nicky6 Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 (edited) Just my opinion, so no blastin! ha ha I feel that they over did some touring at the end, like they didn't need a second leg for snakes and arrows, and the defiantly didn't need a time machine tour, (we just had R30). And I feel that the first leg of clockwork angels tour, geddys voice would have been a lot better, they didn't need that extra strain in between, and I feel that due to this, his voice might have been rested more to sound better on R40. who may agree???

Lorraine Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Think of it this way: if Geddy ruined his voice, he did it for all of you. If you had all sat home instead of buying tickets to see them in concert, Rush wouldn't have toured so much and Geddy would have sounded better when it came to R40. ;) :cheers: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyBlaze Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 I never saw them so I don't know if I will agreeLive releases and camera phone videos exist on youtube. Come on, you know that's barely a fraction of what it's really like to see them live 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 You could hear his voice starting to go a bit during the SAs tour but I think it was just a matter of time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Analog_Bro Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Too many years of age is what did it, nobody can keep every physical trait they have as they get to their 60's, I thought that Geddy for R40 did amazing with what he had 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurkst Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Too many tours at the start probably didn't help either. But would we have had it any other way?... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 How many singers over the age of 60 have managed to retain the voice they had in their youth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wil1972 Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Just my opinion, so no blastin! ha ha I feel that they over did some touring at the end, like they didn't need a second leg for snakes and arrows, Yes, yes they did - without that 2nd leg I would have missed them on that tour.

bluefox4000 Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Screaming in the 70's like he did sure didn't help. Add their appetite for grueling tours you have a future yodel king. Mick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did do a lot of touring late in their career, but it allowed me and my wife to see them 4 times together, 2X on the TM Tour and 2X on the CA Tour. And she had never seen them before, as she was new to the band when she and I married. Edited August 25, 2017 by Wil1972 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnoble Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Yeah the Time Machine Tour was pretty much another "greatest hits" tour and wasn't necessary. His voice started to really start to crack and strain during Snakes. He sounded good to me during the Vapor Trails shows 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grasbo Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 They should have just omitted all the songs where he had to stretch or scream.Short gig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oracle Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 They had been touring/recording almost nonstop since the R30 tour. Geddy has taken care of his voice, but the wear increasingly showed. I can't really listen to R40 because his vocals are just strained. You could tell he was trying, but couldn't quite get there. Compare R40 to Clockwork Angels and Time Machine, you'll hear a noticeable difference. I'm just glad he never got sloppy with his bass playing.

nicky6 Posted August 26, 2017 Author Share Posted August 26, 2017 to me the last time geddy really sang great live recent, was the first leg of the snakes tour. after that. it was done.. it really showed on time machine.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthemic Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 it's not so much too many tours as too many recordings. at the actual gigs, everyone i saw was enjoying every minute of it and saying how great the band sounded. at the gigs you don't hear all the flaws and even if you do, they blip right by you lost in the excitement and the wonder of the energy. still though i'm glad for the recordings because even though geddy doesn't sound very good on some of the songs, on others he sounds pretty f***ing fantastic, and the playing was out of this world. and i'm glad for the tours because those gigs were incredible, some of the best times i've had in the last 10 years.
