troutman Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 I would have to question why anyone would be here that didn't like La Villa Strangiato. :(There was a time I would have thought the same thing. Stick around here long enough, and you won't be asking it. :( I don't believe half of what I read on here when it comes to opinions. I think a lot of people just like to be dissenters. Makes them feel important or something. They don't like to be packed like lemmings into shiny metal boxes. :)Does Sting need to be brought up in every thread? :) What do you have against Gordon? What makes you think The Police influenced Rush in any way, shape or form? I can't hear it at all. :cool: Do you see your role in the band being similar to that of Andy Summers? Yeah, actually I do. I respect him and I really enjoy his guitar playing because he is a guitarist in a band. He's not a guitarist on his own, he's not the guitar player. He's the guitarist in the band, and the band is the unit. It's one musical entity and he's a part of it. I think that's really important. I think adding all the keyboards and synthesizers and stuff with us, it taught me that. It's not important to stand out. It's more important to be a piece of the whole pie. Yeah, the guitar hero doesn't jive with me. Initially did you listen to those kinds of bands? Oh, sure. That's sort of my early influence. That's pretty obvious on the first few albums, certainly the first album. Jimmy Page, early Clapton and Jeff Beck were my big influences. But if I was to cite any influences now, I would say people like Andy Summers, Midge Ure (Scottish guitarist who played, in the main, with The Rich Kids, Thin Lizzy, and Ultravox), people like that. They're more a part of a band and see their role as being a part of a whole, really, rather than being lead guitarist of this group. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relayer2112 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Both La Villa and YYZ are perfection. One grandiose instrumental from their "epic" period and a shorter one when they started exhibiting a little more self-control. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 Now that you two mention it, and running both the songs through my mind from memory, I think I know what you mean. There's another Rush song too that reminds me of them, but I can't remember what it is right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
