Brucey Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I know it's unlikely since they went Power Windows mad last tour, but how would you all feel about this song being played on the next tour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Analog Cub Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I wouldn't mind. I would rather have Marathon or Mystic Rhythms come back again, but Emotion Detector's not bad. I don't know how it would fit in a setlist, that's the real problem right there. I think it'd have trouble meshing with songs in the set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RushBoingo Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Yes please, along with all of Power Windows, and all of Permanent Waves. Think about it would be the perfect pairing, both albums share initials, both will be celebrating a milestone (30 and 35) and both of them have came close to being played in their entirety (Permanent Waves on the S&A tour, Power Windows on the CA tour). Sorry off topic. A great, and interesting song, that has never been played live, of course I want to hear it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
losingit2k Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I wouldn't mind. Its a good song with a nice solo from Alex. But it would come across better without the cheesy keyboard part. :codger: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geddy's Soul Patch Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I am a huge fan of this one, it's one the best from Power Windows. I would love to see the boys bring it out on the next your. I actually had a dream they played it not that long ago....a premonition perhaps? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the keyboards are cheesy. This is coming from a keyboardist. I don't post that likely. For me keyboards are Subdivisions, Distant Early Warnings, The Trees, Tom Sawyer not Emotion Detector. This song would have been much better without keyboards. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disk98 Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Coming from another keyboardist, I think Emotion Detector's keys are essential to the song. A bit cheesy, yes, but I like cheese. Not my favorite PoW song, but without the keys it'd probably suck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

losingit2k Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 (edited) Coming from another keyboardist, I think Emotion Detector's keys are essential to the song. A bit cheesy, yes, but I like cheese. Not my favorite PoW song, but without the keys it'd probably suck. I disagree, Alex's gtr parts are great in the song as is his lead. Neil and Geddy are perfect in the song. However, the Keyboard part is distracting, cheesy, overdone and unnecessary. Now that said, I'm not talking about the beggining Keyboard part or the chords in the Chorus. Those are (essential) like you mentioned. I'm talking about the little part the starts at :48, then at 1:34, and again at 3:48 and even yet again at 3:56 towards the end of Alex's lead which complete ruins Alex's Lead IMO. Here's the song: https://www.youtube....h?v=ypccAiDIzQE Judge for yourself TRF! :codger: Edited April 29, 2014 by losingit2k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
