| O&A Board Veteran Registered: Feb. 01 | I heard it was getting released today, but I haven't gotten a chance to listen yet. I'd really like to see them when they tour. I love the Counterparts album.  I believe in the Faith... that can save me. I believe in the hope and I pray... That someday it may raise me... above these badlands Over The Limit | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Apr. 01 | I'll admit this... I knew the single was coming out today and I knew WDHA would play it today...right at f'n 3pm. I missed the first 6 or 7 minutes of O & A because of their "programming". I thought "One Little Victory" rocked even though Geddy's vocal's were overshadowed (IMO his voice has matured nicely). They never release the best material from a new CD as the first single anyway. I'm really looking forward to hearing more. | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01 | I heard the song today on the way home from work. I don't remember the actual name of it, but it sounded pretty damn good to me. I probably won't run out and buy this CD based on this one song alone, but if the others are like this one, then this CD has some potential.

| Psychopath Registered: Sep. 00 | quote: Glad to see I'm not completely alone :) Just finally got to hear the track (when I posted earlier I was at work, with no speakers :mad: ), and I'm really digging it! I was afraid this album might end up being a rehash of Geddy's My Favorite Headache, but this track is definitly a departure from that. Album's out May 14, tour starts in June... Can't.....Fucking.....Wait..... P.S. - Eddie Trunk will be playing clips from other tracks off the "Vapor Trails" CD on tonight on Friday Night Rocks... or so says his website...

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01 | I've been a RUSH fan since I was a 15, and this song sounds pretty good. I know it's way to early, but if anyone is interested in meeting up before the shows (when they tour), count me in. Traditionally, I usually go to every area show when they come around. With these guys getting older, you never know when it might be their "last" time around. Rush is one of the few bands from the late 60's and early 70's that are still relevant and still put out rockin' tunes.  You can reach me through AIM or email. Feel free to contact me if you have any board questions, techie (PC) questions, or even if you just wanna chat.

| Psychopath Registered: Feb. 01 | I heard it on Saturday Night Rocks coming home last night and I have to say I was disappointed. Normally I really dig Rush but if I popped in a tape to listen to something else than it must have really been bad. A heavy dose of reality, with a shot of piss and vinegar I love the kindredbabe, the MamaCaz, the SyKoPaThCHiK, and especially the RF and my little walking Disaster Area!!!! | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Apr. 01 | I didn't want to let this thread die just yet because this band DESERVES to be talked about... and I wanted the status of the first Turk to post in this thread to be inaccurate. I caught the end of what Eddie Trunk played (thanks, Av8er) and it kinda sorta sounded like Geddy's solo effort mentioned above; I didn't like it either. I thought Victor, Alex Lifeson's solo CD was good, however. I think it showed that they really do get a synergistic effect when they're together. Having said that, I think it's waaaaaay too early to make any judgements about Vapor Trails. quote: Make that three.:) | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Jul. 00 | quote from Turk408quote: Sure I understand where you're coming from. I also can't quite get past Signals as being there last good stuff, but my friend, YOU MISSED OUT. After Eddie played the new clips he gave us old RUSH fans a real treat. Fucking Cygnus X-1 Book One - The Voyage Prologue In the constellation of Cygnus There lurks a mysterious, invisible force The Black Hole Of Cygnus X-1 Six Stars of the Northern Cross In mourning for their sister's loss In a final flash of glory Nevermore to grace the night... 1 Invisible To telescopic eye Infinity The star that would not die All who dare To cross her course Are swallowed by A fearsome force Through the void To be destroyed Or is there something more? Atomized --- at the core Or through the Astral Door --- To soar... 2 I set a course just east of Lyra And northwest of Pegasus Flew into the light of Deneb Sailed across the Milky Way On my ship, the 'Rocinante' Wheeling through the galaxies, Headed for the heart of Cygnus Headlong into mystery The x-ray is her siren song My ship cannot resist her long Nearer to my deadly goal Until the Black Hole --- Gains control... 3 Spinning, whirling, Still descending Like a spiral sea, Unending Sound and fury Drowns my heart Every nerve Is torn apart... Eddie Trunk rocks my socks off. He is the only one who has the balls to play a song like that. Thomas  | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Sep. 00 | Well, IMHO... Rush is not fast food... you need to give it a few listens to really get into it... I hated counterparts when it first came out... but after about a week I found my self really getting into it... so don't pass judgement too quick... quote: Thats cool, squidwad... Rush isn't for everybody... but then, what is? There are people that love country music... I would personally rather shove icepicks into my skull then listen to that crap... but thats me... | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01 | Of the "newer" Rush albums I would have to say Counterparts is not really high on my love-o-meter. It's a very raw-sounding disc with some rockin' moments, but overall it feels somewhat empty to me - almost forced. Test for Echo to me is a warmer (and albeit better, IMO) album, and that tour was awesome simply for the fact that they played 2112 from beginning to end - something I thought I would never see. Rush is one of those bands that tries to change things up with each album. It's great to see them coming out again and apparently planning a HUGE tour this summer. In todays world where most "popular" music isn't even written by the artists who are perfoming it, it's a testament to see a band like Rush still be relevant. Peart has always been a god to me as well as an influence in my drumming techniques - I just hope I get to meet the man one day to shake his hand and thank him. He (as well as Geddy & Alex) have gotten me through some really rough times in my life.  You can reach me through AIM or email. Feel free to contact me if you have any board questions, techie (PC) questions, or even if you just wanna chat.
