***ATTENTION MUCMAN*** Rush coolness inside

[silverpig]

I was listening to rock 101 on the way home and if you can get down to their studio by 5 pm today and convince them you are a huge rush fan, they'll give you tickets to the show, and a pass for an exclusive meet and greet with the band before the concert. I know you work near there, just thought you may want the heads up.


Note to others, please bump for Mucman as I have to leave soon.

 

[kami]

Why didn't you PM him? anyway, i just pm'ed him this thread

 

[Vic]

I'll bump this. Almost makes me wish I lived in BC so I could win

As it is I already have tickets to see them on Sun 9/15 but not backstage passes

 

[NutBucket]

Bah! Damn Canadians always get the meet & greets with their native bands.

<-- Has tickets for 9/28

 

[Mucman]

Ack! It's 4:20 do you think I can get to 101 from Port Coquitlam in rush hour? Ack!

 

[silverpig]

You should have called them... How did you do by the way? Sorry I couldn't post more info, but I just ran in the house on the way from one job to the next...

 

[Mucman]

How did I do? Umm, I didn't bother, I would have never gotten there in time. Although I think my Rush quizes could have won those tickets for me oh well... next tour

 

[silverpig]

Ah well. I should have posted that you could try calling them. I'm sure if you gave the guy a url to your quizzes he'd have given something to you.

 

[Mucman]

Ack! Oh well... no biggie, I am still going to see them I will be in the far far far back seats though.

 

[silverpig]

Ah well, have fun dude.

(I went and saw incubus on tuesday, and I'm gonna go see 54-40 in september)

 

[Mucman]

Yeah, I was at the Incubus concert too

30 seconds to Mars weren't bad either... I saved a bunch of girls who couldn't get the club off their steering wheel

 

[silverpig]

You were? Really? Floor?

I was on the floor 3 rows back in front of the bass player.

I didn't think 30 seconds to mars was very good. They totally messed up their second song (guitar and drums out of time, guy having to send his guitar offstage for tuning, having to get his transmitter taped back on). I also thought all their songs sounded the same.

Incubus rocked though. I just didn't like how when they played loud songs and everyone started moshing, that all the 17 year old girls would whine about getting pushed around a bit. I wasn't even doing that much... just standing there watching. I had one girl turn around and say: "fsck, calm down and quit pushing me." To which I responded: "Hey, in case you didn't notice, there's a few thousand people behind me that are doing the pushing. You're in the front row of a concert with a mosh pit. Get used to it."

 

[Mucman]

lol... I could tell is was a young girly crowd by the reaction to Wish you Were Here. I was high in the blues stage left... it was still ok though. I have more respect for the drummer now... he definitely got more technical in the later albums.

I caught 30s at the end of their set... Yes they didn lack some dynamics between songs, but I think they just need more experience playing live.

i also notice the Ezinger plays Mexico a lot differently than I do

 

[broon]

If they (Rush) perform as well for you as they did the night I saw them, you should be pleased regardless of where you sit. I've seen them five times now (started with the HYF tour and missed T4E) and this was the VERY best. The only thing that would have made it better would be to actually get to meet them.

 

[silverpig]

Yeah, I play Mexico differently too. I have Drive right, and I had Circles nearly perfect (he plays one chord at 15 on a drop-D tuned E string while I play that chord at 8 on the A string).
