Huge Ackman Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 I've listened to both Victor and My Favorite Headache at some length. I prefer Victor but deeply appreciate MFH. My feeling is that these two individual records bracket the broad continuum that represents the total sound that is RUSH. Alex's solo work is guitar-centered and frenetic. Geddy's is richly orchestrated and melodic. On average, wandering between these two "extremes" is the total package that makes RUSH so unique and special. Just my opinion that I felt like sharing to start the New Year.... Rock ON!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUSHHEAD666 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 VICTOR + MY FAVORITE HEADACHE = MEDIORCE + MUNDANE + MUD = MEH MUSIC MELTING NEW WORLD MAN MINDS. I love ya HUGE! These two albums are a bore. Without Lee, Lifeson, and Peart together, these three guys are just average apart as writers. I love how some of you think that Neil has two studio solo albums too. LOL! He produced two "Burning For Buddy" records with many top world class drummers. I don't agree about a Neil Peart solo album at all. Give me Jeff Berlin's "Champion" album. Neil shines on the ending track. Are some of you Rush Fanatics really that desperate for new material from Geddy and Alex? I would welcome it too but not holding my breath. As Def Leppard would say... "LET IT GO." I was there in that wine cellar having a wonderful lunch with Rod for the Grapes Under Pressure IV trip. Someone at my table asked Gaddy about a "My Favorite Headache II" album. All Geddy said was....... "Well you never know." Come on really? I would hope Geddy and Alex do something together than apart. Just take all the elements for past "solo" albums. Geddy and Alex should write a record and use many different drummers on the tracks. "Burning With Buddy" Meets Rush Meets Victor Meets My Favorite Headache. FUSION!!! RUSHON!!!!! LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chemistry1973 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 I thought Neil’s work with Vertical Horizon was pretty damn great. Probably the best of the non-rush songs created by a member of Rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grep Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Yeah, you can hear what each guy brought to the band. Lersxt with the zany heavy off the wall stuff, and Ged with the melodies and fuller sound. Put those two halves together and you have Rush's musical formula. Most of it anyway.

Good point. I liked his drumming on those songs too! I've written a thread or two on here about Neil's drumming on the the last track of that Jeff Berlin "Champion" album. I absolutely love Neil's drumming on that song. Many on here think it's pure cheese........ Extra cheese please!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just jacked off to "Perfect Strangers." Deep Purple Balls baby! LOL! Not now! Give me a new Geddy Alex record. If they have guest drummers I will do the "Best I Can" to record a track with them! I might have a way........................ To be continued.... So if I retire JB in the next three years, I would expect to meet you in Japan one day....................... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm cranking the new Angel Witch at 2:38 AM. It's incredible. Gaddy and Alex are nothing without Neil. Geddy and Alex are nothing without John Rutsey. Sad really. Two geniuses, dependent on drummers.

To the "Victor" goes the spoils. "My Favorite Headache?" Reminds me of my fuckking ex wife. Matt Cameron is the only saving "Grace Under Pressure" on that torturous album.........
