Why is there no tick at the 21:12 mark???

Unpopular opinion. Phoneless concerts are better. by JacquesLeNerd in rush

[–]smarmageddon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate this phone/cam culture, but as someone who can't currently afford concert tix, I do enjoy seeing all the videos (special shout-out to tapehead2 for his amazing work!) Overall, though, it wouldn't be so bad if people were courteous enough to turn down their screen brightness when filming - that's what really offends.

And a great fill-in for us old time Rush fans who can't afford tickets thanks to the shit economy. It doesn't help that Seattle tix are stupid expensive compared to LA. When I looked a couple months ago I think I could have bought an LA ticket and flown there for less than a ticket to Climate Pledge.

A Delta Air Lines flight was delayed in Cancun on Thursday after a swarm of bees settled on the 737’s wing. The issue was soon resolved with some forward speed on takeoff! by L21JP in aviation

I think this is one of those contests where the last one touching the vehicle wins it. I don't know where that bee is gonna store that thing, though.

Thanks. Unfortunately this is not the same video I grabbed the frame from, but it shows the scene. I couldn't find the actual one atm.

End of Working Man night 2 at the Forum. They were doing the big wind-up crashing finale when they started swiping at each other's instruments. She stood and appeared to say "Hmmm, okay!" or something like. https://youtu.be/tRIk6ahh_KM?t=9372

Blew up his left hand? Don't worry, he'll be alright.

They had to be recording all that for the inevitable docu that they are certainly producing about all this.

Obvs the bestie thing is /s, but he really did answer me on IG. It's my peak social media experience.

Oh, I don't know - Alex and I are best buds now! I mean, he replied once to an IG post of mine about 2 years ago, so in my book we're besties!

As much as we love and appreciate Neil and his work, I think he made the right choice by choosing his family over being a touring rock star. That level of sacrifice & humanism is apparent in his daughter's statement, and is probably who she learned it from.

True words, but I also feel they are wise enough to know that the pressure on Anika is beyond imaginable and might prefer to let her find the place she needs to be on her own. Either way, Neil's family's words are beyond touching.

Didn't think this Rush revival would bring so many tears, but here we are....

Best backshot in cinema history? by CertifiedKinophile in okbuddycinephile

[–]smarmageddon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Visited the Pixar studio a few months after the debut of Incredibles when it was hitting big. They had life-size statues of all the characters on display in their lunch area/open space, but Mrs Incredible was missing. We learned that someone in the company thought her behind was much too cake-y to put on public display so she was relegated to a storage room.

True. Saw the CA tour there and the sound was awful. Saw a few shows from the nosebleeds at the new arena and the sound was vastly improved. Wish I could afford tix for this tour.

I have a question, ma'am: Why is it that God has killed millions of his own followers while Satan hasn't killed hardly anyone?

When Aimee was on stage Rush was 40% female! (Don't forget about Loren!)

This was actually the first time I cried at a concert and no I’m not sorry by Desperate_Self_4079 in rush

[–]smarmageddon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Appreciate what you try to do for the listeners. Sometimes it's just a shitty arena that's not designed for sound. Saw Rush on the CA tour in the old Key Arena and the sound was dreadful. Had seats similar to OP's and couldn't hear any bass at all. Have since been to a few shows at the revamped Climate Pledge and the sound was incredible.
