bathory Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 a hemispheres teaser morphing into a S&A song is absolutely hilarious. and no shit, I believe you. cause it makes sense musically and it definitely seems like something rush would do. Except Xanadu isn't on Hemispheres. Or was this a test, Bathory, to see if anyone was awake here? I must be on acid. I could've sworn the first post said hemispheres prelude...which isn't xanadu. or is it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeminiRising79 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Wait a minute..... They are going from the Hemispheres Prelude right into Far Cry? Get those guys on the phone for me. Waiting-for-setlist-before-buying-tickets crew checking in. Yes, and what do you think of sullying Hemispheres in such a fashion? Blasphemy and idiocy in their highest orders. Brb, preparing my Farewell (to Dingbats) speech. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyonthespot Posted April 16, 2015 Author Share Posted April 16, 2015 Its important to remember just because they are rehearsing doesn't mean it makes the cut.. He made it sound like they would stop and start, like they were trying to figure it out.. I know Alex said they rehearsed Jacobs Ladder a couple tours back and though he likes playing it, it just didn't fit in correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrfriendly Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Yeah Jacob's ladder was for time machine tour, even neil talks about it in his last DVD, sounded like they gave it a shot in a rehearsal but said it just didn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rushman14 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Wait a minute..... They are going from the Hemispheres Prelude right into Far Cry? Get those guys on the phone for me. it's because far cry has that same open F sharp chord. It'll actually be a smooth transition. and I like Far Cry :) 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate1647 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 If the rumor is true, they could be workshopping the R40 medley? I think going from Far Cry to Prelude makes way more sense musically. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaminbenb Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 yeah i know what you mean the main kit, but the rumour was that in the second set (or possibly just the encore?) they are going to bring out is old slingerland kit from the 70s the play with. Not that actual kit but one made to look like it. Museum piece, ain't it? In the Rhythm Discovery Center.... I've seen pictures of it somewhere....

MMCXII Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Where was it written that chromey's making a come back? He doesn't even own that kit and I'm sure he would never even play a replica of it. He's pretty stoked about that 1600 year old kit or whatever. I'm pretty sure it's all we'll see (but it'll be awesome!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's pretty stoked about that 1600 year old kit or whatever. I'm pretty sure it's all we'll see (but it'll be awesome!). I think it came down to that interview with the owner of DW mentioning that Neil was going to use the replica of his old kit for the second half of the show (that DW purportedly made for him) and people instantly thought that either Chromey, or the Black Slingerland kit was coming out of retirement.

mrfriendly Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 (edited) anybody else kind of curious what the big deal about these two songs segueing into each other is? whether its far cry into hemispheres or other way around, i was just listening to both together and yeah i guess the one chord is kind of cool but apart from that the two songs really have nothing in common thematically or musically really; just kinda confused what really is so exciting about it.

LocalsBandGuy Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 They're playing Prelude. That's the exciting part. Far Cry will probably be the only S&A song, though I'd love my some Armor & Sword. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeminiRising79 Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 anybody else kind of curious what the big deal about these two songs segueing into each other is? The Achilles' heel of the band is the mindset that anything they do will blow minds. The largely slackjaw following is partially responsible for this.

lerxt1990 Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 (edited) Ok first off this is my first post and I only made the account to pass this a long so cover your eyes before reading below. I have a client who absolutely knows where they are rehearsing and he owns a specialty shipping business and works for a group who is working for the band. Obviously he is in a ND agreement so I will not say who and frankly the spoiler is not a ground breaking or shocking, in fact it makes some sense. He claims, although not actually seeing them, he heard them rehearse Prelude (hemispheres) several times which morphed into Far Cry There you have it.. How reliable, hes a nice guy and always pays his bill so I have no reason to doubt it. Have a nice day! That's really cool, especially tying together songs decades apart. Despite the protestations of the party poopers, it would be a great sequence. Edited April 18, 2015 by lerxt1990 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite the protestations of the brainless party poopers, it would be a great sequence. How bout they start billing R40 as the CA 2015 Tour. Let's see what happens to those record secondary market prices then. how they think, I'm betting they would do Prelude into FC, since they will not be playing what naturally follows Prelude, they find there's a "need" to morph into something, so no one starts chanting for all of Book II. Prelude begins the musical sequence with the most brains this band ever demonstrated. A far cry from all else. For those there for xanaconductor, the poo was certainly there.

rocket ignites Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 It's still fascinating as a fan to watch "the game of Snakes & Arrows" dvd and the writing process of songs like Far Cry. Highly recommended for anyone who hasn't seen it. (youtube) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyonthespot Posted April 19, 2015 Author Share Posted April 19, 2015 Jacobs Ladder is such a prog song in every sense, simplicity can be brilliant so I never understood their reluctance to play it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
