circumstantial tree Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 While on my way to work this morning I was listening to a song by Siouxsie and the Banshees called "Shadowtime" from their 1991 CD "Superstition". I had always considered this song to have Rushlike qualities including the sound of the music (style of guitar playing is like Alex) and the lyrics are similar to Neil's style of writing. It just makes me think it could have been a Rush song. It inspired me to start this topic. Are there songs out there that you think resemble Rush music, especially from bands that you wouldn't associate with Rush? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisibleairwaves Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 Eye of the Tiger (Survivor) strikes me as slightly Rush-like, but I can't explain why. Maybe I'm just crazy. Yep, that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Porschetta Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 The album "SNOW" by Spock's Beard reminds me of Rush. Good Question. I had to think about that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowdog Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 These guys have a definate "Rush" quality to them: The Reverse Engineers You can listen to clips. They're pretty good. And they're a trio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The band Tiles also sounds like Rush. They're pretty good. Check them out. Zeppelin sounds like early Rush, or does early Rush sound like Zepplin?!

Red Porschetta Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Yeh, Tiles are good. I like The Flower Kings a lot. They sound like "Spock's Beard" "Tiles" "Yes", etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circumstantial tree Posted April 30, 2005 Author Share Posted April 30, 2005 Just for kicks, here are the lyrics to "Shadowtime", the song mentioned in my opening post in this thread. Almost "peart-like" The voice asleep, the voice has vanished from the top of the sky to the place below touch the surface and the mirror bends your words resound, out of control freeze into time now Still inside, yet doubt survives it all begins, beneath the skin No-one is near, no-one will hear your changeling song take shape in Shadowtime Turn your wish to a vapour, the silhouette fades eclipse your blue eyes, and the outline remains from the house of the moon to the stars up above amidst the comets, first sight of love so begins the countdown Falling sky, a solar sigh it all begins, beneath the skin No-one is near, no-one will hear your changeling song takes shape in Shadowtime Shadowtime -- Catching fire, taking hold all that glisters leaves you cold No-one is near, no-one will head your changeling song take shape in Shadowtime Shadowtime -- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

callmejim Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 I found a record in a second hand shop by an Australian band called Trilogy-3 of them in the group,album title "Next in line". All the hallmarks of a rubbish Rush copy band-Taurus bass pedals;12 string guitar,but they had an excellent drummer and the singer(bassist) had a very high pitched voice but not annoyingly so. I did buy the album thinking it would turn out to be rubbish but i was really chuffed to have something that did sound like Rush but not obviously so.Australian band too. A British band in the early 80's called Limelight-again a three piece,bass pedals,double-necks,high vocals and another great drummer.I saw them play at a place called The talk of the Abbey in Neath(South Wales).At the time of the rising of NWOBHM.

Pericles Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 A viking/black metal band from Norway called Enslaved is strongly influenced by Rush and you can hear the influence at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cygnus_X1 Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 QUOTE (D-13 @ Apr 30 2005, 11:44 AM) Coheed and Cambria Yes, the style of singing is very Geddy like (except for the random emo screams dotted around some songs)...but I think thats it really IMO. I havent heard anything as of yet that strikes me as being rush-esque Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird, but I just imagine Geddy singing it, but maybe slightly slower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
