rugen Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 (edited) Is there someone who thought about the possibility to see a new version of that first album someday? It would be good to hear Neil and the other to work on that one with the best production possible and the experience that the boys have gained over the years. I think it would be a lot better than to hear the 99th versions of that album remastered on a vinyl or cd. Edited July 23, 2018 by rugen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although one could argue they physically peaked over 15 years ago and they don’t play as well now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't be too worried about Alex and Neil playing, but Geddy trying to match the high note and energy of that album is another thing... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entre_Perpetuo Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Ged would never be able to sing it, so they'd have to use the old recordings for vocals. Seeing as we're post R40, Neil would probably refuse to play on it. I kinda doubt Ged and Al would suddenly be interested in doing that after all these years. It would be cool though.

JohnnyBlaze Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Not a fan of this type of stuff. I’m ok with new versions of songs performed at gigs. However, redoing and recording and selling an entire album is a different animal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the way Neal destroyed working man is any indication, I don't want him touching any of that debut album. He has no f****** Groove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk about no groove. No wonder they've never played it live since. And I'm totally serious about that, even if you're not. That was definitely a case of more drums does NOT = better. God it's bad.

Neil might be able to add to the songs without killing their grooves and overplaying, but then again maybe not. No, that album captured the band at that moment in time and any attempt to redo it would result in a degradation, not an improvement. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upstateNYfan Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Fun to think about, and maybe even fun for Geddy and Alex to work on. But it will never happen. Albums make them very little money, they very seldom look back musically, and Neil wasn't even on the album. They've played a few things from that album on tour over the last 15 years. I think the ultimate would be to see them at a historic venue like Massey Hall (now under reno) or Radio City playing a manageable set. However I do realize it's probably a 1% chance.

Almost un-listenable (much like the live version of Here Again that Neil played on I was talking about). Ugh, no. Perhaps they just weren't that good at playing live yet, getting the timing down and everything because the studio version of that is way WAY better...smoother, not as sped up. That was horrible.

Oh yeah, it's definitely very sloppy, but I like Neil's ideas for fills and accents in this song better than John's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am completely serious. Listen to any old Rush with Neil and then listen to ACDC with Phil Rudd. In terms of rock and roll, Rudd mops the floor with Neil Edited July 24, 2018 by edhunter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
