One of the best shows I saw was Metallica on the Ride the Lightning Tour opening at Day on the Green in the Oakland Coliseum.

i love that my little daughter can sing all of "hello mr zebra" - now if only she can learn the piano part...

I like the cheezy lyrics:

 

RUSH - Natural Science

When the ebbing tide retreats

Along the rocky shoreline,

It leaves a trail of tidal pools

In a short-lived galaxy.

Each microcosmic planet

A complete society.

 

A simple kind mirror

To reflect upon our own.

All the busy little creatures

Chasing out their destinies.

Living in the pools,

They soon forget about the sea...

 

Wheels within wheels in a spiral array,

A pattern so grand and complex,

Time after time we lose sight of the way,

Our causes can't see their effects.

 

A quantum leap forward

In time and in space,

The universe learned to expand.

 

Myths and the magic,

Triumphant and tragic,

A mechanized world out of hand.

Computerized clinic

For superior cynics

Who dance to a synthetic band.

 

In their own image,

Their world is fashion.

No wonder they don't understand.

 

Science, like nature

Must also be tamed

With a view toward it's preservation.

Given the same

State of integrity,

It will surely serve us well.

 

Art as expression,

Not as market campaigns

Will still capture our imaginations.

Given the same

State of integrity,

It will surely help us along.

 

The most endangered species,

The honest man,

Will still survive annihilation.

Forming a world

State of integrity,

Sensitive, open and strong.

 

Wave after wave will flow with the tide, and bury the world as it does.

Tide after tide will flow and recede, leaving life to go on as it was...

Canadians love that sort of shit!!!

[KaskadskyjKozak]

Canadians love that sort of shit!!!

 

Right, because in general they are intelligent.

She should learn to sing "Winter" since its about her dad and mittens and a bunch of weird shit about horses. Right up your alley Ivan. And Tori often plays two pianos facing each other while she sits in between. We would all need good luck with that.

 

I have never seen Metallica in concert. Its on my bucket list before their hair gets even shorter.

 

One last suggestion: Blue October's "Hate Me" should be the theme song for some threads.

 

Key lyric: "Hate me for all the things I didn't do for you".

best tori amos lyric: "wanna smash the faces of those beutiful boys, those christian boys - what, so you can make me cum, it doesn't make you jesus!"

[matt_warfield]

One of my favorites:

 

"I got a bowling ball in my stomach

I got a desert in my mouth"

 

that's just good shit.

 

But Ivan, if we keep posting this stuff, we'll get Rushed right out of the Bro Club.

Back on track. Some "cheesy" lyrics for you Vanya, and in honor of I 502:

 

Our first stop is in Bogota

To check the Colombian fields

The natives smile and pass along

A sample of their yield

Sweet Jamaican pipe dreams

Golden Acapulco nights

Then Morocco, and the East,

Fly by morning light

 

We're on the train to Bangkok

Aboard the Thailand Express

We'll hit the stops along the way

We only stop for the best

 

Wreathed in smoke in Lebanon

We burn the midnight oil

The fragrance of Afghanistan

Rewards a long day's toil

Pulling into Katmandu

Smoke rings fill the air

Perfumed by a Nepal night

The Express gets you there

 

We're on the train to Bangkok

Aboard the Thailand Express

We'll hit the stops along the way

We only stop for the best

saw them 2 times: first time during the "metal up your ass" tour (lineup with Burton and Mustaine) and then "black" tour. I think things went downhill and never saw them again. Saw Motorhead in Buffalo NY, insane show!

[G-spotter]

If it wasn't for Rush, Squamish would have 10% less sport climbs since Jim Sandford wouldn't have been able to name anything.

[The_Rooster]

HELLO!

Why would you go see Rush? He's unbearable enough on his radio show!

 

COCK A DOODLE DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[matt_warfield]

As far as I know, Eurasian Eyes is because of his spouse, Pulse is because he lost feeling in his hands on the FA, and Driven was because it required so much effort to bump another letter grade.

 

Rush to my knowledge had nothing to do with those three, but there may be others.

Pulse is actually the Pink Floyd Division Bell live tour and the direct start to Division Bell. Losing feeling in the hands was probably secondary.

 

As for the Rush route names what do Fly By Night, A Show of Hands, Permanent Waves and Caress of Steel (to name four JS routes) all have in common?

Yes things did go downhill as far as creativity but their legacy is intact and I don't care if they do anything new ever again.

 

As long as my pulse increases with "Enter Sandman" or ACDCs "Hells Bells" or Accept's "Balls to the Wall" I will know I am still alive and that politics and the flu are irrelevant at the moment. Oh, let's add Dio "Holy Diver".

I defer to the expert: G-Spotter. I was hoping I might have more knowledge than the local but apparently am trumped. Canucks rule once again.

I also saw them on Master of Puppets (opening for Ozzy I think) and the Black Album (I don't remember who opened). I wouldn't mind seeing them now at least for the bassist - the dude is really good.

those are all album titles although one was a live album

[matt_warfield]

Again, I plead ignorant due to partial knowledge.

 

I will consult Wikipedia and reappear more knowledgable.

 

I forgot that Rush was Canadian and that you guys know your own and circle wagons way better than we do in the US.

His wife?

[G-spotter]

I think he actually named a couple routes after Whitesnake songs or albums too

[Pete_H]

On the local butt-rock radio station yesterday I heard Whitesnake was dissapointed with ticket sales on their recent tour. Their lead singer commented that "Americans just don't appreciate good rock and roll anymore."
