New World Kid Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 I love Stick It Out... maybe not as much as Cut to the Chase or Everyday Glory... but Stick It Out is one of my favs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes (like it) 22 No/euurgh: 12 Apparently not everyone agrees My perfect world would have chosen CTTC or Cold Fire, but SIO rocks too. Also digging Marathon and Presto Edited June 30, 2010 by Pause Rewind Replay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snyder80 Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 It's a great tune. Not in my Rush top 10 but it's definitely a rocking tune. Remember the boys were in a transition during this album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidcrystalcompass Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 I like Stick it Out about as much as I like One Little Victory. And that ain't much at all. These are two of a very very small list of songs that I don't like from Rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpiritOfRush Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 QUOTE (DetachedandSubdivided @ Jun 30 2010, 12:37 PM) I can't think of any Rush song that I "hate", but this one is one of a few that I could stand to do without in concert. But I'll be standing and listening all the way through it, of course. Agreed, I can't truly say I hate anything they've ever put out...but I could do without Stick It Out being played. There are even better songs on CP they couldv'e went with instead (Nobody's Hero, Animate, COLD FIRE!!!) or heck just throw in Jacob's Ladder!!! But hey, I'll take whatever they throw at me!!!

Andrew1 Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 I think it's a great song and I like it a lot but there are so many other songs that I would rather hear in it's place. I thought it was a VERY peculiar selection. If a source told me that a song from 'Counterparts' would be played on this tour, I would have bet the house on 'Animate'. 'Stick It Out'? No way. When I first saw it on the setlist, I thought it was a hoax. It's all good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The K Man Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Yes, I like it. Granted, it is my least favorite song from Counterparts, but that is one of my favorite Rush CDs. Having said that, it is definitely a bit of a head-scratcher to have been brought back, as I would have preferred just about anything else from CP, but I am sure it will rock.

presto123 Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 I guess this poll didn't turn out like you thought.....LOL.....lots of love here for Stick It Out......I'd rather hear Everyday Glory but I don't mind SIO either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

96cobra10101 Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Just curious because no one mentioned it, but what about "Alien Shore"? I voted yes on "Stick it out", but it was one of the tracks I liked first on the album when I bought when it came out. "Between Sun and Moon" is one of my favs from the album, and "Speed of Love" is pretty good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd better duck That song gets slaughtered here on a regular basis. For me it's OK, but toward the bottom of a very strong album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TullSkull Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 QUOTE (LeaveMyThingAlone @ Jun 30 2010, 12:34 PM)This song rocks. Really sick riff. And Alex's solo just goes off and then when he goes back into the riff after the solo is a really cool transition. Really heavy song. I'm baffled by all the haters of this one...same as Leave that Thing Alone Ditto man... I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rushchick10 Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 "Rush,...it's all good!" Look, at this point in their careers, I feel that as long as they are willing to show up and play, I am not going to complain! Play the crappiest Rush songs, covers, I don't care! I will shell out my hard-earned Benjamins and I will be there! Singing my heart out and pumping my fist! Is Stick it Out my favorite Rush tune? No, not even close! But, it is what it is, and they chose to play that song for some reason. I'm cool with that...and even, dare I say, EXCITED about it! Actually, I am more excited about The Camera Eye, Vital Signs, and Presto than any other song in the set list! I am SO, SO, SO HAPPY they are playing Presto!! I think I might cry!

Checkster2112 Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Its a decent song IMO but I just don't understand why that would be what they chose out of an album full of great tunes. I'd have killed for Animate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReflectedLight Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 it's not a bad song but i haven't played that song in a long time and i haven't looked to play it. i'm surprised it's in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I am sure sounds great. Just saying though. Straight up replacing Stick It Out with Double Agent wouldn't quite work since it's so early in the set. When I saw Double Agent on the CP tour the stage show was very intensive: Pyro, prisims, lasers, you name it. So inside or at night? Of course! During the day? They'd have to change the props and etc. a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
