Mike that's awesome that you finally got to meet Neil.  Great stuff man.  I look forward to the mag.

As for Fiji water.  It disappoints me that the water's not sold in my country.  Actually we do have the same water but it's under a different name.  Island Chill. :(

I always make sure some of the relatives bring some over when they go to Fiji.  Yup I'm of Fijian descent.  I remember two years ago in Suva I saw the LSFNY DVD in one of the shops much to my shock horror.

Have you seen the Bullshit! episode when Penn & Teller do some investigating on the different water brand?

I saw that episode.  Great stuff.

I know it might be heresy to say, but I hated Fiji water.  I put it at the bottom right next to Dasani and Aquafina.  I just usually get normal ol' Ice Mountain, the cheapest of the cheap. 

I LOVE Penn & Teller's Bullshit! What a great show!

On the water topic: How can you prefer Ice Mountain (spring water, same as tap water) over Aquafina (purified water; reverse osmosis)? This puzzles me.

stil looking for the info on the tattoo Mike has on his right hand.

The tattoo is for his 5 years of sobriety. He used to wear a necklace, then replaced it with the tatt.

I imagine having a tattoo exactly on the first place you'll see if you try to drink something is a good idea.

We're talking about  the December 2006 issue or the january 2007 issue?
Looks like you can order the december 2006 issue already.

still need to check the local B&N, but I cannot track down a retailer that carries this yet. Maybe it's one of those that only certain locations carry? Because I checked at Borders and Shinders..and called 1 B&N with no luck.

I have no idea, but the corporate waters (Aquafina and Dasani) leave a weird coating feeling in my mouth, almost like a slime.  I can't stand that.  Not only that, but they taste horrible to me.  I know it's seems so wrong, but you've seen that Penn and Teller, and even the "pros" couldn't distinguish bottled/purified water from tap, so there ya go.  I'm not so insane, after all.

That's really cool that he finally got to meet Neil, especially after all the bad gossip.

unpinning until we get closer to release date....

Hey Mike, shouldn't you be on your way to Australia? Or are you there yet?

Hey Mike, shouldn't you be on your way to Australia? Or are you there yet? 

Well considering that the first G3 Oz show is less than 24 hours from now, I think it's a given he's been there for at least a couple of days.

I did go to Barnes and Noble tonight in my neighborhood and saw they carry it. The issue they had hit the shelf just last Tuesday (11/21) so that may mean the next won't be in til around X-Mas. Just hope they don't sell out. Gonna have to call every few days around mid December.

Is this the cover for it? Can't see anything about MP on it. It's the December one.
 

fuck. if that's the cover for the december issue then i'm screwed. i already ordered it online through the link that mp poster

Saw the amazing January cover on the first page of the thread.
 

Ah. That's great! Great cover! Ordered the Dec. one with Bonham on anyway. Seem like a good magazine.

How do you order this particular issue? Rather than just subscribing in general? Is there a way? Thanks!

Here is the cover (I posted it on the 1st page of this thread as well)
It goes on sale DEC 20th and is the Jan 2007 issue
It really is an amazingly cool issue, so make sure to GET IT!!!

Wow Portnoy, you interviewed a few of your favorite drummers couldnt atleast put a smile for the cover of the magazine. Cool cover none the less

Cool cover, I have to get it.

This is going to be an amazing magazine to grab when it comes out!!!

Geez I'm an idiot... read the entire thread Brian!!!!
Ok, I figured it out, thanks Mike!

I can't wait to read this mag! Mike knows his Rush (proven on the Cygnus commentary) so I'm sure he'll ask insightful questions not the usual "what does YYZ mean?" or "Will you ever write a sequel to 2112?". I wonder if Mike talked gear with Neil. I just wish Neil replaced that hanging 18" floor tom with a DW gong bass drum. I just hate the way that double sided drum looks suspended. I'd also maybe add "Neil... cough... cough, add a 6" tom... cough cough"

No one is immune to the aging process.

He sure does!
I particularly like how the blue-green beard sets off his eyes!!
 

That cover looks absolutely stunning. I dig it how the photoshopped Mike's beard ON TOP of that little caligraphy thing Way to go Mike

Good stuff man

I checked Barnes and Noble, and a local place in MA called Newsbreak specializing in periodicals, and they both had the November issue of Rhythm with Travis Barker on the cover.  Well, at least they carry it.  I guess it takes some time for the new issues to get here from the UK.   I'll be checking back frequently.  Can't wait to read MP's article.

Maybe I've been watching way too many movies, but don't ya think that Peart looks like Tom Hanks on that pic?

And even more off topic, has anyone noticed that James Labrie looks a lot like a young Robert Duvall (especially in the Godfather)....


I'll keep an eye out for the mag...
