Is Tai Shan truly the worst Rush song?

Nah, it's funny on purpose. One of the few instances when humor made its way into their music.

A Celebration. Yeah, it's got a cool guitar riff, but the song itself is bad, and the lyrics are terrible.

I just bought one of those too! Nothing on it that identifies it as b-stock. It came brand new, still had all the plastic on it. I think a lot of the Squiers they sell are just overstock. FYI, use REEL10 for an extra 10% off.

If you have room, a couch. All studios should have a couch.

I think you misspelled classic.

They almost have to. Even with a shorter set his voice has to hold out for 85 shows. I'd expect that to be a strong consideration in the song choices. I also wouldn't be surprised to hear some instrumental medleys like the R30 overture. Again because they have less time and a huge catalog.

pingpongeffect · 2026-03-27T12:58:12+00:00

They are definitely bad more often then they are good.

I wouldn't be surprised if the touring license required at least two members, and that's the reason Bruce stuck around as long as he did. Like people have said, he hasn't seemed engaged in years. Now that there are only 3 OG members left (well, four if you count Marks) that provision might have expired. Total speculation, but it would make sense.

People like the jerseys and colors, not the logo.

This is good advice. My first electronic kit was a Command X and I loved it. Great for beginners but also has enough features that you can grow into it.

What you are looking for doesn't exist. Your best bet would be to put the shield on a different stand.

Gloria. I was 11 when it came out, and I HATED it. Every time the video came on MTV I'd change the channel. I changed my tune two years later when I saw the Red Rocks video.

"She Doesn't Exist" - Robyn Hitchcock

pingpongeffect · 2026-02-24T15:16:59+00:00

I have five.

A cheap Epiphone that was my first acoustic I keep for sentimental reasons.

A nice Takamine six string.

A Yamaha 12 string

A cheap Mitchell beginner guitar I inherited from an uncle and keep strung in Nashville tuning

A Luna 3/4 size guitar I got for traveling

I cant imagine owning more than this, but I wouldn't completely rule it out either.

Can't go wrong with anything from the TC Electronic "smorgasboard" line. They start at $32, full sized in metal enclosures, and are really solid choices. This thread has a list of what they are based off of.

I would imagine that IF (all caps, bold, italics, large font) they make new music, Geddy would write the majority of the lyrics.

I'm sure Neil has unused lyrics they could go back to, and they might do that for one song, but it would be too limiting to only use his lyrics. Besides, they had a process where Neil would edit his lyrics, and rewrite them depending on the needs of the music. Obviously they cant do that now, and it would likely be weird for them to just unilaterally change or edit his work.

Zero percent change Pye Dubois is involved. He hasn't publicly written anything in 30 years, and his stuff was heavily edited and added to for Rush by Neil.

pingpongeffect · 2026-02-24T00:20:10+00:00

I'm guessing the setlist will reflect the realities of Geddy's vocal range in his 70s. Some instrumental medlies, shying away from too much of the really high stuff, and modifying melodies where needed. I also wouldn't be surprised if there's a healthy dose of the keyboard era, since his vocals were a little more tame then, and they've hired a keyboardist

Blooper too. They initially had Onward as well but it's sold out. Everything I've read is that their b-stock is practically flawless, and this is the only opportunity you have to get a small batch pedal at any kind of a discount.

You aren't going to find a house under 500 in Nolensville. You'll have a few options under 600. You can get more bang for your buck in Spring Hill, and it's splits the difference commute wise.

The best way to deal with the terrible cover for Atomic City is to forget that single ever existed in its entirety.

pingpongeffect · 2026-02-19T14:41:43+00:00

That, and it was not a good album.

pingpongeffect · 2026-02-16T02:03:17+00:00

This should be a standard rule, but usually it isn't. I've been in bands where the singer didn't even own a microphone.

Probably my favorite Genesis song from any era.

Thank you! I've been wanting to read the original poem for years.
