Next year. Do you just make stuff up? They were changed a few years ago in the opposite direction because people started gossiping about Bruce’s ex who died.

Don’t you mean soft drinks? No lol, but a long time ago I watched a rerun of Emergency with my grandpa where some idiot filled a car ferry’s diesel tank with gasoline, and ever since then I have been paranoid about never making that mistake myself lmao.

Who was waiting for it?

When you say “gas” it depends on the context. If you’re talking about it in the context of the vehicle, then it’s short for “gasoline” (petrol). If you’re talking about it in the terms of cooking and heating, then it’s natural gas. Sorta like how we also differentiate with context between pepper...

No it was gas

Just got gas last night and it’s a fucking crime

With Rush on hiatus for a years after Test for Echo, I figured now would be a good time to check out the two solo albums that Alex and Geddy did around this time. Alex Lifeson Victor (1996) 1. Don’t Care - An alt-tinged, groovy slammer comes storming right out of the gates. Alex’s playing is...

y'all are depressing. i just wanna kiss my fish

Hope they get inducted and Bruce goes with Dennis Stratton. Dennis does a big speech about how honored he is and everyone claps and then Bruce goes on stage and yells IF YOU THOUGHT THE ROCK FUCKING HALL IS FUCKING COOL TAKE A FUCKING LOOK AT US YOU MOTHERFUCKERS YOU LAME FUCKS, throws a chair...

Wish you the best, man. Sounds fuckin rough. :(

“Limelight” and “Marathon” almost made the cut.

Rush Test for Echo (1996) 1. Test for Echo - Here we go… A lush intro chorus sets the stage before the song gains a pair of legs and begins a bit of a sprint. We modulate between heavier, more action-focused sections and slower, cautious ones. The guitar layers sound really good on headphones...

Tough to do, but I think that this is a pretty decent Top 10: 10. Megadeth, "Tornado of Souls" (Marty Friedman) - The most iconic metal guitar solo and a teenage fave of mine. 9. Iron Maiden, "Alexander the Great" (Dave Murray) - Two gorgeous melodic solos back to back, and a rare case where...

Tried to do a top 5; turned into a top 6: 6. Jukka Nevalainen - Not a flashy drummer at all, but I love how well every drum part he played fit so perfectly into the Nightwish sound. Super underrated as your straightforward drummer playing towards the overall song; I miss him a lot. 5. Danny...
