Massive! Wow Either she's in a blond wig or we have a 'new girl'...

I really didn't care much for the 80's stuff after Grace Under Pressure, but yes after the live renditions I've gone back & now I like them. The sonics are pretty dated but I really appreciate the songwriting, there are some great tunes. It's cool to hear those songs with how Rush sounds NOW.

Fantastic song! My fav from CA

Just an outstanding record. I can't get enough of those big bass pedal moments! When the Anarchist riff comes on, the sub-sonics just vibrate the crap out my car! Awesome! Most of the bass you FEEL on the album is actually Geddy's bass. His Fender has a huge bottom end which provides that heavy bass sound you hear on The Anarchist's riff and at the beginning of Clockwork Angels, when the guitar kicks in (Also, in the beginning of the first verse). On top of that bass sound it you can hear Geddy's crunchy treble sound which comes with a strong bass vibe. That bass vibe belongs to the bass guitar. However, there are definitely other places where Geddy uses the bass pedals to provide some bottom end. Check out the riff (approx 0:57), the bass is moving (with the guitar part) and the bass pedals are taking the whole notes underneath. Yes Ged's bass is beefy, it's great. I was referring to the actual bass pedal sounds, which are different. Usually long sustaining notes, and working with the bass instead of replacing it. Kudos to the mix engineer for keeping it distinct.

As much as they don't want to become a nostalgia band, I don't want them to do it, either. Far, far better for them to pull stuff out of the Vault and keep their Shows changing than to see them churn out the same-old, same-old.....and end up disbanding from the boredom. Agree 100%.

Whatever Rush is into playing is fine by me!

We're talking about Meet & Greet! What are we talking about here? We're talking about Meet & Greet!

Nice. ^

Lighten up y'all! It's all in good fun!

Just throwing this out there...could Alex be triggering with his vocal mic?

This guy has some excellent footage from Columbus: http://www.youtube.com/user/RTMorasonMD2

QUOTE (Don Quixote @ Sep 23 2012, 09:45 AM) I've read on more than one occasion that Alex's guitars are all standard tuning with one or two exceptions for Drop D. The changes in his sound are with effects and pickup configurations. Yes but check out the two new songs the OP referenced, the major chords are played with the one finger bar shape. It's an interesting sound, the tuning is very common for slide.
