Narps Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 I could be wrong but I don't consider any of Rush's music to have "keyboard riffs" or any really worth discussion anyway. Carry on... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bootruss Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 The solos on subdivisions and countdown spring to mind, being a keyboard player the keys are never a challenge to play in rush songs, but keyboard interpretations of rush songs can sound interesting! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Funny, for all the "synth-era" talk, there really aren't too many songs based on a keyboard riff. Lots of sampling and embellishment, but not that much that's driven by the playing of keys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Smith Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 I love the Mini Moog on Xanadu I know it is old but I just like the riff, it is cool XXXX 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entre_Perpetuo Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Got to be either Distant Early Warning or Red Sector A, Ged really perfected writing a song around a synth bit on the whole album. Those two are just chilling, exciting, excellent. Buuuuut, if you want to broaden your definition of "riff" to repeated melody line, Xanadu and Tom Sawyer are right up there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Geddy was very inventive before he became a good keyboard player XXX 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangerXT Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 In "Afterimage", the synth bass riff in the middle section (and carrying on into the guitar solo) is great. Losing it has a great synth sequence in 5/8 that opens the song that I particularly love. I also love countdown as well. Also the grand designs sequence is lovely. Honestly I could go on lol.
