And for anyone who doesnt know / remember what a Boss BE-5 is or why it put me off pedals for life...
If I win I’m gonna get the pic of the bonni pink Santana with the tree of life inlay laminated and put it on the ceiling above my bed.
Yep they are serious fanboys, as am I. Taylor and Dave inducting them into the R&R Hall of Fame and then playing 2112 in kimonos and wigs was freaking awesome!No pics of giving him the book. I was thinking of writing a note to him in it but decided just to leave the shrink wrap on. I have hundreds of other unpublished pics though of the shows from on stage and beside/on the edge of the curtain. It's funny that you showed the video of Foo Fighters. They are huge Rush fans and showed up at many of the shows. Neil is Hawkins idol and he acts like an excited kid in the group's presence. It's funny.

Love the blah, blah, blah speech! I had to present to the whole company a few months back and that was my intro and my finale Not quite the same applause though...Most of you have heard this story before, but a few years back, a friend of mine got me backstage to see/meet Alex and Geddy...actually side stage, and on stage (pre-show, of course)...Both guys were gracious and humble and awesome, etc... But my most distinct memory is talking with Alex's tech about them having switched the tuners on his old CE-24. As I bent over to look closer, my big rump hit the Omega stand holding the Ovation Classical (Yes, THE TREES guitar!!!) It rocked back and forth on the three legs a few times, and by the time I steadied it, I was sweating like a pig in a charcoal pit in the ground!!!...had to share...saw lots of previous Rush/Foo anecdotes...Love all those guys.
oh, my original idea for a post...blah, blah, blah...blah blah blah blah...(you get the idea) (#$%^&$%^$%^&* you, Jann Wenner!!!)
Tis the wonder of the Intronet. In that case I'm in. Beats rowing a dingy across the pond.!!!
Lister, really glad you appreciate them and are in tune w Foo Fighters' admiration for them as well. Very interesting evening at Staple Center LA. I was sitting on Jack's bench about 4 feet from where Alex's tech Bucky was set up. Two guys were hanging around behind him most of the evening that I didn't recognize and then near the end the dark hair guy grabbed a guitar and did the switch instead of Bucky. I figured they were just buddies of Bucky. After the last song I left through the stage stairs through a maze of tunnels to the bus. On the way down the stairs the two fellows were walking down just ahead of me and I (being the smart ass) yelled, so you want to be a guitar tech eh! They turn around to see who the smart ass was and chuckled. About half hour later on the bus, Bucky looks at me and says, you know who those guys were you joking with Mark? I said no, who. He said they were good friends of the group. It was Grohl and Hawkins. Sorry for the long post but thought some would like it.

Your story reminded me of this clip -
If the Canadian Postal strike doesn’t interfere, I should be able to get it to you by Christmas.
I think it is for an extra toque.Are they striking for more denim or more flannel?
And a beer... in a tree?I think it is for an extra toque.
Yes, the hat is so you don’t get too cold sitting in the tree drinking your beer.And a beer... in a tree?
And a beer... in a tree?
What a hoser...
