Rush

[Mambuto_O'Mally]

I don't think any country will exist in 2112. Besides people are saying that within the next couple of years Canada will merge with the U.S. The day that happends I'm moving to England or Australia.

Oh, and Adiovivo, how is that a racist commennt?

[audioviva]

Because you're from newfoundland you hate quebec, so you just don't get it. go back to fishing

[Maggot Dream]

Because you're from newfoundland you hate quebec, so you just don't get it. go back to fishing
If you had any idea what the hell you're talking about, you might've known the story of 2112. In which there are no countries. Geddy Lee, being part of the band we're supposed to be discussing, was most likely talking about that futuristic society (that is, assuming you didn't make that comment up).

Shut up.

[Mambuto_O'Mally]

Because you're from newfoundland you hate quebec, so you just don't get it. go back to fishing
I'm actually from Manitoba you idiot, and secondly shut the **** up. How can I hate Quebec when I'm part Canadian french?

[audioviva]

How can I hate Quebec when I'm part Canadian french?

do you have self image problems? i really don't know how anyone could hate quebec? :confused:

:smoke:

[Mambuto_O'Mally]

I don't hate Quebec. In fact I like every part of my country.

[audioviva]

except for saskatchewan, i hope

[thunderzstruck]

I used to like rush until Geddy lee said he didn't think canada would exist in 2112 in a interview, which i thought was a racist comment

Disclaimer: i don't like canada, but i like quebec


umm Rush is canadian

soo yeeeah

[Mambuto_O'Mally]

On the matter of Saskatchewan: I've nothing against them. Well, except their football team. :lol: Their team song, is the funniest thing I've ever heard. :lol: :lol:

[Distant Echoes]

Oh no, Rush threads gone bad too!

er...how bout that Rush in Rio DVD? awsome.

/Master of communication

[thunderzstruck]

good stuff rush in rio is. Would have been kickass if they played all of 2112 instead of just Syrinx though

[Distant Echoes]

well that is the best part, except the solo in presentation. Grand Finale isnt even that great for anything called 'the grand finale'. Drum heavy, and a good part, but I expected more from it since the whole song built up to it.

Even in the early 80s they didnt do the whole song. A major portion, yes, but They may have right after the album came out. Their previous three weren't jam packed with hits themself...

[classicrockman]

I watched that for the first time today.

My dad had it for a while as a birthday present, but we never had the time to watch it.

:amaze: It's really good! :thumb:

[Distant Echoes]

Best DVD I own

Anybody know when their touring again?

[thunderzstruck]

Well my fav part of the song is when the guy presents the guitar to the priests

but I could see why they didn't play it

[thunderzstruck]

I just got done watching it with my dad, we didn't watch the whole thing though (we have before) We just picked out songs to watch GOOD STUFF!

[René Lévesque]

damn canadians

[thunderzstruck]

Thank for you informative and intelectual opinion. You just right now summed up the enitre point and purpose of this thread in two words. Your mastery of the English language is astounding and for this, I applaude you and am certain you will have a bright future ahead of you. People thousands of years from now will still be seeking the wisdom you had and studying your philosophy on EVERYTHING.

I hope someone as great as you are will not be offended to have a mere mortal like me be replying to your post. Thank you once again to be the Saviour I was always looking for, and will be happy to see your contribution on this messageboard in the near future.

hey, when you get a 3 hour concert, I dont think the extra 15 minutes of 2112 will matter much the the people in rio :p

I cant wait to go to their show, The most id be willing to pay is $150, which shouldnt be a problem, but they hit you hard. The one this years cheapest tix were $80, and i wasnt employeed at the time - but it rained the during the whole thing so whatever.

Oh, I wouldn't care if they played all of 2112 or not, I just thought it would be pretty cool if they did.

I hope their tickets are decently priced, i hope they even TOUR again! I only became a Rush fan about a year and half ago so when I was just getting into them their last tour had just passed by here :(

[Distant Echoes]

alot of my recent fav bands just passed too...

Dont expect tix to be decently priced. I dont remember very clear, but crap grass tickets were expensive last time around, which i believe may have possibly been $80. Unless you have a job, you will need to save a few weeks prior to purchasing.

Best **** show youll ever see though :thumb:
That is, until the Rolling Stones return!!!!!!!!111oneone

[Pierre Trudeau]

On the matter of Saskatchewan: I've nothing against them. Well, except their football team. :lol: Their team song, is the funniest thing I've ever heard. :lol: :lol:

Represent

[thunderzstruck]

Yeah, I will save up for a while before. Anyways my dad is a Rush fan and his friends are HUGE fans. They offered to take me next time, so my dad will help me pay He'll understand.

How much were the Stones tickets?

[Distant Echoes]

I got some mid section side tix for $110 each on ebay, which was a great deal. most average about $300 for crappy old seats.

Box seats are selling for over $2000

[Pierre Trudeau]

Is this canadian money I'm hearing about? :confused: $110 is steep.

[Distant Echoes]

nope, american.

/spam ++

[Pierre Trudeau]

Oh, even steeper. :(

[thunderzstruck]

stones tickets are so overpriced


never got intot hem though but i hear they put on a good show

[Distant Echoes]

Rush will be releasing the highly anticipated R30 DVD in late fall 2005. R30 will feature the sold out concert that Rush played in Frankfurt, Germany in October 2004 during their 30th Anniversary tour.

Sweet :thumb:

[thunderzstruck]

awesome

any set list avaliable?

[Distant Echoes]

I couldnt find a set list, but ill look a little longer. Heres some more good news i ran into though...

RUSH: No less than four Rush DVDs are currently in the works. The first of the batch will be R30, recorded during the 30th Anniversary Tour last year in Europe. Unofficially, the R30 DVD is expected to be released on October 15th.
During the course of 2006 three more DVDs will see the light of day: Exit Stage Left, Grace Under Pressure and A Show Of Hands.

As for the new studio album, Cygnus-X1.net has the following:
WDHA-FM (105.5), New Jersey's Rock station reported on the air today that, according to front-man Geddy Lee, he was ready to begin work on the next Rush album in the fall of this year. Citing 2005 as a 'family year', he was hoping to get bored enough over the summer in preparation for the rigors of recording a new album. He also stated that he hoped to begin the new disc sometime 'after the [baseball] World Series'

:lol: jom yelled at me for random posting in his thread or some rule like that. Cyberhate ++

[thunderzstruck]

haha

So awesome they're coming out with a new cd! Hope it's not just some rumor though

Pretty good setlist, I would like to see them play Hemispheres.. but that might drag on. Short segue into Day Tripper would be awesome and intresting. Reggae version of Working Man?!?! :lol: I GOTTA see that!

[YDload]

Is "Crossroads" the traditional blue song made famous by Cream, or is it an original Rush song?

[thunderzstruck]

Well didn't they do a blue/classic rock cover album like a year back? So I bet it's the Clapton song, especially since I have not heard of a Rush song of the same name

[Distant Echoes]

Cream made it popular, but they also covered it off a very famous blues musician (sopposedly invented blues), but goddam i can not think of his name right now...embarressing. But i out you on the right track to find out.

Rush does a good cover of it. Better then solo Clapton's IMO (since he does it all clean, slow and bluesy).

[Xanadu]

did anyone else around here unlock the bonus fearures on rush in rio?

[Cain]

I saw the Bytor video, but the Anthem thing has eluded me.

[Xanadu]

i like the anthem thing i find it kinda humorus

[Hep Kat]

humorous eh? i should see it

[Distant Echoes]

I saw the Bytor video, but the Anthem thing has eluded me.

I got how to do it online, since i couldnt figure it out. One disc two, select the second video, and when it plays, just go back to the menu. Do it again with the first video and go back. Then again with the first video and go back, and one more time to the second video and go to the menu (youve selected 2-1-1-2. how original.) Then you can see it.

It a really old school clip, sort of like the one of Led Zeps communication breakdown on the Early/latter days cd. Worth watching though, and a bit humorous.

[Jean Chrétien]

im a new poster, but i must say tom saywer is not their best song, they have better ones, thats just my opnion :chug:

thank you :(

[Hep Kat]

if you wanna get into best songs well than freewill wins hands down....BUT they have about 90 or so good songs

[Distant Echoes]

Freewill maybe their most talented or well developed songs, just about as difficult for any instrument in that song to play; but I represent how varying opinions can be when i say Distant Early Warning is easily my favorite. Simple, Not fun to play, but every time i hear it I cant get over how incredible it is.

[thunderzstruck]

Tom Sawyer isn't their best song, but its a very solid song

The Spirit of Radio is :p

Is Rush's recent stuff any good? I've heard some of its not their best. Any thoughts?

[Cain]

Xanadu and animepunk: Quit spamming the thread. If I see another batch of double-posting and one-sentence posts that don't move any kind of conversation along, I'm reporting you both. It's against the rules to pointlessly bump threads.

[YouGottaBeCrazy]

Vapor Trails is pretty **** good.

[Cain]

Vapor Trails is pretty **** good.

But there are no guitar solos. :(

[YouGottaBeCrazy]

I noticed. They're still good songs though, imo.

[FatalEnergy]

But there are no guitar solos. :(


REALLY?!

Wow, that kind of makes me hesitant to check out their newer stuff

[Maggot Dream]

That really surprises me, Lifeson was always a huge part of the band's sound. Too bad.

[Distant Echoes]

Their arent any full guitar solos...but the album itself is very guitar heavy (Vapor trails). Instead of their usual keyboard synth stuff they do and usually slow down there songs out of nowere in most their latter 80s, early 90s progressive material, this album actually was a step up without the same instruments and style but with a more badass sound. Its a bit heavier, and their are defintaly parts were guitar was meant to stand out (but no thing like Tom Sawyer or spirit of radio), but its my favorite album by them in the past two decades. I would highly recommend it for a rush fan, after getting their older, higher end material first of course :)

[YouGottaBeCrazy]

That really surprises me, Lifeson was always a huge part of the band's sound. Too bad.

It's not like he left the band. There just happens to not be any solos on Vapor Trails. I didn't even notice until a few days ago and I've had the album for months.

[RNR]

Sometimes it's better for a song if the guitarist would leave out the solo. I like no solo better than a bad one.

[Distant Echoes]

Lifeson doesnt play bad solos :)

Sortta ticks me off that they cut down the working man solo in concert though...Id think they would extend that for 5 more minutes. I read an article about how they lack improv onstage a while back. Geddy claimed that improving lead them all to something like a different wandering state of mind, and it sometimes hard to get back on track with the same style or feel the song originally had. That wasnt exactly it, but something like it.

Personally I think a great band needs a great performance, and not just a replication of their good songs. Rush does put on a good show, some improv in selected song parts, but I feel theyd be a whole lot more powerful with more improv...theyre very capable of doing it.
Anybody agree?

[RNR]

Lifeson doesnt play bad solos :)


Freewill. It sounds like his guitar is being tortured. I like that song, just not the solo. Too wanky.

[thunderzstruck]

I don't really like his solo tones on (the album) 2112, for the most part.

[Maggot Dream]

I don't really like his solo tones on (the album) 2112, for the most part.
I agree with you about the songs other than 2112. I think on 2112 itself, his tone is pretty good, especially on the Overture solo.

[Xanadu]

yo, in spirit of the radio at the end. what are they talking about or trying to say when hr sings "for the words of the prophets where written on the studio wall, and echoes with the sound of salesmen, of salesmen.ooooooooofffffff ssaallllessmen

[Maggot Dream]

"The words of the prophets were written on the wall" is a famous saying. I think it means that we should've seen coming what's happening now, because it was obvious in hindsight.

[thunderzstruck]

The album roll the bones is growing on me ALOT

[dr._feelgood]

I STILL can't get over the fact that I gave away my copy of Roll The Bones a year ago. Especially since I hear it's one of their best albums. My musical taste was so bad a year ago.

[thunderzstruck]

it's ok man, we all make mistakes in life... some REALLY stupid but in the broad scheme of things, you now like themand realize your mistake you can still enjoy Rush :)

[Cain]

"The words of the prophets were written on the wall" is a famous saying. I think it means that we should've seen coming what's happening now, because it was obvious in hindsight.

Actually, Peart meant it as a rather silly play on words--and cultural reference (indicating that Rush actually do NOT take themselves as seriously as they are often portrayed), as the lyric "For the words of the prophet were written on the subway hall" is from Simon and Garfunkel's hit "The Sound of Silence" off "The Graduate" soundtrack. Peart twisted it by making the line read "and the words of the PROFITS" (rather than "prophets") to make some sort of silly statement about the "money-grubbing music industry" and referencing the history of previous radio hits in a manner that's actually kind of fun for those who get the in-joke.

It's not really all as deep as you're making it, unfortunately, although I'm sure you can take it any way you like if it has personal significance for you. :)

[dr._feelgood]

The one Rush lyric I don't like is "Catch the spirit, catch the spit" from Tom Sawyer. What the hell is catch the spit supposed to mean?

[thunderzstruck]

One reason I love them too is because they don't take themselves very seriously and just like to have fun.

[Maggot Dream]

One reason I love them too is because they don't take themselves very seriously and just like to have fun.
Yeah, I agree. That shows alot in Rush in Rio, all the weird cartoons and such.

[RNR]

The one Rush lyric I don't like is "Catch the spirit, catch the spit" from Tom Sawyer. What the hell is catch the spit supposed to mean?

Every writer who's not completely braindead has lyrics which are difficult to make sense of unless you of course know everything about everything.

yeeeeah kinda been slow lately though :(

[angusmaster]

Yea,i use to see this thread at the top all the time,but now its like every other day it is.

About Rush,i think they are really cool,my favorite songs are spirit of the radio and 2112.

[Maggot Dream]

yeeeeah kinda been slow lately though :(
Too true. Sad.

[jhendrix_4]

Im just getting into rush but they are an awesome band and all 3 members absolutely rock

[Xanadu]

yeeh kinda ran outa things to talk about

[RNR]

Impossible. Somehow that stupid Metallica thread has 20 000 or so posts and Rush has way more songs, albums and overall history.

Anyone like Presto? Not really Rush at their peak but still a great album.

[Thunder Fingers]

Presto have alot of great songs..

Red Tide and The pass are my Favourites.

[Xanadu]

i like The pass

[Ich Habe Sheisse]

What would you gents say is the best Rush instrumental?

It's a tie between YYZ and Leave That Thing Alone for me.

[RNR]

YYZ. Duhzorz.

[Thunder Fingers]

YYZ...

if i get a song i dont like in my head, i always use YYZ to Push it out...

People around me are getting realy annoyed by me going "dydedyttdytt dydedyttdytt" Every Now and then :p

[Maggot Dream]

As much as I like YYZ, I prefer La Villa Strangiato. Awesome song, it's interesting to try to figure out when each movement ends and the next begins.

Plus, it's a great demonstration of each member's musical talent.

[thunderzstruck]

After watching Rush in Rio the studio version of YYZ is sooo bland, I can hardly listen to it. live > studio by a mile

[Maggot Dream]

I actually disagree on that. As much as I like Rush in Rio, I think their quality is better in studio. The problem with Rush in Rio is that unfortunately, the bass overpowers the sound.

[Ich Habe Sheisse]

I dunno. The only thing I really find different between the Rio and studio versions is Geddy's tone, and his part in the solo. His Rio tone is a love/hate thing for me, but, on the whole, it's substantially better than studio. But I really don't like how he does the 'flicky' thing during the solo.

[thunderzstruck]

I actually disagree on that. As much as I like Rush in Rio, I think their quality is better in studio. The problem with Rush in Rio is that unfortunately, the bass overpowers the sound.


Yeah, the bass can get annoying I don't know... the studio version just seems empty, while the live is very rockin \m/ lol

[Maggot Dream]

They're both awesome, I just like the quality of the studio better. Also, Geddy's voice is much better in studio. His voice live isn't terrible, it's just much weaker.

[RNR]

Geddy has a lot of power in his voice in studio, not so much in concert.

Whoever says that he sounds like a women needs to listen to him and then try to think of a women who sounds like Geddy. They wont be able to do it. He doesn't sound like any women on the planet.

people make fun of Coheed and Cambria for that, even when they were brought up in this very thread! Not trying to start anything here, but I'm just saying it's very hypocritical for a Rush fan to criticize the pitch of some other man's singing voice.

haha I remember that.. but I have yet to hear a Coheed and Cambria song so I could not comment

[YDload]

haha I remember that.. but I have yet to hear a Coheed and Cambria song so I could not comment

Well their first single was a song called "A Favor House Atlantic." I do NOT recommend that as your first foray into the band, because it's too ridiculous: a pop-punk song sung in a falsetto much higher than Geddy's normal range. But their other songs are more like progressive pop-punk, with lots of guitar melodies and great solos (not to mention slightly lower-pitched vocals). So don't be afraid to check them out, but they're definitely not for everyone.

[thunderzstruck]

I would like to check them out

always looking for new music

[Huber]

Welcome Home rocks. I anticipate C&C's new CD a lot.

[Maggot Dream]

I've never gotten into them, not my type of music.

Besides the voices, are they at all comparable to Rush?

[Cain]

I take issue with Claudio's vocal tone more so than his technical pitch. I don't care that his voice is high, but I despise his general sound. It's totally lacking any sort of warmth or training, and is one of the most peculiar voices in the punk-emo scene, I'd say, whereas Geddy has obviously mellowed out and toned up a LOT. I love the riffs C/C get up to and they're clearly waving the prog flag every chance they get, but still.

[RNR]

Ha, my friend said that Geddy sounded like a woman today and I asked him to name one women who sounds like that or even close to that.

Me=teh win.

[thunderzstruck]

haha ownd

I find that some of my extremely ignorant friends when trying to listen to Rush (or any of my other music) will always find one thing and stick with it to hate about it. Like Geddy sounds like a girl... ugh no, he doesn't. And is voice isn't that high during (album) 2112

[YDload]

Are there ANY male singers who honestly sound like women, and not merely very high-pitched men? The closest I can think of is Anthony Green of Circa Survive.

Check out a few sound clips of that band (they're new so they probably have a purevolume/myspace site), it might be something you like or maybe you'll just have a good laugh.

[drummer_frog]

I love Rush Neil pert is an awsome drummer!!!!!!! the only thing I have against Rush is there drummer lol....He has no emotion when he plays it seems like he doesnt even like the drums dont get me wrong he kicks butt!!!!
:smash:

[DirtyQuebec6969]

It is true, Neil Pert is not that good. Maybe if they had less drum wankage and Geddy Lee sang in a register a couple octaves down... :smoke:

I understand it's your opinion, but Peart set the stakes for that style of drumming. and have you seen any of his DVDs? It hurts my ears to hear things about how he isn't as good or he's overrated after watching those things. He's probably one of the only people in music that deserves most of the praise he gets. Not the best, but you can't deny, he's one of the best.

[Maggot Dream]

It is true, Neil Pert is not that good. Maybe if they had less drum wankage and Geddy Lee sang in a register a couple octaves down... :smoke:

Just my opinion, so don't get your collective panties in a knot. :wave:
If you think Neil Peart is not that good, you are missing something. Listen carefully to the drumming; odd times, afro-cuban influences, not to mention originality and most importantly his HUGE influence on current drumming. Mike Portnoy and Danny Carey (as much as I don't like him) are two great examples of Peart's enormous influence on rock drumming.

[RNR]

Who cares about odd timing and influence? He sounds great.

[Maggot Dream]

I know that. I'm just pointing out the near-sightedness of his comment.

Don't worry, I agree.

[Rounder]

Dream Theater, although they are a great band, the last couple of albums Jordan Rudess has had a huge impact on the sound of DT. They do sound like they are in a sport. Rudess always plays everything to the nth degree, and I think JP wanted to keep up with him. and labrie should die, or at least get fired.

Anyways enough about DT.

Rush. To adress some points made throughout the thread.I don't understand people that say 'they are wankers', becuase of all prog bands out there, Rush IMO has been way more subtle with their talent than other prog bands. They Have always been about the song, and about the melody. Alex's solos have always been short and to the point, and always fits the song. Ive always Loved his playing style. Geddy's bass playing/keyboard playing are extremely melodic. People see him playing and think he is wanking when he is really carrying the melody. As far as his vocals, they may be a bit high, but holy crap, Zeppilin's frontman sounded like a toddler crying after getting yelled at by his mommy, and NO ONE ever complains about his vocals. Pert is an amazing drummer. Theres not much I can say about Pert. Anyone who thinks he is underrated needs to watch the Live in RIO DVD and watch him playing polyrhythms during the drum solo.

Their longevity is a wonder to me. I saw them a couple years ago, (same tour as Live in Rio), and I had chills up my spine for the entire show. It was up there with Tool for me. To say it was spiritual isn't really right, but it felt important in that way. They opened with Tom sawyer. omfg. Alex has done the opposite of most ageing musicians and has turned the distortion up. All the songs sound way heavier live than on the record. What A great show. (although I didnt get the washing machines) The acoustic Resist was a cool beak in the show. I encourage everyone to try to see them once, especially if your not a very big fan. I think you'd 'get it' after seeing them live. They had super-quality sound, and they played forever.

My favorite Rush era is the 80's stuff, namely Natural Science and Subdivions.(THEY PLAYED NATURAL SCIENCE LIVE AHAHAHH HAHAHA! but no subdivions :( )I think that was their most experimental time. Test For Echo, Counterparts, and Vapor Trails are also great albums. As far as vapor Trails, I think seeing it live was how it was meant. Earthshine live was awesome, as were the other new tunes.

If anyone knows a way to get free dvd to mpeg maybe I could YSI a couple tracks from the Live In Rio dvd.

Rush's drummer is awesome

Good to see you round3r. :) I wasn't sure what had become of you, glad to see you're ok.

I like La Villa Strangiato better, if just because of the ups and downs it goes through, great range of music. Plus, there's the awesome skill involved.

Hey I'm a big Rush fan but don't have lots of time on my pc so I spend most of my time
in the Tallica or Guitar threads

can some one upload some Rush for me?

I love working man and I've been trying to learn it but my old record
has lots of scrathes and popping so it's kinda hard to hear proper notes

if you could that would be great

Ahhh no! Geddy is famous for his voice, you can't say that. IMO, I love his voice.. it's really a great voice. It's defintely something you need to get used to though. But it's one of those voice's like Robert Plant's.. you hear it and you know exactly who it is.

I hate it when people do that smoking smiley face guy when they want people to think they're cool. I mean come on, drum wankage?

Anybody know if Rush will be going back on tour anytime soon?

[Distant Echoes]

I think their working on another original album soon, if not now, and then theyll be touring again. A few pages back i did a ton of research on modern things their coming out with, like their R30 DVD and some other info on their new stuff. I dont remember if i gave a new tour date, but you can expect around mid/end 06 Id assume. Might take longer depending on the amount of stage effects they need to buy and setup

[dr._feelgood]

When was Vapor Trails released anyway? Was it any good?

[Distant Echoes]

released in 2002. Its there most recent studio album, and responsible (and named) for their 30th reunion tour. I think it's one of their best recent albums within the past decade or so, but it's opinion.

Some peoples dislikes include - No 'real' guitar solos, lack of keyboard/synth used by geddy, heavier sound

I think it's a great album though. I would defintaly agree that if your into heavier/harder stuff, then Id suggest it before their other '83 and on albums, and the guitar work is layered fabulously. Yea theirs a few **** bombs, but generally it's a solid piece of work.

And the cover art owns :thumb:

That's some good info. No guitar solos is unlike Alex Lifeson :(

Rush in Rio is the Best DVD of the many i own.

I stated a few pages back their working on a new album and touring again soon; if thats where you think you heard it from. But if not, did you find out when their gonna tour again, or if their working on their new now or in the newar future?

I uploaded a few albums today, and it took a majority of time of the day on the comp, so be grateful!

ATTN: If anybody has the following albums, could you send me them in a zipped folder? When i send out the albums, i want to put them all in order and in one email. Ill cite your username on the album uploaded. Make sure you say which format its in.

Rush (dubut album)
Fly By Night
Farewell To Kings
Hemispheres
All The Worlds a Stage

I either cant upload them or dont have em available at the moment. Email to Echoes4258@comcast.net. If you could do it on Megaupload.com too (other then YSI), that would be even better. Thanks in advance. :thumb:

[Cain]

If you were only looking for one album than I'd probably help. But with five seperate ones, all of which are generally readily available in a music store or even in places like Borders', I won't, because it's senseless to do that and cheat the band you like out of their money. If you like Rush, why don't you just wait to save up enough money to buy them legally?

[Distant Echoes]

Im sopporting everybody else who hasnt yet heard them. I doubt anybody will upload or steal all their albums, but im trying to help out the ones who need more albums by them who need to get exposed, or at least one from each of the 3 phases of their career.

But since you stated the word legally, were you implying that of using megaupload or downloading the music on p2p programs? just need clarification, because i actually own most my rush albums, the other few were from friends. CAnt wait to buy the remaining few i need though :)

[thunderzstruck]

I can upload Farewell to Kings in .wma format.. Is that ok?

It just struck me as weird that you'd be asking for so many albums. There was a point in life where I owned Rush's entire discography with the exception of Grace Under Pressure and Hold Your Fire. I waited to buy them all, instead of getting them from others. I lost about 75 percent of those CDs on a vacation, but I would still wait to buy them all again. It was just weird to me. It sounded like you wanted them all for yourself.

But I'm not mad or anything.

[Distant Echoes]

Oh no i dont wnat them all for myself. In fact, Im not even going to listen to the ones i dont have if people contribute. I agree it would be very selfish to keep them all for myself, i just wanna help out. If youd like to, you can send one, if not, its all good.

But hey, Im glad we cleared this out

Im actually close to putting together a cover with members who all love rush. The only problem is if were gonna cover them, were may need to kick our singer in the balls before having him to hit the notes geddy does.

[thunderzstruck]

AWIP is the highest-selling drumming instructional DVD of all time (or so I've heard). I've heard mixed reviews, I guess it depends on your style of drumming. If you're into total perfectionism (like Peart), then it's probably a good buy (unfortunately, it's quite expensive).

"2112 is just plain terrible. Any story about a land where music has been band and a 'hero' finds a guitar, thus bringing music back to the masses may have appealed to me when I was 10 years old but now just sounds dated and comical. And as for the inside cover photo of the band...well, move over Freddie Mercury cos here come the winged crusaders from Canada!!"

From a local forum for local people - I wondered what everyone's views on this were?

[rockinbass17]

I think it's along the lines of:

A F# G E F# D

I'm not sure, though. In order for it to sound right you need his settings. I just tabbed it out on a piano, and it doesn't sound right. But I think this is it. Also, timing is vitally important.

EDIT: On the topic of 2112, it is one of my favorite songs/albums and I think whoever said that doesn't have an open mind.

I'm so glad you think so, I was beginning to lose faith.

This just reaffirms my distaste for musicians' attitudes where I live (SE England). No one gets on with anyone else down here, and people disagree with people just for the sake of it! It's demoralising to think I have to live here and make the most of it! :p

This is pure crap. He's not a hero, and when he tries to show the priests the guitar, they reject what he had poured his heart and soul into and he goes into a state of depression. Whoever wrote that hasen't even heard 2112!

[Flopfoot]

I can't seem to get over The Trees, I love the fingerpicking at the start and the instrumentals and everything. It sounds terrific.
And yea, I actually like lyrics which are straightforward enough for people to understand without making it kids music, like 2112 and the trees. (Or anything by Ayreon for that matter, another great prog rock 'band').

I find A Farewell to Kings to be a really good album, as well as the ones mentioned already. Permanent Waves as well.

I agree. It's one of my favorite instrumentals.

I've been listening to them sense I was a kid. I would record them off the radio
and listen back..for the longest time (till I was ten) I though that them and led zeppelin were the same band

Mainly, Geddy's voice is terrible in that song, IMO. Also, I think it just has a horribly cheesy sound to it.

[classicrockman]

I know that it's the Rush song that everyone knows...but "Freewill" is still good to me.

[Firecracker]

Fly By Night is a good song, but not as good as "Freewill", "Spirit Of Radio" or "Closer To The Heart" for example.

[Xanadu]

ive been listening to analog kid alot recently

[Distant Echoes]

Analog kid is actually a pretty decent song for their latter material from what i remember.

The Big Money has one of my favorite song structures around, but when it slows down to what i think is the verses, it kills it. If they rocked the whole way through, it would be one of my favorites.

Fly by night is good, but I hate the guitar work other then the intro riff. I was never big on the guitar chords matching up with the vocals throughout a song either.

Spirit Of radio is great. Ive been trying to find ways to recreate or just extend the guitar solo, but can not. Something about it I cant replicate....But i still need to find out how Lifeson plays to the solos like Freewill and Working man, which might be considered shredding at the certain parts. Just barring a fret and pressing notes fast doesnt help much, the scale would be a good start - but theres no tabs to be found online for them.

I always seem to have trouble playing Lifeson's solos. I'm not sure why. I can match the speed, it's just, some of them are so unorthodox sounding in the rhythm that it's difficult (see the solo to "Tom Sawyer" for example).

[Huber]

What do you guys think of the later albums, like Vapor Trails? I got the Rush In Rio DVD and saw them play Earthshine and that song sounded pretty awesome. I was surprised because I heard the album wasn't very good.

La Villa Strangiato is actually a song i can notice a sginificant diiference from the studio version. Other then the intro improv ripping down the scale, they play it much better and much more rockish then the studio version...but i dont know. Just one mans opinion.

But on the live album the time is the exact same as the studio version. Precision to its finest...

Tom Sawyer is on Moving Pictures. Other noteable albums (excluding 2112 becuase you have it) are Permanent Waves, A Farewell To Kings, Caress of Steel, Hemispheres and Roll The Bones. There are others, but those are my favorites.
