Sometimes, we need reminding New Order rules, how were 21 at heart, and the album I was listing to when I first met Lady!

Yep!   Damn great band from the ashes, or maybe gallows is a better term, of Joy Division.   If you haven’t heard, or heard in a while, their two albums in the early 2000s, Get Ready and Sirens Call, are their best complete albums!

Calmin down from a shitty Caps and the worst MNF game ever with another track with a killer video I ain’t seen in far to long.


If there ever was a post-punk-rockabilly party song by a band from Scotland, this is IT!   Hold on. . . ‘dis ‘ere chicks a hoot!

And of course, the family that was the original rock band, and VAs own.   It’s high time the “Common RipOff”’of VA puts them on the pedestal they belong on. . . At least 81 should be named after The Carter Family (well it’s the closest major road to where they came from 🤣)

Watch this amazing rendition of the Star Spangled Banner.

Didn’t know you were fan, Mick!!👍👍 AWESOME!!
My board name makes it obvious, and yes, the “RUSH” part of “PUCKNRUSH”, DOES signify my favorite. all time, rock band! I am, of course, a HUGE follower/fan of Rush!


I’ve not only enjoyed the technically difficult challenge, over the past 43-44 years, of attempting to learn and play, nearly 75-80% of all their songs, (Believe me, those guys will keep you on your toes, as a musician),  but, like many of my fellow heavily dedicated Rush fans,  we grew up, as late teenagers, and through most of our adult life, being influenced by Neil Peart’s incredible lyrics.....IN ADDITION, to his impossible drum parts!


 Anyone over 40, most likely can remember, “that friend”, they had, that was a big Rush head!
 Yes, I’m one of those!


 Very sad day for rock music fans. Especially drummers!  I’m not quite as down as I thought I’d be, mainly because I read today that he had actually been diagnosed with brain cancer, 3 1/2 YEARS AGO!!


 That means, that he kept it from the media. It was no secret that he wanted nothing to do with the Hollywood/pop music, media machine!  He was intensely guarded about his privacy, shunning almost all media attempts for interviews about his “personal life”!  I’ve met him twice, and everybody says he comes off quite cold!  Not mean, just tries to avoid it all!


 He wrote the lyrics to the famous song, “Limelight“,  as an attempt to address the subject, of all the drummers, and fans, that wanted to personally meet him, and talk about all his meaningful songs, and such!!  Pitted against the struggle of being a public figure,  working hard to be the best at his craft,  but disliking and avoiding the natural fame that would come with it!  Here’s a few lines from the song:


“Living in a fisheye lens.
Caught in the camera eye.
I have no heart to lie.
I can’t pretend a stranger is a long awaited friend.”


(then the chorus):
“Living in the limelight, the universal dream, for those who wish to SEEM!!
THOSE who wish to BE, must put aside the alienation,
Get on with the fascination, the REAL relation, the underlying theme”.....


IMO,  what a great message!!


NEIL PEART, kept his 3 1/2 year, brain cancer diagnosis, in complete secrecy, from the superficially curious, and never-to-be-trusted, media hounds, allowing only his 2 bandmates, and two or three of his closest family members, to know about his condition. YET....


He actually died 3 days ago, on Jan. 7th. The “public” found out 72 hours later.......JUST THE WAY HE WOULD HAVE WANTED IT,  I’m sure!!👍.


 We lost of music giant today!  I’m sad for Neil Pearts family, his band mates,  Geddy and Alex, and the millions of Rush fans around the world!


 I’m both sad about his passing, but happy for Mr. Peart,  that at least in death, he received the privacy, that he had seemed to always fight so hard for!  You impacted MANY!!
Rest quietly, Professor.😔😔


(Thanks, Mick),


Rush

Nice tribute Puck!! Yea, I was Rush fan. More so of Neil then the rest. He was a master. Only got to see them once, but it was a great show!  I remember finally learning that signature drum roll (1:54 mark of the video) when I was a youngster getting my chops together.. You'd never know you could throw a Neil Peart drum roll into a Lynyrd Skynyrd song, now would you??  :uh-huh: :rofl: 


He'll be sorely missed.

Thanks Mick!
 Also didn’t know you were a drummer. Maybe I just wasn’t paying enough attention, if you’ve ever mentioned in prior posts.
I know exactly the riff you’re talking about in that vid!!  I never really thought that he actually circulated human blood in his veins! LOL!
 I just figured underneath his skin were thousands of miles of electrical wires connected to a central master metronome, and computer!  The man just wasn’t human!
At least we’ve got the recordings and the memories!  I’ll never forget them!👍

LMFAO!!🤣
Same thing here, brother!


Then after A LOT of drugs and NEVER knowing how to pick a good girl, (20+ frickin years),  for whatever reason,  The negative shit got a old, and finally came to a stop!


 I got back on the drums about 15 years ago! And I had a great way to stay motivated and keep practicing,
I would just tape a little photo of some of these worthless bitches, (not that I was any better at the time, LOL!), in the upper part of the heads on my toms!


 Oh I would beat the shit out of those DW drums for HOURS!!🤣😂🤪🤪


 Great freaking therapy!!!  I highly recommend it !!🤣😂
