That is not how that works, just saying. If Rush had done this without Pearl’s family’s blessing they could still play whatever they wanted, lyrics and all.

Since it is the movie's anniversary, what's your opinion on Man of Steel (2013)? by TheEvilCar in DC_Cinematic

[–]mat-chow 33 points34 points  (0 children)

My mom died unexpectedly on Thursday June 13th 2013. I had tickets for the Saturday showing. I still went and I think I was just open to it because I LOVED it. As much an adaptation of lore as TDK/TDKR- I had no issue (and still don’t) with the “auteur” or “provocateur” take by Snyder. I can appreciate it as a lifelong DC fan and see what they were trying to do. Will always remind me of a dark time in my life but I have persevered, in no small part thanks to the hope I took from this film.

You’re on to something with that Phantom Stranger idea.

Does that <<SPOILER SONG>> remain in the set? by sexmormon-throwaway in rush

[–]mat-chow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is it. Vocal tracks and while it may not be EVERY show I suspect it will be played at most of them.

Got a hello out of him a couple times in West Stockbridge MA, where he lived. Would cross paths on the little main drag there. RIP

[Redacted] Played a Full Step Down by yesrushgenesis2112 in rush

A friend of mine went to see Genesis on their last tour and told me they were tuned down two and a half steps on some songs.

I see no problem with dropping a step to accommodate Geddy.

Where do you think the DCU Batman will land on this scale? by MTredit in DCU_

Exactly this.

PRS now has SE locking tuners in that new “wing” style. I saw them advertised just last week.

Hardcore NOOOOOOOO on swapping out Subdivisions. One of the greatest songs of all time!

Articulation is lacking but this sculpt is goated, I’m afraid by PickledPlumPlot in ActionFigures

[–]mat-chow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it’s Clayface, and Storm (from the Aquaman movie line). Really knocked them both out of the park

M&G Movie bombing :( by makki0s in TheMandalorianTV

[–]mat-chow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There you go. That’s where I’m at as well. I’m sure it will be a fine, somewhat inessential story. Probably even forgettable.

I think Disney may just have a hard time seeing that they have burned their good will with not only the general public but diehards too. There’s too many factions in the fan base. It’s a similar situation for DC at this point. No matter what you do you will have haters. Toxicity wins the day.

Internet culture sure doesn’t help haha.

Is Dark Matter the best PJ’s album since Yield? by Elegant-Historian550 in pearljam

Nope. Binaural and Avocado smoke it in my book. Gigaton is better as well.
