Mr. Not Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 The little bass solo at the end of Anagram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scampfarmer Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Just a few of mine: Geddy's vocals after the Freewill solo. So powerful! The synth part in Xanadu, after "Xan-a-duuuuu!" The bass-guitar solo in The Spirit of Radio, before the 'reggae' part and after the second chorus. Loads of fun with time signatures there! The woodblock (or whatever it is) and synth part from The Trees. Love that. Also the way it builds up to the solo from there. And the end of Cygnus X-1, when they lose control of the ship, is just awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost In Xanadu Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 QUOTE (In A Tidewater Surge @ Apr 14 2010, 03:30 PM) QUOTE (GeddyRulz @ Apr 14 2010, 03:23 PM) When the music drops out and Geddy belts "Flying out of the shockwave...!" in "Manhattan Project." It makes the song, turning an "okay" song into a good one. I know I'm not the only one who loves this. That part gives me chills every time, especially on the live album I also love the "Pow pow pow POUNDING in your temples" from Enemy Within Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griffon Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 I mentioned it in another thread, but Alex's guitar solo in "Kids Gloves," where he's just shredding shredding shredding and then it goes in this different direction and all of a sudden it soars right into the chorus again. Listen to it in the car sometime and see if maintaining the posted speed limit is a problem. (See also: Barechetta, Red after the line "Every nerve aware!")

StellarJetman Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 (edited) The transitional part in "Leave That Thing Alone" from 2:28 to 2:34 is marvelous. Edited June 18, 2011 by StellarJetman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rush Cocky Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I just found one that I love! In all places, it's in "Open Secrets" The breakdown from 2:51 to 3:32 is just brilliant..... I find no absolution In my rational point of view Maybe some things are instinctive But there's one thing we can do You can try to understand me I can try to understand you You can try to understand me I can try to understand you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NobodysHeroine Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Favorite moments? There are so many! ~ Like briremo, I absolutely love the guitar solo in "Mission," which is my favorite song from Hold Your Fire. The solo alone is worth listening to the song; I always get chills. ~ The guitar solo in "La Villa Strangiato," especially the Rush in Rio performance. Oh, my Ged... ~ Geddy, Alex and Neil's individual solos in "Free Will," after the second chorus. ~ The passion and intensity of the final two minutes of "2112." A grand finale, indeed. ~ The bridge in "Everyday Glory," which begins with "If the future's looking dark..." So beautiful. ~ The final verses of "Losing It," before Alex's solo. Geddy sings beautifully, as he does in every song. ~ Live performances of "Nobody's Hero," where Geddy sings the final line and the stage fades to black. ~ The quiet bridge in "Resist," when it's only Geddy's voice and an acoustic guitar. I love this band so much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HowItIs Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 (edited) 2112 - the transition into Priests, after "And the meek...", when that galloping beat begins. The Trees - after the instrumental break, when Alex does those little staccato guitar bits. La Villa Strangiato - the first time the Strangiato theme is played; Waltz of the Shreve; A Farewell To Things The Spirit Of Radio - that arepggio!! After the break, the sudden change back to the original key/time before the reggae bit. Freewill - that two beat bounce in the chorus Natural Science - the transition from Tide Pools to Hyperspace Tom Sawyer - "... changes aren't permanent, but change is..." one of my favorite Rush phrases. YYZ - that awesome bass break... you know, the one with the harmonics?! The Anagram Kid - "You move me..." when those Taurus pedals come in... wow! Red Sector A - the way Geddy sings "... prayer to profanity..." (actually this is one of Ged's best vocals, IMO) Kid Gloves - That riff! Can't get it out of my head. Force Ten - the drums at beginning and end Time Stand Still - the first time the keyboard hook is played (that Aimee Man then sings). So plaintive. Anagram - the piano break Presto - the guitar solo and the drum bit just at the end of it Hand Over Fist - the guitar at the beginning and the solo; "... feel the world expand..." Available Light - The ending; "I'll go with the wind, I'll stand in the light..." Roll The Bones - the bass break just before the "organ" keys come in; the BEAT POETRY (it's not a rap) Ghost Of A Chance - those tasty guitar licks at the end Heresy - That last verse. Baby boomers like me really get it on a visceral level: "All the crap we had to take..." Leave That Thing Alone! - the 2nd time the guitar phrase plays, the drums... floor tom to high-pitched tom Cut To The Chase - when that grungy guitar comes in -- kick ass! One Little Victory - the shuffle drum beat; "One little victo-reeeeeeeeeee.." Far Cry - "... one day I fly through a hole in the sky..."; those thundering drums at the end! BU2B - The way Geddy puts across the sarcasm in "... loves us all to death." Caravan - the instrumental section with those deep, pounding drums. That's it for now.. I started a similar thread last October: http://www.therushforum.com/index.php?show...c=60254&hl=spot There's some great responses there, too.
