rugen Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Here's one explanation from Geddy on why the band stop of doing long songs after "Hemispheres" quote: "They just became too easy to do, a little boring." "We felt like we where just doing the same song over again, just changing the words." The band seems to think that is more of a challenge to make simpler and shorter song. But why the Hemispheres session were so long and difficult? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
losingit2k Posted July 19, 2010 Author Share Posted July 19, 2010 I think Neil is getting the itch to do something big! "I can't stop thinking big!" Sith Voice: "Do it!" Do it now!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel Rat Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 All 12 songs will be 20-minute epics; each one will be a guitar, drum, and bass feature. They will perform all of the songs on triple-neck instruments - even Neil. What reason do you have to not believe me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hughes&kettner Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 i don't think rush has a riff with more simple, raw heaviness than the beginning of BU2B. It reminds me a bit of Black Sabbath... I think it's a very well written and very well played song, both live and studio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've noticed that with any new Rush you need to listen to the song at least 5 times. To truly understand what the guys are doing! 1st listen " (Over All feel) 2nd Listen"(Words) 3rd Listen"(Geddy's Base) 4th Listen"(Alex's Guitar) 5th Listen"(Neil's Percussions) Then only then will the songs begin to sink in!

GrandDesigner Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 An epic song would be awesome, but I hope it'd be an adventurous trip and not just three Workin' Them Angels stuck together or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTimeMachineMan Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 I think we'd all love another Rush epic but sadly I don't see it coming... If you've seen beyond the lighted stage they say they don't plan on doing anymore epics... thats a bummer Anywho we still have 2112 and The combination of both Hemispheres song we can thank them for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kungfugrip7 Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 As Rush fans, I think we should all be thankful for a few things: 1. Rush is still together, having weathered a SEVERE tragedy. Rush is still with us. 2. Rush is still relevant (more now, oddly, than ever before). 3. Rush is still interested in creating new music. 4. The members of Rush all appear to be of sound body and mind and have found a second wind, if you will, and we can speculate that we may have a good chunk of years with which to continuously enjoy them as a current and active band. 5. Rush (with the exception of Neil, at times) loves to tour Sometimes when I read the various complaints and griping about the band, it sort of infuriates me. We are very fortunate that our favorite band is still cranking along, still having fun, still writing music and still getting out there. Rush is probably never going to make another "2112" or "Hemispheres", and everyone should deal with it and get over it. They're simply not in that head space any longer. Instead of complaining about it, why not embrace what the band is all about now? The two releases off of "Clockwork Angels" are incredible rock songs that feature a band that is still on top of their game. Listen to all the cool changes in "Caravan" for example--Neil's drumming is superb! Go back and listen to "Snakes and Arrows" if you initially dismissed it. Consider how proud of this record Rush is--they played nearly the entire thing on their last tour--that's got to mean something. If Alex, Neil, and Geddy aren't creating new music the way THEY want to, I'm pretty sure that'd be the end of the line. They aren't the type of band to do a "Golden Oldies" tour, and I don't blame them. As artists, they have to do what fulfills THEM and what makes them proud. My point is--please, stop the bitching. Embrace this phase of the band and try to see it their way, because it means a lot to them. I saw them at Mohegan Sun in CT last night, and I was blown away by their performance. They seem like a band that is still hungry and love to play. Flawless. Rocking. Incredible. I, for one, really enjoyed the song selection. With so many albums and songs to choose from, they're NEVER going to please everyone all the time. Anyway, VIVA Le Rush! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
