losingit2k Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 (edited) I know the Pedlar asks several times; "What do you lack?" ON Clockwork Angels Where here it is: The 5.1 Making of video that accompanied their last CD. I know right about now I could use a making of video of the recording of this incredible post MP masterpiece. It would be so great watching Nick conduct Neil through Headlong Flight, or watching Geddy just letting loose on the bass during 7Cog, Or Alex pieceing together that incredible lead during The Anarchist. Even the String section recording their magnificent part during The Wrecker would have been a feast for the eyes. This album has so many great moments that it truly a making of Video. Which IMHO is the only thing that the pedlar could provide.

Mr. Not Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 I don't think the album is lacking anything, it's just excessive and redundant in certain areas is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gixxerman001 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 More content? Yeah, I go for that. I just hope that the next Blu-ray they do is a bit like the recent Pearl Jam 20 release & recorded over many nights of the tour to try to stitch together a lengthy masterpiece record of the band at their best.

vital signz Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Wrong. It lacks "What do you lack?" The lyric insert shows ii-The Pedlar 2 it to be between Headlong Flight and BU2B2. It specifically notes 'the ever wandering pedlar' asking "What Do You Lack"... But it ain't there. Nowhere to be found. Somebody goofed. I don't mind one bit; I just think it's an error.

bluefox4000 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 It's way overlong.......but I'd say that if any artist did 66 minutes......less is sometimes more. Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Principled Man Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 I avoid "Making Of" videos like the plague. I have zero interest in knowing how any album or film was made. For me, it destroys any mystique or mystery that the piece may have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I'm just extremely interested in the "behind the scenes" kind of deal. I love that kind of stuff. I don't think I've ever met anyone who has that sort of opinion with a logical way to back it up like that. Bravo. And maybe they'll release a documentary or short 30 minute piece on the Clockwork Angels Tour DVD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which IMHO is the only thing that the pedlar could provide. Great ideas for a thread. A spicy topic to say the least. The first thing that popped in my mind was the fact that Clockwork Angels lacks any competition for album of the year so far. It lacks a superior effort in the pantheon of Rush, meaning, it sits with the best they've ever put out. You are right that a similar type making of video would hit the spot. Look at the pics of the recording sessions....cameras were present and the band is always looking to make a buck (good for them). There's more to come I believe...here's to hope!

Bangster of Goats Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 (edited) Eh, I watched the "making of" stuff with my copy of the Super Duper DVD limited edition of Snakes and Arrows like, once. What CA needed was... more Moog synth! lol. No, seriously, Geddy's had his Moog Little Phatty synth perched on top of his keyboard rig for the last several years and I was hoping it would make its recorded debut on CA. Oh well, maybe next time! Edited August 20, 2012 by Bangster of Goats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sitboaf Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 As someone who doesn't understand the thread, I wouldn't have minded an instrumental.

Star Wars, Lord of The Rings, Avatar, 2112, Clockwork Angels,....it's all pure fantasy. It appeals directly to one's imagination and willingness to "escape" real life, if only for an hour or two. Documentaries, especially about the films and their special effects, ruin that escapism for me. But I know that many people love to see how it's all made. Curiosity is just as strong as imagination.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowman Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 I am sure we will get an studio docu like on S&A.
