    ^^^ This kinda shite really crawls up my a$$. The guy volunteers and this is the best you can think of?

    I'd wager he's doing alot more than your feeble little mind could come up with. I'm sure the only things you can could help them with they probably have back in their cellblock.

    Putz...

    Neil is a weird bird. If you ask him a question about music, he can blamble on forever. If you try to pay him a compliment, he goes catatonic.
    Strange.:confused:

    Rush is an antithesis to d-bags like Axl, or Lars Ullrich.
    I refuse to argue with idiots, because people can't tell the DIFFERENCE!

    Can someone who's read it paraphrase into a sentence or two?

    I was thinking the same thing. I lost interest after the second or third paragraph.
    If you can't hear a difference, don't waste your money.

    Ummmm.....really as far as the Townsend stuff goes, Peart got to meet a childhood musical influence. That's about it.

    "Appreciation of audio is a completely subjective human experience. Measurements can provide a measure of insight, but are no substitute for human judgment. Why are we looking to reduce a subjective experience to objective criteria anyway? The subtleties of music and audio reproduction are for those who appreciate it. Differentiation by numbers is for those who do not".--Nelson Pass Pass Labs XA25 | EE Avant Pre | EE Mini Max Supreme DAC | MIT Shotgun S1 | Pangea AC14SE MKII | Legend L600 | BlueSound Node 3 - Tubes add soul!

    Which makes me uniquely qualified to smell your male bovine excrement a mile away.:cheesygrin:

    Yeah, basically he was thrilled to meet one of his idols. It was kind of amusing when his idol, Townshend, told them that making albums was a waste of time these days.
