I didn't finish it. The interviewer's style put me off too much.

Fly By Night. It wasn't the latest Rush album at the time (that was AFTK), but it had just the right combination of ingredients to appeal to my burgeoning interest in non AM-radio music.

Yes, and this was the first album where I hesitated to accept it.

Playing Hemispheres there.

Name 5 bands who’s music you would’ve loved Rush to play Pink Floyd Kings X The Dregs The Beatles The Brian Setzer Orchestra

Substitute another band.

Wondering if the draw is the more the music than the musicians or vice versa. It doesn't have to be Rush/Triumph (I picked them because they're both power trios). It can be Rush/any band. The point of the poll is not to compare Rush to another band, but rather to see if it's the music that is the draw moreso than the musicians, or the other way around.

The last three. Hope is nice as is The Garden, but two songs is not enough to redeem the remaining.

In some of his initial Rush reactions he had his wife along for the ride. Her absence from later Rush reactions suggests they ain't her cup of tea. Yeah, I've enjoyed watching his Rush reaction vids. It's cool to see his appreciation for Lifeson grow.

Crazy, Patsy Cline.

Don't happen to recall which one do you? I think he said the pattern is from “Mercy, Mercy, Mercy”, but it’s entirely possible my memory is completely off. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkMdp6E5YsI Says video is unavailable...what is it of?

I seem to recall an interview with Peart where said he got that pattern from some big band drummer.

Could also be Alex hitting the open A string instead of the one E.

He reproduces those notes pretty reliably when he plays live, so I think he meant for them to be there. Here's an isolated guitar track from different sources. The live bits I think come from ATWAS. Jump to 2:18. http://youtu.be/JSXjnK-Cmg8 Yeah I've never heard that bit as a mistake. Me neither. It's not even that dissonant to my ears. The open G and B strings are in key and hint at a G chord, which works well with the chord progression of that part of the song. I've never done an analysis on it, but to my ears they just sound like a little melodic springboard for the next part of the solo. Good phrasing. Yes, excellent phrasing. Thanks for the audio. He did it live too, so it's not a mistake. But it's still dissonant. A strange choice, particularly for the start of a solo, but Alex was/is an unorthodox player to say the least... His note selection can on occasion be out of left field, but more often than not his note selection is pretty mundane and "inside the box", and his solo here is an example of the latter.

I think that's just a little "fret noise", possibly from the acoustic guitar track.

Between the 00:07 and 00:08 mark here, it sounds like Geddy hit the "D" note instead of the "E". http://youtu.be/_VcswhBy9tk

You don't understand that taste is subjective?

Saved By Harpsichord is now on BandCamp. https://sloppyfootcowboys.bandcamp.com/album/saved-by-harpsichord?fbclid=IwAR08AS41NiSAXpuFDl_mGQAxZg30IFLGN628v7HZWTgOiymKDBiHm_5FHWU

Was there....he's intentionally hitting the high E 5th fret twice ������������������������������ seems like an error to me since he’s never repeated that live. Or in the Trailer Park Boys version.

That’s up to the artist who made it, IMO.
