Rush-O-Matic Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 QUOTE (liddybuck01 @ Jul 23 2012, 12:05 PM) well, unless they change at last minute. Alex confirms that Carnies will be played live, along with older tracks accompanied by strings. read about it in the new Guitar World magazine. Here's the quote: QUOTE "Carnies" has some appropriately wild carnival sounds. What effects did you use on that? In the choruses, when you get that real carnival sense, I used one of the plug-ins, Guitar Rig 5. I don't remember the actual sampled sound; I'm going to have to go back to the earlier versions in Logic to find out - which I'm going to have to do anyway for when we play the song live. If I'm being objective here, that's hardly confirmation. That could mean "when" as in "whenever" as in "if." They just started rehearsals and he and Geddy have both said they plan to play a lot of CA in this tour. They could very well be planning to play it live, but it could end up getting cut when they trim down to the 28 or so songs they'll include. (They have to make room for more "hilarious" video segments, afterall. You know, the video segments that have made Rush the band they are today, and garnered respect and recognition for their ability and longevity from fans and other musicians.) QUOTE (Snaked @ Jul 23 2012, 01:26 PM)Please do NOT post spoilers in thread titles. I know the title was edited out, but really, having Alex say it is hardly a spoiler. As has been pointed out, Alex says a lot of stuff that never really comes to fruition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nobodys hero Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I do not think they will play any songs that didn't have strings in them to begin with. If the song didn't have it originally I don't think they will re-arrange it to play it with strings now. There are songs previously mentioned in this thread that have strings in them like Tears that they really never play live and now they will be able to with a string section playing along like the original recording. I look forward to hearing songs they may never have played live due to lack of strings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dtpoet Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 - I think JL is a lock. - They just did Marathon, so my guess is Manhattan Project. - If they do add a string arrangement to any song, it would be CTTH - I mean they've done everything else to that song for a live performance so why not take this opportunity. I can actually see it being the last song of the set that requires the string section, maybe a little jam with them to wrap up their session. Just thinking outloud. - as much as I want PM, LnK is a perfect string song live. - I predict the first set does not have strings until they play the first 5 songs of CA to wrap up the set. The added musicians will take their positions while a video segment is playing so that crowd is distracted. They will begin the 2nd set which will be 5 "2nd side" songs of CA, stay for a handful of older songs and depart just before the drum solo. - CA songs excluded - HE & BU2B2. - Some form of Xanadu will appear. If I recall, it has double necks - if that still is aviable theory. That's all I can think of for now.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
