tkdryan Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 on the last tour,, i thought the only song he struggled a lil bit was Limelight,, i went to that concert with a buddy who also saw the snakes and arrows tour, he said Geddy sounded much better now then in 07,, odd overall i thought Geddy sounded great,, he nailed Marathon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, that comment is like a smouldering turd on a nice, grassy field. Doesn't matter, he's got a point, regardless whether it's sarcasm or not. He doesn't exactly sound like RJD, now does he? I liked him better when he actually could sing, which would've been 82-2007. Every hemisphere bootleg I have, he just is ALL over the place, and it makes it really uncomfortable to listen to. It is obvious that he had not taken singing lessons yet. Who's RJD? And while of course everyone has their own opinion (and Geddy's singing has many different opinion camps!), I'm still surprised to hear him described as a shitty singer. It's funny, when I was first exposed to Rush, I never thought about Geddy's voice as off-putting at all (and Hemispheres was my first intro!), though my Mom certainly didn't care for it.

I really felt like he was using something on the HYF tour. There was a vast difference in his vocal quality from PoW to HYF. I'm convinced something happened between those albums. When you listen to ASOH, he sounds like a robot or something, his vocals are definitely being pumped through some sort of device on that tour, I always assumed to try and help smooth out his voice. But it was the 80s, noone cared, that kind of silliness was pretty normal, but now I'm not sure it would fly. Could you imagine this board if he started singing through a machine to make his voice sound better? Total meltdown on this board if that happened.

Total meltdown on this board if that happened. Weren't the Replay videos Auto-tuned? Not at the show, and not in the original releases, but when they re-did them for Replay? A Show of Hands was one of those - is that the release you have? Back to Geddy's voice - my first show was last year, and I was impressed enough with it (and everything about Rush) that I fell in love with them, which I think is telling.

Actually, I think there was speculation that they autotuned Ged's vocals on the "Replay X 3" re-released version of ASOH. There was a long thread on here about this with clips from TSOR. I was hugely skeptical, but I checked my own DVD and I think there may be some truth to this. There was one phrase in particular ("bright antenna?") where I think you really can hear the dreaded Cher autotune effect. Having said that, I don't remember ever hearing autotune evidence on any of their other live DVDs or ever hearing this live. I do think Ged sounded a little rough on TSOR (opening song) on the TM tour, but he settled very quickly into a pretty good vocal tone and pitch for the rest of the show. I think next tour they'll very likely pick an easier song (vocally) for Ged to warm up with, as TSOR is pretty tough. EDIT: 1 or 7 beat me to it.

Ghostnotes Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Man the hostility here. I agree thay have slipped a litter due to age and some songs sound better than others, but the most part it's ok with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astromancer Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Geddy sings fine. Hell, he sounds better than he has in a while, IMO. He's older. We just have to deal with that, but it isn't degradation of quality that we're dealing with, only an aging voice. I think he's adapted quite well. And when you factor in that they're playing as good as ever, and still progressing as musicians, there's nothing at all to worry about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USB Connector Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Age is natural, the fact that they have managed to keep the quality of their live performances of older songs as high as it is now is fantastic. They sound fantastic now, despite their age. By all means, you or anyone else shouldn't go see the shows anymore and suffer through it. That way the odds of me getting a better seat increase. It's win-win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
