Back in the late 80s and throughout the 90s I was in a series of bands in Austin. We mostly did original tunes, but everyone once in a while we'd have fun butchering Rush songs. Here's an example of that.

 

Nice job and nice Carvin.

 

Agreed. Plus, JARG looks like a rock star!

 

I should'a had a fluffy shirt, ala Seinfeld.

Yeah but then you'd look like Yngwie. You don't want that.

 

Yes, that would be bad, considering the guy can play circles around me.

 

He can play circles around most anybody, but he looks like a pirate!

Yeah...he always struck me as wanting to emulate Richie Blackmore, posing-wise.

Here is the promo video for Mission. Enjoy! Thanks:

Hold your Fire Keep it burning bright!

Wow. Good job on that soundcloud samples. Love the guitar solo in YTOICLW.

Hi everyone. I wanted to share with you my cover of the fantastic song, The Garden, the last track on the Clockwork Angels album. I was using this as a project to teach myself how to use my new home studio setup. I got rather carried away I think!

 

Other than guitars and vocals, the rest of the music was produced using the Reason 7 factory sound banks and a midi keyboard (that's drums, orchestration, bass, drums, piano and effects). I used my old knackered Squire Strat and..well my voice.

 

Love to know what you think. Please feel free to share.

Sounds good man! Nice programming and playing. Only nitpick I have is this; The lyric is "Forever dwells in that moment." Sounds like you're saying whatever dwells... I know nitpicky but that's a Rush fan for you. :P

Yeah that's the only little blemish, but the rest of the song - WOW, thumbs up. :notworthy:

Everyone does La Villa but here it is complete with drum solo... until the battery died. So close.

Tell your guitarist he get's a "thumbs up" from me for playing the first solo so close to the original. Most players (me included) tend to treat that solo as an opportunity to do a little improvising, but your guy really seems to have stayed very close to the original.

 

(We won't talk too much about the 2nd solo. ;) )

I thought he did well with the second solo. Couple moments but all in all good. No?

The video cut out too soon for me to say...the solo was off to a bad start, but he seems like a good enough player that he may have reeled it in.

My Rush covers? Looking at my previous setlists (for gigs I do for my family and some close family friends) Closer to the Heart and Bravado are definitely up there, and starting Saturday night, Larger Bowl will be among the ranks. Also, I did Working Man acoustically not too long ago!

Wow. Very nice! Great camera work, too.

 

Loved the cuts back to when he was younger. Also loved the smiles after the 13:00 mark. Looked like he was having fun!
