Hey everyone, Excited to join The Rush Forum to talk about our favorite 3 musicians! I was lucky enough to see RUSH perform on their 2nd to last ever concert (R40 Tour - Irvine Meadows Amphitheater), and their music has always had a profound influence on me. Limelight was the first full song I learned on guitar, and I ended up learning other songs on both guitar and bass over the years. I have a YouTube channel "GuitarBeastKing" where I post concert videos, as well as guitar/bass covers that I record at home. I take great pride in the guitarists I cover, with the goal for every video to be the BEST cover of that particular song online. So, feel free to check out my RUSH covers!

Apart from Limelight and Freewill playing similar kinds of roles on their respective albums, I've just discovered another similarity. Geddy uses a very similar melody for the verses of Limelight as the melody he uses on the lines "if you choose not to decide" and "I will choose a path that's clear." Compare these two lines to "living on a lighted stage" and "living in a fisheye lens." The pitches are slightly different, but the contour of the melody is very similar, and the rhythm is quite similar as well! Now of course he takes each one in a different direction, but it's interesting that Ged used the same piece of melody (which is very catchy) for two songs so close to each other in their discography. I wonder if there are any more examples of this...

This is the second one of these he's done of RUSH; such expressions of appreciate remind me of my own for the same: http://youtu.be/4P-yUOlOC5M
