All I have to say is....I love Neil Peart's drumming, he's so awesome. :thumb:

[QUOTE=Distant Echoes]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...[/QUOTE]


hmmm

I have never heard a live version of the song. I havn't watched the one on Rush in Rio in soo long (is it any different than the studio version?)

Just pick up some live album of them playing...Exit stage left is probably my favorite. Rush in Rios is alright too...but they all sort of sound the same.

Here's to 1000 more

I would go out and buy it (just go enough money right now) buuut I'm trying to save up :(

I never really was that big of a Rush fan, I liked a few songs, but that was it. That all changed today. I recieved a copyof 2112 from my uncle and it is amazing. What are some other albums I should check out. Also, what album has Tom Sawyer on it? Thanks for the help.

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.

I was planning to get that one first. I already know a song on it.

Hemipspheres is vastly underrated

[QUOTE=thunderzstruck]Hemipspheres is vastly underrated[/QUOTE]
I love it so much.

I like Cygnus (meh, long title, mighta got it wrong..)

Anybody here like the song Natural Science off of Permanent Waves? The live (Rush in Rio) version is my favorite Rush song. I don't like the studio version as much, but it's still very good and I never hear many people mention this song.

ah i love "natural science" its so great.

wheels within wheels in a spiral array
a pattern so grand and complex
time after time we lose sight of their way
are causes cant see there effects

stuck in my head now, and lovin it

Hehe, Rush is vastly underrated. But for Rush fans, Hemispheres is underrated. Atleast in my opinion.

The Spirit Of Radio!

Geez is that a catchy song or what...

Rush IS underrated

Hemispheres IS underrated

what is this world coming too!? :(

Is Rush more popular in Canada than anywhere else? I'd imagine that they're not as underrated in their home country.

Bah, Canadians like folk and country music. I'd imagaine that Rush is bigger in Japan and the US than in Canada.

Japan? I never knew they had a following there :amaze:

Sure, the Japanese eat all of that prog stuff up. (or atleast more than Canadians! wtf, canada blows)

I agree.....how can they ignore such an amazing band?

yea rush is one amazing band...

Yea Japan actually has a decent music taste...I dont know anything about canada though except folk music. I couldnt imagine them just ignoring rush though. There probably more popular here and maybe in the UK though.

I heard subdivisions on the radio earlier...I realized it wasnt as bad as i usually critisize it to be; but for that style of song - the intro is weak. It gets better through the song, but I still dont think its near their best.

[QUOTE=wholedzep]I agree.....how can they ignore such an amazing band?[/QUOTE]
It's not like Canada is a statistic or anything. Canadians are real people and there are a lot of Canadian Rush fans. It's just that the vast majority of Canadians aren't :(

too bad



/sings the blame canada south park song thing...

5th page!!! Unacceptable.

What do you guys think of the way Rush organizes their longer songs into movements? I think it's cool, it can be interesting figuring out where each movement begins.

I love when bands write songs with movements. Especially prog bands, for then it's almost like classical music. I do believe htat Lee, Lifeson, and Peart are modern electronical composers.

They have a huge following in Brazil; they use the Tom Sawyer as the theme song for McGuyver, and I think that somehow got South America's attention.

What is your guys favorite rush song, album?

I've started listening to more Rush. I only have 2112 though, so I guess that's my favorite.
