HereAgain Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 To me, Analog Kid is one of Rush's greatest songs and an unbelieveable experlience live! Who's with me on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYM86 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 (edited) While I haven't heard it live, I can easily see someone putting it up there with Rush's greatest. Vivid, imaginative lyrics, energetic verses, lush chorus, and that guitar solo. Edited August 4, 2012 by NYM86 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBJetsman Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Kinda an overrated song. I think New World Man and Subdivisions easily destroy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdFireYYZ Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Its one of my favorites. I'd love to see it live! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powderfinger Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 One of my ten favorites. I predict it will be in the setlist again this fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mighty Dudad Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 LOVE this song. One of my top 15 Rush songs, and has one of my favorite NP lyrics: "A fawn-eyed girl with sun browned legs dances on the edge of his dreams" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silas Lang Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Great riff, great playing from the whole band (duh!) with a blistering Lifeson solo but I don't think I would say it's one Rush's greatest. There's some serious competition to reach that level. The chorus is kind of a let down and a bit melodramatic, not one of their strongest relatively but that's a minor criticism. No problem with anyone who loves it but I'd rate anything from MP or GUP above it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bastille Dave Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 my favorite track from Signals is The Analog Kid, followed my most fan's favorite Subdivisions. It's simple from a drum aspect but Geddy's bass is a monster and Alex has a nasty solo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

micgtr71 Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Favorite song from Signals. When they brought this out on Counterparts, I almost fell out of my chair. I think they did it on T4E as well, but I am not sure. I would love to see them bring this back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't play it on the T4E tour. I saw them three times, once on the first leg and twice on the second and it wasn't played. It's my favorite off Signals and I would love to hear it live.

Must be RTB then. I remember that I saw it twice...at least I think I did. Age, you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was very little chance of knowing the set list in those days unless you heard something about it on the radio or something so when they started playing it I almost wet my pants. They nail it live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
