Hey friends,
This past weekend I attended Rush's Clockwork Angels tour in the Portland metro area. They are, without question, my favorite band since the late 80's to early 90's. I've had the pleasure to see them at least 6 or 7 times over the past two decades and have a nice collection of T-shirts as a result. They've got a back-up strings ensemble attending them on this tour and you can still expect great lasers, pyrotechnics, and their own brand of comedy via the premade movie clips they show throughout the concert. In all truth, I don't have quite the affinity for some of the 'newer' songs from their past few albums (this new one is my least favorite thus far, sad to admit), but I wouldn't pass a chance to see them live all the same.
Being the steadfast gamer, I have blended my love for both Rush and RPGing by attributing some songs to various characters (PCs and NPCs alike) as well as some of the Oerth Powers, and have thusly fashioned some song collections as background music. Here is what I have come up with so far:
The Big Money: Zilchus
Dreamline: Fharlanghn (maybe even Celestian)
Bastille Day: Trithereon
Marathon: Fharlanghn
Territories: Rao
Mystic Rhythms: Boccob or Istus
Color of Right: Pholtus
Bravado and Everyday Glory: Heironeous
...more forthcoming...
