Take for example-Robert Plant. We all know his legacy as the frontman for the legendary Led Zeppelin. His has turned down offers in millions to reunite with the former band, yet he chooses to work with country fiddler/singer Allison Krauss with very respectable results. I LOVED it!<br /><br />Not all things work out as planned. Ian Gillin's venture with Black Sabbath was a bust. I hated Ozzy Osbourne's latest album, Scream, when he did the techno thing. <br /><br />Then again, many bands like the Scorpions, Dokken, and Great White play it safe by rehashing the same material over and over again. It gets old after awhile...<br /><br />Some bands like U2 and REM reinvent themselves. Taking risks. Some worked-others didn't. Others just evolved-like Rush. These bands test the hands of time proving to be worthy of being respectable musicians.<br /><br />As for Metallica teaming with Lou Reed...I'm all for it! Metallica has taken risks before, with panned results. Weather pass or fail, they'll have my respect...drewzepmeisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15553144737305430009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2070576740953109526.post-70309847989352368962011-10-10T18:31:52.967-07:002011-10-10T18:31:52.967-07:00Being as huge Rush fan, I'm surprised that I d...Being as huge Rush fan, I'm surprised that I don't have this.

I especially liked how they played "Gods of War" during that show. Awesome!drewzepmeisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15553144737305430009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2070576740953109526.post-81005798278334837162011-08-29T08:54:33.458-07:002011-08-29T08:54:33.458-07:00Used to play 2112 (the song) from beginning to end...Used to play 2112 (the song) from beginning to end on the drums. Neal Peart is the main reason I play the way I do. I have practiced at one point and time every song from Moving Pictures except Witch Hunt. Both are amazing albums but I must confess A Farewell to Kings remains my favorite Rush album.Tonal Memorieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01274660917600496052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2070576740953109526.post-24287105186173210412011-08-29T04:39:42.519-07:002011-08-29T04:39:42.519-07:00Run Riot was always one of my favs off Hysteria to...Run Riot was always one of my favs off Hysteria too.

Although it was officially released on Adrenalize, I'd like to hear "Tear It Down" at the end of the Hysteria section since it started as a B side to a single there and would end the first half on a hard rock song. My vote for the opening number of the second set would be "Rock Rock Til You Drop".Mr. Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09506952713136965621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2070576740953109526.post-17045250437209405932011-08-22T16:20:54.458-07:002011-08-22T16:20:54.458-07:00That's awesome!!

I remember getting Moving Pictures when it came out. "Tom Sawyer" barely hit the airwaves. Unbelievable! Especially "The Camera Eye". <br /><br />Came 1982, I saw Rush for the first time during the New World Tour. Saw them again in 1990 for the Presto Tour and last summer during the Time Machine Tour. Rush is definitely a band to see in concert!<br /><br />Eventually I obtained the entire Rush collection along with a dozen bootlegs...drewzepmeisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15553144737305430009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2070576740953109526.post-80254618068354417902011-08-15T10:55:13.017-07:002011-08-15T10:55:13.017-07:00The 80s were a special time, the music lives on!!The 80s were a special time, the music lives on!!Rock Brigade Bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07268160942747683574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2070576740953109526.post-55625865664590225292011-08-14T19:43:41.052-07:002011-08-14T19:43:41.052-07:00Goddamn I wish I had the chance to live in the 80&...Goddamn I wish I had the chance to live in the 80's !
