RUSHHEAD666 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Thanks to the "Reverse Starman" Thread I started thinking about why Rush are obsessed with naked men. Obviously the Starman dies at the end of "2112," so could the naked dude on the cover of "Hemispheres" be his brother? By the way, which naked man is on the cover of "Exit Stage Left?" Is it the STARMAN or his brother Joe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdFireYYZ Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 (edited) I heard that the Starman is related to the naked guy on the cover of Going For The One. Edited January 16, 2012 by ColdFireYYZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Invisible To Telescopic Eye Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 (edited) No, he's not his brother...He's a whole different totally naked dude....And I hope there is another totally naked duse on the cover of CA and I'm talkin' full frontal.

Babycat Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Don't ask me why, but I always thought the nudie on the Hemispheres cover was meant to be based on Hugh Syme. Christ, I don't know why I put that down - just read it somewhere, I think... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Principled Man Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 The naked man's identity is not important. What matters most is if he's a Sensitive Naked Man..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mika Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 This is a bit embarrassing, but when I was first exposed to Rush, Hemispheres was one of two albums that I was introduced to, and with my very limited knowledge of the band, assumed that the naked man on the album cover was the singer of the band, some guy named Geddy. It took me a bit of time to realize that this was, in fact, incorrect. Geddy had much more hair at the time than the guy on the cover, so it couldn't have been him! I know much more about the band today, but I still giggle to myself about how I'd simply assumed that the naked man was Geddy. I mean, can you imagine if Rush had actually done that?

circumstantial tree Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 They had to put a "chick" exposing some leg on Permanent Waves, because people were wondering about the band's obsession with men's asses. Permanent Waves probably stopped rumors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USB Connector Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 The one on 2112 was Alex (guitarist), Neil on hemi (logical Apollo of the band), ESL is Geddy (band frontman/singer) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Running Rebel Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Neil never got to proof Hemis cover art and was,his words, "horrified" when he saw it. Don't blame him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilb1972 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 QUOTE Neil never got to proof Hemis cover art and was,his words, "horrified" when he saw it Yea Hemispheres is a strange cover, even if the guy wasn't nude, it would be odd. Rush has some cool covers, but they have the odd one from time to time and that is certainly one of 'em. I don't know if Hugh was going for some sort of Hipgnosis-styled cover or what, but I can see why Neil was 'horrified'. Power Windows is another odd cover.

I guess because when I first got into Rush, I had never seen that cover, or most of any of their covers, because it was a friend in HS who made me a mix tape (ah, the days of mix tapes!) and The Big Money and Mystic Rhythms were on that mix tape. I guess in my mind I built up an image of what the album cover would look like before I saw it and then when I did, I guess it just wasn't what I expected. Strange sounding I know, but over all these years, it still just seems odd for that sound. It just looked to me like it should have been the cover of a different album I guess!
