SchemingDemon Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 QUOTE (UltimoGuitarist @ May 30 2012, 10:27 AM) Why are there so many votes for Xanadu? I mean, I love Xanadu just as much as the next Rush fanatic, but why not something more rare? Cinderella Man or Cygnus X-1 in full ftw people. Meh. We're just being realistic. Geddy himself says he can't sing AFTK anymore, and Cygnus can't be any easier. I'd be happy to never hear CTTH played anymore, and Madrigal and Cinderella Man would just be boring live Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltimoGuitarist Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 How do you figure Cinderella Man would be boring live? That super is super upbeat and fast at times. Has a great bridge and solo. Idk I think if you want to be realistic and say, AFTK and Cygnus are out, sure, but Cinderella man would be a great one to pull out of the vault.

apetersvt Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 1. AFTK 2. Cygnus X-1 3. Xanadu What an incredible album. I would love to hear each and every song off of this album (although I think I would prefer not to hear Closer To The Heart - as I would rather than be replaced by an older 'b-side' tune) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUP1771 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 I only enjoy hearing Xanadu and Closer to the Heart from this album (although I haven't come back to take a look at the other songs in a long time), and since Closer to the Heart is heard ALL the time, I would love to see Xanadu. I know people say they want the entire thing or nothing. That's just silly. Something is better than nothing and I would gladly take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FountainOfSyrinx Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 QUOTE (SchemingDemon @ May 25 2012, 06:02 PM) Xanadu's the only one that actually seems like a possibility (besides CTTH of course). edit: ...and Alex (or was it Geddy?) recently stated that they're definitely thinking about bringing the doublenecks back on stage. What else could that possibly mean? Wasn't Rivendell played on a double neck..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PolarizeMe Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 QUOTE (beherit @ May 26 2012, 11:26 AM) QUOTE (J2112YYZ @ May 26 2012, 07:11 AM) XANADU. I would've voted for the title track but I read somewhere that they tried to rehearse it for the R30 tour but Geddy couldn't sing it. If he couldn't do it eight years ago he sure as hell can't do it now. Xanadu is still a strong possibility though. If they just tuned it down a bit I think they could play the title track I'm not sure if they played it in standard tuning or they tuned it down when they tried rehearsing AFTK, but if Geddy couldn't sing it detuned, then there's definitely no chance of it being played live. Oh, and I also voted for Xanadu, in full of course, but if they only play an extract of it a la R30, I'll be fine with that as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyclonus X-1 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 QUOTE (SchemingDemon @ Jun 1 2012, 06:32 PM)If they pulled out Rivendell count me in the mass-exodus-to-the-bathroom group It would be incredible. Picture it: Neil goes off for his post-drum-solo break as Geddy and Alex sit down with their acoustics. Instead of playing the dull and expected Resist, they start strumming Rivendell. I'd be the most psyched person there (and perhaps the only person there, if these predictions of bathroom pilgrimages prove accurate). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
