blueschica Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 (edited) From an article on Blabbermouth.net- "Steel drum orchestra Pan Rocks will enter the studio this fall to record its tribute to RUSH. Mike Portnoy (SONS OF APOLLO, THE WINERY DOGS, DREAM THEATER) will handle drumming duties. The bassist and guitarist will be announced in the coming weeks. . . . " . . .Pan Rocks is a 50-to-100-plus-piece steel drum orchestra founded by rock steelpannist Tracy Thornton. The RUSH recording is a follow up to the 2017 Pan Rocks "Project LA", which featured the music of LED ZEPPELIN, KISS and JANE'S ADDICTION . . ." Link to the article- http://www.blabbermo...av5j-A.facebook I can't really imagine what that would sound like with Rush, but here is the previous version of Pan Rocks doing Led Zep's Immigrant Song- I'm still trying to make up my mind! It's an interesting sound but reminds me of the whole "Pickin On . . ." series where they do instrumental bluegrass versions of Led Zeppelin or whatever group. The sound is pleasant but so far removed from the original recording that it's a little strange to listen to . . :P Edited October 4, 2018 by blueschica 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeaveMyThingAlone Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 I was excited about this until I clicked on the link to the Zeppelin tribute. For me, it was a definite do not like. It sounds like something I’d hear st a Caribeean hotel and there’s no way id recognize it as Immigrabt Song, A whole album of Rush tunes that sojund like this seems so strange. Kind of surprised Portnoy is doing it but then again he’s pretty much on stand by when anything Rush related is done so he can get involved 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUSHHEAD666 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Pure shite. James LaBrie Cheese and Mike Portannoy really have a lot in common. Both were very good in the early 90's. Today they suck arseholes. JUNK!!!! Waste of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ytserush Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Perhaps they can push the envelope a little and stay away from the usual suspects like Limelight, Working Man or Fly By Night. I have a few Steel Drum CDs and if these people know what they're doing it should sound pretty cool. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think working man will be included as the steel pans would seem to mesh with the reggae version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tangy Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 And lets get real. The best rush tribute disc by far imo was working man which was portnoys baby.

Jesus GARBAGE It's so sad Rush fans have to listen to covers of songs that were actually made by true legends and real musicians. Not copy cat cumbersome crappers. JUNK! Go jack off to Cygnus And The Sea Monsters then. I'm sure you fanbois will love that one. LOL!!!!!!!!! I will stick to Geddy Alex and Neil. DREAM THEATER IS COMPLETE SHITE!

JohnnyBlaze Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Heard Pan Rocks’ versions of Immigrant Song and Jane’s Addiction’s Been Caught Stealing. Really didn’t like either. Their Rush project will be an easy skip for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
