheres, and probably either the Spirit of Radio or Marathon. The Big Money, The Weapon, Digital Man, and Analog Kid are all up there too.

And then 2112. :)

I think Bastille Day.

Really? Why?

[QUOTE=Cain]Really? Why?[/QUOTE]
One of the first ones I ever heard, and I don't know, I just like it for no good reason...plus I can play it :)

My favourite Rush song is The Necromancer,
mainly because:
It has around 3 different sections,
It has a really weird and atmospheric undertone to it,
The Lyrics are mind blowing,
As always with Rush, superb instrumentation.
:cool:

[QUOTE=thunderzstruck]So what's your overall fav. song by rush?[/QUOTE]
...Xanadu, A farewell to kings, Natural science, The spirit of radio and La villa strangiato.

ergh... red barchetta and limelight is pretty high.. but "out of the cradle" is AMAZING!

The Spririt of Radio (first song i ever heard by them) and 2112 are my fav.

Spirit of Radio is a favorite of mine. I wish I could play that good. Sadly... I just can't. :upset:

spirit of the radio aint that hard.. have you tried to play it? realy.. it goes in a e Major scale all the way...

the verse riff goes 1, 5, 3, flatted 4 and 5...

I think i've had every Rush song stuck in my head at one point or another. That's awesome.

My right-hand technique is appalling. I'm way too heavy-handed.

I used to be able to play the beginning of Spirit of Radio perfectly and up to speed but now since I have not played it in a while I can't nomore :upset:

I can't play the beginning for beans.

I have most of their CD's. Great band.

/Can play the Spirit of Radio :D

And La Villa Strangiato :eek:

Ok thats kool that you all can play the intro to SOTR on guitar but try playing O basteria on drums (Neil Peart's solo). Now that takes endurance.
