Shoulda just done a funky bass line

Just him doing different strings with a bit of luck

Spindrift

Yeah it seems the main talent he has, the one that makes him the great Alex Lifeson of Rush, is in the choosing of the sound he gets when it been processed through the machines

 

Like theres not many who can get such a variation of unique sounds, Hemispheres Permanent waves etc every album a distinct and truly Rush noise, can imagine is first thing he does really, establishes the sound first then the actual music just trips off his fingers

 

Nice post, i recall hearing something similar for La Villa, like it seemed a bit of a mess and nothing too special if you didnt know what it was but, through the machine we know how majestic it is

Rush albums always come in pairs really

Couple notables for me, cut to the chase and mr soul

 

Would've LOVED to have seen Alien Shore live but you cant ask for too much

Clockwork Angels was due in shop next day but that night became aware was on a torrent site

 

Was going to get the cd anyway so..

 

I couldn't wait, don't even feel need to apologise i'm a proper Rush head i needed it too much :)

 

Had a great night obvs

Is my goto whenever i need a quick blast of rush from that period, dont get why the question needs to be asked tbh

This shouldnt be a question :(

Digital Man

Apart from One Little Victory the remixed album is an abomination

Quintessential Rush, embodies everything unique about this band alone. Far greater than mere great

BU2B

Clockwork Angels

Caravan

The Garden

Headlong Flight

The Anarchist

The Wreckers

 

Just gave Scars a listen, is Neil superb on that track or what

 

Mindyou all three are of course

great track!

Many humans on here have ripped "Scars" apart. It's a masterpiece track and Neil's drumming is once again off the charts.

I am sure you real Rush fans know that Neil likes to throw the "Scars" drum pattern in his solos sometimes. Bloody Brilliant. NEIL PEART RULES.

 

Indeed, absolute masterpiece and interestingly probably only Rush track that would go down great on a nightclub dancefloor. All 3 superb of course but noticeably Al given so much space like never before to just float around between ged's bass & keyboards and Neil's beautiful percussion, just a few seconds where he lets loose, Rush at their creative best

Al's never been sexier than in that track

Just gave Scars a listen, is Neil superb on that track or what

 

Mindyou all three are of course

Can't actually listen to The Garden right now, that last 45 seconds or so with Al driving it out, the last studio track of Rush, that final cello at the end, none of the guys taking responsibility for it, is just too emotional, I'd rather not put myself through it

Chain Lightning

Red Tide

Show Don't Tell

Great read, thanks

Don't go too far

A phosphorescent wave on a tropical sea is a cold fire

Don't cross the line

The pattern of moonlight on the bedroom floor is a cold fire

Don't let me down

The flame at the heart of a pawnbroker's diamond is a cold fire

Don't break the spell

The look in your eyes as you head for the door is a cold fire

All of us get lost in the darkness, dreamers learn to steer by the stars

Even the full moon looks different tonight... :(

 

Not listened to any Rush for a good few weeks and wasnt overly traumatised by Neil's death, was like he'd been gone a while anyway but, just gave Earthshine a hard blast when it came up on YT and was in awe once again at the majesty of this man's playing and lyrics. Tonight was the first time i felt a real sense of grief :(

Some really hit the spot, some just hit the spot.
