	Geez, who pissed in your Cheerios this morning?  :-)

	Just because Queensryche has eclipsed Rush as the premiere "thinking-

I believe not. As I recall Ged says ``This is `The Spirit of Radio'''.
I wouldn't doubt that he _might_ mess it up, though. My favorite so
far is ``This is Mr. Alex Lifeson on the thing... the thing... this
is La Villa Strangiato'' (from a boot). He just couldn't recall the
words ``acoustic guitar''! Pretty funny...

	I'm definitely not a great guitarist, I've been playing only for
3 years, but I've got a pretty good ear, and for the most part, Alex's
'unusual chords' are pretty few and far between.  Don't get me wrong, he
does some incredible solo work, but most of the stuff he writes is basically
similar within the time period it was made.  Anybody understand?

	Listen to Limelight and Spirit of the Radio...these two songs (and
another I can't think of right now) all share the same chord structure.  This
is true through many of the songs, this chord structure, and I have nicknamed
it (months ago) the 'Rush progression' as a joke.  Don't misunderstand, I
worship the boys, just don't think that the guitar work is quite as complex
as people make it out to be.  The first rule of playing guitar is figuring
out how you want it to sound, and then thinking of the simplest possible way
to play it.

	A compound meter is one that is made up of more than one time
sig, like 3/4+4/4+6/8, etc.  The concept of a triplet has nothing to do with
the meter.  A triplet is the idea of fitting 3 beats within a single beat.
For example, a quarter note can be divided into 2 eighth notes each having
half the duration of the quarter note.  But, if I want to fit 3 eighth notes
in the space of 2 (or 1 quater note) I write a 'triplet'.  That is, now
instead of of the single quarter note beat, Ta, being two eighth notes, Ta-Ta,
it is now Ta-Ta-Ta; 3 eighth notes each with the duration of 1/3 of a quarter
note.  Note, that the first 'Ta' is the down-beat, so if you sing these make
sure you sing the first note on the beat when your hand hits the table and
the other beats on the up-beat, when you hand is off the table.
This is irrelevant of time signature.

Date: 29 Jul 92 22:58:38 GMT
Organization: Boston University, Boston, MA, USA


   
In response to the inquiry on how Neil got into the band:

   The story of how Neil got into the band is given in the biography
of Rush entitled _Visions_. But here's a brief synopsis:
  Rutsey left the band a few days before they were to go on tour, so
Alex and Geddy were desperate for a drummer.  They set up auditions
and a common friend told Alex and Geddy about some guy he knew
that played the drums.  On this recommendation, they set up an
audition for him alone on the 2nd day.  Alex remembers that Neil               
looked kinda funny since he had packed all his drums in
old garbage cans.... Anyway, after jamming on what was to become Anthem,
Geddy knew right then and there that this kid (Neil "the Professor" Peart)
was just too good to let go.  Neil, however, thought the audition was
a complete disaster.  But after playing, Geddy and Neil hit it off really 
great talking together..... and the rest is history.

The `stuff after Moving Pictures' is at least as good as the stuff
before Moving Pictures. No other band could produce a Grace Under

     Finally, a thread other than "why Queensryche rules and Rush sucks"
or vice-versa.  Other than Rush, my favorite groups mostly include other
"older" bands that formed in the 60's/70's and also, interestingly enough,
are nearly all British (noticed that just now, kind of strange, isn't it?).
The top three would have to be Jethro Tull, Pink Floyd and Led Zep.  I 
can't really put those in any order, for they are equally incredible, in
my mind.  As an aside, I hate to admit it, but *shudder* I like BOTH Rush
and Queensryche.  And I thought it was impossible...

If I have to pick three other artists, they would be:

    1) Anton Bruckner (late 19th century Austrian Composer)
    2) Bela Fleck and the Fleck tones (you MUST see their bassist)
    3) tie between Led Zep and Peter Gabriel

Strange list, but hey that's me
