ytserush Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Have a bad feeling there isn't going to be a tour.(At least one with Alex) Alex really seems like he's done with touring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeminiRising79 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Alex has a terrible track record when comes to solo projects. Needs strict guidance of other talents, imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Have a bad feeling there isn't going to be a tour.(At least one with Alex) Alex really seems like he's done with touring. Going by that song, it also really seems like Alex is done with playing the guitar too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifeson90 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Had a change of feeling about that tom morello thing, is actually pretty good and showcases Al's guitar pretty well. Decent stuff. One thing i'm noticing though in Al's collaborations, seems to be trying hard not to sound like Alex Lifeson of Rush 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JARG Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Had a change of feeling about that tom morello thing, is actually pretty good and showcases Al's guitar pretty well. Decent stuff. One thing i'm noticing though in Al's collaborations, seems to be trying hard not to sound like Alex Lifeson of Rush It's because he likely can't. The Working Man Live in Cleveland is all the proof one needs that Alex is a pale facsimile of what he once was. He still my favorite guitarist, and I am still moved by his earlier work, but he's not the guitarist he used to be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUSHHEAD666 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Weakest of the three songs I have heard. That said, I have been a Alex fanboi since the 70s. I think its great that he making music he likes and I don't care for. Art as expression lives on in Alex! Three songs? Where are the other two???? Rod, I am likely wrong. I thought Kabul blues and spy house were part of the EON project? My bad Edit- the link in the original post seems like i am correct? Oh, got it! No, these songs are stand alone tracks that Alex worked on. My understanding is that they won't be on the EON album. I won't listen to this pile of steaming shit for EONS. EnvyOfNeverendingShit "Fart as expression." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnvyOfNeverendingShit "Fart as exp<b></b>ression." I cancelled my preorder. I don't think this song is bad but I don't see myself playing an album of it. The saddest thing about this project so far is that it sounds like echoes of a million other generic artists. It's such a faceless song, and I will need to play the album for sure before I decide. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing i'm noticing though in Al's collaborations, seems to be trying hard not to sound like Alex Lifeson of Rush He even played that way while still in Rush doing work outside of Rush. Mostly yes but, there's an awful lot of guitar on Victor that could easily be on a Rush album - definitely Lifeson of Rush stuff Edit - But yeah although working with others on Victor is still what described as his solo album so unsure if can be described as a 'collaboration' as such.

I was thinking more of his one offs (or more than that) contributions to other projects (Someone needs to make a definitive list of all of them). Didn't even consider Victor, but that's a mixed bag of different approaches. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rush Didact Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Very curious to hear your thoughts, Rod. Liar is excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod in Toronto Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 I wasn't impressed when Liar came out, but must admit that I liked the whole album more than I was ready to...I will have a chat with Andy Curran about the album, hopefully next week. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treeduck Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 I can't get my jaw off the ground. At least I can still type! PURE SHITE.Earl you know you're going to buy about 50 copies of it, and that's just the Japanese ones! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifeson90 Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 The guys coulda done a tour not performing as Rush but performing Rush music with guest percussionists, woulda been great nothing too heavy or expected, more like a party or celebration while Al and Ged could still do their thing together, can't see the problem they'd make a fortune the fans happy and everybody has a great time, just get it on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a good chat with Andy Curran today, who was Rush's A&R and is the bass player of Envy of None. He was actually at Rush's headquarters in Mississauga, and showed me the dryers they used on the Vapor Trails tour. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al drinks his port wine at home and pesters Ged via text message. That's it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Not Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 listened to "liar" and then checked out "look inside" which i liked better maybe in truth alex actually likes - or at least missed - being lower in the mix and adding to synth soundscapes. i didn't go into it expecting it to be anything like rush so i'm not disappointed at all. they're just trying to make more modern music.
