Even though I know Pilot essentially IS the Alan Parsons Project, I didn't know the former ever played the latter's songs under the former's name. Thanks for posting!
I know I'm probably the last open fan of the organization these days, but is anyone else also intending to go to the NWA Crockett Cup in Winston-Salem? Would love to meet any fellow pub denizens before the shows.
Oh definitely on that song. I'd say there are elements of 2112 through Hemispheres in that song, primarily. The whole album runs the gamat of Rush-isms. Even detected a bit of Presto in a vocal line on The Shadow. Led Zeppelin and Greta Van Fleet are also influences on other songs. On an earlier...
Behold...a band that is borderline mainstream, a power DUO, and unashamedly self identifying as progressive rock.
This is also the most Rush thing you've probably heard since before Signals:
While I know this isn't really a thread for posts about the 'E, my comment is really NWA related. Should Cody Rhodes win the title tonight, he will be the first person to have held both the NWA World's Heavyweight Championship and the W(W)WF/E Championship who has never used the "Nature Boy"...
The band Heart was already pretty eclectic in its early days, something usually attributed to it being a "Led Zeppelin clone." But this is definitely prog:
Chris DeBurgh was an occasional art-rocker in his pre-Lady in Red days, as exemplified by this prog mini-epic:
I'm fairly sure Geoff Tate was familiar with this song. Speak the word/whisper the word...six of one, half dozen of the other.
Fleesh, a duo of some sort, doing a nice studio cover of Renaissance's Ashes are Burning, with some nice Beardfish-esque electric guitar parts. I'm trying to ignore that the multi-instrumentalist looks like one of the Young Bucks' Jackson brothers.
The Hammerheads setting included in the Cortex Prime corebook is a natural disaster mitigation/search and rescue/etc. setting if you'd like something non-violent but where you still feel like you're making a difference.
Plays fine on my Xbox One X, and on a friend's PS4 Pro. It seems to be designed for the half generation point, rather than last gen or next gen. There are still noticeable bugs, but along the lines of most Bethesda titles. So I'm used to that.
The only connection is that the production companies had to pay Warner/DC a licensing fee to use the name. "Cobra Kai" avoids that altogether. At this point, I'm surprised they didn't rename "The Karate Kid" to "Cobra Kai: Origins" to put an end to those fees.
We are running a donation drive this month to help offset the costs of running the Pub and to avoid running intrusive ads in the future. If you would like to help out please visit this thread for more details. Thank you!
