Geddy's Soul Patch

I didn't know Journey was involved in the making of the Superconductor video!! That's crazy

you might be right, but I'm pretty sure that was said about a farewell to kings They rehearsed AFTK for the Snakes tour. I'm sure they could play Jacob's Ladder just fine, I think they scrapped it because Neil doesn't like it. I remember reading somewhere that he said it "didn't feel right"

You mean this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VFG0PEIa8Y If only there was a concert video for any tour from Kings to Waves. Rush in their absolute prime (not to mention the insane setlists).

I would like to hear Mission just because I haven't heard it live, but there are other songs I would rather hear from HYF

One of my all time favorite songs. I'm in!

Kind of matches their personalities. Geddy's very casual while Alex is more classic. I didn't know classic was a personality I guess I just haven't met very many classic people...

I am also confident. Even though Alex isn't always that trustworthy, I highly doubt he would even mention the word "tour" if all three of them weren't at least into the idea

I read an interview with Geddy awhile ago and he said that he was the most resistant to playing the keyboard heavy songs live, and it shocked me! It must just be Neil that is insisting on these very 80s heavy setlists. I think he's definitely anti heavy!

It's unfortunate that those two songs are probably the two least likely Rush songs to ever be played live hahahaha. I too adore those songs, each a masterpiece in its own way. It's really too bad that they never played them back when it was actually feasible Ged's vocals the problem?.... Ged's vocals would be an issue, but I don't think the band still has much affection for those songs. That's the biggest issue

Caress of Steel is a fantastic album. It really bothers me when people compare this album (more specifically Alex's guitar work) to Led Zeppelin because personally I see this album as one of their most unique, certainly a departure from FBN. I don't see it as derivative of Zeppelin at all

I love that idea, but I feel like Rush probably wouldn't be so into it. I'm sure Neil especially considers every second of The Necromancer to be absolutely garbage haha

I would say "Where's My Thing?" as long as Geddy keeps that super dope bass solo at the beginning. LTTA is a little dull live IMO, it doesn't have the energy that WMT has

Except for Turn the Page! Those bass pedals get the volume they deserve on the Show of Hands album

Well I'm sure we can agree that Danny Carey is better than both of them!

"It's more spontaneous babbling! You get kinda goofy at the end of a show, especially near the end of a lengthy tour. That was just crazy rambling, verbal farting. It was Geddy's idea to put it on the video." - Alex Lifeson, Kerrang No. 388, April 18, 1992 "That's kind of a joke, but it doesn't seem like many people are getting that joke. Actually, Alex, at certain parts of that song, would just start rambling into the microphone - all kinds of various nonsense, and it actually never got recorded anywhere. So no one had any idea, including him, what he had actually said. But we loved the shot of him just ranting into this microphone, so we decided we would put up this bogus 'radioactive' warning about the fact that we had 'censored' what he had said, and we thought we did it in kind of an obvious way - it looked like it was phony, because we put the radioactivity symbols right on the screen, but nobody seems to be getting that." - Geddy Lee, Rockline, December 4, 1989

While it's true that they've changed their base style over the years, the one constant has been the fact that it's always been progressive rock. Even through the pop rock phase

I think from the earlier days when they were kind of influenced by Zeppelin a wee bit. But even Zeppelin wasn't metal. Neither was Rush

Progressive Rock is really the only way to describe them

They should play Tears are Not Enough. I'm sure the Ged man would love it! "Oh you knoooow that we'll be theeeeere!"

Where did you hear this?

It's funny how they pretend to be at the peak of their musicianship...

Ah, Neil's desperate attempt to remind everyone that he was once a great drummer. No, thank you

I would like to see a new song or two for a couple of reasons: #1: It gives them something to look forward to each night, I want them to be enjoying themselves #2: We won't be overwhelmed with too much new material like on the CA tour
