I'm hoping Nick R. pushed Neil a little bit again - I am dying to see him get a little show-offy. He's earned it, dammit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes me think of the Rush lyric from Dreamline "time is a gypsy caravan...." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solitudeix Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 I could really dig hearing a wise old(er) Geddy singing lyrics like "We sailed through endless skies Stars shine like eyes The black night sighs ...." obviously those lyrics are taken... but Neil could throw in some crazy aloof lyrics like that and I would love it.

EmotionDetector Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 QUOTE (1-0-0-1-0-0-1 @ Apr 21 2010, 11:15 AM) Do you think playing Moving Pictures in its entirety may influence the new material? It's hard to say, I think it's going to be an interesting challenge to play some of those songs, especially "The Camera Eye," a song we haven't played in years and years. Obviously, we'll probably do a slightly newer take on it. You never know what effect bringing older songs back has on you. There are times in the past that we thought, "There is no way we can make this song work," and then you get into rehearsal, you start playing it, and you're really pleasantly surprised how much you're enjoying it. And sometimes it takes on a whole new life. I think we've stopped being kind of cynical about our past in a way, and sometimes having a second look at an older song gives it a whole new story. This quoted line from Geddy is the one I really hope he is serious about. In the past, the Boys have strayed away from playing some of those real gems that most of us enjoy and would love to see live, but they have constantly overlooked because "they don't enjoy them now". I really hope that he is serious about this, and that they are looking at this tour in this light, and looking to bring back those gems that we have been waiting for, but they have deprived us until now!

AVman9 Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 I'm hoping Alex brings back excessive guitar modulation effects like on Hemispheres through Signals. TONS of chorus, and quite a bit of flanger. His late 70's tone was the reason I spent money on an old Boss chorus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
