Amazing from what I have heard so far. Looks like they are going back to their old style of Gord ranting screaming and the band rocking out hard rifts. I am super stoked for it to come out, all those tunes sounded great
And I love the name of The Lonely End OF The Rink I cant wait to hear the lyrics and see what hockey references are in it.

Hmmm, well, I would guess the Lonely End of the Rink could be referring to Gord being a goalie. Sometimes when you're team is in the other zone, you, as the goalie, get to stand there (and in my case, suck some wind into my body!) and anticpate the next rush.
Could also refer to something like when a team wins a big game, and they all stream into their end and celebrate, leaving the losers to move around in thier end of the rink, heads down, wondering what could have been.......

no worries
Thanks for the info though
Cant wait to get a copy of the Van show
Out of 20 shows I have seen and 4 of them being small clubs like the commodore fridays show is in the top 3 (amoung other mentionables MLG 96 last show in the Gardens, Concert Hall Toronto and Marine Midland Arena 96)
Friday night Gord had this energy around him that I have not seen in a while, he and the band looked like they were loving life and loving on stage, (i know this post is going to anger people by making comments like that) But it looks like the interest is back and we should see more and more great music to come
What a great sign
If anyone has a copy of the Van show it would be interested to understand what The Lonely end of the rink is about
My guess hockey

Good reasoning on both counts, I can relate to the first one more. I was a goalie for almost 20yrs. till my knee went wonky. I remember being alone in my net and thats when my mind would start to wonder, and I remember wanting the other team to come back, I wanted that puck it was mine, I couldnt wait to make my next big save, maybe Gord felt the same way? If you guys want the lyrics maybe someone with a very good ear and patience can decipher them from Dana's recent download.

Mav, you're not making the wait any easier :lol: Glad to hear that the album is top-notch.
I transcribed as much for the lyrics to rink as i could comprehend. Please correct or add to it, as i'm positive i'm mistaken about some parts:
I looked up and you were there
Just sitting there all alone
Holding your fist in the air
__________, you're on your own
__ drove me home through a snowy tomb
I fell asleep in my seat
I had the dream of having no room
You were there just staring at me
At the lonely end of the rink, you and me
At the lonely end of the rink, you and me
Won't you join the rush
As the season builds
Hear your voice 'cross a frozen lake
Voice like the end of a leaf
Say if you won't die of a thousand _____
Beaten by the sweetest of _____
At the lonely end of the rink, you and me
At the lonely end of the rink, you and me
At the lonely end of the rink, you and me
At the lonely end of the rink, you and me
Won't you join the rush
As the season builds
Jump into the rush
As the season builds
Took me home to a snowy gloom
I fell asleep in my seat
I had the dream of having no room
You were there just staring at me
At the lonely end of the rink, you and me
At the lonely end of the rink, you and me
At the lonely end of the rink, you and me
At the lonely end of the rink, you and me
Lonely end of the rink, lonely end of the rink
Keep us posted, MAv. I'm sorry that i missed you in Vancouver on friday.

Great call
Perhaps it could also be a metaphor how the band feels when playing in the US ?
I think this song goes deeper than the wrong end of the rink looking onto all the action
Either way it sounds awesome
I havent been this excited for an album since Henhouse
