JARG Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 (edited) Wondering if the draw is the more the music than the musicians or vice versa. It doesn't have to be Rush/Triumph (I picked them because they're both power trios). It can be Rush/any band. The point of the poll is not to compare Rush to another band, but rather to see if it's the music that is the draw moreso than the musicians, or the other way around.

Turbine Freight Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 The musicians make the music special & unique. It's a combination of both in this instance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Analog Cub Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 I'd rather hear Rush's music. Triumph - especially Rik Emmett - are accomplished musicians but I'm not into much of their music. A couple of the bigger hits like Fight the Good Fight or Never Surrender are fun but the rest is just a little too much bland "rock n' roll" for my taste. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 See Rush play Triumph material because I'm interested in knowing if Rush could actually get me to think Triumph is good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReRushed Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 I don't have enough interest in Triumph to care about this poll and I bet most here don't have enough interest in me to care I don't care about this poll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyBlaze Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 You guys have probably heard this before but if not, here’s Rik Emmett of Triumph [apparently with Peart] attempting Red Barchetta: http://youtu.be/mWwb_uRzo8I Imho, Emmett’s vocals in the context of Triumph are perfectly fine but Geddy’s vocals in all of their classics just can’t be covered.

Mosher Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 I've little interest in Triumph, so unless Rush created new arrangements I'd rather hear a Rush song. Don't know Triumph well enough, but if they can play the songs them this call is easy. Now, there are a lot of bands who's music I would love to hear Rush play.

Bahamas Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Wondering if the draw is the more the music than the musicians or vice versa. It doesn't have to be Rush/Triumph (I picked them because they're both power trios). It can be Rush/any band. The point of the poll is not to compare Rush to another band, but rather to see if it's the music that is the draw moreso than the musicians, or the other way around. Interesting to me, because it was only a couple of years ago I realized that Rush did an album of "covers" (Feedback), and the re-release of A Farewell To Kings has other artists doing Rush songs. I especially liked Big Wreck's cover of Closer To The Heart. So... Rush playing Take Your Whiskey Home by Van Halen. I would love to hear Geddy put his signature singing style/timing on those low vocals. I know Alex would have a blast adapting his style to the super cool blues rhythms.
