Lock And Key

I was on board till you started hating on HYF. Some day when this planet is a planet of apes an ancient astronaut will find HYF in the ruins of the city. The truth will be revealed.

Love it!!!

Instead of calling it the synth era, we should be calling it the "Wimpy Guitar" era.

 

More like the "Alex gets screwed" era...

In my opinion his best guitar work was during this era, name a decent guitar solo on VP there isn't one?

A lot of my favourites are not on there, Grand Designs, Chemistry, The Weapon,yet rubbish like One Little Victory makes the list, some of the worst songs are on that list.

Seven Cities Of Gold, awful, tedious and thoroughly boring, when I went to the gig the only 2 numbers they didn't perform off CA were Bu2B and Seven Cities, don't know why they left Bu2B out that's a decent song.

When I was 14 my friends had Rush albums, I was into ACDC then and especially Iron Maiden and the scorpions, I didn't care too much for the Rush stuff and found it a bit boring. My Mother used to buy a Womens weekly publication which had a order form in for The Britania Music Club, you could order Albums on approval you had 28 days to make your mind up whether you wanted to keep the album or not? If you wanted it you paid for it, if not you returned it? I asked her if I could order something but there was nothing really in there only about 5 Rock albums, Moving Pictures was in there so reluctantly I ordered it. When it arrived I played it, it was vinyl I thought Mmm not sure played it again and thought this is almost likable, eventually played it so many times I fell in love with it. In 1982 aged 16 I bought Signals on Cassette, I mainly played only that album for a year I adored it and still revere it today as the best album they ever made.

I love the album as much as anything they've ever done...and that song is a particularly strong one, I love it. It's a mystery to me why they've never played it live.

Just like it's a mystery why they've never played Emotion detector, the guitar solo on that is awesome!!!

This may have been discussed before not sure? But I find no evidence of this brilliant song off the superb but vastly underrated 'Hold Your Fire' album ever being performed live, I was at the 'Show Of Hands' concert in Birmingham in 88 and was surprised it wasn't played then?

By tor, The Trees, most 70s stuff and anything off Vapor Trails, the record company must have put some serious pressure on them to churn that rubbish out.

The Pass, Bravado, The Fountain of Lamneth, Digital Man, Chemistry (if it counts), Carve Away the Stone, Armor and Sword, Faithless, Marathon, Territories.

 

The Fountain! That hurts.

I don't really loathe it but it's probably the song loved by hardcore fans I could most do without.

 

MARATHON!?!?

 

I guess I can understand Digital Man. I love that song to death but it's very odd.

It's a great track and Chemistry even better wonderful guitar solos

1. Signals, 2. Power Windows, 3. Hold Your Fire, 4. Moving Pictures, 5. Roll The Bones, 6. Grace Under Pressure. Signals gets the nod for me because some of Lifesons best guitar solos are on that album, I think his best work was across these albums especially the 80s stuff, maybe he thought he had to be more expressive because of the heavy use of keyboards which I applauded, Rush have lost something since the 80s, it's all gone pretty flat since with the worst album being the dreadful Vapor Trails with no guitar solos of note. All the other stuff is ordinary and couldn't rank them apart from sticking VP at the bottom of the pile.

The original footage is awful on you tube there is a blue ray version

Anything off that dreadful Vapour Trails album, I've got the remastered cd and I just can't get into it at all, album is a incoherent wall of noise

Anyone know where you can get this, looked on Amazon it's not there?
