The Studio (Audio and Art)

[Grognardsw]

I don't know. The photo was taking during the Signals "New World" tour in 1982-3, according to my "Rush - Wandering the Face of the Earth" book. I would guess it is the backstage pass badge, though looking at some pictures of those from "Rush - Album by Album" I see that they use the dog and hydrant image from the Signals album cover. So not sure.

Bluehorse's Playlists

Just something I slapped together since we are sharing this sort of thing. I am a huge fan of 70's rock, but I have really enjoyed some of the newer stuff from the past decade as well. There are also a lot of interesting groups on YouTube that are making their own stuff and cover tributes that I think are worth sharing. Hope you enjoy!

Classic Playlists:
Guns & Roses - Sweet Child of Mine: https://youtu.be/1w7OgIMMRc4
Saxon - Crusader: https://youtu.be/JPbSjmToWXY Possibly my favorite track to play during a combat
Pink Floyd - Time: https://youtu.be/F_VjVqe3KJ0 my favorite performance
Matallica - Whisky in the Jar: https://youtu.be/boanuwUMNNQ Talk about a cover! This is a drinking song dating back to I believe the early 1500s.
Motley Crue - Smokin' in the Boys Room: https://youtu.be/5oVBvxA0mm0
Motley Crue - Girls, Girls, Girls: https://youtu.be/d2XdmyBtCRQ

Modern Surprises:
Godsmack - Drum Duel: https://youtu.be/SAZgkZFi3LI I can totally see something like this for TPK later on when they hit it big
Godsmack - Drum & Bass: https://youtu.be/o8LWz7zrOEc
Godsmack - VooDoo: https://youtu.be/9SSUQxGjZZ4
My Darkest Days - Pronstar Dancing: https://youtu.be/c2Fnet0y9Ts <- Hooter Song!!!

Rob Zombie - Never Gonna Stop Me: https://youtu.be/0698sTH7mUk
Nightwish - The Phantom of the Opera: https://youtu.be/8VgLKXD-BoY I feel like this was a natural evolution of where bands like Stix, Queen, and Boston were heading.

Nightwish - While Your Lips Are Still Red: https://youtu.be/smiFk6KHr_8 Favorite Song! Tuomas Holopainen sings in this one and does a great job. Admittedly, behind the humor, this is who I mainly based Hooter on. I was upset to learn he left the bad this year, but it has a trouble past anyway. Seriously, Nightwish is a Rock and Roll Soap Opera all by itself. Would make a good movie.

[OGRE MAGE]

Wow.

Cool!

That Saxon tune is one of my favorite pieces of heavy metal ever! I started listening to metal about the same time as I started playing D&D, so that one still rings true with me every time I hear it.

I dont know all the modern stuff, so I will give them a listen as I get time.

Thanks for posting this!

[jemmus]

Nice!
You might like Moonsorrow. Finnish viking metal! It sounds a little Celtic though.

[Grognardsw]

That is quite a list! I'll have to check some of those out. Many I've never heard of. My tastes are eclectic. Some time I'll detail them.

[Bluehorse]

Somehow I missed this one... and in the spirit of Hooter... you will see why it is critical!

https://youtu.be/wbsEZzgCwmI

[jemmus]

That forces me to again post my favorite guys, Steve 'n' Seagulls. This time covering Iron Maiden. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jGAfzrdpxo

[Grognardsw]

They'd be perfect to do the soundtrack for a remake of Deliverance.

James, did you get to Kenmore Square in your recent visit to Medford?

[Grognardsw]

In honor of the tour van...

[jemmus]

They'd be perfect to do the soundtrack for a remake of Deliverance.

James, did you get to Kenmore Square in your recent visit to Medford?

I think we may have been there last year. Our daughter walked us some miles all around Medford, and we were right by Fenway Park. We went to a nice pastries and coffee place that may have been in Kenmore Square. When we were there in April we went to the Franklin Park Zoo, which was nice. But I like the New England aquarium better.

[Grognardsw]

Yeah the that place has retained its 70s aquarium aesthetics.

I came across a web site that does hilarious book cover remakes:

[jemmus]

I lawled!

[Grognardsw]

Given the band is in Providence, I thought this appropriate.

[Grognardsw]

[jemmus]

Nice. I like the orange one a lot.

[Grognardsw]

Gedalexnel talking with another time traveler?

[Grognardsw]

[jemmus]

Wow! I never saw any thoughtful reviews of Rush like that one at the time. 2112, Farewell to Kings and Hemispheres are my all-time Rush favorites.

[Grognardsw]

That was actually an ad by the record company. Also unusual to have a cerebral ad compared to the ads of the time (then and now.)

[Grognardsw]

Appropriate I thought.
