I don't need your dirty love !!! Thunder have a box set coming out at the moment, I believe. I also recently bought a best of and remastered versions of the first three CDs with bonus tracks. I also have all their DVDs. I was pretty upset to not get to see them before they split up.
BTW, Bad Medicine did not play for me. My favourite Tesla song is still Modern Day Cowboy. They were incredible live at Rocklahoma a few years ago.
I saw Cinderella live, once. Too bad he's blown his voice out, he can barely sing, now.

I'm running a long list here, building up to the tracks that I love the most. I'm not giving people the best yet; I'm giving them good tracks to get them interested in buying the CDs/download the MP3s.
Tesla are seriously, seriously underrated. They absolutely rule when you see them live, and they have a great crossover glam/blues sound going on which is hard to match.

The award-winning documentary Rush: Beyond The Lighted Stage[^] is coming to cinemas across the UK for one night only on Monday, June 7 (also showing in North America).
About The Film
Rush are one of rock’s most influential bands, ranked third for most gold and platinum albums behind The Beatles and Rolling Stones. Featuring never-before-seen archival footage and interviews with some of today’s most respected rock artists, Rush: Beyond The Lighted Stage explores the 40-year career and phenomenon behind what could be the world’s biggest cult band. The film is directed by Scot McFadyen and Sam Dunn (the pair behind the award winning Metal: A Headbangers Journey and Iron Maiden: Flight 666).

I shall be there, at the Metro Centre in Gateshead. Funnily enough, I was just about to post about this.

What cinema is there now? Last time I was there it was closed (it was either shifting about somewhere else or just plain going)

It moved earlier this year. It's where the rollercoaster used to be now (and it's massive) - it's a proper imax now.

Meh. Influential to who ? I don't mind rush, but this is hyperbole.
That's what Sam Dunn has been doing ? I saw him onstage filming at Rocklahoma a year ago, perhaps he has more than one film going at once. I loved Headbangers Journing, and of course Flight 666 ( which I am actually in ).

Dream Theater. Metallica. Foo Fighters. Me (I owe a lot of my chord voicings to Alex Lifeson). All avowed Rush fans.

I've never heard anyone in the Foo Fighters give any props to Rush, but, OK. How does that make them more influential than, say, Metallica, AC/DC or Iron Maiden ?

I thought it said one of, not the most. I doubt it makes them any more influential, but you picked a hell of a list there.

The original hype was putting the just behind the beatles and the stones ( on one metric, I know ). I think they matter a lot, but not that much.

They are hardly going to advertise it as "This band is technically really amazing, but you've probably never listened to any of their stuff, and you may think the singer's a bit high pitched."

No, but it would be closer to the truth. :P

They're one of my favourite bands but I agree it's hyperbole. They're influential but I wouldn't say they're that influential. But hey it's a Rush site so they've got to sell themselves, especially as typically they tend to have a near non-existent profile especially in mainstream media.

"Lighted stage"?
Look, they're a rock band, not Shakespeare. It's "lit".

So, my son wants his own notebook. I am thinking of a HP netbook, with an Atom processor, a gig of RAM, etc. It has no CD drive. He basically browses the web, but he is also getting a cheap video camera and wants to make his own videos. I expect it would be slow, but would it be physically possible for him to merge video clips using Windows 7 starter edition on a netbook ?

I think you should just give him your iPad and your Telstra account and see what happens ...

ROTFL !!! An iPad costs too much and does not run flash. He is indeed browsing on a Telstra account.
