- Mr. Tomlinson's feud started after members of the now-defunct Reddit site r/opieandanthony got his Twitter account suspended, causing him to threaten some bored trolls who never heard of him with a libel lawsuit. The trolls responded predictably.
- Mr. Tomlinson has been instructed many times by friends, family, police, and attorneys to stop engaging with his trolls, and that continuing to provoke them will cause him to be trolled even more. Mr. Tomlinson wilfully ignores this advice
- He would eventually file a defamation suit against 60 anonymous people which was dismissed with Mr. Tomlinson being ordered to pay $34,762.25 for opposing parties' attorney fees.
- He ended up paying $83,736.99 due to his unsuccessful attempts to dodge the court-ordered judgement, for which he faced jail time and contempt charges.
- He also filed 2 frivolous restraining orders against people who had engaged in First Amendment-protected behavior (one for texting him and another for attending his contempt of court hearing), both of which were dismissed.
- Early on in the lawsuit, Mr. Tomlinson vandalized his own motorcycle and submitted a false police report blaming the people he was suing.
- He accidentally sent surveillance video of the alleged vandal (himself) to a troll.
- Mr. Tomlinson has never shown this video footage during any of his media tours, and desperately tries to scrub it from the internet.
- Mr. Tomlinson claims that the surveillance video was initiated by his "motion-activated" camera, which only collects "30 seconds at a time", despite the video being 32 seconds long and beginning several seconds before the "vandal" enters into the frame.
- On 13 April 2023, the individual responsible for calling the fake emergencies (SWATs) to Mr. Tomlinson's house, a SWAT-for-hire dealer named "Torswats", revealed that Mr. Tomlinson ordered the SWATs to his own house because he wanted to get in the news and sue the MPD for money.
- Torswats would repeat these allegations in private chats which were not intended for public view.
- Mr. Tomlinson has gone on multiple news tours since the SWATtings started in order to promote his victimhood brand, utilizing the services of Lenora Claire.
- He also recently sued the MPD for money.

WWAW with Rush

I was at a Primus concert in Toronto and half of the set was Rush songs to honour Neil Peart. It was pretty awesome.

Why are you in a rush, are you late or something? Hey Tone, heard what i said?
Solidly my second favorite band of all-time. No other band matches their music quality when playing live to the extent that I usually prefer the live version of most of their songs. Exit...Stage Left is by far my favorite live album/concert video ever.
The first 40 minutes from the intro/Camera Eye to YYZ and especially The Trees/Xanadu is beyond description.

Love em, though I’m not some expert on their music.
You can tell Rush is a great band because even Brother Joe knows to stay way from covering them.

A great band of ridiculously talented musicians.
Don't bother you that they eventually started piping shit in instead of playing bass and keys at the same time?

I saw them the last 3 or 4 tours they did. There's very little "piped in" stuff. Maybe the keyboard shit and a few intro type things. They were clearly playing the music. (Lifeson is a great guitarist and even he Brother Joe's a few notes here and there.) The only minor complaint is Geddy's voice was shot to shit, but what are you gonna do?
It's not like Motley Crue or KISS whose whole show is fake despite their music being 1/100 as complex as Rush.
Geddy Lee(((Bowitzbergblatt)))?
Nice helium voice, kike munchkin

Fucking Motley Crue... Kick start my heart, wild side, girls - pretty fucking great songs - but the deep cuts on their albums are some of the worst shit I've ever heard. Pretty clear that whatever producers they were bringing in were there just to massage a few songs into hits and let the rest of the albums be nearly unlistenable filler. Also, Nikki Sixx could be one of the worst bassists I've ever heard.

Always liked them.
One of the best YES songs and arguably one of the best bass heavy rock songs of all time.
I saw them for the first time in 2010. The second half of the setlist was Moving Pictures in it's entirety. I knew their names and new they are great musicians, but was only familiar with their hits (Tom Sawyer, YYZ, Spirit of Radio, Subdivisions) Wasn't a big fan before, but their live show turned me into a fan.
That's all I got.
Pat is fat.

They're fine, horribly overplayed in Canada though. Up here 50% of all songs played on the radio have to be by Canadian artists and we just don't have a deep bench. I prefer The Tragically Hip, personally.
