Steevo Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Limelight: guitar solo The Garden: ending (where the chorus is repeated) La Villa Strangiato: Lerxst in Wonderland, Monsters! Xanadu: ALL of it (especially ESL) A Passage to Bangkok: Oriental riff and (of course) Lerxst solo Nice batch. The way The Garden is played out is probably my fave moment of the entire CA album...the rhythm backing to the Bangkok Al solo as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's cool to hear Geddy playing that 12 string on his double neck on ESL. Apart from that rhythm guitar, and the end of Xanadu, does Geddy play the 4/12 guitar on any other songs?

condemned2bfree Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Instantly think of the trees. Picking guitar bit with plodding bass, solo, followed by the outro.Sort of outshines, the rest of the song for me. Freewill solo, Bass drums followed by the musical mayhem with the guitar solo. Heard this a thousand times, still marvel at itsgenius. Sweet miracle; geds singing (ultra high part) together with the emotion of that song. Doubt i'll perceive this sort of expression again. Jacobs ladder. Appregio guitar bass build up; after the calm moment, really expressive. Theres more, to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WorkingAllTheTime Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Honestly, I can find a little magic in nearly every song... nearly... there are a couple that don't offer anything... but they are rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorkingAllTheTime Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Is "For Mongo" an anagram? Who's Mongo? It's a reference to Blazing Saddles http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8ciVBQixpU I have a young man who works for me who shares the same first name. It got kind of confusing for a while because people would page us by our name and when either of us answered, they would often say, "No, I meant the other one." He finally suggested that we begin paging him as "Mongo" specifically because of this scene. It also turns out the kid shares an interest in Rush. Smart kid... same name and interests as the boss!

WorkingAllTheTime Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 (edited) In all seriousness, when Alex begins to rip into the solo in The Garden.... just after the piano bridge... like...wow. I know there are some folks who don't like the song, but I think anyone with any degree of musical emotion would agree that solo is ridiculously impressive slowhand work. I know a few folks who hate the song who still give it up for the solo. Edited October 12, 2014 by WorkingAllTheTime 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

len(songs) Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 The one sound that plays as Broon says "...Cygnus X-1" in the intro to Book I. I don't know why but it just "works", at least to my ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes it sound really ominous. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Okay, thought of another one. The sucking on a doobie sound in A Passage to Bangkok right before the guitar solo. :D 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
searchingforthelostxanadu Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 (edited) Hands down, the musical orgasm during Witch Hunt (Part III of Fear). This is especially true on the Grace Under Pressure Live version. The way the bass riff that just f***ing EXPLODES into those big, 1980s synthesizers. It's like a thousand orgasms at once. That's what launches Witch Hunt into the Top 10 for me. I get chills everytime. Edited April 16, 2017 by searchingforthelostxanadu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
