Just bought mine for SPAC.

I love you, man.

I bet you have a man cave too.

Now THAT’S rock and roll.

Not only that, I used to be in a Rush tribute band. :)

Glad to see some love here for Hold Your Fire and Power Windows. I love the shit out of those albums.

Maybe it’s just the order in which I was exposed to them, but A Show of Hands is one of those albums where I’ve come to prefer many of the live versions on there over the originals (see also Stop Making Sense). And I’m not normally big on live albums. When I listen to the originals, they just sound…overproduced, I guess.

Also, they are just that much more awesome live.

That’s horrible spelling. Who had their third-grader transcribe it?

Dude, it’s the Sex Pistols. I’m impressed that they were able to use words with more than six letters.

Besides, proper English is for pussies and wankers! It’s a PISS STAIN.

I could totally see them responding this way.

Got my tickets for the Dallas TX show in September :)

On another note, the Rush: Beyond the Lighted Stage documentary has been announced, from the folks who brought us Metal: A Headbanger’s Journey and Iron Maiden: Flight 666.

One night only, on June 10. Alas, no Vermont screening, yet.

Only in select CANADIAN theaters.

That’s because only Canada appreciates them like they deserve.

No. (You didn’t click on the stars ‘n’ stripes, did you?)

Nashville:
The Belcourt Theatre (buy now! - 6/15,6/16,6/17 only)

So, apparently not one night only, then. Must be just the premiere they’re talking about…

Woo hoo! Thanks, all-knowing one! :)

Got the following email today:

Rush pre-release 2 new songs, “CARAVAN” and “BU2B” from the forthcoming album Clockwork Angels album (due in 2011).

Buy the 2 songs together and also get the artwork & lyric booklet where supported by the digital provider.

New album, eh? Sold!

Prerelease tracks available on iTunes and Amazon, and who knows where else?

Got that email as well, snagged the tracks and after a few listens first impressions are very positive. Really loving them (other than the title “BU2B”). Very excited for the rest of the album if these are any indication.

Yeah, that song title is a bit… eh…

But the tunes are all right.

Just a little under two months to go until I get to hear 'em live!
