Well I just put the Axioms and the Yamie to a mind blowing test- ant I doubt it really tested any thing but my ears

I creeped the volume up to +2 (I don’t understand the system yet)


Man the axioms did nothing but deliver

The QS8s in back held Gettis Bass like it was a fine honed blade- sharp, tight and thick.

I couldn’t believe the 8s in back could deliver what they did.

As for the front on the 22’s and the 150 center it was like a front row seat at loud concert-

BTW the Yamie didn’t seem to mind at all.

I have bo idea how much farther I could push this- I would wager it can exceed what is humanly tolerable

It was that loud at +2 and no sign of fatigue!!!

Amzaing on both the speakers and the receiver

And oh- La Villa Stangiato by Rush is no slouch

Did you listen to the live version or the album version? either way, great track!

+2? Are your ears bleeding? I put my system up to -15 and already get the "look" from the wife... Dog gets spooked too...

seriously- I had a pmiple in my ear- hahaha

yeah- man +2 was insane!

my family didn't like it too much either

but you goota have deafening fun once-- I don't think i can take more testing like that

LOL

you know I never have been hip to live anyone

the studio just has that quality

even thoguh i realize the live is a lot funner!


and man- Older Rush of any kind is badd ASS!!!!!!!!

this was the first time in a long long time i listened to music and played not only air guitar and BASS-- but air drums....my wife thinks i'm beyond crazy!!

but how can you not dig Neal Peart on any thing?

or Getti

Or alex


it's all perfection.

but i was so lost in neals rythems...increadible

Geddy!

We're not worthy!!!

*bows to The Man*

Awesome freaken drummer to say the least. The guy has been through a lot in his life also and it's nice to see him still plugging along!

This from their current tour? Looks pretty familiar to me!

and he has how many arms and legs?

i swear i hear 5 or 6 or 7 rythems sometimes

Neal is just in some insane zone to "NOT" control his body and let it be so fluid

amazing

That guy must suck. I mean look at how tiny his bass drum is....

This is the set he is currently using............................

Neil Peart's second book, "Ghost Rider," is an extraordinary document that details an incredibly painful time in his life and the recovery process that followed. In August 1997 Neil and then-wife Jackie Taylor lost their daughter Selena in a one-car traffic accident. Disconsolate, Jackie fell into a deep depression and was diagnosed with terminal cancer, dying some ten months later. (Peart attributes her death to a broken heart, and who's to argue?) Peart documents these events early on in "Ghost Rider", sparing details but leaving no doubt as to the effect these events had on his life. Shortly after Jackie's death Peart, feeling he had little to lose, saddled up his BMW motorcycle and went on a soul-searching journey that covered some 28,000 miles, from Inuvik in the Northwest Territories to Mexico. He had doubts that this journey would help him to recover from those tragic events, but at that point he knew he had to do something. For Peart, motion was the key - just keep moving. Peart chronicles this journey, as well as other journeys that take him from Canada's Maritime Provinces to Los Angeles, mainly through a series of letters written to family and friends, especially with his best friend, at the time in jail for marijuana possession.

Was this not the ultimate thread highjack or what!

nice to see a bio that is unfortunatley "human"

and of course everyone knows about his own issue with bone marrow cancer or something like that.

thankfully he is still doing his thing.

and I have many friend (from my Party days) who were drummers ...

ok they were frustrated drummers...trying to pay tribute to Neil

one that I know of did make it into a "REAL" band for a while: Pontius Pilate

he was the best drummer i ever knew

I never heard any of their stuff- i must be getting old- for the hardcore scene

Rush will keep me going for along time to come
