Ye olde poste of trivial information!

Taped Rush and some of the Rolling Stones from the SARStock DVD preview Saturday. They showed some of the “special features”, including a backstage interview with Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson [which lasted all of ten seconds, but cool nonetheless, because it’s Rush

Seems to be the releasing from the old not-sending-comments burp the ones that got stuck... now there's another burrrrrrrrrrrrrrppppp going on. XD

[sasja_sokolov]

Yeah, they're all the comments that didn't send for some reason. It's a tad annoying, though.

[maldeluxx]

Hehe, at first I thought I was seeing Alex in those photos. *blushes* XD

[sasja_sokolov]

Haha, no, Alex was never that scrawny. Although he's cute too. ;)

[enigma00]

I LOVE that song. And that album. It's so very...English.

[sasja_sokolov]

Indeed it is. :) The lyrics are excellent, too.

[enigma00]

Absolutely.

[maroonsheets]

Yeah, I went to status.livejournal.com and they told me that they're working on the email server or something. So all is well.

[sasja_sokolov]

I just hope they aren't going to do this again later...

[peartnoy]

Yeah I got a ton of emails for ancient replys.

In any case hooray for Cheap Trick, speaking of which I was listening to Cheap Trick: Live At Budokan last night. That's a great one.

[sasja_sokolov]

Funny thing is, I had replied to most of mine already anyway... how about you?

Yeah, they *are* good live. They opened for Aerosmith up here, but due to lack of funds I couldn't go. :(

[peartnoy]

Yeah I had replied to most of mine as well, stange.

Yes they are great live. I was going to go see them open for Aerosmith as well, but unfortunately it was a week after I saw Rush so I didn't have the money to go either, alas.

[sasja_sokolov]

Not having money sucks. :(

[holdyerfire]

Ooh wow I keep forgetting about one of my very few "conventionally attractive" rock star crushes!

Ooh so there IS a full 10 seconds of Ged and Al on the extra features of the SARStock DVD? I didn't even bother watching that cuz I just had a feeling they wouldn't be featured...now I must sift through Justin Timberlake to look...

LOL that was such an awesome concert...it was such a fucked-up mix of bands and artists, but it was sooooo cool!! Freakin' Justin Timberlake, Rush and AC/DC all on the same bill. They'd never be ballsy enough to do ANYTHING like that in America.

[sasja_sokolov]

Yep, some interviewer guy asked them about how they felt playing in Toronto and their opinions on the Stones. They approve of both... well, Geddy does, anyway. Alex didn't talk much. :/

Yeah, I know! You kind of wonder what the hell they were thinking, with the fact that Rush, AC/DC, the Rolling Stones, etc. are not bands most Justin Timberlake fans like, and vice versa. Even poppier bands like Blue Rodeo have more in common with most of the playlist. [I kind of felt sorry for Justin, actually, not getting paid for playing there and still getting booed. Someone even threw a water bottle at him.] So you got the DVD? How many Rush songs made it on there?

[holdyerfire]

Ok I went home and watched it this afternoon...the singer from the Guess Who, who oddly enough looks like my old high school band director...anyway, was shown walking around backstage with a big can of some beer in a silver can and told Alex how "fucking awesome" they were. Alex didn't look too pleased. He didn't look like he was in a good mood that show...but I dunno. He had a cigarette behind his ear and that got me all excited. Geddy said something about how cool and genuine all the bands were but I was too busy looking at his arms to really listen to what he was saying. ;)

I actually was surprised at Justin's performance...I don't even acknowledge that stuff at all, but he actually did really, really good. His solo stuff reminds me of old-school Stevie Wonder or something. :D
Nothing groundbreaking or awesome enough to send me flying into Justin Timberlake fanland, though...ew...the thought!

[sasja_sokolov]

Geddy said something about how cool and genuine all the bands were but I was too busy looking at his arms to really listen to what he was saying. ;)

Haha, I have that problem too- I can barely remember what he said in the "interview" parts of RiR because of the pretty way his hair falls [not to mention the glasses]. And his shirt; I loved the shirt. Red and black is a hot combination. ;)

I liked Justin's thing with the Rolling Stones better than his own stuff, personally... although for a former boy band guy, he's a decent live performer. Indeed, his fanland is a scary place- if you ever happen upon a JT message board, you'll know what I mean. *shudder*
