What is the title of the Rush song with the lyrics, "A friend in need is a friend in deed, A friend with (blank) is better. Da dada da da da da in stormy weather", I beleive this how it goes can anyone help?

isn't that a placebo song, the single from the album before the most recent? and the blank is "weed," i believe. if it were a rush cover that'd be awesome. i guess rush covering placebo'd be cooler though.

It is. I think my hangover is approaching.

Hyuk. I've heard the 'he sounds like the guy in Rush' thing before, but I had yet to hear anyone assume it was Rush straight up! But yes, Placebo it is -- "Pure Morning."

I always thought he sang more like Cartman.

"but glittering prizes/
and endless compromises/
landed Placebo in mediocrity, yeah ... "

Anna Rose, there's a glint of hope on the horizon. But apparently it's Brian Molko's glittery nail varnish.

"Spirit Of Radio" is really good until they get to the reggae section.

what's up with Placebo's rip of "Texas Never Whispers" by Pavement.

What? Rush going reggae was CLASSIC!

Alex on the new album's really growly, isn't he? (sp. - as in growling)

Oh, that's "Ator The Snow Dog," where the dude in the future finds a Strat behind a waterfall and immediately starts wailing on the wammy bar. That's what happens when you have a drummer write the lyrics.
