Boring song made more boring by adding strings I'd love to hear it with strings as long as it isn't slowed down- that's what makes it real boring IMO. Keep it at the same speed as the album version and it'd be great live Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrightAntennae Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 My "guess" is we'll hear strings on: The Anarchist Halo Effect The Wreckers The Garden Mission Losing It I'm surprised it's only 6 songs (approximately) as rumored by FOH. I was expecting at least a couple more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J2112YYZ Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I think the only songs they'll do with strings are the songs that have strings in them to begin with. They're not gonna add strings to songs that didn't originally have them. This isn't the Symphony & Rush tour, it's still a regular rock tour like they've always done.

The only song I potentially see them adding strings to is Closer To The Heart. They have done everything else to this song including adding a jam at the end, alex playing the opening on an electric instead of an acoustic, etc. They might take the "risk" again with this song by adding strings to it.

I can say that the plan is to do approximately 6 songs with strings. if only 6 songs with strings, I think they will go with these: Clockwork Angels: The Anrachist Halo Effect The Wreckers The Garden Non- CA songs Losing It Manhattan Project However, I think they will play much more songs with strings if they are dragging them out with them on tour. I don't think they'll spend all that money on a string section and not utilize them. Now lets examin FOH Lights quote: QUOTE I can say that the plan is to do approximately 6 songs with strings. Now is that (Approximately) more than 6 or less? We don't know and is that in addition to the Clockwork Angel songs or Clockwork Angels songs. He didn't say in total did he? Lets face it all we can gather from this is that there's a gag order in place and that they are utilizing strings cause this leak is a little vague!

Alexmai Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 (edited) In my opinion, "strings" means at least 60/90 minutes of them on a 180m concert... not 6 songs. Plus, they said they'll use double necks... maybe we'll see Xanadu with strings? Edited August 29, 2012 by Alexmai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have heard those statements as well. I would dare to say it was a factor to include strings on the tour in the first place. At some point a decision was in the balance. Naturally, you weigh the pros and cons. I think a CTTH arrangement with strings was enticing enough for them to add it to the pro list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThinkingBig Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Does it seem like they may have not given themselves enough rehearsal time? Given the complexity of new material, plus the notion of synching with a string section, these are two relatively new endeavors for Rush. I would think they would have needed extra rehearsal time.
