He needs to use the cast like Cowboy Bob Orton did.

Pretty cool, I must admit. Not sure it's worth 225 bucks though...
$210 on Amazon.

I saw very little of the game, but how many of those Bengal penalties nullified long gains, key third down conversions or scoring plays? To me the lack of calls against the Pats* is often overshadowed by the timing of when the refs choose to make calls against the other team.

I'm shocked at this news!

You misunderstand. I mean it's top 6 all time for me:
1. 2112
2. Moving Pics
3. Hemispheres
4. Permanant Waves
5. A Farewell To Kings
6. Clockwork Angels
I knew what you meant. I only ranked them post-RTB because that's when Gugny said he stopped listening to new Rush. Clockwork Angels is also in my top 5-6 of all time.
For those still playing along, Clockwork Angels BluRay comes out November 19th!Already pre-ordered!

Ok. I listened to the whole album all the way through last night, something which I could never do with the original since it was so hard to listen to I'd get a headache after a few songs. This is like a brand new Rush album, parts of songs that were buried by the original ****ty production have come to life. Song wise this was always some of their best material, but now that you can actually hear all the distinct instruments instead of a wall of noise this becomes a top 5 Rush album for me. Great stuff.
The first 3 tracks on Test for Echo are very good. Limbo & Resist are good. Rest of it... not so much. Rarely does Rush put out an album with that much filler. Before this remix I'd probably have swapped Snakes & Arrows and Vapor Trails on that list. The funny thing is that I've listened to all 6 of these in the last 3 or 4 days.
Dog Years and Virtuality alone ruin the album for me. Rush really mailed it in on that album.

If I might pose a serious question concerning the seemingly epidemic number of cases of females teachers molesting teen male students: Do you think it directly corresponds to the fact that women are viewing pornography at a much higher frequency than previous generations due to the internet?
Not moralizing, just wondering why there is this great spike now.
The existence of social media and texting gives authorities something to go on.

Try the latest one, Clockwork Angels. I am like you mostly, as you pretty much described me to a Tee with your post. However, I have to say that CA is probably top 6 all time favorite Rush albums. It's THAT good...
Yes. Post Roll The Bones I'd rank the albums:
Clockwork Angels
Counterparts
Vapor Trails
Feedback
Snakes and Arrows
Test For Echo.

Can't listen to the stream at work, but I just got the email from Amazon that my CD has been shipped to arrive on Monday. This has been a long time coming, these songs were ruined originally by the brick walled production.

Be it rock, country, rap or any other genre, I'm not a fan of any of it when it's contrived and neatly packaged and targeted towards the masses. Popular country music today fits this description ten fold. The fast food of music.

I don't go to games, partly because of the drunks who act like complete idiot, and partly because it's cheaper and easier (and better in my mind) to watch the games on TV in the comfort and safety of my own home. Technology has made it easy to avoid the crowd scene, which is littered with drunken morons who have no idea what is happening in the game. Disgusting behavior that somehow, they are proud of.
This I pretty much agree with.
I find tailgating to be completely overrated.
And this is borderline sacrilegeous.
-
That's why I stopped sitting in gen pop. The peasants are revolting - they stink on ice.
Yes, as much as you miss the genuine Ralph experience by sitting in the club seats, unfortunately part of that genuine experience these days is sitting with a ever increasing population of out of control drunk a-holes.
-
Again, do you think that there are now 15,000 less fans in the stadium have something to do with that?
Yes, I've already said that it does, but to have another 10,000 sit on their hands the whole game certainly isn't helping one bit.
-
I'd settle for him stopping make us pay for taking him 3rd.

Guys, I'm not extrapolating the club seats to the whole crowd. I fully realize the atmosphere in the regular seats is the polar opposite of what I got in the club. I'm saying that because there are such wide swaths of the stadium that are disengaged that there is no way the Ralph can ever be as loud as it once was. If some of you feel that Sunday was as loud as the Super Bowl years then you're either too young to remember or you're so old that you've forgotten. It just isn't.
-
maybe, but isn't that like playing virtual golf in the clubhouse when you're a member of oak hill? just can't understand that. what's the point of going to the game at all?
I asked that very question to many of the fans around me. Blank stares.
-
That's awesome, you should be proud of them. I'd love to do that too one day.
-
one game in and he is already writing negative ?
as far as crowd noise goes, there is significantly less noise than years ago. the primary reason for that is the so called "dugout" suites which took many of the very top rows of the lower bowl.
seating capacity 80,020 (original) and now 73,079 (current).
and of that current number, many more are noise insulated inside suites instead of the louder outdoor fans.
You're right, that certainly plays a big part in it.
-
If the good play continues, it will build. Looked pretty rockin' on the replay I watched. Beautiful day.
Yes it was, and 1/3 of the club seat holders sat inside and watched on TV.
-
The club seats are not where the hardcore fans tend to go so you cannot make a statement about the 12th man where you were.
Watch a replay on TV where they show the people not in the club seats and see if you want to make that same statement.
That's the point though, the place can never be as loud as it once was because of those apathetic fans. I don't care if the Bills have a 12-4 season, the fans in the club seats will always be mostly sitting on their hands. I'm not suggesting that they stand up the whole game and lose their voices either, but in the 4th quarter in a tight game, show some frigging enthusiasm and help out the defense. Collectively, compared to how that place used to be, the 12th man is dead.

This is an absolutely ridiculous comment. The Ralph was loud and it was rocking. The fans were outstanding. When EJ was waving his hands to pump up the crowd it was because he was trying to lead his team, and the fans responded loudly to his gestures with a chant of "EJ" reverberating throughout the stadium. I agree with GG's comments about the atmosphere in the stadium, it was great.
The best way to counteract the constant media negativity that permeates this franchise is to start winning. W's cure all, and until that happens you can expect more of the same.
RTB
You didn't sit where I was. The fans were sitting quietly in their seats when the defense needed them most. The place simply isn't as loud as it once was. How many false starts do you see from opposing teams compared to the old days?
-
He's right about the lack of passion in the fans. I sat in the Kelly club and 90% of the fans sat on their hands in the 4th quarter. The 12th man, for the reasons it went up on the wall in the first place, is dead.

Everyone Walt loves is killed or hurt, the money stays buried, and Walt dies from the lung cancer anyway.

Amazon Germany has 30 second samples up of the remix.
leave replacements out of hall of fame (reinduct rush if you have to)

All the same arguments many die hard Rush fans (myself included) used as to why Rush should snub the Hall once they got in. In the end when Geddy Lee was asked about the possibility of snubbing the Hall his response was "That's not a very gracious way to respond to an honor".....and he's right. If the Replacements get in, they will attend and be inducted by a band or someone that they respect, play in the jam and enjoy the experience.
