They say 'Rush announce Moving Pictures boxset' implying Rush is still a thing

 

Is Rush still a thing I ask, especially when Neil passed away

 

 

Had a change of feeling about that tom morello thing, is actually pretty good and showcases Al's guitar pretty well. Decent stuff.

 

One thing i'm noticing though in Al's collaborations, seems to be trying hard not to sound like Alex Lifeson of Rush

 

 

 

He even played that way while still in Rush doing work outside of Rush.

 

Mostly yes but, there's an awful lot of guitar on Victor that could easily be on a Rush album - definitely Lifeson of Rush stuff

 

Edit - But yeah although working with others on Victor is still what described as his solo album so unsure if can be described as a 'collaboration' as such.

Damn i was just going to say this

I'm watching him work through the solo now, and he's nailing a lot of it talking about the sus2 and sus4 stuff as being a huge part of Rush's sound.

 

As I'm thinking about it just in my head, and he's talking about the notes Alex is playing, he's essentially outlining the A minor pentatonic scale played over a Dm Dorian progression, at least in places. That allows Alex to avoid the thirds of Dm and G, and even C if he wants to (if the chord is Csus2.)

 

I'm not saying the entire solo is in A minor pentatonic, but you can certainly use it for quite a bit of it.

Not rush but currently doing Al's At The End

Love it if, in one of these vids Al would get an acoustic out and play broins bane or something. A bit like Brian May was doing not so long ago with Queen stuff

.

Surely those flipper thingies could've been shaped as Al and Ged's guitars

Has inspired me to get Victor out again first time in a little while. Proper Alex Lifeson from Rush stuff isn't it.

 

Looking forward to this new album mindyou

Power Windows and Moving Pictures are my goto feel-good rush albums, they just have a happy feel about them whereas most others more of a dark edge

Ok.. kinda better on today's listen. BU2B was kinda like that, wasnt too enamoured with it at first, became one of my all-time favs.nit saying this'll reach anywhere near same heights but better now, much more to it.

Pretty much the same sound all the way through, once you hear the first 10 seconds that's it

Al looks bigger than usual there around the midriff

 

I'm very upset seeing Alex so fat.

 

I'm depressed.

 

Yep, far too big. Not good to see.

Doggy heaven.

If Al happy doodling around on other people's stuff then i'm happy but if no Rush then all i'm interested in is material he has a large degree of control over, preferably what's classed as solo. That cherry Lopez thing was great, this 'I have seen the way' thing another doodle from the great man imo but sure you guitarists out there will drool over it. Me,just happy he happy.

 

He's been doing this for a while but it always got overshadowed by Rush. Seems to be really enjoying himself.

 

Yeah as mentioned if he happy is enough for me, man doesnt need to do another thing for rest of us gave so much. Only track he contributed to by another artist that really hit spot for me was porcupine tree's anaesthetize, which was brilliant

Surprised no-one mentioned I Have Seen The Way yet is out there on YT etc

apologies to anyone who can't unhear this from now on but, well done Lurkst.

 

Over.

Ok i'll narrow it down, the album it's on is.. Moving Pictures

 

 

 

And remember it just sounds like the muppet-in-question's name as he sings it. The lyric isn't the actual name.

 

Tires spitting gravel I Kermit my weekly crime?

 

Well done :)

Frog Years?

 

Creative but no :)

"Headed for the heart of Cygnus,

Headlong into Miss Piggy."

 

Lol Good one but the one i have in mind sounds exactly like the muppet's name as he sings it

Is there a Muppet named Absalom?

don't think so bud but, just to be clear, the word ged sings just sounds like the muppet in question when he sings it and isn't spelt like the muppet's name.

Not posted a topic on here for a while and was wondering what to post when i heard Geddy sing on a track what sounds like the name of a very prominent character in The Muppets.

 

I mean that wasn't the word he sang but it sounds like it sort-of-thing.

 

Anyway, that's the puzzle - what muppet character can you hear ged sing, in what is one of the band's most beloved tracks actually.

 

Must say what track is on too, no random guesses please.

la Villa always been my rush christmas tune (if you imagine xmas bells in the intro it nails it) but i think cherry lopez going to be it this year
