Mystic Rythm Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 (edited) My take: Geddy: The metal Detecting dude. Progressive steel new music has its origins within the progressive rock in the Nineteen sixties, but didn't come to be a genre until eventually the Nineteen eighties. This form of rock is often a mix in between the powerful guitar seem of weighty metallic, intricate instrument playing and complex constructions. Jazz and classical new music also motivated progressive metal music. The duration of a progressive metallic music is for a longer period than a standard a person. Rushs Geddy Lee was one of several very first to introduce progressive rock to your planet. Through the years, Rushs audio mixed distinct tunes variations and gave delivery to new genres of rock, although Geddy Lee had a serious influence on progressive metal songs. Alex: the SeagullAlex was teased endlessly by Geddy & Neil about his Flock of Seaguls hairdo in latter years.http://i1168.photobucket.com/albums/r500/longbeard4/tumblr_lp07siAOhs1qh7odco1_400_zpsck8tz3an.jpg Neil: The road sign Self explanatory And the beach always represents retirement Edited July 2, 2015 by Mystic Rythm 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that was what YYZ was about.that Why can't they both be about that?After further thought, I now believe it was written about Rand Paul wanting to keep "women and brown people" from using the Toronto airport. The lack of lyrics refers to the silent shame, and finally, gritty resolve in resistance that all Canadians feel about this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digital Man Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 They're about to retire. There are three empty chairs on a beach. Seagulls are often found near beaches. The chairs represent their well-earned retirement. The dalmatian is running behind the chairs The dalmatian represents their career. (Their career has been a bit spotty.) The dog is running because the whole thing seems to have gone by so fast. There's a man with a metal detector on the beach. He has a weird beard. He is "searching for metal" - perhaps a reference to the fact that people have tried to characterize Rush's music as "metal." Or, he is searching for buried treasure. The fans hope there will be buried treasure in a vault, released to the public. They want "Hemispheres live" and "Signals live" for example. The seagull is waiting to see if there is anything to be scavenged. They are beach scavengers. Maybe they hope the retired Alex, Geddy and Neil will throw them french fries. The dalmatian hopes maybe they will throw it a bone. The fans hope that they will throw them more unreleased music. A live album from the Signals tour would be phenomenal. While not official releases, you can get bootlegs from any tour you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disembodied Spirit Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 That's a seagull? I thought it was a shithawk. Oh, wait . . . same thing. http://cygnus-x1.net/links/rush/images/videos/r40/r40-cover.jpgAlex is at the Ritz Carlton bar on the Island in the background. Are you obsessed with that? Every post I see where that's mentioned always seems to be you. Disembodied Spirit was at the next table that night. Actually got sprayed with some of Alex's blood. PTSD has caused a sort of obsession, yes. (I'm lying obviously.) It's the blood fever. :PFor all that is Holy, I wish I had the blood fever from Alex.Maybe then I could play more than 1 chord on the guitar...LOL Eagle not obsessed, but ALL of us have made mistakes and bad judgement while boozing. SEE My recap... For those of us that made it through...It's good to make fun of ourselves, so we don't do it again.Thankfully Alex and I have been bar brawl free for MANY years.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
