QUOTE (paganoman @ Nov 26 2004, 10:40 PM)Ok folks. Over the years of listening to every niche and detail of Rush tunes. I've heard some incredible sounds nestled within the layers. It could be a slight slide on a guitar string, or a keyboard trigger, or a sound effect...
What cool stuff have you heard that would normally escape a casual ear?
A few things that have always intrigued me:
- The Camera Eye: don't have the cd handy so I don't know the time, but during the second C#-C keyboard part, right before the solo, there's some muffled speaking in the background. I've tried many times to figure out what they're saying to no avail.
- ESL version of "Jacob's Ladder", during the 7/8-6/8 slow build, as Alex slowly raises the volume on his guitar and goes from palm-mute to regular picking, he hits an artificial harmonic that sounds so cool.
- Neil's double bass drum intro and snare sound on "One Little Victory" (and his drum sound on all of VT for that matter).
- "Evelate" from "Vital Signs"!
- "Oh, wow, what a show!...I guess that's it! [sLAM!]" at the end of ATWAS.
