Dick Allen Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 QUOTE(max power @ Apr 13, 2007 -> 06:05 AM) That dude sings like a wemun. Leave Geddy alone. He actually isn't nearly as high-pitched as he used to be, but he can still get up there on occassion. A lot of Rush cover bands do have female singers though.

max power Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 I have a lot of respect for RUSH's talent but I don't like their music almost entirely because of his voice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2HH Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 (edited) Rush is and has been my favorite band for at least a decade. They aren't for everyone, that's for sure, and there is no need to put people down who don't like them, just as there is no need to put people down who do like them. For some, no explanation is necessary, for others, no explantion will do. The new Rush album "Snakes & Arrows" will be out this May, and they arrive in Chicago (Tweeter Center) on Sept 8th, where I will be front frow. I'm happy they went back to their progressive roots with the new album, as their newer albums (Echo and beyond) were a tad too "new Rush" for me... Long live Rush!

Meh, until they do an extended live The Necromancer I'm unimpressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 I have tons of albums but was never a big Rush fan but I still have Permanent Waves and a picture disc of Hemispheres with an autograph that says "rock on Sky Daniel (old Chicago DJ I think ). I'm pretty sure it was one of my brothers albums that I confiscated when I moved to California many moons ago. May have gotten it at a WLS booth at one of the 1st Chicagofests though that is a guess.

FlaSoxxJim Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Sky Daniels was a Loop DJ from 1979 until the mid-1980s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightni Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 QUOTE(drive like jehu @ Apr 13, 2007 -> 11:40 AM) Wow, a lot of Reinsdorf kool-aid has been consumed in the past two decades. THE Comiskey Park is and always be the Baseball Palace. Nothing will ever compare to it. I beg to differ. I was in the old park in the eighties. It needed to be replaced.

If you think it needed to be replaced in the 80s, you should have seen it in the 70s. Really run down. I have a coffee table book of the park from 1977. Reinsdorf should have had this book when he was angling for a newpark. Its quite evident that he and his group threw a lot of money into old Comiskey. But it was a great place to watch a game.

LVSoxFan Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 I love the Old Comiskey with a passion but yes, it was time for a new park. Can't complain about the new one, love that too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 Old Comiskey was a sad tired relic of graffiti and trash. Totally unfriendly to families and the neighborhood was in need of improving. USCF is clean, nice, updated, friendly and the area is a lot safer than it used to be. I wouldn't call Old Comiskey a sad tired relic of graffiti and trash. That's the team's fault if it didn't keep the place in better shape. Trash is trash wherever it's thrown. The neighborhood was bad. You are correct. In fact you had to pay kids hovering in the lots to "watch" your car or you'd come out with 4 flat tires. Just like some are saying if you have a good seat in the Cell it's great ... if you had a good seat in Old Comiskey it was amazing. My dad had 4 season tickets in about the fifth row just to the left of the screen and I took my friends to all games he didn't want to go to with his downtown coworkers. We went to a lot of games and nightly I was amazed at how we were right on the action. I'll never forget the sound of bat on ball at that old park. I need to move back to chicago and see more games at the Cell. It sounds like it's getting more lovable every year. I hope so. I would hope those who disparage Old Comiskey also think Wrigley is a total dump, cause Wrigley still is standing. Is it also a sad relic of graffiti and trash? if not it's only because the team keeps fixing it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
