Entre_Perpetuo Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 For those of you choosing "Kid Gloves" on P/G......get your ears checked."Red Sector A" solo is melodic, harmonic, sexy, and beautifully paced. I realize you're not going far over the line here, but... Dude, this is not the first time you've come off as kind of condescending about other people's taste in Rush. Lighten up maybe? Not everyone agrees with you about everything, and that should be okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest I just find that you come off condescendingly when you talk about Alex's solos. You have every right to your opinion, but so does everyone else. We may well have just gotten started off on the wrong foot, and I definitely snapped at you too quickly. For that I apologize. I would ask though that you remember tone is very important on internet forums where we have only letters and emojis to clarify how we say what we say.

He has a ham-fisted way of saying he prefers one solo over another. My approach is not to take anyone's opinion too seriously (other than mine, of course). :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Presto - Chain Lightning Interesting choice as that solo is backwards, and not how Alex originally played it. CLICK HERE Vapor Trails - Ceiling Unlimited (Remix edition) Wrong answer! That solo wasn't in the original mix because Alex didn't want any solos, and because the Pete Townsend chords sounded awesome all by themselves...but it was snuck in the back door by Bottrill in the remix, so it's not supposed to be there! It's an unsanctioned solo! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That part f***ing ROARS. 100% correct. Bottrill completely missed the point of that section when he was given free reign in the remix. It seems the band weren't interested in poking their heads into the room during the remix sessions to offer up any suggestions. Lke, after hearing the remix, how did Alex not go, "No, no, take that solo back out, please...I recorded it back then as a goof just to see how it would sound but it really doesn't fit."

treeduck Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Kid Gloves? Nope. "Between The Wheels" for me.BTW has an awesome solo, but Kid Gloves is an auto winner for me Yes! The solo on "Kid Gloves" is lovely! Dude I was having a conversation with "Grace Under Pressure" as a whole with Treeduck. He ranks the record 15th. It's absurd!!!! LOL! "GUP" is my number 2 most favorite incredible album in the Rush Canon!! Many Rush Fans can't stand "Red Lenses." To each their own but that drives me crazy!!!!!It could be lower Earl it's full of fake new wave. Rush wanted to be ABC so they wrote a song that went "One Zero Zero One Zero Zero Metal Fans Kiss My Ass" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
