fraroc Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I might be committing horrifying blasphemy against the Rush fanbase but.....when it comes to keyboard intros, I definitley like 1984 more. It's a much more melodic piece unlike 2112's intro which is just a bunch of spaced out sound effects on the Moog. I would have always preferred it if Geddy had played his own synthesizer solo during live preformances before launching into 2112. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to be fair to Geddy, he is self taught on the keyboards whereas Eddie is a trained classical pianist. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crimsonmistymemory Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Now that were on the Flat Iron Steak Forum, Flat Iron Steak is becoming one of my favorite cuts of steak. The thing that is the coolest thing about it, that it is a cut of beef from the cheapest part of the chuck. It can have the tenderness of tenderloin and twice the flavor when properly cut. I buy the whole "Top Blade" roast and filet them my self where it costs about $4-5/lb which is pretty cheap for beef in Florida these daze. Back on subject 2112 intro is way better that 1984's as Rush is a way better band than VanHalen. Don't get me wrong I enjoy some of the songs VH & VanHagar put out but they aint no Rush.

Segue Myles Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Van Halen died with 1984. Eugh...do not like it. 2112 is atmospheric and sets the scene perfectly for what remains my favourite sidelong epic from Rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
