Echoes Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 So. I was thinking. Maybe Totem is going to be played on the tour coming up. Why? Well. I'm sure many here are familiar with the site www.rushradio.org Last night I tuned into the station and Totem was the first song I heard. Tonight, the same thing. o_O That's never happened before. Maybe it's a sign that Totem is going to be played Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Unfortunately, they won't be playing "Totem" next tour. When they're listening to their albums trying to construct a setlist, this is just one of those songs that makes them say, "No, not that one. Next..."

If they play "Totem" live, I will be sure to hit the head during that timeframe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pags Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 QUOTE (RushNut @ Feb 27 2010, 08:48 AM) Bitchin' song...would be effin cool if they played it. One of my favorites, personally. If they played it, I would go out of my mind. Hey - does anyone know about the Totem Twang? I've listed it in the Great Sounds in the Songs thread. Okay everbody... queue up Totem. I'll wait. Ready? Alright then During the 2nd chorus in parallel with Geddy singing the word Monsters.... there is this twang sound in the background. Sounds like a jew harp. Listen carefully for it. (2.27) Hear it?

The Big Money Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 They probabily won't be playing it next tour or any other tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickfree Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 For Test for Echo album songs, Neil would have to go to traditional grip and he has since abandoned it since it apparently damaged his wrists. I think it might be a possibility if the song is done acoustically without drums, but on the S&A tour they did away with that portion of the show and have Alex strum a few notes on stage for "Hope".

Alex's solo is great, and I love the guitar sound he's getting here. The harmonics he's using are also awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psionic11 Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 I really like the lyrics in Totem. Musically, though, it's too happy, too flippant. I would have expected something darker or more sinister or exotic even. Take these songs: Alien Shore Mystic Rhythms YYZ Losing It Limbo Double Agent Scars Toss them into a blender, extract the best ideas, and bam, a dark and eclectic musical backdrop for the diversity of deities of Totem. But, as for live, as someone mentioned above..."nope. next!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lerxster Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Yes! Totem is a quality Rush song. It would sound at home on S&A. It moves, has got groove and nicely written lyrics.. hell yeah man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say they play Totem, and then immediately after play Faithless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigershark2112 Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 It wasn't a sign, rushradio.org always plays stuff on repeat and you just happened to catch totem a couple times. Though Im definitely not saying I wouldnt want to hear it on their next tour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
