osage2112 Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 Seriously...there are too many songs out there that would sound better if you did them. Case in point, for those of you who do not dig every last one of the Grateful Dead's songs, like me...some are too disco sounding (Shakedown Street) and some just tantric you to death. However some Heady Reggae Artists coverered some GD songs that beat the originals hands down. You owe it to yourself to listen to Fire on the Mountain: Reggae celebrates the Grateful Dead Volume 2. Way better than Volume 1. Of note are tracks 1, 2, 6, 8, 10, 13. So come on boyz, I'd like to hear you guys rip some Stevie Rave On (pun), Elvis Costello...or, anybody else want to bend the boyz' ears? BTW...a huge thank you for taking your skills out on the road for R30...Europe is your playground from now on and SA awaits with relish. I saw the San Antonio show and Houston show. Houston was kinda like deja vu...humid, sweaty, you guys rocked out and synched to Red Barchetta and the Cynthia Woods crowd basked in the glow...period.

daveyt Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 i'm really glad they did a covers EP because if they hung it up leaving the fans to wonder what it would be like for RUSH to cover other materiel, well, that would simply leave us wondering. thanks for FEEDBACK. i like SHAPES OF THINGS alot and the drums sound rules, especially on SUMMERTIME BLUES. now if anyone digresses on "i wish they would have played fewer covers on the tour" i will shoot you on the spot.

osage2112 Posted March 16, 2005 Author Share Posted March 16, 2005 I find it hard to believe some fans would complain when the Boyz were playing these songs out of pure Fun and Joy. They log the miles and smiles...for our enjoyment. I wouldn't care if they did a tour of nothing but covers, they'd still rock. Osage2112 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching them play Summertime Blues and Crossroads for their encore during the R30 tour, I could actually feel their enjoyment whilst playing them. Helped the songs sound just that bit more awesome than they do on Feedback! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indica Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Feedback is the only Rush CD I never bought. I bought the other ones multiple times because I wore them out. I might get it one day. I heard all the tunes on that cd though but I never have the urge to listen to them. That's just me though, it's cool that other people like it. I'm sure they had fun recording it and playing some covers live. I'm not complaining, it's just that I never felt like buying it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ES-335 Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 I hope they do more covers ... I loved feedback ... I would love for them to do a RUSH version of Frankenstein. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love for them to do a RUSH version of Frankenstein. I probably told this story before but I played at a bar in Indiana and the owner of the bar was related to the bass player that played in Edgar Winters band and he had the bass that was used to record Frankenstein. I thought that was cool as hell, I figured what the hell, got up the nerve, then asked if he would let me play it on 1 song that night and he said yes!!!!! The bass player played some guitar too so we played Nirvanna's "My Apoligy" and I played that bass. I forgot all about that until you just said "Frankenstein"...... I know it's not really that big of a deal but I thought it was pretty cool really because that has always been one of my favorite songs so that made it that much more cool.

NICE Indi!! great experience. Yea ... that has been one of my favorite instrumentals for ever. I always wondered how RUSH would put their stamp on it.

I would love for them to do a RUSH version of Frankenstein. I too loved Feedback, it took me back to my youth and to a more R&B musically centered time zone. I'd love to hear them do another Who song (Behind blue eyes), or two, a Beach Boys song (California Girls) or two, another Yardbirds song, and maybe, just for fun an Animals (House of the rising sun) song or maybe a kicked-up version of Steppenwolfs Born to be wild or Magic carpet ride. There are others.... Or, or something original would be just fine too, I hunger for new Rush baby... I hunger for new Rush!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osage2112 Posted March 17, 2005 Author Share Posted March 17, 2005 I guess if I had to have a revulsion factor to one of the Rush CD's / albums, it would be Hold your Fire. Way too mellow and intro...loved Time Stand Still but that was about it. Feedback was foot tapping fun compared to HYF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
