WIDE-ANGLE WATCHER Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I have always loved this song... Not sure why....I admit it's a little cheesy.... I just like the word play with the vanity and mirror thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefox4000 Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I love this tune....and it is corny particularly towards the end. but it's a great little tune. Presto is a great little record Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYM86 Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Very good song. Sure the "Boys and girls together" part is a little cheeseball, but I can dig it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeaveMyThingAlone Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Absolutely love this tune. Like other songs on Presto, the crappy sound of the album hurts, but still a GREAT song. Just wish it had some balls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like other songs on Presto, the crappy sound of the album hurts, but still a GREAT song. Just wish it had some balls THIS Hopefully they dig this song back in the set on this tour. Based on how Presto sounded on the last tour, I think War Paint would work really well live. Edited June 29, 2012 by PolarizeMe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchemingDemon Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 If they do play a song from Presto this tour, my choices would be in this order: The Pass, Chain Lightning, Scars, Available Light, Show Don't Tell, War Paint I enjoy WP, so I guess I like Presto more than I thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That One Guy Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 One of my favorites. Best off Presto to me, with Chain Lightning in second. I'd love to see it on the tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyclonus X-1 Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 I like War Paint. The corny ending is the best part--it's so catchy. Hand over Fist is another nice Presto song that doesn't seem to get much love. I'm not all that interested in hearing these tunes live, though. The Pass is always my first choice off Presto, but as for a dark horse, Available Light is one I'd love to see them perform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn Alex cut your hair! And Ged looks like he belongs in a 60s marijuana legalization campaign. Neil's got a cute smile thing going on at 0:22. Looks like he's trying not to laugh I suddenly really like this song again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIDE-ANGLE WATCHER Posted June 30, 2012 Author Share Posted June 30, 2012 Thanks all for the feedback.... I knew I was not the only one who loves this tune.... Corney...a bit cheesy...not heavy rock...but still.... ...a very catchy song. I would be happy to hear War Paint live.....but would choose Chain Lighting, The Pass and especially Superconductor for a song to played off Presto.

Thanks for posting this. No problem...came across that video a month or so ago, happy to post it since I grew up with late 80's early 90's Rush. Big fan of the Presto album and War Paint.

Bangster of Goats Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Yup, love this song along with most of the Presto album (Superconductor usually gets the skip treatment.) It's kind of a little, minor thing, but I love the keyboard ostinato that plays on the verses. That kind of textural sonic element (another song that immediately comes to mind as having a similar element is Heresy, again on the verses) is on a list of Rushisms I wish the band would employ more often.

I can't believe that was 22 years ago. I say them this month on that tour in Albany. 22 years...gaaah! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
