This may be why we wont get Carnies either. Then why do they insist on playing "Free Will"? They do it anyway even though that song pushes his vocals to the limit. i think it's time to shelve freewill. Agreed.

QUOTE (GuitarPlyr01 @ Jul 2 2012, 03:02 PM) QUOTE (dakota2112 @ Jul 2 2012, 01:00 PM) Alex has misinformed us more than that in the past. I remember a guitar mag article where he said he was bringing the doubleneck SG onstage for multiple songs, and that his tech would be busy re-tuning it inbetween. This implied he would use the doubleneck for 'Hope', and then again for something else (Xanadu?). It never happened, as far as I can recall. That was his original idea for songs like Main Monkey Business and EntreNous before the 2007 Tour. But he ultimately ended up deciding that the 12 string acoustics set up on stands was the better option. Less re-tuning, less of a mess to deal with for his tech. Alex, I get the feeling, says stuff in the moment, and its true. But then they end up making changes, and he doesn't actually get the time to say they made the changes in interviews. I don't think Lerxst would lie or make stuff up. He just speaks way far in advance of the start of a tour.

Not very kind for the one who wrote that song : Neil. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBZY_loemUw "Tai Shan" is up on the list of my least favorite Rush songs, quite like "Rivendell" or "Dog Years." But there is a time and place for everything and I listened to "Tai Shan" yesterday and didn't gag once! Did you gag twice? Surprisingly no! I kept my stomach contents firmly in my gut. Miracles DO happen! You don't have to puke to gag... It's a slippery slope.

QUOTE (iluvgeddy05 @ Jun 27 2012, 04:33 PM) He's quite clear on The Garden, which is the closest to that pure "musical instrument" sound as you get on this record.

QUOTE (Rushchick10 @ Jun 27 2012, 03:34 PM) Indeed. Won't stop me from going, but so far I'm not a huge fan of the idea. All will be revealed on September 7th. . .!

You know, Superconductor is the only song in their catalog that I do not like. I have tried, but to no avail. Wish them Well, while being my least favorite on the album is still worth a listen for me. I'm definitely in the minority here, but I LOVE that song!

"Hilarious" puts a whole new spin on it. . . okay I'm on board Yeah it would be, Specially if all these older 70's fans spring a leak or two. I think pretty much everyone's gonna bawl at some point during the concert. . .

QUOTE (hunter @ Jun 27 2012, 07:29 PM) I get a late 60's early 70's vibe from the song. Maybe that's why I like it. A great Rush tune? Nah. But a good tune? Yeah. Totally agreed! I listened to it today- I don't HATE it but it's definitely a throwaway track in my opinion.

QUOTE (Todem @ Jun 27 2012, 07:37 AM) This is firmly my #1 song on CA. This is the Rush I love most. And the chorus is just out of this world. The whole intro where they play all three parts of the song is like a mini "Prelude" Just outstanding. YEAH!

This entire thread is making me laugh WAY too hard

QUOTE (Snaked @ Jun 26 2012, 09:45 PM) QUOTE (rushgoober @ Jun 26 2012, 09:32 PM) It's a great song no doubt, but I still rate it 8th or 9th on CA. TBH, the song has a LOT of great competition on the album. Too many songs I consider a bit greater to put it very close to the top... Thats one way to know for sure it's a great album. We can argue passionately about which song is the best and both have valid arguments The Anarchist is going on a full week of being my fave on the album... I expect it'll change at some point but for now at least I cannot get it out of my head. At the very least it has the most compelling chorus on the album IMO. It's been stuck in my head ever since I heard it on June 4th for the first time

QUOTE (Presto-digitation @ Jun 26 2012, 09:24 PM) I can't understand him in the '75 era personally. Yeah, he was pretty much incomprehensible 50% of the time. . . Neil's dense lyrics crammed into the music didn't help either

QUOTE (CantStopThinkingBig @ Jun 26 2012, 09:25 PM) the first time I read the tracklist I thought it was called "The Antichrist". Sounds like a title right up Neil's alley

QUOTE (treeduck @ Jun 26 2012, 07:18 PM) Aye...sort of, though it was written by Bob Seger (I'm hearing that in Phil Lynott's voice )... I like Thin Lizzy better than Bob Seger though

My friend (who's a Rush fan/skeptic) has said it's a lost Rush song and I'm inclined to agree! HOLY MOTHER OF GED! Could you imagine?! Never would happen, but it would be epic! I'm still holding out for a Geddy Lee solo tour. But how weird would it be seeing him onstage without the other Two Stooges? About as weird as them having a string sec- Oh wait. True, though? But we're putting on our "Bravest Face"s eh?
